text: On May 24, 2005, approximately 1400 central daylight time, a tail wheel-equipped Air Tractor AT-402A agricultural airplane, N198AS, was substantially damaged when it impacted terrain during take off from a private airstrip near Cherry Valley, Arkansas. The commercial pilot, who was the sole occupant of the airplane, was not injured. The airplane was registered to and operated by a private individual doing business as Runsick Flying Service, Wynne, Arkansas. No flight plan was filed for the local flight that was originating at the time of the accident. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the aerial application flight conducted under 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 137.The 1,931-hour pilot stated that he departed on his twenty-first flight of the day from the 2,200-foot-long and 70-foot-wide grass runway with a 22 knot tailwind. The airplane was loaded with less fuel and the same amount of fertilizer as the previous twenty flights, but the wind velocity had steadily increased throughout the day. The pilot said the airplane became airborne approximately 1,800 to 1,900 feet down the runway, but stayed in ground effect and subsequently struck two levees before it crossed a gravel road and impacted a ditch. The airplane eventually came to rest in a bean field. He said, "The tailwind and the load probably caused the airplane not to climb." The pilot also said that he did not calculate any take off performance data prior to departure.Examination of the airplane by the pilot revealed that the main landing gear was separated from the fuselage, and the empennage aft of the cockpit sustained substantial damage. The left and right ailerons and flaps were also damaged. The pilot reported that due to 100-foot-tall trees located at the north end of the runway, most departures were made to the south. A windsock was located southwest of the airstrip on top of a 30-foot tall grain bin. He said the weather conditions at the time of the accident were winds variable between 360 and 020 degrees gusting to 22 knots, and a temperature of 85 degrees Fahrenheit.

There is some sense that when we talk about the period leading up to the New Deal and beyond, that we are talking about progressives in the North making a tragic, yet necessary, bargain with white racists conservatives in the South. In fact what Ira Katznelson shows in Fear Itself is something a little more complicated. The white supremacists in his book are, indeed, for the most part, Southern. But they also are very much married to to the prospect of progressive liberal reform. It may break our brains a bit to imagine, say, a Southern white supremacist backing railroad unions. But that's actual history.
...it is practically impossible, without great loss of life, especially at the present time, to prevent lynching of Negro rapists when the crime is committed against the white women of the South."
...strictly a white man's country, with a white man's civilization, and any dream on the part of the Negro Race to share social and political equality will be shattered in the end.
You know folks, I run Washington. I'm mayor there...Some niggers came to see me one time in Washington to try to get the right to vote there. The leader was a smart nigger. Of course he was half white. I told him that the nigger would never vote in Washington. Hell, if we give 'em the right to vote up there, half the niggers in the South will move into Washington and we'll have a black Government. No Southerner would sit in Congress under those conditions.
Theodore Bilbo worked to block funding for Howard University, tried to initiate a "Back to Africa" campaign for colonizing black citizens, attempted to segregate the national parks, dismissed multiracial children as "a motley melee of misceginated mongrels," attempted to ban interracial marriage in Washington, D.C., and raged against antilynching legislation that would compel "Southern girls to use the stools and toilets of damn syphilitic women." And he did this as a progressive.

text: In April of 2013, I was given one month by the Cleveland West Art League to do a large format drawing directly on the wall of their gallery in the 78th Street Studios. Without using any reference photos, I worked from my journals and sketchbooks from 2012, attempting to create an image that would convey a year of experiences. While inventing forms, tiny vignettes, and manifestations of my anxieties, I found that rather than documenting my memories, I was fabricating them. By the end of the residency, I was unable to distinguish fact from fiction. Because I chose to draw directly on the wall, the work was destroyed directly after the exhibition. The significance of this performance still evades me.

Restoring Apps and App folder layouts
Ask iLounge offers readers the opportunity to get answers to their iPod-, iPhone-, iPad-, iTunes-, or Apple TV-related questions from a member of the iLounge editorial team. We'll answer several questions here each week, and of course, you can always get help with more immediate concerns from the iLounge Discussion Forums. Submit your questions for consideration using our Ask iLounge Submit Form. We reserve the right to edit questions for grammar, spelling, and length.
Q: Thank you to your team for making so many cryptic situations clear. In Syncing iOS apps with a different computer you helpfully explained that you can preserve app data when you sync apps with a new computer as long as on the first sync you choose to sync all apps currently on your device that you wish to preserve data for.
If you sync every app currently on the iOS device will app folder arrangement also be preserved? Where is the folder app arrangement data stored? Only on the device or also in the library?
Also, when you restore from backup to an iOS device which backups can be used? Can iPod touch backups be used to restore onto an iPhone? Do the operating systems and models have to match? Or can earlier operating system backups be used? What about later ones?
- Philip
A: The arrangement of your app icons and folders on your iOS device is stored on the device and also forms part of the backups made of your device made by iTunes or to iCloud. If you connect your iOS device to another iTunes library, you should see the app and folder arrangement displayed on the Apps screen in your iTunes Device settings even without the "Sync Apps" option selected.
If you ensure that every app currently on the iOS device is selected for synchronization, the app arrangement and folder layout is preserved as well. In fact, this arrangement will actually be preserved as much as possible regardless of whether you choose to resync all of your applications or not; built-in apps and those that you do choose to sync will remain on their assigned screens and in their assigned folders, with each screen and folder being rearranged to fill in the gaps.
Restoring a device from an iTunes or iCloud backup will also restore the arrangement of your applications in much the same manner. Note that this is the only way to automatically transfer an app layout to another iOS device.
In terms of restoring backups, the rule of thumb is that you can restore any iOS device backup to any other iOS device as long as the backup is being restored to an iOS version that is the same as, or newer than the version from which the backup was made. This means that you can restore an iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1 backup to an iPhone 5 running iOS 6, but you cannot restore an iOS 6 backup to a device running iOS 5.1.
Other than iOS versions, however, there are no inter-device restrictions; an iPod touch backup can be restored to an iPad, an iPad backup can be restored to an iPhone, or any other combination you can think of, so long as the target device is running the same or newer iOS version. Keep in mind, however, that certain options will be precluded simply by iOS version limitations; you cannot restore an iPhone 5 backup to an iPhone 3G or first-generation iPad, for example, simply because those older devices are incapable of running iOS 6.

