Braces Made Simple, Tips From A North York Orthodontist
The end of the school year marks the beginning of summer, and for some children the start of their time with braces. Careful preparation and care before, during and after any orthodontic treatment guarantees that smiles will stay straight for a lifetime.
Before Getting Braces North York orthodontist Dr. Arun Rajasekaran says parents should consult an orthodontist before choosing the ideal treatment plan for each patient is crucial in getting the perfect smile. Some patients might be suitable candidates for Invisalign teen, or ceramic braces in place of traditional metal braces.
Before braces are installed, parents should note that their child might need spacers inserted between teeth, or have teeth extracted for optimal results.
Getting Braces The day of braces installation, an orthodontist will first glue a bracket on each tooth and thread the wire through the bracket. These wires will tighten and pull the teeth into place.
Children are advised to stick to soft foods for the first few days after getting braces, as the mouth will be sore and teeth will be sensitive. It is also recommended to use dental wax on any wires or brackets that might cause sores or lacerations until patients get used to having braces.
Life With Braces Braces increase the probability of tooth decay, so children should carry around a "braces survival kit." This kit should contain a toothbrush, toothpaste, extra rubber bands and toothpicks to keep up dental hygiene while out and about, as Markham orthodontic treatment provider says.
Life After Braces After several months and an orthodontist's approval, patients are ready to reveal their new smile. Braces are removed by using simple physics- orthodontists apply force between the tooth and the bracket and the braces pop off. Most patients agree, the loud popping noise sounds a lot more painful than it actually is. Patients are advised to wear a retainer to ensure their smiles never go crooked again.
Overall Braces do require a little more effort, but once children spend the summer getting accustomed to their new dental hygiene routine, their new smile will be worth the hard work, as the Markham teeth braces provider belives.

I had this game when I was a kid, and now my child is enjoying the game. The game may be challenging to put together the first time, but the assembly becomes easier as the kids become familiar with the pieces. After we played and assembled the game together the first time, my six year old was able to assemble the game herself following the building plan. After a couple of times, she can now set it up in the correct order by herself from memory.

Clearly this is a game designed for kids with long attention spans, steady hands and patience. It was difficult for them (7& 9 year olds) to assemble without adult involvement. we ended up just putting it together and playing with the trap and ignoring the intended purpose of the game. Can't believe it has been around so long

I just saw Men In Black 3 in theaters and figured I'd write a quick review of it. It's pretty much spoiler-free.
To prepare for seeing it, I watched the first two movies the night before because I had actually never seen them before. Honestly, I didn't think much of them and I didn't really understand why my friends loved them so much. I guess it was a nostalgia thing. But anyways, I got through those and expected the same from the third MiB. But what I saw was much better!
I found that the first two movies were all about the plot of the movie; some evil aliens wants some special object and Agents K and J ( Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith) have to find it before they do to save the planet. There was very little character development in either of them, both keeping both K and J as fairly static characters. J was the wise-cracking young guy and K was the cranky, wise veteran. They mixed it up a bit in the second but it was basically the same stuff.
But in the third one, while they still had a some-what interesting plot, they focused heavily on the awkward relationship of partners K and J. The two, despite J's trying, were not friends as he said K was "too tight." Well, when J travels back in time to stop an alien invasion, he meets a younger, very different K. Played by Josh Brolin, young K was kinder, more talkative and far more open about his personal life. The movie let you see the real K, who for the first two movies was a closed book and I really enjoyed the change of pace from a total plot based story to a character driven story that actually had some heart, as can be seen at the end of the movie in a really nice scene that I won't ruin for you.
Other highlights of the movie include Bill Hader's character of Agent W who went around in disguise as Andy Warhol, which was hilarious. Also, Will Arnett's cameo as annoying Agent AA was a nice surprise. Finally, the character of Griffin played by Michael Stuhlbarg who experiences all possible futures simultaneously which was pretty cool.
Now the movie, however, wasn't perfect. I didn't find the villain of Boris the Animal to be all that interesting, simply an evil alien who wants revenge. Also, it lacked a lot of the comedy elements that had made the series so successful in the first place, though it still had the occasional witty line.
Overall, I enjoyed it but by no means was it perfect. I think it was the best of the series as the first two really didn't do it for me. The lack of genuine characters was something that really hurt the first two movies and was definitely addressed in the third installment that I really didn't expect much from.

