WHEELING - Chris Daugherty and Russ Hutchins see good things in the future for their Wheeling Park track teams this spring.
Sprints will be a strength of the boys' squad, according to Daugherty. He said Bryce Ingram, Markeith O'Neal, Brandon Porter and Josh Dent will be the leaders there.
The biggest loss Daugherty has to fill is that of high jumper Errin Baynes.
Baynes set many a record during his days as a Patriot and now he's trying to do the same at Southern Cal.
With Baynes hurt the majority of last season, Daugherty said plenty of other jumpers had an opportunity to show their skills.
Geremy Paige, Theo Blackston and Henry Gompers are candidates in the shot and disc, with Chase Bonar on the pole vault.
Austin Farley is pegged for hurdles, with Zach Witsberger set to shine again in 800 and the mile. Cross country standout Albert Schrimp will run the 3,200.
Seniors on the boys' roster for the Patriots are: Jaleel Brown, Maurice Miller, Witsberger, James Daugherty, Bonar, O'Neal, Kaleb Meeks, Matt Lichwa, Dent, Farley, Caleb Hoffer, Johnathan Flight, Brandon Porter, Cody Stanton and Nick Page.
Juniors looking to make an impact include: Gary Hagan, Elijah Ford, Nathan Auber, Jacob McKennan, Kenny Valeus, Josh Angalich, Grant Robertson, JaVaughn Wade, Niko Kefauver, Schrimp, Bryce Ingram, Zach Phillips, Paige, Braeden Carroll, Austin Vance, Alex Baker and Jamie Lapp.
Sophomores on the roster are: Shannon Hosman, Sebastian Tate, Robert McIntosh, Tyler Fleming, Devon Kalo, Henery Gompers, Nick Vargo, John Bugaj and Blackston.
The promising freshman group is comprised of: Chase Adams, Thomas Nagy, Isaiah Miller, Joe Stahl, Jake Pedelose, Alec Dodd, Kieran Hendrickson, Artur Butov, Jordan Horsey, Tim Goldbaugh, Richard Cummings, Will Swisher, Johnathan Skeens, Isaiah Myers, James McCoy, Sean Wagner, Stefan Triveri, Austin Curnes, Zach Nolte, Savion Johnson and Damante Johnson.
Back in the fold for Hutchins are senior letterwinners Samantha Dodd (distance), Elena Romanek (distance), Alexis Ricker (throws) and Ashley Grove (sprints).
Juniors Jazzlynn Hall, Kambria O'Neal and Rakedra Webb will handle sprints/hurdles, while Paige Durkin will compete in the long and high jumps.
Sophomore Cristin Dolan is a pole vaulter, while classmate Nakysha McGhee specializes in sprints
Others looking to make an impact include Amanda Alig, Rosie Brill, Casey Dolan, Elissabeth Parsons, Lauren Dickerson, Bobbie Leigh Fahey, Miriam Flatley, Charli Goodwin, Kylie Rahi, Paige Settle, Hannah Butts, Kyra Creighton, Adrianna Dunn, Kayla Kittle, Haley Norman, Shannon O'Leary, Chloe Robb, Lizzy Sellers, Sydnie Stewart, Rachael Burgaj, Tamara Bumgardner, Makayla Gray, Katie Herrick, Kiera Hess, Jaiehr Jackson-Hawkins, Abbie Lippencott, Julian Marshall, Kayley Miller, Liz Nickell, Amber Parsons, Lydia Russell, Brooke Thomas and Natalie Weithe.
Hutchins said individuals to watch are Grove, a state qualifier last year in the 200 and 400, McGhee in the 100, Durkin in the high jump and Ricker in the discus.

Windows Mobile Gets an IMDB App
- Posted: May 04, 2010 at 6:20AM
- 343 views
IMDB, aka The Internet Movie Database, is now available on Windows Mobile Phones thanks to an independent, 3rd-party developer who posts under the name of Blade0rz on the XDA-Developers forums.
Interestingly enough, he created the app by parsing the iPhone IMDB API for information instead of the IMDB web pages themselves.
Included in this application are the following features:
He also says the app has been designed for touch-friendly interfaces and is screen/orientation independent.
The app requires the .NET framework 3.5 and can be downloaded (for free) from here. (Will require forum sign-in first).

The UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs and the UCLA Institute for Research on Labor and Employment jointly hosted an event on Thursday entitled "Death and Taxes," the purpose of which was to more fully inform California voters, who bear momentous responsibility in determining the state's future.
The forum featured former California Governor Gray Davis and Assembly member Cameron Smyth offering up their perspectives on a range of pivotal issues, including controversial topics such as taxes and the reformation of the death penalty. While presiding over California, Governor Davis made education funding a top priority in addition to significantly investing in infrastructure, innovation and state health care. Assembly member Cameron Smyth, representing the 38th Assembly District, possesses a different vantage point of the issues and at times, offers contrary perspectives on how one should approach the fundamental issues.
The two spent much of the talk focusing on the propositions that could change California.
Prop 30: GOVERNOR'S TAX
Proposition 30 proposes to increase taxes on those that earn over $250,000 for seven years and sales taxes by a quarter cent for four years, as compensation for the state education deficit.
Smyth said he opposes the
proposition due to his distrust of
the ambiguous wording, in terms of how the funds will actually
be distributed. He doubts that it will do anything to
create new revenue for the K-12 school system, instead simply "backfilling the
proposed trigger cuts."
Governor Davis, conversely, supports the proposition. As he states, the "Academic year has already been shortened and tuition will continue to rise" if this proposition is not passed. He emphasizes that California is a knowledge-based economy; the state has more research universities than anyone. To promote California's role as the home of innovation, we need to continue to invest in our universities and the future.
Prop 31: STATE BUDGET
Both parties agree with this proposition, which calls for the establishment of a two-year budget process. It sets rules for offsetting new expenditures and governor budget cuts in fiscal emergencies.
As Smyth explains, "By
putting in [this budget process], local governments are given more stability
and legislators more flexibility." Consequently, residents can spend one year
focused more on fiscal issues, with the next year concentrated on fiscal
Governor Davis concretely agrees: "This proposition makes some common sense changes."
Prop 32: POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS BY PAYROLL
Proposition 32 seeks to stop special interest groups from buying votes, while prohibiting unions and corporations from contributing to politicians. The parties are divided on this one.
Smyth wholeheartedly supports this
proposition, noting that it "frees up
a lot of members that feel they have to vote a certain way because of special
interests that 'squeeze' them." In his eyes, Prop. 32 gives more balance to
legislature than the present situation.
Davis disagrees that this change in balance is appropriate; he notes that it could "weaken labor and strengthen the corporate" by making it difficult for unions to compete.
Prop 33: AUTO INSURANCE
Proposition 33 is one with which both speakers warily disagree. If passed, Prop. 33 would change current law to allow insurance companies to set prices based on whether the driver previously carried auto insurance with any insurance company.
However, the proposition almost seems too good to be true: Both parties oppose it because, according to Smyth, "When you have one person financing this initiative, it becomes suspicious, no matter how good it seems".
Governor Davis recounts his long-standing distrust of insurance companies, exclaiming: "I'm just voting no because I'm suspicious of Insurance company support!"
Prop 34: DEATH PENALTY
Indeed a controversial issue, Proposition 34 seeks to repeal the death penalty and replace it with life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. Notably, it would apply retroactively to existing death sentences.
Davis objects to the retroactive judgment of previous death sentences. He fully believes that these "most heinous people of society" have "had their days in court" and these cases should not be reexamined under such scrutiny. In an emotional appeal, Davis disagrees with reopening the victims' emotional wounds; "[we] should instead offer sympathies and help them move on with their lives."
Cameron Smyth agrees in his opposition of Prop. 34, stating simply that "this is a philosophical issue and [one] must decide for himself."
Prop 35: HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND PENALTIES
Proposition 35, which on the surface seems the most straightforward, asks to increase prison sentences and fines for human trafficking convictions. Additionally, the proposition would require convicted human traffickers to register as sex offenders.
Both parties immediately agreed on supporting the legislation, with Governor Davis even noting that for him, "This is a no brainer."
Prop 36: THREE STRIKES
Another proposition that the parties fundamentally disagree on is Proposition 36; it seeks to revise the law to impose a life sentence only when new felony conviction is serious or violent.
Governor Davis adamantly supports Prop. 36, noting that, "It will reduce prison overcrowding, save millions of dollars and reduce burden on government."
However, Smyth is rightfully concerned with a few technicalities, stating that the "definition of 'serious' and 'violent' is nebulous." Additionally, he worries that a suspect's "first two crimes may not be [rightfully] taken into account."
Prop 37: GENETICALLY
Proposition 37 requires labeling of food sold to consumers made from plants or animals with genetic material changed in specified ways.
While Cameron Smyth opposes this proposition due to its arbitrary and illogical nature – in reference to which items come under scrutiny – Governor Davis again states that this one is for him a "No brainer." Davis fervently believes that "We have the right to know what's in our food."
Prop 38: TAX TO FUND EDUCATION AND EARLY
Proposition 38 is simple: It would increase taxes on earnings across the board, using a sliding scale and would be effective over 12 years. Although, according to a promotional video shown, it would allegedly send billions of education dollars to schools while preventing interference from politicians, both Smyth and Davis oppose Prop. 38.
Smyth simply believes that "Raising taxes across the board will not solve the board," as he strives for another approach.
Davis noted that Prop. 38 would raise taxes on those of the middle class, while benefiting the wealthy.
Prop 39: TAX TREATMENT FOR MULTISTATE BUSINESSES
A proposition that both parties solidly support is Proposition 39. It would require multistate businesses to pay income taxes based on percentage of their sales in California, effectively "closing the tax loophole," in the words of Smyth.
Both parties point to the fact that out of state companies assume a tax advantage over California companies, noting the necessity of this policy. However, Smyth and Davis also carefully acknowledge that at least half of the generated revenue "must be used to support green jobs."
Prop 40: REFERENDUM ON
As Davis put it, "Just vote 'Yes' to this one" as it is a referendum. Its approval would allow State Senate districts to be drawn by the Citizens Redistricting Commission.

McGrath's Olympic record held up for 24 years. In 1920, McGrath tried to defend his title, but injured his knee and had to withdraw after his second throw. He still managed to finish fifth. In 1924, McGrath returned to the Olympic Games and earned the silver medal…at the age of 45.

India is just nine days away from reaching a milestone that will officially certify the country as "polio-free", said Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad on Saturday while addressing a large contingent of NRI doctors and physicians in Ahmedabad.
"When I took over as the health minister in 2009, India had 50 percent of the polio burden of the world. Today were are just nine days away from having an India that has been polio-free for three years," said Azad while addressing the valedictory session of a global healthcare summit organised by American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI).
The minister emphasised the importance of this milestone by saying that these three crucial years with zero polio cases being reported will help India get an official tag of being "polio-free" from the World Health Organisation (WHO). The last case of polio was reported from West Bengal in January 2011.
"This will be one of the greatest thing to have happened in this country," said Azad who described his four-and-half-year-old tenure as the Union health minister as the "most satisfying" in his three-decade-old political career.
The minister said that it took 2.3 million volunteers and 150 thousand supervisors to administer polio drops to 170 million children at "one-go" in the country. "This exercise was a huge one," he added.
Azad who listed out his ministry's various achievements, also said that he would be launching the Urban Health Mission in Bangalore on January 20. Union Minister for Overseas Indian Affairs, Vayalar Ravi was also present during the valedictory session fo AAPI that saw about 350 NRI doctors, a majority of whom are from the US, attend. The summit also saw 700 physicians from India participate.

Well Nick your opinion is noted however if the bike Gardener said was the best was a dog, think how good the new one is if you are to be believed, old Wayne knows a thing or two.
As for the Motogp bike and Suter that was only for 2006 or 2007, cant remember but I was talking to Ian Wheeler about it not long ago asking which was best and why was Suter dropped, what Hopkins finished on and even the Hayate was pure Kwack. Look at the pictures on Google and the only real difference is the extended nose, it even has the heavy swing arm and we all know about WSB swing arm and forks.
Kwack were the second biggest spenders in WSB last year and probably leading this year, rumours of them returning to Motogp providing engines for Forward, personaly I think they should stick to WSB, GP does not need them and never has, even with 17 bikes.