Your layout is lost when resyncing but there is a way to cheat itunes. You click sync Apps and hit apply and the slide the unlock bar immediately when your iphone shows sync in progress. Then cancel the sync, quit itunes and restart it. You will see itunes icon layout is same as your iphone layout.
This answer was given on the apple forum and they have deleted it twice already so they do not want you to be able to fix this and this just makes me want to never get another iphone again if that is the atitude of apple. Shame on them!

I'm going through the laborious process of reinstalling all my apps from the store, as iTunes deleted all the local copies.
I've noticed that not all my purchased apps are listed under Purchased. Notably missing are Facebook (although FB messenger & FB Pages apps are there, DropBox, Skype, CamScanner), and of course VLC which is no longer available through the store is completely gone. Thanks Apple!

Know what today is? It's two years from the time when Jaws 19 is supposed to hit cinema screens around the country. If that doesn't happen (and, looking at IMDB, we're not that hopeful), at least we can ride a hoverboard, the way that Marty McFly does in the classic sequel.
Or, well, maybe not really. But, you can ride a skateboard that looks like said hoverboard. And it's electric with a top speed of 18 miles per hour, a range of 20 miles and it takes around six hours to recharge.
The board is being offered by ZBoard and it's just a reskinned version of the company's San Francisco Special. The pretty paint job is part of an IndieGoGo campaign that starts, well, today, and will have a number of rewards. The main item(s), though, is the actual electric skateboard, which costs $1,500 and is limited to 25 copies. Profits from the campaign will go to the Michael J. Fox foundation for Parkinson's Research and you can purchase the "hoverboard" here. There's a video showcasing the hoverboard* below, but note this minor NSFW warning.

Steam Tags… Not So Bad Really… February 14, 2014Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in entertainment.
Tags: Friday Blog Wars, Steam, Valve
10 comments
So the big brouhaha of the week seems to be the tag system introduce by Valve that allows players to tag games listed in Steam with whatever the hell they want.
Queue typical human behavior. Trolling. Bad attempts at humor. Injections of obsessive behavior.
But after reading several posts that pretty much convinced me that the world was going to spontaneously combust due to the absolute horror of this feature and the uses to which it was being put, I actually went and looked at the store pages for all of the games in my library.
And the results were not all that bad.
The key here is that Steam, by default, only shows you a few of the most popular tags… usually 3 to 5 depending on how long they are… and as far as I can see, the most accurate tags are bubbling up to fill that position. So, for example, SimCity 4 seems to be quite accurate when it comes to tags.
Yes, if you click on the little plus sign, you can see all of the tags people have added. But even those are mostly accurate. A couple editorialize… "last good one" is on the list… but I am not sure editorials are off limits or should be. And all the games in my library look to be about on par. Do I care that "one more turn" is one of the tags displayed for Civilization V? That is clearly an editorial, but seems totally appropriate to me.
Sure, some games seem to suffer from users being allowed to apply tags. I wouldn't be very happy if I was a developer on Call of Duty: Ghost.
But I would probably be even less happy that Steam also displays the Metacritic score.
In a world where big studio titles tend to be rated on a 70-100 scale, getting a 68 is already failing.
And for those who are concerned that these aren't the tags they are looking for, I would point out that Steam has had genre tags for ages now.
So, if you already have that sort of thing in place, it seems like some editorializing might be appropriate in the user defined tags, which are marked as user defined tags.
Meanwhile, it would appear that Valve went through and cleaned out some of the more egregious and off topic tags that were polluting the system. Holocaust denial is no longer a thing in user defined tags as far as I can tell. Prison Architect is no longer tagged with "Not-a-rape Simulator."
So it appears to me that Valve has decided to devote some resources to policing the tags, which seems reasonable.
I can see how the game studios are still mad about this. It allows people to say negative things about their games! Oh no!
Color me somewhat unconcerned on that front.
So worst idea ever? Not really. Crowd sourcing from idiots? On the whole, no. Whatever Tobold's point was… as I mentioned above, Valve already had tags… handled… I think. That Tumblr site devoted to bad Steam tags? Taken down. The world? Continues to turn.
Addendum: And I forgot to mention, if you're really worked up about a tag, you can report it.
Crowd sourcing goes both ways here it seems.

He manages to complain about the use of loaded terms… he doesn't like the word "scheme" for example… while raining down a torrent of abuse littered with similarly loaded terms… pot, I'd like to introduce you to the kettle. His basic conclusion is that the current player base is the root problem.