4 PM Update - Chris is OUT of ICU being moved into a regular room. Great news! Click here for more! http://tnne.ws/1ePDI8L
If you hadn't heard, Country star Chris Young has been hospitalized this week with a serious infection on his leg. He's being treated witht he strongest of antibiotics through IV waiting for the cultures to come back and tell doctors specifically what they are dealing with.
Laying in a hospital bed is no fun. You can only flip the tv remote around while being probed for vitals every three hours around the clock for so long. Here's to anyone else who is currently dealing with a hospitalization. Prayers for Chris for a fast recovery. Here are his latest tweets.
The hardest part currently at the hospital? The constant machines beeping. #getting better

Hi owners,
I'm trying to decide between 60kW or 85 kWh battery and wondering if someone has done the work of finding out what the distance is between stations. Would 60kW be just fine? Its a significant ($8k) cost savings.
I'm counting on 60 kWh to make these distances !
copy / paste from some other thread :
SuperChargers (CA)
Barstow Hawthorne 121 miles
Hawthorne Tejon Ranch 92 miles
Tejon Ranch Harris Ranch 116 miles
Harris Ranch Gilory 111 miles
Gilroy Folsom 164 miles
Range Charge(100%) Standard Charge (85%)
Advertised Range @ 55 mph 230 196
Advertised Range @ 65 mph 196 167
Advertised Range @ 65 mph + HVAC 190 162
EPA Range 208 177
Real Life (Speeding or Climate = 2/3 range) 139 118
It's not "just fine". 60kWh Supercharged cars are a barely workable kludge. They have to stretch their range to the max (esp. at highway speeds), fully charge (which takes much more than twice as long) and generally clog up the system, which is designed for the long-distance model, the 85.
If I were going to be taking my S on road trips frequently, I would get the 85. I chose the 60 because it will be a city car 95% or more of the time. When the X comes, my version will be the largest battery available because it will be used for road trips. However, if the SCs are placed at intervals where I can comfortably use them for a trip, I will take trips in the 60 kWh S.
If you're living IN LA or IN SF you're probably good to go with the 60kwh for in-state road trips. Doing the SF>LA>SF drive is fine, and doing LA to Vegas is fine. LA to San Diego is fine too, but with no SC you can't round-trip it without using a level 2 charger. The only trip that is pushing it is the Gilroy to Folsom trip for a 60kwh - so if you're planning on making trips to Reno or Carson City or Lake Tahoe, keep that in mind.
Has anyone with a 60kwh with SC figured out how long it takes to full range charge with a SC from, like, 5% battery?
The same as with an 85. You get less, but the time required doesn't change.
It could be faster, battery can accept higher C than 85kWh version gets at SC max power. It hurts it more though. Depends how the wiring has been done (how many parallel vs series).

Wyvern Weathervane
Wyvern weathervanes are a perfect addition to the home. Also know as a griffen or dragon. This is the ideal present for someone that you know who wants to add that special something to their home. Perhaps even treat yourself.
Made of steel these black wyvern weathervanes will give years and years of enjoyment and service.
- Originated in Europe.
- Nearly always depicted as having two bird-like legs and two wings, sometimes with eagle's claws on the wingtips.
- Some had a serpent's head and the hind end of a serpent or lizard.
- Wyverns have been depicted in heraldry on shields, coats of arms and banners for hundreds of years, and are a symbol of strength and endurance.
- Name derived from the Saxon word Wivere, which means "serpent".
- Other variations include:
Wyvere [Middle English which means "viper"];
Wouive, Vouivre [names for the French Wyvern];
Old English form: Wyvre;
Old North French: Wivre. - The French Wyvern is depicted with the head and upper body of a voluptuous woman. A ruby set between her eyes helps her find her way through the Underworld.
- Wyverns became vicious and sinister creatures of pure evil in Western culture..
- Delighted in killing young maidens, other wyverns and relishing the taste of human flesh
- Modern depictions of wyverns include:
- Fiery beady red eyes;
- Foul-smelling poisonous and corrupt breath;
- A razor sharp stinger filled with poison on the end of their tails. - Came to symbolise envy, famine, war and hatred.
- This depiction of wyverns is associated with pestilence and viciousness.
How It Works
Both the arrow and the wyvern figure revolve on a ball bearing over a solid bushed stainless steel shaft. Well balanced and proportionally correct these Australian made weathervanes from Glenview Products actually work. The weathervane is powder-coated and like the early Ford motor vehicles, you can have any colour so long as it is black.
A stainless steel mounting plate is available for fixing to a flat surface such as the ridge line of a metal roof or a wooden garden post. Alternatively there is a steel gable bracket available for fixing to the apex of the gable (see Fixing Brackets). If you would like to order a fixing bracket to suit this product, please select from the product options above. Fixing brackets ordered with an Aussie Weathervane will not incur any additional delivery charges.