GDC 2012 Hands-On: A Game of Dwarves - PreviewNick Pantazis, posted on 15 March 2012 / 3,046 Views
If you're like me, you probably play a pretty wide variety of games. If you're really like me, you probably get pretty addicted to time management games. Since the early days of PC gaming, time management games have been a big part of the platform. If you haven't played this type of game in the past, the strategy comes in by managing resources and expansion while seeking to constantly advance further. Unfortunately in recent years it has fallen off to some extent.
A Game of Dwarves is a game made to fit perfectly in this genre. Dwarves, of course, are digging creatures, and your main goal will be to expand down and out. As you dig you'll uncover new resources and rooms with enemies, and you'll use those resources to assemble new items and equipment. The deeper you go, the better the resources and the stronger the monsters. Think minecraft but with lots of little creatures and an economy to manage.
The dwarves themselves can be one of four classes. You'll have workers who manage equipment, diggers who dig, craftsmen who build, and soldiers who protect your other dwarves from attacks. As each type of dwarf levels up, you can change them into advanced specialty classes, which will offer unique advantages. For example, the warriors can be specialized into massively defensive shielded soldiers or offensive ranged-musketmen. Technology will advance with your dwarves, allowing for more modern weapons and equipment.
You will dig through the Earth in various levels of depth as you expand. The isometric map system lets you view individual depths, and the camera is freely rotatable to allow you to get a variety of viewing angles. Of course, as with all games of this type, you don't directly control the dwarves, but rather give orders and wait for the dwarves to carry them out. Time can be sped up to avoid waiting for your dwarves to complete the desired tasks.
It's easy to enjoy A Game of Dwarves, and it seems to be coming along well. There are some moderately confusing interface designs, but I was reassured that these will be ironed out and are a product of early development. I also had some mild issues with camera control, but I had only played for about 15 minutes and hadn't quite gotten the hang of it yet. Strategy and managemenet enthusiasts can look forward to A Game of Dwarves later this year.

Usually the proxy will go to your allocated Polling Station to cast your vote for you in person, but they can apply to receive your vote through the post for them to complete if this is preferred (as long as they apply for this by the relevant deadline for each election). In either case, you need to inform them which candidate(s) you want to vote for in each election so they can mark your vote for you in accordance with your wishes.
Applying to vote by proxy as a one-off arrangement for a specific election date is available to all individually registered electors, providing there is a valid reason. We can also register you for proxy voting valid for a three-year period (subject to legal requirements) if:
- You regularly work away
- You are a student studying away from home
- You find it physically difficult to attend the polling station
In order to obtain a proxy vote for a three-year period for one of these reasons, you will need to complete a specific application form, which can be requested from our office. The application requires a signature from a qualified professional who can confirm that the reason given is true and accurate.
People choose to vote by proxy as it is a flexible absent vote arrangement. This is because if you are unable to get to your Polling Station on Polling Day then your proxy can attend and cast your vote for you as per your instructions. However if you do happen to be able to attend at your Polling Station on Polling Day then you can go and vote in person, so long as your proxy has not already been on your behalf.
(NB If the proxy has applied to receive the elector's vote through the post then neither the proxy nor the elector can vote at the Polling Station).
How to apply
To appoint someone to cast your vote on your behalf you must complete an application form. The Elections Team can post an application form to your registered address, please call the team on (01502) 523238 to request a form or email the Electoral Services Team. You can also download a form, which you need to print off, fill in by hand and then return to the Elections Office.
You can apply to vote by proxy throughout the year but an application must be received by 5pm, six working days before an election in order for it to be valid for that election. For any changes to your absent vote arrangements you must allow enough time for an application to be completed by you and returned before the deadline - we cannot process any applications received after the deadline. If you already have a postal vote arrangement in place and want to change to a proxy arrangement, we must be notified by the earlier deadline for postal vote arrangements that you wish to cancel that arrangement before we can put in place a new proxy arrangement.
If you apply to vote by proxy, your proxy will receive a proxy poll card or letter before the election that they can take to the Polling Station with them. If your appointed proxy would prefer to receive your vote by post they can do so, but they must complete and return an additional form and this form must reach us before the deadline for applications to vote by post has passed for any given election. If they choose to receive your vote by post then you will not be able to vote in person on Polling Day should you happen to be in the Waveney area.

Anything Hollywood can do, we can do, uh, just as well" seems to be the gauntlet thrown down by "Dead in 3 Days," Austria's first teen slasher movie. One of the hits in Locarno's Piazza Grande screenings this year, thoroughly generic pic piles on the thrills and chills, and manages to turn the country's usually placid, postcard-pretty landscape into a repository of fear and dread.
Anything Hollywood can do, we can do, uh, just as well" seems to be the gauntlet thrown down by "Dead in 3 Days," Austria's first teen slasher movie. One of the hits in Locarno's Piazza Grande screenings this year, thoroughly generic pic piles on the thrills and chills, and manages to turn the country's usually placid, postcard-pretty landscape into a repository of fear and dread. All that's missing is a sense of ironic humor, but biz looks to be bright in German-speaking territories as well as in markets open to non-Anglo genre fare. For fests, it's a late-night curio.Set around the semi-Alpine lake of Ebensee, east of Salzburg, pic opens with an unknown man hanging himself and the classic device of a blood-spattered girl staggering out of a forest and mumbling, "Help Nina." Flashback four days earlier and a bunch of self-centered high-schoolers, on the lam after passing their college entrance exams, accidentally hits a deer with their car. One by one, they then receive text messages warning "In 3 days you'll be dead!" First to receive the nasty SMS is petite blonde Nina (Sabrina Reiter), who initially dismisses it as a joke but goes to the cops when her b.f., Martin (Laurence Rupp), disappears at a party. What Nina doesn't know is that Martin has been abducted to a boatyard by a mysterious hood (Michael Rastl) and dumped in the lake. Another of their gang, Patrick (Julian Sharp), has also gone AWOL. In a well-staged, atmospheric sequence, the kids find Martin's body floating under the water the next day, and local cop Kogler (Andreas Kiendl) finally feels guilty about not raising the alarm earlier. After Nina is abducted, and just about escapes with her life, the remaining teens remember an incident from their youth that may have a bearing on the murders. Finale, in an old wooden house, is genuinely thrilling — as much for its offhanded approach to horror as the horror itself. Shot in cold colors, tightly edited and with effective use of closeup camerawork in the scenes of violence, film moves with a sense of purpose that doesn't leave any time for auds to question the plot holes. Use of thick Austrian dialect (which may require some subtitling for regular German-speakers) heightens the feel of sleepy smalltown life, separating pic even from German teen slashers (of which there have been many). Most of the largely young, unknown cast hit their marks, though Reiter stands out as the quietly spunky, can-do heroine.

HAZELWOOD, Mo. -- When the St. Louis Blues acquired Kris Russell a week after they hired Ken Hitchcock to coach, they had a good understanding of what kind of player they were getting.
When Hitchcock was in Columbus, he had a very young Russell on his roster, so the knowledge and familiarity were there.
And when searching for a spot to insert Russell, the veteran Hitchcock didn't waste any time giving Roman Polak his fourth defensive partner with the season barely a month old.
Hitchcock didn't mind matching the duo despite their physical differences and playing styles. It was like matching oil and water.
Polak, a big, burly 6-foot-1, 225-pound right-handed muscle mass known to punish opponents on his side of the ice, and Russell, the smallish 5-10, 172-pound wispy but dart-like left-handed skater who transitions the puck smoothly from one zone to the other.
It would never work.
Or would it?
"I thought we developed [chemistry] pretty early," Russell told NHL.com. "I thought we had a good regular season together."