There was a cartoon that ran in the New Yorker years ago. I wish I could find it.
The cartoon featured a man dressed up in a clown suit on a television studio set. He was on a fully dressed sound stage with back drops. There was a large studio audience. Cameras were pointed at him. Studio technicians were off on the side. A boom mic hung above him. Everything was in its place.
And on the cue card was the phrase "TELL A FUNNY JOKE."
That seems to be what Tobold is up to today. He is kvetching that game studios with revenue goals and investors and expectations and all the baggage of big business aren't reading his cue card, which simply says, "INNOVATE."
Well, that and the idea that the past is bad, which is why it is in the past. Only fools put on rose colored glasses and bask in nostalgia or some rubbish.
So he doesn't just want a funny joke, but he wants it to be a new joke as well.
But there are no new jokes. There are only new contexts in which to tell them.
In entertainment, as in jokes, remakes, reboots, re-imagining, and telling the same damn story in a slightly different way is what sustains us. Using old material was old hat when Shakespeare (or whoever) was cribbing his plots from the Greeks.
And the more familiar the story, the more of our dollar votes go towards it. Avatar is where the money is, not Primer. Or, if you want the "higher" arts, the music of Mozart or Beethoven get more performances and sell more albums than that of Rachmaninoff or Prokofiev.
The problem is that we're not used to this being the case when it comes to video games. The video games industry is pretty young. It hasn't just been a business in living memory, it became a business in my lifetime.
It went from a cottage industry of single person or very small development teams, when what ever they produced seemed new (though they borrowed heavily) because we had never seen such a thing on a computer before… or in some cases, even a computer… to the big business it is today in something like 40 years.
We are just reaching the point where remakes have become the norm.
Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
I have my doubts that something like Wasteland 2 can deliver on its promise. A lot of what made the original great was in the context of the time and the limitations of the hardware. But it could still be a decent game. On the other hand, I am quite happy that somebody is going to fix up Age of Empires II and bring a great game into the 21st century.
And it also doesn't mean that there is no innovation. There are plenty of developers trying to tell stories or create situations in new contexts that challenge and amuse us. They just so rarely show up from big studios that looking for them there seems to be the real fools errand. Games like Journey or Katamari Damancy will always be the exception on that front.
It is the so-called independent game studios that will likely foster any innovation we see.
If you are complaining about no innovation and ignoring them, then you didn't really want any innovation in the first place I guess. Heaven forbid you get off your ass and go find something new.
Addendum: And then later Tobold said we need to pay more for niche titles. So I guess I win.
EverQuest: More Popular at Launch than WoW is Today… February 15, 2013Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in entertainment, EverQuest, Humor, World of Warcraft.

But only if you use the Bizarro metrics.
For example, on Planet Tobold, it ISN'T how many who play your game that matters, but how many people DIDN'T play you game.
Taken to logical extremes, there are more than 7 billion people today who do NOT play World of Warcraft today.
However, back in 1999, when the first player logged into EverQuest, there were only 6 billion people not playing it!
A clear victory for SOE, putting it a whole billion "non-players" ahead of Blizzard!
But wait. Back in 1987 when Air Warrior was finally rolling, it only had 5 billion people not playing it!
Who is the most successful online game now, bitches?
Meanwhile, SpaceWar, running way back in 1961 had a mere 3 billion people not playing it!
A clear victory in the unpopularity race!
And yes, I am stretching Tobold-logic to humorous extremes on purpose. But even trying to work the negative player numbers in a serious manner… potential player populations, target populations, subscription rates, and what not… seems like building a castle in a swamp.
Of course, so does trying to measure how many people remember a game. I suspect there are games out there that more people remember than actually played them. But how do you even begin to measure that and, more importantly, how does that equated to success?
Being remembered certainly doesn't pay the bills.
Nor does historical significance which, by definition, is an assessment of something that happened far enough in the past that it has ceased to be contemporary and actual becomes history. Real history, in the serious academic studies sense, only starts when those who were there to witness it… and thus have invested opinions about it… pass on and things that had to be held secret to protect governments and individuals alike are released to the public.
Which is to say that neither I nor Tobold can really make anything besides guesses now about how the future may view this era when it comes to MMOs and the like.
But when you've soured on a genre to the point that your agenda seems to be deny that any MMO with numbers south of 250K can possibly be a success merely because WoW exists and heap scorn on anybody who wants something different, I guess you have to take whatever crazy ammunition you can find.
I am certainly not saying WoW isn't a success. It is certainly what keeps Activision-Blizzard funded for the three quarters each year when they don't ship a new Call of Duty game. But success is not an absolute bar, now set so high by WoW that nobody can ever succeed again. Mark Jacobs' Camelot Unchained plans are not an automatic failure merely because he is targeting a small audience. It is an experiment. It has risks. It has to live in the current MMO ecosystem.
But that alone doesn't mean it won't work.
Of course, even Mr. Jacobs isn't above pulling out a silly metric himself now and again.
Tobold Prediction – CCP Bankrupt in 2012 October 21, 2011Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in entertainment, EVE Online.