This entire collection of chandeliers is fantastic! I'm focusing on the 16 inch version, because of its versatility. This piece can be hung on an individual polished nickel or satin nickel Edge canopy or it can be used on a monorail system. It is clean and light and airy. The 16 inch Crystal Galaxy can easily be used in a small foyer, in a pair over a kitchen island or dining room table, or my favorite - directly over a bath!
Sales Consultant Recommendation
On May 09, 2012 by Kara Manning (Staff Lighting Consultant) View Profile
The Crystal Galaxy happens to be my favorite fixture overall. This chandelier looks like a piece of jewelry hanging from your ceiling - it's certainly a conversation piece. It's made of delicately curved wires with crystals that hang from the tips like dew drops on a summer's morning. There is a halogen down light centered in the chandelier to help give more light on the surface below and a total of sixty 2 watt lamps placed behind each crystal.

My initial impression of American fashion came from the television show "Gossip Girl." I used to watch the series during high school when I was in China, and I was immediately attracted to the fashion. I thought everyone in the U.S. would dress this way and that fashion was everywhere. But when I arrived here, the fashion wasn't exactly what I dreamed. I was disappointed by what I observed because fashion is, in fact, not everywhere. Instead, it is full of casual shirts, sweatpants, and slippers. As I've gradually begun to experience more of the United States, my mind has changed toward fashion, especially when comparing it with China.

The United States has seen a rapid increase in the number of graduate students from India, according to a recent study, and the University of Iowa fits right in, though officials believe there's more that can be done recruiting Indians to Iowa City.
Studying abroad, both to the United States and overseas, has increased nationally and locally — which some University of Iowa officials say is due to a more interconnected world. "The world is getting smaller," said Georgina Dodge, the UI chief diversity officer and an associate vice president. "It is becoming easier to travel abroad … [and more] information has traveled between countries."
China has more than 5,000 years of history. Because of this, there is a lot of cultural heritage. An example of this is the four main classical novels about Chinese history. Journey to the West, which some Americans refer to as "monkey," was created by Wu ChenEn in the Ming Dynasty. The other three novels are Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Dream of the Red Chamber, and Water Margin. All four books are regarded as "must-haves" for Chinese children.
In ancient China, marriage is always fixed by your parents. Normally, it takes six etiquettes to become a legal couple. The first stage is to propose. The boy's family needs to invite a matchmaker (In Chinese, meipo) to propose the marriage to the girl's family. Once it's a successful match, the dual families need to give presents to show their gratitude toward the matchmaker. Before this, the boy and girl have not seen each other.
The University of Iowa will join over 100 countries worldwide to celebrate international education and exchange in observance of International Education Week 2013, a joint initiative of the U.S. Departments of State and Education. The public is invited to attend several lectures, workshops, information sessions, and other educational and social events Friday, Nov. 8 through Friday, Nov. 15 as part of this annual UI tradition.
Halloween's novel activities of pumpkin carving, dressing in costume, and eating candy corn are tradition to most students at the University of Iowa. These traditions are now also being shared with international students at the university in attempt to better incorporate them into Iowa culture. Life in Iowa, an ongoing orientation program sponsored by the UI International Student and Scholar Services, put on a pumpkin carving event Thursday night for International students.
University of Iowa students in the Department of Dance have collaborated with writers in residence at the International Writing Program to choreograph new dances inspired by the writers' works. A free, public performance showcasing their work will be held at 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 2, in Space Place Theater in North Hall.
Americans are not the only ones excited about Halloween today. I know I speak for Chinese students when I say many of us are really looking forward to the evening's festivities. My friends and I want to carve our own "jack-o'-lantern," dress up, and attend parties.
The University of Iowa College of Engineering hosted a group of faculty members and administrators Oct. 21 from various universities in India. The visit to the UI was a part of trips to several other universities in the U.S.
As turmoil in the Middle East continues to rise in several countries — including Egypt and Syria — the number of students studying abroad in that region is slowly declining for the UI. The most recent numbers show about half as many students study abroad in the Middle East and near that part of the world from the 2010-11 to the 2011-12 school years. Two years ago, 49 students traveled to the region and neighboring regions; however, last year that number dropped to 26 students.
Page. Pitch. Peach. Three words, three very different meanings. But do you think I can pronounce them very well? Let's just say it took a lot of practice — and I'm still having trouble with the middle one. I'm told that Americans don't have the same trouble with these words. But for a Chinese speaker such as me, the vowels prove to be very difficult.
Imagine leaving your home behind to study in a new country. As international students will tell you, it's a difficult process. "It's not very easy in the beginning when we came here," RuiHao Min, a senior marketing and economics student at the UI says. Since starting AiCheng magazine last May, Min realized that the student-run publication has the potential to benefit future international students adjust to American culture, in addition to current students who wish to tell their stories.