(En español: Biopsia)
Say: by-op-see
Sometimes, when doctors are not sure what's wrong with a part of your body, they might decide to do a test called a biopsy. This means they remove a tiny piece and look at it under a microscope. A common kind of biopsy is of the skin, but a doctor also can take a biopsy almost anywhere, including from a muscle, lung, or kidney. The biopsy gives doctors a closer look at what's going on inside and will help make the diagnosis so the doctor can choose the right treatment. A doctor will give you medicine called anesthesia that will keep you comfortable while the biopsy is done.

As the month kicks off, one of the most consistent things I really want to do is have more chances to use the phrase "Rocktober", but other than the chance to hook some people up with last week's crop of solid indies and some exciting upcoming site features/contests, there's nothing really "rocking" this week in the dark recesses of the XBLIG.
Unfortunately, we never hit the 100 followers I set out for the 1600 MSP card giveaway, even combining Facebook and Twitter. However! We're damn close and I already set the code aside, so I'm going to go ahead and extend that particular offer into this week. Not only that, but regardless of whether or not we hit it this go-round, I'll be handing it out anyway because I love you guys and I know you love us…or free stuff. It's cool, we can share.
We don't have any codes to give away this week, although other than our Catch of the Week, I'm not sure how much you'd want them. I couldn't track down Pixelosity's creators, so if you're reading this and you made it (or know where I can get a hold of GLHF), drop us a line.
Thanks to Hurley and GLHF's @Gorbear – one of our lucky followers this week will win a copy of Pixelosity. That's it! That's all you have to do to enter! Follow us and spread the love, bringing everyone closer to that sexy MSP card.
Catch of the Week_
Welcome to the "pride" of pixel gaming.
Pixelosity – 80 (Hurley)
I don't need much in terms of excitement for my side-scrolling shooters. Competent controls, enemies to shoot that aren't braindead (but do follow a recognizable pattern, smiley face), a bullet hell to artfully escape from, some helpful powerups, high scores to shoot for and improve upon, and I'm generally good to go for at least a few hours fun.
Pixelosity provides this in a nice and tidy, 20-minute-per-playthrough package that's less 8-bit styling and more Atari 2600 with a bit of BIT.TRIP (Ha! A funny!) thrown in also, with a degree of difficulty based entirely on reflexes, like it should be. It won't win awards for longevity or it's design (three enemy types across seven stages, which are just changing background colors), but I like it. A worthy time-waster.
(Nate) – I was promised "more cats" in the purchase screen but in my brief time with it (what can I say, I'm an easy sell on cats) – I couldn't figure out how these cats factored in. This disappoints me but putting that aside, it's a pretty fun shooter and it is by far the best thing to come out this week. It's pretty simple though, even with the commitment to consistent visual theme, I'd rather see more options available besides leaderboards.
Speaking of which: they are online at least, which is a pretty big point in its favor. On the downside neither Hurley nor IndieGamerChick showed up in my list despite the fact I know both of them have played it. So…I'm not actually sure if this feature works.
Don't let Kairi babysit your kids, or your puppy. Proof in her Pixelosity review.
It's…uh, functional_
We let everyone dress themselves this morning and this is what happened.
Mega Shooter 11 – 240 (Hurley)
Judging from the box art, this is either anti-virus software or a game. Mega Shooter 11's got ladies and powerups. Now that's a campaign promise I can get behind. It's got the retro look and sound, meaning dated for nostalgia's sake, but it's an awful slow crawl through the levels, and half the things fired at me I can't seem to damage or avoid. I like the hidden rooms and warp points, and that every scientist you rescue carries an upgrade or new weapon to try out, yet I'm not wowed, and thus not entirely sold on it.
Absolutely no caption is better than the term SuperMortar.
SteamSunk – 80 (Hurley)
SS is a top-down arena shooter set on water. It's hard to get a feel for it beyond that initial conclusion, as you only get about two minutes of gamplay in before being pestered to buy it, with your only choice to purchase or go back to the menu to repeat the process after another few minutes. It plays alright, looks to have a nice assortment of weapons and powerups, but with the forced brevity of the trial, what exactly is supposed to entice prospective buyers to take the plunge after 120 seconds? What's it got to hide?
Kairi, rumored to know all the words to every Justin Bieber song, ever, also reviewed this over at Indie Gamer Chick.
Lady, if they're close enough to hit em' with a sword, you're in a bad shape.
There Will Be Brains – 80 (Nate)
There Will Be Review in full soon, but in the meantime, I will say TWBB is a game of missed potential. I like its creators, their sense of humor and the artwork in particular deserves mention but the incongruous graphic styles, music, pacing and ludicrously bad weapon balance make it a title that is worth watching but not quite ready for prime time. The fact that there is only one enemy type is an egregious oversight.
I know that they're working on fixing some issues, adding more to the game and shaping it into a title worth wearing big girl pants, but in its current state it feels more like an early build than a full version.
A picture isn't always worth a thousand words. In this case, just one: generic.
The $1 Zombie Game – 80 (Hurley)
Full review forthcoming from me for Gear-o-ween.
…It's the poor man's Nazi Zombies, but it's not bad for a wave shooter. Timely.
(Nate) Hurley's kindness amazes me, mostly because I thought this was a god damn crime against humanity. When I can actually say a zombie game has terrible AI, well…it's pretty damn sad. And what the hell is with that ski mask?
Welcome to the barren landscape of PC gaming 20 years ago. The horror! The horror!
Spell Master – 240 (Nate)
Looks and pretty much plays like a PC Diablo-era game, only without any of the presentation of that debatably illustrious name. Gather weeds, mash em together, make spells. There's quite a bit of effort that's gone into the writing and spell-combinations, but the actual gameplay experience just isn't that much fun. In addition, there's almost no precision whatsoever to the aiming, since you can only shoot in the four basic directions and pure diagonals.
Try before you buy, definitely.
Flight Adventure 2 – 240 (Nate)
I'm going to be honest, the very first time I tried Flight Adventure 2, I spent the whole of the eight minute trial sitting on the ground, screwing around with all the controls, completely unable to get my plane to respond. I just sat there, moving my flaps, changing the camera, trying to shift gears, anything at all. It turns out that this is something of a flight simulator and in this respect at least, it perfectly simulated what would happen if you stuck me in the cockpit of a real plane.
Absolutely nothing.
I did end up buying in, finally getting off the ground on my second attempt. After flying around aimlessly for awhile, I have to admit it is rather fun once you do get it working, the graphics and draw distance are certainly impressive. However, when my friend Vance and I decided to take a shot with multiplayer, every attempt we made was met with errors or issues until the game finally gave up a Code 4 and kicked me back to the dashboard.
I'll make a more earnest attempt later this week, but so far, this one has potential. The fact that it's only one plane is a huge disappointment though.
Kairi Vice, who learned everything she knows about flying from a weekend of peyote and a long talk with a cinnamon bun, actually got the online working and had a lot more fun crashing into stuff than I did.
Caution: Content Sucks_
Oh, PLAYER1, we're all so proud of you.
FITS – Fishing in the Sea – 240 (Nate)
I hope no one at Lucky Soft enjoys fishing, or coding games for that matter, because I'm going to break all of their fingers individually. I doubt any of them do anyway, because FITS is about the least fun you could possibly have with a virtual fishing game. It seems to have been saddled with an appropriate acronym, because it conjures to mind phrases like "fits of rage" but in all reality, there's nothing to get particular angry about here. Fishing is already dull, and Lucky Soft managed to remove the closest thing to excitement you can experience while burning yourself to a crisp under the hot sun on a lake: actually reeling in the fish.
It's one button to hook the fish, then it's yours automatically.
If you must engage in virtual fishing, do yourself a favor: find a cheap copy of any of the Breath of Fire games (well, except Dragon Quarter) or hell, everyone owns at least one Zelda. How about Legend of the River King? Sega Bass Fishing just dropped on XBLA I believe.
The only thing this does that I haven't seen elsewhere is multiplayer and if you make your friends play this, well…it'll be back to single-player before too long.
I question the objectiveness of your "Hardiness" scale, sir.
Wirral Railway & Garden Plants – 80 (Nate)
A pointless random collection of information condensed into a poorly organized and designed series of pages that you are then quizzed over. This would be ugly on a geocities page in 1995 when everyone had skull gifs and an embedded midi of Bon Jovi's Shot Through the Heart.
It's physically painful to view with the unshielded eye now. Just absolutely, mind-numbingly stupid. This is not a game. This is not more useful, faster or in any way superior to a google search.
On a personal level: screw you, "JB Marius-Sheridan"
On an impersonal level: screw the peer review system for allowing this kind of crap to litter the marketplace. What the hell, guys?
Congrats to last week's winners and keep an eye on things around the site: we've got some even better plans in the works, along with the Achievement Unachieveable promotion starting October 17th, in partnership with that psychotic matron patron of the market: the Indie Gamer Chick, as well as the always classy Two Fedoras and our curiously handicapped, but strangely effective undersea brethern at Armless Octopus.
See you guys next week!