Hey, it is Friday and Tobold has made a prediction for the 2012 MMO market over in the comment thread over at Hardcore Casual:
I am quite willing to bet you that CCP goes bankrupt in 2012. You might want to interpret their "great success" how ever you like, but financial reports don't lie.
Yes, there was the whole Incarna debacle and the recent layoffs that brought with them a return to focus on EVE Online at the expense of the planned World of Darkness MMO. But it is a long jump from there to bankruptcy. Or is it?
Tobold elaborates further with his thoughts on the subject here, while SynCaine has his own view.
What do you think will happen to CCP in 2012?
I enabled the "other" field if you have a different vision of the future. And, of course, feel free to justify your point of view in the comment thread for this post.

They probably aren't ninjas, but they were dressed like it. The Pueblo Sheriff's Office is looking for three people in two burglaries that happened in eastern Pueblo County on Thursday morning.
In both cases windows were knocked out and only cigarettes and lighters were taken. The first happened around 12:30 at a Loaf N Jug at 36031 Highway 50 East. The second happened just after 3 a.m. at 108 Baxter at an Acorn Store.
The Pueblo County Sheriff's Office is asking for the community's help in finding these men. If anyone has any information about this crime, they are asked to contact the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office (719)583-6250 or Crime Stoppers (719)542-STOP.

Help please - new install and can't get past BSoD
I'm new to this forum, new to windows 7 and new to the BSoD.
I don't know much about any of this but I am learning fast!
Quick rundown - tried to install windows 7 32bit on a newly built system. No previous windows - professional build of system.
Windows 7 install ok but for some reason or another I always encounter a BSoD pretty soon after install. I have tried downloading catalyst 9.11 - BSoD soon after. Have tried installing catalyst 9.11 as per torrentg's thread (sorry for not adding the link).
Have tried using windows recommended drivers
Have tried installing with recommended updates - have tried installing without recommended updates.
I have been reading heaps the past 5 days but can't determine why my computer is not running properly.
Basically, pretty much after install and updating graphics drivers, I get a restart which states that an error occured during shutdown and I have the option to restart in various safe modes or restart windows normally. Restarting windows normally NEVER works and if I let it go, it will stay on a continual restart cycle.
I have tried to repair through the install CD - windows can't detect a problem.
I have done numerous clean installs with various methods - the best I have got is a good 3 hours of computer time with no bluescreen.
I am at the end of my rope and have no idea what to do from here.
I am hoping I have attached the latest two dump files correctly (I followed the tute on here that is how much of a novice I am!)
Thanks if you have got this far...
Nina-Jay (a very frustrated lady)
|My System Specs
|04 Dec 2009
Hi. Let's see if we can rid some of that frustration for ya, heh?
This needs to be updated for the audio driver:
RtHDMIV RtHDMIV.sys Thu Dec 25 04:30:18 2008
amongst a few other things.
What you can do is to download all the drivers you see on this page and install them. You can skip the bottom SATA ones. Just install audio, chipset and lan. Should be fine after, but if not, post another crash dump as before.
|My System Specs
|04 Dec 2009
Thanks so much for your quick response (I was hoping you would answer as I have seen many of your posts on here where you have resolved issues )
Before I go and do that would you suggest I do a clean install? (I am currently in safe mode as windows wont start normally)
If I do a clean install what order should I install all the drivers? Does it matter?
I have found the problem of catalyst not installing properly when I have tried it but installing the driver only seems to work fine.
Sorry if I sound like a twit, I just want to get it right this time around so thinking I should start with a clean slate and get everything in the right order
|My System Specs
|04 Dec 2009
No need for a clean install...yet at least.
Boot to safe mode + networking. Download the audio driver and run it. It will probably extract a folder somewhere on the pc. Close the installer after this happens and don't let it continue.
Go to device manager and right click on the audio device for your computer (Realtek Azalea HD or similar.)
Update driver software. Browse my computer. Let me pick. Have disk. Browse. Now navigate to the folder you extracted and double click on the .inf inside. Hit ok. Hit next. Let it install.
When done, reboot to normal mode desktop and re-install the driver in the normal method simply by running the original downloaded file and letting it complete.
If everything is going well, install the other drivers too and then reboot.
Let me know how far you get with this or how it's going.
|My System Specs
|05 Dec 2009
Ok, no .inf file... only .inx .isn .ibt or.iss
Please stay with me here Torrentg... I can tell you're rolling your eyes at me LOL
|My System Specs
|05 Dec 2009
Luckily, I anticipated this and downloaded the driver myself to see already.
Try with the HDARt.inf file inside Realtek\WDM folder. Or if that doesn't want to install using the method I said, try others in that folder until it does. Then boot to normal and install normal, no device manager.
|My System Specs
|05 Dec 2009
So far so good!
I am not holding my breathe (have been holding it for days everytime it 'looks' like the issue has been resolved) but this time really looks like it has been fixed!
I'll keep you updated if I encounter any problems.
Thank you so much for your help! I'll make sure I change this to resolved if nothing bad happens in the next couple of hours.
|My System Specs
|05 Dec 2009
But like I said, now that you're in normal mode, reinstall the audio driver in the normal way without the device manager.
And also install the others I said as well.
Enjoy and continued good luck!
|My System Specs
|05 Dec 2009
ok, installed everything you suggested. Did a few successful restarts - decided to turn on windows updates and CRAAAASSSSHHHH when restarting after updates.
Latest 2 dump files
|My System Specs
|05 Dec 2009
About to restore to point prior to windows updates and I'll hang here to see what else you have to say I feel like I am getting there though