Fully 85% of U.S. adults own a cell phone. Of those, 53% own smartphones.
One in three cell phone owners (31%) have used their phone to look for health information. In a comparable, national survey conducted two years ago, 17% of cell phone owners had used their phones to look for health advice.
Smartphone owners lead this activity: 52% gather health information on their phones, compared with 6% of non-smartphone owners. Cell phone owners who are Latino, African American, between the ages of 18-49, or hold a college degree are also more likely to gather health information this way.
The results reported here come from a nationwide survey of 3,014 adults living in the United States. Telephone interviews were conducted by landline (1,808) and cell phone (1,206, including 624 without a landline phone). The survey was conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International. Interviews were done in English and Spanish by Princeton Data Source from August 7 to September 6, 2012. Statistical results are weighted to correct known demographic discrepancies. The margin of sampling error for the complete set of weighted data is ±2.4 percentage points.

The drab yellow brick exterior of old Kell Hall on the Georgia State University campus in downtown Atlanta belies the significance of what has gone on within. Slated for demolition in a couple years, the physically undistinguished edifice is a familiar sight to scores of elite American distance runners and a handful of foreign athletes, all of whom have slipped through its doors with some frequency over the past three decades. And they all came for the same reason: to visit Dr. Dave.
"Dave's like a brother, a dad and a granddad all rolled into one" says Keith Brantly, the athlete David Martin worked with more than any other. "I don't think I could have found a better mentor and friend in my life. He gets credit for everything that I ever did in my running career." Heartfelt praise such as this is heard time and again from those who have come into contact with Martin, someone who works mostly in the background to bring American distance running to the forefront. His influence has been nothing short of spectacular.
Now 68 and Regents Professor Emeritus at GSU's College of Allied Health Sciences, Martin's interest in running began when he participated in intramural cross country during his undergraduate days at the University of Wisconsin. There he received a B.S. in zoology in 1961 and continued to complete an M.S. in education, which led him to start teaching biology, chemistry and physics at Madison's Wisconsin High School. But when offered a Ford Foundation fellowship, Martin eagerly accepted and entered medical school, completing two years of basic medical science followed by five years of research to earn a Ph.D. in physiology.
Just as he was completing his Ph.D. dissertation, Martin was recruited to join the faculty at Georgia State University's College of Health Sciences. He would not have predicted that he'd still be in Atlanta four decades later, but in fact Martin has never seriously considered leaving. He set up his lab in Kell Hall in the fall of 1970 and began teaching courses in pulmonary, cardiovascular and exercise physiology. Combined interests in track and field, scientific research and wellness medicine naturally pointed Martin in the direction of assisting elite athletes. "I had already been asking myself why athletes so often seemed to be injured," he says. "The term 'healthy athlete' to me was almost an oxymoron." For more than three decades his work has not only kept runners healthy, it has made them faster.

Boston break ins: Loot recovered by police
BOSTON, Mass. (WHDH) -- More than $1 million of stolen goods, all taken by just one suspect, has been recovered by police.
Boston, Brookline and Needham Police are among the many police departments that say they've connected 44-year-old Craig Cromartie to over 200 break-ins at high-end apartment buildings, particularly in the Metro-west and North Shore areas.
The loot included purses -- some of them worth as much as $10,000 each -- jewelry, coins, electronics, and even a Teddy Bruschi autographed football.
Investigators say Cromartie hit the high-end apartments between midnight and 6:00 a.m., and made sure people weren't home by looking in the mailroom. He targeted apartments that had full mailboxes, assuming that meant people were on vacation. He even removed peepholes sometimes to look in and make sure the apartments were empty.
"He'd spend hours in an apartment and we've known that he can go into an apartment building at a specific hour -- 1:00 a.m. would a typical time -- and not come out of that building until 3:00, or 4:00 in the morning," said Sergeant Joe O'Brien of the Needham Police Department.
Police also arrested a 62-year-old jewelry store owner Floren Ghita. Police say they raided his shop on Washington Street in Downtown Crossing and found about $250,000 worth of stolen property from Cromartie's alleged robberies.
Cromartie is being charged with three counts of breaking and entering, and additional charges are pending.

The issue is still highly debated with passions running high on both sides. And now the supreme court could decide.
In oral arguments Tuesday, the 9 justices seemed divided over the issue of
same-sex marriage but united that perhaps the matter should not even be
before the Court.
University of Utah, Law Professor Clifford Rosky appeared on ABC4 News to discuss the hearing.