For years, NPR has been soliciting ideas and stories from its member stations, and WXXI has responded. Today, Bud Lowell will be filing a story about layoffs at Corning; a couple of weeks ago, he submitted a piece about the Rochester City School District and its efforts to keep kids from missing class on cold days - by picking them up at their doorsteps. My most recent submission was about Sentry Safe.
PBS, on the other hand, rarely uses local reports in national programming. To begin with, it is not as easy to transfer video quickly - and it can be expensive. But, under the direction of PBS President Paula Kerger, there is a growing effort to develop the news staffs at member stations.
And WXXI is on the ground floor of this effort.

In an article posted on the websites of the Broward and Miami New Times, journalist Jean Friedman-Rudovsky picks up where our Global Response campaign left off: she exposes the emptiness of Walmart's claim that its "Love, Earth" gold jewelry comes from socially and environmentally responsible mines and manufacturers.
Friedman-Rudovsky reports from the lands of the Western Shoshone people in Nevada, where Newmont Mining Corporation mines gold for the "Love, Earth" brand against the wishes of the Western Shoshone people, and from Bolivia, where Aymara Indigenous workers manufacture the "Love, Earth" jewelry under harsh and exploitative labor conditions.
Two years ago, Global Response launched a campaign denouncing Walmart's "greenwashing" and urging the company to retract its false claims for the "Love, Earth" products. There is no basis for Walmart's assertion that the mines and manufacturers that produce "Love, Earth" products have "a net positive effect on the environmental and human health and well being," as they claim on their website. There is no independent monitoring of the environmental and social impacts of the "Love, Earth" mines and manufacturing plants.
Friedman-Rudovsky's interviews with the affected Indigenous communities and with environmental watchdog organizations reveal brutal labor conditions, environmental destruction and contamination, and human rights violations at the source of Walmart's "Love, Earth" products – a far cry from Walmart's claims that they "contribute to the sustainable development of the communities and regions touched by mining operations."

text: The Ark of the Covenant was very sacred to the Ancient Jews. It was a rectangular box made of Acacia wood about 4 x 1.5 x 1.5 feet. It was covered with gold and was carried by poles that were inserted into rings located on the four corners. On top was a lid called "The Mercy Seat" which had two Cherubs with outstretched wings pointing towards each other. Inside of the Ark were the tablets of the Ten Commandments, a jar of manna, and Aaron's Rod that budded (Heb. 9:4). It served as the symbol of the very presence of God. The Ark of the Covenant was place in the Holy of Holies in the Tabernacle and later in the Temple. Once a year, the High Priest would enter the Holy of Holies and sprinkle blood on the Mercy Seat. This was symbolic of the forgiveness of the sins of the Jewish nation. The Ark of the Covenant is also called the "Ark of the Testimony" (Ex. 30:6), "Ark of God" (1 Sam. 3:3), and the "Ark of the covenant of the Lord" (Deut. 10:8).