Last night I hooked up with Wil and Mauro. They think I'm stalking them around South America (that's them in this awful photograph). I'm not. Honest. I just happen to be going to the same places they are. I'm not the only one either.
I first met them in Peru, then we were in Santiago together although we never met up, and last week I met them in Mendoza. Now, here in the Argentinean capital I met them again last night in a restaurant called 'Puccini' on Calle Chile. It's as authentic as Italian restaurants get and is really off the tourist trail. There are no tourists there (not before this blog anyway), and food is really good.
They have one fun aspect to the meal…as you walk in you're greeted with a table of cold meats, eggs with salads and other things. This is your starter. Once you grab a plate and pick your food you bring it to the counter where the person at a weighing scales who takes your plate off you, covers the part of the scales which show you how much it weighs, puts the plate on to the scales and then asks you how much you think it weighs. Get it right and you don't pay for that helping. Is a nice touch.
The meal was extremely tasty. I'd definitely recommend it. I suppose by saying that I am recommending it. Check it out if you're looking for something completely off the beaten track.

Pirelli aims to reduce pit-stops by Britain
|F. Alonso
|K. Raikkonen
|F. Massa
13 May 2013 – Formula 1 tyre supplier Pirelli is looking to make changes to its tyre compounds before the British Grand Prix, with Motorsport Director Paul Hembery stating that the number of pit-stops at the Circuit de Catalunya reached an undesirable level.
With four pit lane visits transpiring as the winning strategy in Barcelona, Hembery has hinted that tweaks will be made to its tyres over the coming weeks, although he failed to go into detail as to whether all four slick compounds will be overhauled.
"Our aim is to have between two and three stops (per driver) at every race, so it's clear that four is too many: in fact, it's only happened once before, in Turkey during our first year in the sport," Hembery explained after the race. "We'll be looking to make some changes, in time for Silverstone, to make sure that we maintain our target and solve any issues rapidly."
Last weekend's Spanish Grand Prix saw the 22-strong field make a total of 79 stops over the course of 66 laps, with a majority 12 drivers opting to pit on four occasions.

Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars that erupt in the late teens or early twenties — so-called because they come in around the age of maturity or "wisdom." While teeth are designed to last a lifetime, wisdom teeth are often problematic requiring early removal because they frequently become impacted, meaning they are not able to erupt fully through the gums to become healthy functioning teeth. However, not all wisdom teeth need to be removed if they are fully erupted and functional.
Prevention: Having a tooth submerged below the gum, pressing on the roots of neighboring teeth can cause damage and decay even though you may not be feeling any discomfort. By the time the tooth becomes painful, significant damage may already have occurred. In addition, the ability of the body to heal following oral surgery tends to decrease with age. A recent study sponsored by the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons and the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Foundation strongly recommends that wisdom teeth be removed in young adulthood in order to prevent future problems and to ensure optimal healing.
Reasons for Removal: If your wisdom teeth are impacted against (pressing on) the roots of other teeth, damage can occur. To prevent infections, gum disease, decay, or damage to other permanent teeth, our office may recommend removal of your wisdom teeth.
What to Expect: If wisdom teeth removal is recommended, it can generally be done in the dental office as a surgical procedure with local anesthesia and conscious sedation (twilight sleep). After the surgery, you may experience some moderate discomfort and swelling depending on the degree of impaction and difficulty. Taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen, or prescription medication for several days after surgery will provide pain relief and control swelling.
Contact us today to schedule an appointment to discuss any questions you may have regarding removal of your wisdom teeth. Read more about this topic in the Dear Doctor magazine article "Wisdom Teeth: To Be Or Not to Be?"
Dental implants are a fascinating treatment option that can be life changing when used properly. They have also experienced tremendous scientific advancements and press over the years making them highly desirable by people of all walks of life. See how much you really know about dental implants by taking our quick and easy true/false self test.
- Dental implants can produce lifelike results that are indistinguishable from natural surrounding teeth.
True or False
- Many dental professionals consider dental implants as a "third set of teeth," as they can last a lifetime when properly maintained.
True or False
- A dental implant is a safe option that is suitable for all patients regardless of age.
True or False
- When properly placed and maintained, dental implants have a 90% success rate.
True or False
- If you do not have enough bone to support a successful dental implant, there is not much that can be done.
True or False
- When teeth are missing, the face tends to have a sunken-in appearance called, "posterior bite collapse."
True or False
- One of the positives of dental implants is that they do not affect adjacent teeth.
True or False
- Dental implants typically cost significantly more than other options, such as a bridge, over the course of a lifetime.
True or False
- Dental implants are always more desirable than bridgework or other treatment options for missing teeth.
True or False
- Dental implants can lead to improved health due to better nutrition and proper digestion.
True or False
- True. Dental implants can appear as beautiful, natural teeth.
- True. When properly maintained, implants provide the same function as natural teeth roots.
- False. Dental implants are not suitable for replacing primary teeth or permanent teeth in young children or teenagers. They are best used when facial and jaw development is complete.
- False. They have a 95% success rate.
- False. If you do not have enough bone for a dental implant, you may be a candidate for a bone graft — a process in which we "grow" the bone we need for the implant.
- True. This condition is often totally reversible once teeth have been restored through implants or bridgework.
- True. Unlike bridgework, dental implants do not affect surrounding teeth.
- False. They are less expensive in the long run.