-- -- -- -- -- -- Yeah happened -- -- last week and you know export collapsed about five more weeks so I'd be down here for a -- These are more holy -- individual all the planets -- him.
And well I think everybody confirmed that this is about the the most disgusting out there that ever happened -- put it that way that's the other political questions on that -- are.
-- somewhere else but.
Yeah just.
Kind of makes you sector.
It's almost all -- inconceivable.
-- beyond an armored -- got to deal.
That this guy could.
-- John Kerry is not a moron.
Picked him to run.
Across -- -- is dire and considerably to the -- elected.
Current yeah you know -- -- -- -- -- you're you're you're having an affair you're on -- we wife has cancer at the time you're still running for president.
You know -- I'm not gonna try to kind of -- you could use to actually keep yourself from being pregnant.
And -- at the end of all of that than you do this.
Copper up to try to pretend it's someone else love and it just.
You know I know that there's always been this idea they take a couple -- -- pinpoint exactly what.
Amanda brain hasn't let -- get this -- -- is that for true.
So volatile but what -- prisoners.
-- -- -- McClellan to -- problem.
Who's down -- covering the blues on numbers trial.
Now of what they have to try to improve your bomb.
Well this is.
For one thing John Edwards and I admit completely there's an -- at -- shouldn't they be the ones that you know the lied to us -- -- -- or 2008.
2007 to everyone.
It would -- that -- that this was an -- this is definitely a copper up to try to pretend this is someone else's child but this is all about what any of this money that came and -- -- -- -- -- campaign finance.
What is actually get him to become the president.
And that's the one that these two sides to -- wanna ask where is the money where did it go and why -- -- John Edwards really know.
About it that's the trying to cut to be approved by the prosecution has been so hard so far because their big witness.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- You know pretend that you both father is -- woman was so a loyal aide to John petrol at time they somehow gotta use humor to tell the story about this was intended to make and the president.
Therefore a violation of federal -- financial.
-- just actually group.
-- -- -- -- -- Kabul bank one it's it's difficult approach because there's a huge reason which is absolutely true that part of the reason used to getting all these donors to give him money was to try I edit or if you really want some -- -- and it is no I think about it.
He definitely deal is which no question that need to be proven is that part of that money was for -- become President Bush.
If you mix pieced together from -- become a law you know if you do that for part of the reason the -- -- private.
Issues not political issues.
But workers just -- -- they speak it is -- is trying to say you have to prove that this is being the only reason for this were -- political addressed.
Not for a mixture of private and political.
But certainly that the -- prosecution drink all you need is a little piece that part of the reason all of this yes you covered the -- Q what doesn't find out.
But the affair and a baby.
But there is if there's just a little bit that it part of it as well worst actually -- all of this so that voters in the country it will vote for him.
And it doesn't need to back out.
And that could be a violation -- with.
A lot of experts.
Think this is very unique.
Approach to try to make this -- violation of the campaign finance -- Wondering why Edwards.
Good news is all money out a lot of it.
You know that can't stand because -- differences -- were trying to send you wouldn't.
It's just true that he was getting -- there's two big donors.
Fred baron and -- now.
You have all the money -- heard in -- and Andrew young's personal account.
There's reason was the hybrid.
Why give an act of god this -- what you want.
The could've just -- this easily you're talking about a million dollar -- job at recess easily had a million dollars.
What initiated -- million dollars why would -- use all these other people.
To -- -- and you bring all sorts of people that could be witnesses and reveal this complete kit and all this if you taking -- risks.
But the argument not a prosecution side and by Andrew Young as well as he was scared to death at eighty if you were there on the phone.
There's -- -- that conversation with any of these people.
That is account was traced by by Elizabeth -- life.
-- -- powerful.
Very strong person throughout all of this sheet and you'll hate this somewhat -- -- just -- reach out try to get much evidence she could.
But that's the argument the prosecution cents.
The deficit the reason why he used all these outside people can't hide it which separated did away from everything personal on -- -- -- -- Since like.
-- -- -- -- She's so she can deal essentially resign as well as we know what -- allotment ambiguous and -- is that a -- to the commanders you know she was absolutely okay.
-- -- actually worse.
I think it's somewhat more logical -- very much resisted decide you want her we're been Andrew Young gave her -- fact is that could drive into the McDonald's drive through.
When he -- you know what I'm pretend that this debate about the father's baby and she is wants ballistics -- is no way she's screaming at them.
Cursing them.
But then she get that she said okay I'm gonna do it could she didn't want their campaign default are just she's basically saying this whole idea -- -- -- What do you get him elected as president.
And therefore.
She and her husband get you know could help -- have a decent future but the argument from defense and that now they're due to exit they -- -- -- countrywide money.
You know Andrew Young ended up -- you know getting net selling off the rights to be -- to the movie you wrote the book politicians.
All of this.
Who brought him all sorts of money and entirely -- or to cash that is account so you don't want it's gonna try to explain.
She hated target but they try to add -- and John Edwards promised that she's not a violation of their campaign finance law.
Which she said the exact what you that.
So boils down zero event mergers just hiding their fair and the baby from his wife.
Here Indiana senator John nodded.
From the Republicans to get elected pennies -- -- basically -- Well -- even if they proved that again this -- this lost a little bit mushy.
You know under -- have to be a 100% all campaign Regan that's surely what the defense wants the -- but -- It's really hard it's hard to tell but it's a lot to the jury.
-- -- -- extremely.
And her younger you know -- -- -- describe this as you know warm person who are you know this could -- this is -- nickel short July actually shop.
There's always this that was raised that there was a one time a one night.
Vanity -- a with some another woman involved in the -- Andrew Young gets so this is not completely Korean companies and it.
-- the prosecution admitted that as well but Daihatsu it's kind of it's -- of -- mushy little argument between these two people that jury.