03/04/2012, Guadalajara
A quick recap of our week in Guadalajara.
Our flights from Vancouver to Guadalajara were pretty easy if you delete the part where we connected in LAX (I never see Jeff get angry except in the line up for USA Homeland Security at the airport when we connect flights through the US, then a little vein in his forehead starts bulging and theres a lot of staring and sighing and once we are through theres a lot of swearing) and the part where we forgot to check Morley into the cargo hold with our baggage (it really should be an option).
Driving from the airport to our hotel we soaked in all the sights and smells that remind you that you are back in Mexico. First the humidity, then the burning coconut husks, the roadside tacos and bbq's and then the sewers.
We spent a week in Guadalajara sightseeing and shopping. We weren't supposed to be shopping but GDL is a shoppers paradise and our hotel was right across the road from the largest mall in the city. The great thing about this centre is that you can find your Starbucks tucked into the corner but most of the other stores are not big chain stores so there is so much variety. There were also about 6 huge shoe stores and 20 ice cream kiosks. Every evening the locals would bring their dates or families down to the outdoor mall and sit on the benches or stroll the courtyard eating ice-cream while the kids ran round and round the fountains. It became a lovely evening tradition and Carden and Morley tired themselves out before bedtime.
One of the things I love about Mexico is the little stands set up by the side of the road. On the main drag between the mall and hotel was the bus stop and locals set up stalls of goodies. One had candy and snacks, another little personal items one might need for a bus ride and my favourite was the fruit stand where each morning I bought about 2 pints of fresh cubed mango, pineapple and watermelon for 20 pesos ($1.50). The fruit is traditionally served smothered in chilli sauce and salt with a fork but I take mine plain.

The 53-year-old former striker believes die Mannschaft now have an even stronger side than in any of their previous three triumphsRudi Voller believes that Germany coach Joachim Low is in possession of the greatest crop of players the country has ever produced.
Voller - who himself guided die Mannschaft to a runners-up finish at the 2002 World Cup - is in awe of his nation's current selection and believes they are ready to surpass their third-place finish in South Africa three years ago and semi-final exit at Euro 2012, when they head for Brazil next summer.
"From my perspective, we have our best squad of all time," Voller told the Express. "Better than the 1954, 1974 or 1990 [World Cup-winning] squads.
"We have so many young, good German players; this has never happened before.
"We have a great opportunity [to win in Brazil], even though luck and the little details will, of course, play a part.
"But other teams are more afraid of us than we are of them."
German football is riding high at the moment, with Bayern Munich having gone head-to-head with fellow Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund in the final of last season's Champions League.

News PM looks at problems and priorities of human rights portfolio

The final film by director Jan Němec, who died in March at the age of 79, is to take part in the main competition at the 51st Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, organisers announced on Tuesday.

Councillors agree to ban Segways from central Prague
Prague councillors have unanimously agreed to ban Segways from the historic centre of the city. Once a final vote has been taken on the matter the two-wheeled electric vehicles should disappear from the area's pavements, cycle paths and pedestrian zones, where they have become a common sight in recent years. Councillors on Tuesday did not set a date for when the Segway ban will come into effect.

The trial of US national Kevin Dahlgren, suspected of murdering relatives, a family of four in Brno-Ivanovice, almost three years ago to the day. The US citizen fled the Czech Republic to neighbouring Austria and was arrested immediately upon landing in the United States. He was later extradited to the Czech Republic; if found guilty, Mr Dahlgren faces a potential life sentence.
Stanley Cup final: Hertl scores in opening game but Sharks lose to Penguins
Czech forward Tomáš Hertl scored one of two San Jose Shark goals on Monday in the opening game of the Stanley Cup final but it wasn't enough to prevent defeat at the hands of the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Pens outshot the Sharks 41:26 and got the game-winning goal from Nick Bonino late in the third period. The goal came with 2:33 remaining. The final score was 3:2.
Gripens scrambled to identify aircraft
Two Jas-39 Gripen fighter jets were scrambled last Friday to identify an aircraft, the Defence Ministry revealed. The move was taken after a Spanish civilian airbus failed to reply to ground control even over the emergency frequency. The Gripen fighter jet pilots made visual contact with the pilots of the passenger jet and escorted the aircraft up to the German border. The spokesman for the Defence Ministry called similar incidents, where the pilots failed to communicate, rare.
iDnes: Brigadier general killed in fighting near Mosul studied in Olomouc during Saddam years
A Kurdish brigadier general who fled persecution under the regime of late dictator Saddam Hussein, who held a Czech passport and had studied in Olomouc, was killed on Sunday in Iraq, the news website iDnes reports. The general, who was not named, was killed near Mosul where forces have launched an offensive to push out fighters for Daesh. According to the report, the general was shot by a terrorist fighter who had remained behind, who then detonated an explosive device, killing himself. iDnes cited details from a Kurdish news report.
The Hockey News lists Czechs last in World Cup of Hockey power rankings
Canadian writer Ken Campbell of The Hockey News has ranked the Czech Republic's national hockey team eighth out of eight squads to compete in the prestigious World Cup of Hockey this September. The power rankings were released after the rosters for the competition were finalised; a disclaimer in the article reminds readers not to take the rankings as predictions; rather they can be interpreted as a summary of teams' overall strengths and weaknesses. Campbell expressed the opinion that Czechs were weakest when it came to defense but had several "serviceable" NHL forwards. He praised as "good" the goalies Michal Neuwirth and Petr Mrázek. On the list, the Czech squad boasts the second-fewest Stanley Cup rings (although a San Jose Sharks win this year would add two). Czech coach Josef Jandač, meanwhile, told idnes.cz that the team saw the situation neither bleakly nor with rose-coloured glasses, saying they knew they could only surprise.
Two drown, third person still missing, in rafting accident on Swiss river
Two Czechs drowned and a third person is still missing following a rafting accident on Friday on the Swiss river Landquart near Küblis, the Neue Zürcher Zeitung reports. The three were part of a group of 10 Czech tourists on two rafts; when one overturned, two people were able to save themselves but two others were later found drowned. The fate of a 66-year-old man remains unknown but officials are not hopeful. The search has since been called off until further notice.

Maintain your React state with Cursors.
Maintain your React state with Cursors.
Cursors is a React mixin that is inspired by David Nolen's Om. This is a much lighter implementation that is focused on Nolen's idea of a single global state and using cursors to create smaller local states within a single shared data structure.
Cursors leverages the Immutability Helpers provided by React Add-ons. By avoiding mutation, tasks like undo/redo become trivial, reasoning about problems becomes easier, and bugs are easier to avoid.
bower install cursors
The Cursors object itself should be mixed-in to all Cursors-using components.
Returns a new
cursor with its path set to
key's path concatenated with
key and
path should both be a
string or
number. Use an array of
strings and/or
numbers for
path if your path goes more than one level
Update the state with the change definitions in
deltas. For
delta syntax
check out React's Immutability Helpers.
Check out the test file for a full example. Here's the basics:
var User = ReactcreateClass // First, mixin Cursors to add the appropriate functions to this component // definition. mixins: Cursors // In order for state changes to be recognized globally, you should never need // to use `this.setState`. Instead, use `this.update`. `update` takes a key // and a delta object. Check the "Immutability Helpers" link for more // information. By using `update`, the value will be updated at the root level // of the cursor, and changes will be propagated down back to the children. // This is a huge win for cursors, because it removes the need to nest // callbacks down for changes to objects that live higher up in the hierarchy. thisupdateuser: name: $set: evtargetvalue; // The value of any cursors passed into this component will be reflected in // the `this.state` object. This interface allows children to not depend on // being passed cursors, but use them transparently if they are passed. return <input value=thisstateusername onChange=thishandleChange />; ; var Users = ReactcreateClass // First, mixin Cursors to add the appropriate functions to this component // definition. mixins: Cursors // The only component that should need to define `getInitialState` is the root // component. Child components can define their initial state, but state that // is passed into them via parent cursors will override the corresponding // initial state. return users: thispropsusers || ; // When rendering child components, always pass the appropriate `cursor` for // the child component via `this.getCursor(key, [path])`. return <User cursors=user: thisgetCursor'users' i />; return