Are you are considering a cosmetic procedure such as porcelain veneers? To assist you in making this decision, we developed the following list of questions you should consider asking before getting porcelain veneers.
- Am I a good candidate for porcelain veneers?
- Can you show me examples of your work?
- How much will my veneers cost?
- Will my insurance cover any portion of my procedure?
- Do you offer any financing for my procedure or can you make any recommendations for financing?
- Can you create a computer-generated image or mock-up of what my new smile will look like?
- How will you chose what color to make my veneers?
- How long will it take from my initial consultation until I receive my final, permanent veneers?
- How much tooth reduction (drilling) will you need to do before placing my veneers?
- How do veneers attach to my teeth?
- Can you create a prototype or temporary veneers so that I can "test drive" my new smile before my permanent ones are made?
- What do I need to do to clean and protect my veneers?
- How long can I expect my veneers to last?
- If at some point in the future I decide I want my veneers removed, what can I expect?
We hope that the above questions help you obtain all the answers you need as you consider getting porcelain veneers. If you have other questions, concerns, or if you are ready to take the next step and schedule a consultation, please contact our office.
When it comes to chronic pain, one of the most common problems you can face is Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD), which was formerly known as Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ). TMD is a condition that can be tricky to diagnose because it frequently mimics other conditions. This is why many healthcare professionals refer to it as "the great imposter." However, regardless of what it is called, the pain it causes is real and can become quite severe — especially if left undiagnosed and untreated.
To grasp the condition fully, you must first understand the TMD pain cycle. It can start with any traumatic, psychological, metabolic, or mechanical stimulant that causes spasm in the muscles that move the jaw joints (opening, closing, chewing, and even smiling.) This is because of the constricted blood supply to the muscles resulting in less oxygen along with the accumulation of waste products. This is followed by chemical changes in the muscles and a buildup of lactic acid due to muscle fatigue. Abnormal or involuntary muscle contractions or spasms lead to pain signals to the brain that can stop muscle movement. Depending on the severity, this cycle can repeat itself resulting in acute pain that may be extremely severe at times. The pain may then seem to disappear only to resurface again later. The good news is that our office has highly trained professionals who cannot only diagnose but also treat your TMD.
If you suffer from chronic jaw pain and feel that you might have TMD, please let us know so that we can address your concerns and conduct a thorough history and examination. Or if you are in constant or severe pain, contact us immediately to schedule an appointment. You can learn more about the signs, symptoms, and treatment options for TMD by reading the article "TMD — Understanding The Great Imposter."

Aimbot Mod
Additional Videos:
A powerful and useful Aimbot mod eliminates the guessing involved with weapons trajectory and the mystery behind walled enemies. Aimbot mod is a high-level upgrade which minimizes the effectiveness of enemy plans involving hidden battalions in hideaways and having to reinforce lines of fire due to unknown enemy line strength.
Aimbot Is Only An Expert Tool.
Navigation and authority of the L and keybind options is crucial for this upgrade. Mod weapons experience is crucial before attaining this powerful mod. The key is to change your options menu to support Aimbot functions before actually attaining the mod. Preparation is key in Minecraft, so don't pass an opportunity for a substantially more powerful and influential player function. This mod will only work with an expert knowledge of true and false profile dimensions, so it is considered an expert mod with relatively normal damage and influence capabilities. Still, Aimbot is a useful tool for navigation through dimensions with experimental foes and dimensional gaming shifts.
There are frequent Xenophobe hacks into the Aimbot option which is an indication to its popularity and overall usefulness. This Aimbot mod is primary used in actions with a bow. The accuracy and damage is increased greatly, but only for this tier of weaponry. If your player skill and life can handle expert aiming, then by all means, incorporate this mod into your arsenal. Hindsight says, that the Aimbot mod is not the most efficient, nor aggressively goal-seeking mod to operate with. The Aimbot mod for Minecraft will certainly:
- maximize attacks on less evolved players - notify players on susceptibility from bow weapons - satisfy requirements for dimensional and elite upgrades - aligned weaponry to kill mobs easier and with more damage - zero in on mobs with a simple right click during battle for maximum damage
Aimbot Value Is Underestimated In The World Of MineCraft.
The Aimbot gamer acquisition is always a useful tool because it eliminates user mistakes and always keys on targets valuable for progress. The Aimbot mod, while not "all powerful" is an ideal mod for guaranteeing attack efforts and assaults on lesser groups and mobs of scouts, mobilized infantry and rogue encroachments in sensitive territories.
The Aimbot mod in Minecraft is especially useful against auto-target and success-based targeting programs. This Aimbot mod is universally more flexible than other mods which only target key strategic movements. Aimbot allows a full spectrum targeting of a diverse collection of mob configurations without error and blind action.
How to download & install:
- Go to the Aimbot Mod download page
- Download the file
- Follow Aimbot Mod installation instructions
- Happy Crafting!