its actually not washed out though if you actually check it out in game. Its really quite good. Sun power on objects and darkness of shadows are perfect.
Oh, okay. I'll try it. I'm still dling skyrim, after the great steam debacle. I was downloading a few of my other games and forgot about it till today.
So I've been offline since last year! What have I missed? I checked out the workshop, downloaded 200 mods which Skyrim seemed to refuse to closing down. -.- I've backed off considerably (Using original 30 mods in Nexus (From last year) and 30 mods from workshop, without issue) and it seems mods that contain models, such as houses and cities etc are the most prominent at crashing Skyrim. Is this a common problem? It's seems quite a bummer.
The only problem I've had is installing a mod that overwrites something else and then when I remove it the game either crashes, or much more interestingly runs without that item; like hair for example; and all armor. That was a good one. Made the whole world naked lulz.

And they're both GOTY editions. And I just bought Morrowind this morning on steam. _____________________ Hey, did anyone else get the 1100mb update? What is it? still dling. Edit: Lulz, the entire game of morrowind is smaller than skyrims last update. Edit: Okay, the last update according to steam is to make skyrim an MMO. http://store.steampowered.com/news/?appids=72850
SO i was running to performance issues and it wasn't due to ENB. I was hitting a vram limit. I have 1280mb of ram on my GTX470. I checked how much I was using with all my 8gb of texture mods and I was using 1274mb and then obviously it was also taxing my system ram too. So I dropped my AA level to 2x AA, 3 of my texture mods down to 1024 resolution, and got rid of super samping AA for transparencies. I gained about 8fps doing this so i run at about a constant 30. which is good enough for skyrim to me.
I can't stand under 40 fps. With settings at high with 8x AA and AF and a heap of 4k texture mods I usually don't drop below 45 except for overlooks of course. I'm on 720p though, which probably accounts for that. Monitor is on my list after a new card. When I was using the .102 ENB I think, FPS were like 25 max.
CPU limited ^ doesnt matter what res CPU limitation remains the same no matter the resolution, and on a Phenom II your definately limited. that and ENB + Mods = greater then 1GB Vram usage meaning your spilling over into system ram which is much slower thus why FPS tanks,
yeah Irony your going to want to get a the GTX670. For $399 it looks like itll be 10 to 15% faster tehn the 7950. You also should get a new monitor. A new monitor is better then a graphics card upgrade to be honest.
Got permission to upload my Alpha changes for glass textures I had posted before. So take a look, please endorse! http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=16448
I'll see if I can tint the glass. Also for anyone who DL'd yesterday, I forgot the Meshes folder on that DL. Though turns out that was a good thing. There's some skimp armor mods out there that only uses Meshes. So if you use just my Textures and the Meshes from the skimp armor mods, my glass effect will apply to those skimpy armors. So I uploaded a new version with the meshes and renamed the old one to No Meshes, so people with those skimpy mods can dl that and be happy.
Just killed my first colourful deadly resilient dragon with extra loot. Definitely seemed more like a dragon, he didn't want to go down!
Looks like a lot of color difference as well. It looks better to me anyway but idk how that could affect other scenes. All of the colors look darker, more vivid "in a good way". And the mountains look bluer. It looks very nice. The gamma looks like it is a bit darker, as well. Some of the lighter lines in the axe, are gone. The "Washed out" effect and haze in the background, seems to be much less, in yours also. But you only modified the glass? Maybe all of the things I see, are just differences, in the games dynamic weather and time? I keep hoping for this game, to go on sale. Maybe I missed it.. If not I'm buying it next week anyway, when the gtx 680 comes in. I couldn't think, of a better game, to put it through it's paces. Has to be.. There is no other, logical answer.. XD
I took the before and after screens. I loaded in and took the Before Screens, then replaced the textures and used the same load for the After. But the damn weather changed that day, I had to wait for 3 days before the weather was close to what it had been in the original screens. Then I took the After pictures. Damn dynamic weather, so yeah just a bit different of a day, close as I could get though. But mostly the screen caps are just to show the transparency differences.