Herman Cain's Metrodome moment
Herman Cain: This is the Metrodome!
Herman Cain is suddenly, remarkably ascendant in the Republican Party. That the Godfather's Pizza guy has shot to the top of the pop charts may say more about his competition -- including Michele, our belle -- than about Cain's own viability as the guy with the nuclear codes. But for now, Cain is still forcing America to consider the image of a liberal black president answering the door of the White House, only to find a conservative black pizza delivery guy who's got a large order of pepperoni, mushrooms, and tax cuts for the wealthy.
So! While we've got Cain on the brain, let's do a bit of learning. For example, Cain spent some time around these very parts when he was a big muckety-muck executive at Pillsbury Company.
In fact, one of the defining moments of Herman Cain, as told in Cain's new campaign book, happened right here in our fair city. It turns out, as Minneapolis was watching the Metrodome's original collapse in 1981, Herman Cain was thinking about something much more important: Herman Cain!
(It should be pointed out that City Pages is pretty much obligated to use surprising punctuation after Herman Cain's! name, because the man is so exciting and weird that you just feel like mixing it up. Herman Cain?)
Last year's collapse of the Metrodome was God's endorsement of Herman Cain.
Cain's remarkable moment of vanity, as highlighted by New York Times columnist Gail Collins on Saturday, deserves to be pushed further into the American consciousness, until voters look at Herman Cain and wonder, "Wait, is that the guy who thought he was the Metrodome?"
Here, via Cain's amazing new autobiography, "This is Herman Cain!" (subtitle: And Other Useless Exclamations!) is the relevant passage in its entirety:
"After the headquarters project turned out successfully, I was once again bored. Life was good -- Gloria and I were healthy; we now had a daughter and a son; we lived in a nice home; we had even started taking vacations, which we had never done much earlier in my career. I was even singing in the church choir and recording with a Minneapolis gospel singing group. But my motivation had collapsed.
I was sitting in my new office on the thirty-first floor of the World Headquarters one day when I looked out the window and saw that the inflatable dome of the new Minneapolis stadium had collapsed.
Oh, hey! Teacher, I know this one! The Metrodome collapse was a symbol of urban blight, a failed monument to public spending -- a lesson in flawed structure. Something like that, right Herman?
I realized, as I sat there, staring out the window, that what had kept me happy and motivated was the excitement, challenge, and risk of the past few years.
Oh. So instead, the 1981 collapse of the Metrodome was actually about how Herman Cain had gotten bored with biscuits, and needed to move on to his life's work: Pizza... and, when he gets around to it, saving America from its own liberal tendencies. And, of course, Muslims.
Cain's book doesn't include a passage about the most recent spectacular collapse of the Metrodome, but we can assume that that, too, was about Herman Cain. Also about Herman Cain was the I-35W bridge collapse, the fall 2010 flooding of St. Paul, and the astonishing meltdown of the Minnesota Vikings' 1998 season.
Herman Cain is the Metrodome, and he feels the Metrodome's fate in a way you cannot imagine. Whatever happens to that hideous, decades-outdated piece of cement, happens deep inside Herman Cain -- who wants you to think, whenever you cast your eyes upon the Metrodome, "This is Herman Cain!"
In a related note, Herman Cain lost to the Chicago Bears 39-10 last night.

A Wallet With So Much To Offer
Not that long ago, my boyfriend was on the search for a new wallet. He did not want something that would be bulky and inconvenient nor did he want to spend a ton of money on a wallet. He wanted something practical, pragmatic, and versatile. We do a lot of traveling and participate in a lot of outdoor activities (such as hiking, fishing, backpacking, climbing, boating, skiing, camping). We are always up for journeys and adventures, so a wallet that could withstand us is well worth the time and effort to find.
Plus, he wanted something that could contribute more than just a place to hold his money, identification, and credit cards. Thus far, he has been using a rubber band, and it has worked just fine. He wanted something…more.
And he found it. It is called the TRAYVAX© wallet, and it is made to endure everything. According to the TRAYVAX website, the "wallet includes features like a carabineer clip, bottle opener, cash and receipts slot, and finger grooves for turning the wallet into a handle for carrying groceries." On top of that it has a little pocket-like area for stuffing with bags for picking up waste when walking our dogs. It is a really neat little piece of wallet technology.
I know that normally on redOrbit, we discuss the traditional forms of technology like gadgets, devices, games, robots, and the like. But I was really impressed by this little wallet and all it could do. Plus, it is made of some of the most durable materials in the tech world. For instance, the base of the wallet is made from 6061 aircraft aluminum, which means that it is not going to break, bend, or otherwise crack for quite some time. The wallet also utilizes 550 parachute cord, which is durable and strong. As if those were not enough, it has .065 powder-coated steel, so no scratches. But durability is not its only benefit.
The wallet is also incredibly useful and versatile as well as really easy to use. Even I could transform it from an everyday wallet storage to a grocery bag holder. What really appealed to us was the fact that a carabineer could easily be added to it so that when we backpack, travel, or hike, it is easily accessible. This is one cool wallet.
Oh, and did I mention that it is RFID resistant? RFID means Radio Frequency Identification. The Homeland Security website explains, "technology uses radio waves to identify people or objects. There is a device that reads information contained in a wireless device or "tag" from a distance without making any physical contact or requiring a line of sight."
RFID is a part of all of our daily lives in one way or another. Most of us have car keys with lock and unlock buttons…well, that's RFID technology. Most of this RFID technology is helpful, but criminals and other less-than-decent humans could use it to gain personal information, say our credit card numbers. The TRAYVAX© wallet is RFID resistant thus those unseemly individuals cannot gain our credit card and otherwise private info. Now, if that isn't awesome technology protection, I don't know what is. Heck, I sort of want one for me! Especially since it costs only $24.99 (USD).
I just thought this wallet was definitely interesting and might be something redOrbit readers would want to know more about. Check out the TRAYVAX© YouTube video:

Sympathy for the devil
In Walt Disney's 1959 animated fantasy Sleeping Beauty, one of the three good-natured fairies pauses a moment in mid-mayhem of curses, poisoned spinning wheels, and a forest of impenetrable thorns to offer this oddly sympathetic reflection on the witch: "Maleficent doesn't know anything about love or kindness or the joy of helping others. You know, sometimes I think she isn't very happy."
The moment is mildly funny (for adults) in its understatement. The vindictive, child-cursing, prince-abducting, kingdom-wrecking, would-be murderess is not only unhappy, she is also internally ripping herself to shreds from unappeasable and insatiable hatred. Just that. But I see Fauna's comment as the opening salvo, already in the late '50s, of the cult of sympathy for evil actors.
Right on schedule we have the 2014 version of Sleeping Beauty, by a Disney you never knew before. Gone is the idea of a good king and a pretty princess as protagonists. Gone is the straight-up story line of good vs. evil. King Stefan is not all he's cracked up to be, and Maleficent is not as bad as we thought. She is deeply conflicted, her wounded psyche the result of abuse and betrayal by people she trusted. She is damaged goods and her behavior is … understandable.
In the real life battle of good and evil today in the Middle East (who dares speak this way since Reagan?), a Fox News interviewer probes Hillary Clinton, the woman who would be president. Just as the 2014 Sleeping Beauty movie is a re-imagining of original from the perspective of the witch, so Clinton follows her boss' lead in re-imagining the old classic of Islam vs. Christianity. For where have the Arabs not been abused by the rapacious West throwing its weight around the globe? As Fauna implicitly suggests, if we could only get to the emotional core of the Taliban, we would see they aren't so bad. They can be reached. They can be reasoned with:
Greta Van Susteren: "Would you have made that swap for Sgt. Bergdahl—five Taliban for Sgt. Bergdahl?"
Clinton: "Well … at the time I was trying to put together a bigger deal, a deal that would create a negotiation between the government of Afghanistan and the Taliban, to try to move the Taliban to renounce violence, to renounce al-Qaeda, to agree to support the constitution and the laws. …"
The former secretary of state goes on to assure Van Susteren that the five released Taliban "are not a threat to the United States … [since] … they are not supposed to be permitted to travel."
I feel better already, don't you? In other words, if we just try hard enough, and are polite, we can "move the Taliban to renounce violence." Once you know the back story on these guys released from Gitmo—Mullah Mohammad Fazl, Mohammad Nabi Omari, Abdul Haq Wasiq, Mullah Norullah Noori, and Khairullah Khairkhwa—you gotta love 'em. Just like you end up loving Maleficent by the end of the two hours of hearing her side.
Remember what they told you as a child about the three little pigs and big bad wolf? Fuggedaboutit. There's a revision out called The True Story of the Three Little Pigs, told in the words of the huffer and puffer. A very nice canine once you get to know him.

Questions on Snakes
I found a snakeskin in my basement, does that mean there is a snake down there.
While that might be the case if the snake recently shed, but most likely, the snake has left. I would recommend that you plug any holes along the foundation where a snake might be able to come in looking for food. If there is no food, available (mice) the snake will not usually stay. Where utility connections come into the house is often a place where snakes can enter.
I have found several smaller snakes in my yard during the late summer and early fall, should I be overly concerned?
Snakes that lay eggs usually lay them in the spring and they hatch in the late summer and early fall. Most likely, the eggs were laid somewhere in your yard and snakes are hatching and dispersing.
How do you tell the difference between a venomous and a non-venomous snake?
A non-venomous snake has round pupils and a venomous snake in our state has pupils that resemble a cat eye. The head on a venomous snake is triangular and a more rounded shape in a non-venomous snake. If you were to look from the anus down, a venomous snake has two rows of scales almost to the end of the tail where a non-venomous snake has a single row of scales all the way from the anus to the end of the tail.

By Susan Braden
Just the thought of oral care is often enough to make some patients avoid the dentist altogether. Others do not keep regular appointments because they do not know how to obtain affordable dental coverage. While avoiding regular oral maintenance can eventually lead to serious problems, immediate dental coverage is even more important if you suddenly experience a broken tooth.
You should head to the dentist if you notice twinges of pain when consuming food and drinks that are very hot or very cold, or if you have severe, lingering pain in the tooth, a potential sign of nerve damage.
Some fractures result in intense pain, but others have symptoms which are less acute. Regardless of the severity of your pain, broken teeth need to be fixed in a timely manner, and without breaking the bank! An affordable discount plan can help provide you the emergency dental coverage you need.
Your dentist can determine if a cavity has caused or exacerbated the break, and treat the decay before it spreads further. He or she can also diagnose any damage to the nerve inside your tooth, damage that will require more severe treatment and cause you great pain if ignored.
As you can see, fixes for broken teeth run the gamut from a quick polish to root canal to extraction. As you might imagine, there is a very wide spectrum of prices you could pay for various treatments. A quick polish and filing may only cost you a few extra dollars, while other procedures could easily the thousand-dollar threshold if you do not have dental coverage.
When you realize that you have a cracked or fractured tooth, one of the first thoughts you may have is, "How can I make this affordable?" Fortunately, you do not need to tackle this expense on your own. There are excellent discount dental plans that can provide the affordable dental care you need. Don't suffer in silence with a cracked or broken tooth. If you have a broken tooth, you may want to investigate cheap dental coverage today. With the money you save, you will have good reason to smile.
1 Root Canal: This endodontic therapy involves removal of a tooth's inner pulp tissue to prevent further damage or infection. After the pulp is taken out, the dentist cuts out the nerve and cleans out the inside of the tooth. He or she then fills the root cavity with a solid substance and seals the area. Though this procedure is commonly thought to be very painful, if properly performed you will feel little. Many dentists use local anesthesia during root canals and prescribe pain relievers afterward. Discount plans often provide dental coverage of this expensive procedure, saving patients hundreds of dollars.
2 Crown: A crown, which will cap or encase your remaining tooth, often greatly increases the likelihood of a successful, long lasting root canal. A crown is often necessary to maintain the shape and effectiveness of a tooth treated with a root canal. It will help the tooth to function properly without breaking. The crown process begins with a tooth impression. The impression is then sent to a lab expert, who will fabricate a crown to match your enamel. At a later visit, your dentist will insert and cement it in place. Many crowns will last ten years or more, and may need to be replaced overtime.