Sarah Chayes' op-ed column on free speech and 'clear and present danger.'
View More Images from this story
Visit the Photo Place
WASHINGTON--In one of the most famous First Amendment cases in U.S. history, Schenck v. United States, Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. established that the right to free speech in the United States is not unlimited. "The most stringent protection," he wrote on behalf of a unanimous court, "would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theater and causing a panic."
Holmes' test--that words are not protected if their nature and circumstances create a "clear and present danger" of harm--has since been tightened. But even under the more restrictive current standard, "Innocence of Muslims," the film whose video trailer indirectly led to the death of U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, among others, is not, arguably, free speech protected under the U.S. Constitution and the values it enshrines.
According to initial media investigations, the clip, whose most egregious lines were apparently dubbed in after it was shot, was first posted to YouTube in July by someone with the user name "Sam Bacile." The Associated Press reported tracing a cellphone number given as Bacile's to the address of a Californian of Egyptian Coptic origin named Nakoula Basseley Nakoula. Nakoula has identified himself as coordinating logistics on the production but denies being Bacile.
According to The Wall Street Journal, when the video failed to attract much attention, another Coptic Christian, known for his anti-Islamic activism, sent a link to reporters in the U.S., Egypt, and elsewhere on Sept. 6. His email message promoted a Sept. 11 event by anti-Islamic pastor Terry Jones and included a link to the trailer.
The current standard for restricting speech--or punishing it after it has in fact caused violence--was laid out in the 1969 case Brandenburg v. Ohio. Under the narrower guidelines, only speech that has the intent and the likelihood of inciting imminent violence or lawbreaking can be limited.
Likelihood is the easiest test. In Afghanistan, where I have lived for most of the past decade, frustrations at an abusive government and at the apparent role of international forces in propping it up have been growing for years. But those frustrations are often vented in religious, not political, terms, because religion is a more socially acceptable, and safer, rationale for public outcry.

On Blast
As an admirer of the vice president, it gives me no pleasure to advocate that he resignand the sooner the betterbut for Cheney, a loyal Republican, theres no better final service he can provide his party. Even before the unfortunate hunting accident in Texas on Feb. 11, Cheney was as toxic politically as Newt Gingrich after the former speaker of the House failed to increase the GOP majority in the 1998 midterm elections, the year of Monica Lewinsky.
Cheney faces problems in the run-up to the congressional elections this fall. The mainstream media was shameless in its hounding of the vice president after the hunting mishapthat Cheney stonewalled bigfoot reporters for several days was emotionally satisfying, but in todays highly charged climate politically stupidbut that doesnt alter the perception that hes an old Big Oil grump, not great when consumers are groaning upon opening heating bills.
That Lewis Libby, Cheneys indicted former chief of staff, is going to trial next year for his role in the utterly absurd Valerie Plame scandal provides even more fodder for Democratic candidates this year. The animus toward Cheney is so high-pitched currently that I expect any day for Newsweek or Time to produce a wide-angle photo taken a few years ago at Camden Yards showing the vice president seated seven rows away from disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff, thus proving that Cheney was on the take as well as Tom DeLay and Ralph Reed.
Although the Beltway establishment is atwitter with Cheney resignation scenarios, almost no one thinks that President Bush will ask his valued vice president to walk the plank and step down with a euphemistic explanation that the combination of persistent health problems and anguish over the injury to his friend Harry Whittington has led him, with great sadness, to leave his office prematurely. One of the caricatures of Bush is that, like his father, hes loyal to a faultin a normal setting that would be viewed as an attributeand will carry on with Cheney by his side.
Im not sure thats entirely correct: It was the future president who fired John Sununu, Bush 41s chief of staff, when he became a political liability. In addition, the younger Bush was allegedly in favor of replacing Dan Quayle in the failed 92 campaign.
The difference between the two Bushes is that the younger man is a superb politician on the campaign stumpa fact that Bill Clinton points out with regularity to myopic Democratsand its my guess that Cheneys fate is one of the chief topics at the White House today.
Theres really only one candidate for the job should it become available, and thats Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. While Bush and Karl Rove are maneuvering behind the scenes to help John McCain win the GOP nomination in 08, figuring hes the best bet to defeat the Democratic nominee, theres no advantage in tapping McCain now. The Arizona senator is enjoying himself too much in the Senate and in media scrums to play second fiddle and doesnt need a higher profile. Also, Bush, in an election year, has no desire to alienate potential candidates like George Allen, Mitt Romney, and Sam Brownback by favoring a competitor.
More significantly, not only is Rice a qualified replacement for Cheney (and reportedly doesnt want to run for president herself), but the appointment could help the Republicans enormously both this year and in 2008. Rice would become the highest-ranking black officeholder in American history, as well as the first female vice president. There might be some cultural conservatives grumbling about her somewhat ambiguous stances on abortion and affirmative action, but that would be offset by at least a slight uptick in black and female support for the Bush administration and the Republican Party as a whole. Imagine Rice, free of scandalillusory or otherwisecampaigning with Michael Steele in Maryland this fall.
A number of conservative pundits think the worst is over for Cheney. I dont. It was a Jimmy Carter getting attacked by the giant rabbit moment. Its easy to dismiss extreme partisans like actor/activist Alec Baldwins hysterical rant on the Huffington Post (Feb. 17), in which he said, Cheney is a terrorist. He terrorizes our enemies abroad and innocent citizens here at home indiscriminately. Who ever thought Harry Whittington would be the answer to Americas prayers.
But when the vice president is invoked in sports stories, thats something else. The Boston Globes Gordon Edes, on Feb. 18, in an interview with hunter/relief pitcher Mike Timlin, felt it necessary to add the following: Full disclosure: The only hunting Ive ever done is in a pinball arcade . . . And yeah, Im one of those guys who never got over Bambi.
Is the White House willing to endure this distraction, no matter how trivial, this year? I doubt it.