After the ruling celebration by Capt. Mark Futch, Bill Bishop, Commissioner Ken Wright and Commissioner Ron Bergeron. Photo provided by Rick Hirsch |
Many from Boca Grande came to address the commissioners, and the board also said they received many letters from children, asking them to preserve the local tarpon estuary through adoption of the new regulations.
Commissioner Ken Wright made the motion for adoption, citing reasons more important than economics.
"Protection of the resource outweighs the economic consequences," he said. "This rule is not intended to change human behavior, it is to protect a fish that lives to be 80-years-old. They deserve respect for being prehistoric and having a life span that, many times, exceeds ours."
And with that he made a motion to move the draft rule up for final adoption.
Commissioner Ron Bergeron seconded the motion.
"I'm not the type to set here and act like Ronald Reagan, I'm not into a lot of regulations and telling people what gear they can use," he said, "but as time has gone on and we've gotten more information on this jig with the weight on the bottom, and all the comments I've read, I think it's extremely important we protect the resource. When you look at all information we've been able to review, it's most likely this jig is snagging. When you snag a fish, the time it takes to get the fish in, the additional stress ... now you're affecting the mortality of the resource. Also, I think the economy in the long run will be much better by protecting the resource."
Commissioner Brian Yablonski agreed.
"How we hunt and how we fish – it matters," he said. "We don't shoot ducks on the water, we don't jacklight, there's no snagging from bridges. There is an ethical fair chase concern embedded in this."
After the meeting supporters and representatives from groups such as Save The Tarpon and Bonefish & Tarpon Trust gathered outside commission chambers.
Capt. Phil O'Bannon, an island fishing guide and executive director of Boca Grande's Mote Marine Laboratory office, was present ... and he was happy.
"It was a pretty short discussion," he said. "Everything had already been said regarding the issue. There were about three people who spoke who weren't in favor of the change and about 20 that were. I was very impressed with the commission; they did a great job and I commend them. It took a lot of work to see all the facts. I think it should have a huge economic impact and on our fishery in a positive way. All the commissioners who had any doubt before looked at the studies, which said they (bottom-weighted jigs) are most likely and probably snagging devices. They decided to rule on the side of the resource, and this is a great victory for our community and for groups like Save The Tarpon. And, most importantly, the fishery."
Rick Hirsch, a representative for Bonefish & Tarpon Trust, said this vote is significant in drawing to a close a chapter in history.
"Some enforcement issues may remain, but it appears the commission has evolved to an understanding that this technique is damaging the entire state's tarpon fishery," he said. "We need some time to digest this, but I know there are a lot of smiling faces here."
Capt. Tom McLaughlin, chairman of Save The Tarpon, was also at the meeting and addressed commissioners. After the meeting he said, "I think it was appropriate, hopefully it starts to have a positive impact," he said. "We're going to move foward from here to make sure the Boca Grande fishery continues on and to make sure that we continue to be called the sportfishing capital of the world."View More images >>

Housekeeping: A Gentlemen's Agreement
The most significant provision in 61B is the basic housekeeping requirement. Unlike the standard later adopted by OSHA, which contains specific action levels and alternatives for dust control, 61B dispenses with the topic by stating simply that "dust shall be removed concurrently with operations."[19] This language has been known to provoke a good laugh from Agricultural Dusts committee members pressed to explain what it really means.
Whatever it means, the provision is not enforceable. OSHA learned that when it tried to use 61B in support of citations issued after the 1977 explosions. The commission that reviews OSHA citations was unwilling to rely on such an ambiguous provisions.[20] In actuality, the housekeeping provision is not a "requirement" at all. It is more of a gentlemen's agreement to recognize the problem but leave its solution entirely to the individual operator. "I think that you have to consider that people are going to be reasonable and rational about applying this," explained a Continental Grain representative at an OSHA hearing.[21]
Whether a more specific requirement would be desirable is the subject of considerable controversy. Leaving that question aside for the moment, the lack of specificity of the housekeeping requirement in 61B is not adequately justified by the reasons most commonly offered in its defense. "If someone can tell us how to be more specific and be scientifically logical" in establishing dust-control requirements, explains an Agricultural Dusts committee member from a major grain company, "we would buy it." Indeed, there is no way to do so—short of banning grain dust—if "scientific logic" demands total safety. Research sponsored by the NGFA indicates that a dust layer as thin as one-hundredth of an inch can propagate an explosion. The NGFA has been accused by its detractors of conducting this research precisely to bolster the "scientific" argument against any standard. But there rarely is a strong
scientific basis for resolving complex problems involving the trade-off between cost and safety. If this call for greater scientific certainty applied equally to all standards-setting, it would largely paralyze the effort. There are too many variables interacting and changing over time to expect anything resembling scientific certainty for each one.
Guesses, commonsense judgments, and just plain arbitrary numbers adorn public and private standards alike. They have to. NFPA 61B is no exception. The requirement that grain driers be cleaned every 168 hours, for example, is not scientifically logical. As it turns out, 168 was chosen because that is how many hours there are in a week—a measure no more scientific than Continental Grain's policy of cleaning them every 48 hours.[22] Limiting the temperature of hot pipes to 160° F, prohibiting more than 25 percent of a roof from being plastic panel, and suggesting that motor-driven equipment be cleaned at one-hour intervals during operations are further examples of provisions in 61B that are equally susceptible to the charge of scientific infirmity.[23] In each case, the number is an admittedly arbitrary one, based on the consensus of committee members as to what constitutes a reasonable requirement.
In fact, scientific uncertainty did not prevent Continental Grain or the Factory Mutual Corporation from incorporating an "action level" of one-eight of an inch of layered dust into their own in-house standards for housekeeping.[24] So why does the NFPA Agricultural Dusts committee demand more of science? One possible reason is that the dust-control problem is more complicated than most issues. Hot pipes present similar hazards under a variety of circumstances; grain dust does not. Dust hazards depend, to some degree, on virtually every aspect of a grain-handling facility, including the product it handles, its sales and operation patterns, the general layout and date of design, and the effectiveness of existing dust-control equipment. In short, some facilities have much less need or ability than others to conduct housekeeping. The image of the "small country elevator"—a mom-and-pop operation with no hired hands, but a line of anxious farmers waiting to unload their grain before it starts raining—is often evoked in this line of argument. Some country elevators have little need for dust control because they have low throughput and no enclosed bucket elevators. Others, it is argued, lack the resources to purchase dust collection systems or hire additional labor. The appropriate action level, if there is such a thing, varies significantly by facility, and the small ones should, the argument continues, be spared the regulatory rod entirely.
This position on dust control contradicts the position taken else-
where in 61B. The Agricultural Dusts committee has gone on record several times against the notion that differences in facilities render a general standard inappropriate. Separate NFPA standards for country elevators were combined with those for other grain-handling facilities in 1973, when the committee decided that "a distinction between types of grain elevators on the basis of capacity or shipping or receiving media is no longer practical."[25] Similarly, a committee member argued in July 1985 that motion switches should not be mandated on all bucket elevator legs because some country elevators "do not realistically need them." The committee rejected the argument on the grounds that motion switches were generally a good idea and it would be impossible to identify in a standard those situations in which they are not necessary.[26] The same could be said about dust-control requirements. "Facilities vary," notes a former USDA investigator, "but the hazard scenarios are the same."

Terry: I did not vote for President Obama.
As I understand his recommendations for limited gun control, and the operative word is "limited" since it does not impair the right of citizens to own rifles, of various calibers of which there are tens of millions, shotguns of which there are tens of millions, and hand guns of which there are tens of millions.
What it does address is when does a particular firearm become a societal menace and conflict with other constitutional rights.
This raises several questions, most cogently, the usage of the firearm which is a relatively new introduction in the repertoire.
Is it a societal menace when its most notorious usage was an attack with mass killings of children in every institution of our education system from a university, a high school, and a grade school?
Is it a menace to society when a representative of the people
conducts an open forum, to address constituents peacefully assembled, is gunned down along with several citizens peacefully assembled.Is it a societal menace when citizens attending an entertainment venue, such as a movie theater, exercising their constitution right to the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness, are gunned down?
Do parents, in the context of the "security of a free state" feel more secure sending their children to schools and are they more sanguine at the prospect of armed guards, and or armed teachers, a suggestion which would have invited incredulity as recently as 20 years ago?
Have assault weapons demonstrated any utility not already provided by available arms. Are there any credible reports that an armed assailant was more effectively dispatched by a 40 round capacity weapon that could not have been accomplished with a hand gun.
I believe the answers are "no" and this particular firearm should be banned.
Well said!

"tub drain blocked"
Bath tub did not drain, had to take 2 showers with water past my ankles. would not allow for a late checkout even thought there were only 4 cars in the whole parking lot. i was only asking for an extra half hour. this was a low budget motel and i knew that going in, room was below average but appeared clean so expectations met. but drain being clogged […] was inexcusable and i SERIOUSLY doubt it was something they didn't know about in advance of booking the room anyway. i didn't complain at the time becuase i didn't have time to fool with them and / or switch rooms.

"Stay away if possible"
This Days Inn is more of a motel or truck stop than a hotel. First of all, its location is in an area that looks unsavory. There are cigarette butts and bubble gum marks all over the concrete on the stairs and upstairs. Instead of cleaning the rooms, it seems they feel strong perfume does as good. No. The pictures on the web are not actual furniture […] in the lobby. The lobby looked like a diner when I checked in. During the one night stay, someone tried the door three times in the middle of the night. And above all that the manager has a no refund policy and felt nothing wrong with keeping my prepayment money for the 3 nights I did not use the room for. (I only stayed one night). Aiken is a great city but this place could ruin someone's first impression of it. Please stay away or if not at least I've done the right thing by letting expedia users know my own experience.