8 Channel 720p HD-CVI DVR Mini Realtime
Good video picture that is sharp and color correct. Obviously, 720p isn't as finely detailed as 1080p but it isn't as expensive either. For our needs, this is sufficient and works fine. If you are looking for extended detail to see other very small objects I would recommend you consider using 1080p. At any rate, this DVR was easy to install and I really like the idea of being able to use it with my old cable. Recabling this place would be a genuine pain in the butt. The OSD (On Screen Display) menu is fairly easy to navigate, especially if you are familiar with security recorders. I think this is a solid 4 star rater.
8 Channel 720P HD-CVI DVR Mini Realtime

First of all before I talk about this specific machine, let me say that Security Camera King's marketing and design strategy for creating these "Mini" recorders is super. The "Mini" handles the root of the job impeccably, that is security video recording with great resolution and realtime rates, yet cuts out a lot of the extra features or options that you otherwise would pay for and probably never use.
Now, I'll address this DVR in particular. In one word: Impressive. 720p is not as good as 1080p resolution but it is right up there. And to find an 8 Channel DVR that record at that resolution in realtime and still perform all the functions that it does including remote access from the Internet is top dog performance, especially at a price tag of $199.00. The video picture is clear, defined, color correct, and very useful. Also, since this is a mini, I don't have to worry about getting caught in a "spider web" of wires and cables in the back of my machine. That's important to me because my unit sits right on top of my Surround Sound Theater system in my family room. Just a few simple cables and wires and they can be neatly bundled together. If your looking for a recorder that has a process or that can easily handle the simultaneous recording of 8 channels at 720p and realtime rates, this one fits the bill. I would recommend it.

This DVR has amazing picture quality considering the price. Better yet, this recorder does 720p high definition recordings at 30 frames per second and is still cheaper than the 8 channel D1 recorder and I used my original RG59 coaxial cable. Granted the cameras are more expensive but they are definitely worth the enhanced picture quality. Even though this mini can only hold 1 internal hard disk drive you can max that out at 4 TB. It may not be the best choice if you plan to record continuously, but if you use motion detection recording, the on drive can last a long time before it is full. The DVR is easy to operate and has an On Screen Display (OSD) menu system that you use to configure or make adjustments for an array of features on different pages. I think one of the best advancements in video security technology is the ability to remotely access your system via the Internet. I appreciate the fact that Security Camera King makes the apps and software available to users for free to do so. Good product.

This can offer you a cheap upgrade to your existing lower resolution analog transmission system such as a 600 or 700 TVL D1 recording system. Considering that the DVR runs about $400 with a half way decent hard drive installed and the camera cost about $120 each, you can replace your current 8 channel old system with a new high definition system for less than $1400 and you don't have run any new cables! You may want to run some new cables if you want to readjust the camera's view, which you may want tot do because of the higher resolution coverage. My father and I replaced our store's system with this DVR and the cameras on one Sunday without too many difficulties. The only snag to that is that Security Camera King has an excellent technical support team, but they are only available Monday through Friday and not on weekends. That was no big deal for our installation, we went ahead and followed through with completion and called them that Monday with our questions, which I must admit were addressed completely and right away. The 720p resolution is a huge jump up from our old system and we like it. The detail is impressive. The cameras work well and so does the recorder. if you are an amateur installer (a do-it-yourselfer I guess like us) you may find the DVRs instructions a little weak. They list one things do, but they don't really explain things to newbies. If that is an issue, Security Camera King has provided a lot of information on their website and their support staff is good.

Great recorder at a great price. Makes excellent quality video recordings with high resolution (definition) output. User menu is easy to navigate and the price is excellent!

All I can say is Wow! This HD-CVI DVR is affordable enough for me to be able to use high definition security video recording around my home. The 8 channel capacity gives my plenty of room for cameras to give me the complete coverage I need and the price for the cameras and DVR from Security Camera King are the most competitive that I have seen in the market (to be honest, I haven't seen a lot of HD-CVI equipment out yet).
I ordered my equipment on line using my VISA card and received everything within about 4 days. Everything was packaged properly and in perfect condition. No damage during transit. I installed everything myself (except I ordered the 3 TB internal hard drive from Security Camera King and they installed it for me for free). I run all the cameras at 720p resolution and the videos are great. I even used the two way audio for a sort of monitor at the front door. The large internal hard drive actually cost more than the unit itself but it is worth it to have plenty of storage space for the high resolution video footage. I just hope the drive lasts longer than what some of my computer hard drives have in the past. The remote access function using my Galaxy 4 works great. I downloaded the app and the computer software and can actually monitor my system at work on my computer or anywhere using my phone. What more could I ask for?

STATELINE (WIFR) -- Today, the Fun Safe Community Partnership started getting ready for their second annual 700 Celebration. The goal is to bring together Stateliners and local support agencies to try and commit to rebuilding Rockford. Local groups will share their missions and messages with participants. In return, the participants will get a food box from the food bank and toys for the first 700 kids. Sponsors say they also hope to help in a different way.
"We're also going to bring all our resources and information here, so that in case somebody needs an apartment or a job, or something from Rock Valley College, any information they need will be right here at his fingertips," said Coordinator Brandon Russell.
