How can you be 25 and not know you're gay? Billy Ballew runs from that question. A high school dropout, barely able to read until he taught himself, Billy's life is driven by his need to help support his parents as a construction worker, put his sisters through college, coach his Little League team, and not think about being a three-time loser in the engagement department. Being terrified of taking tests keeps Billy from getting the contractor's license he so desires, and fear of his mother's judgment blinds Billy to what could make him truly happy.
Then, in preparation for his sister's big wedding, Billy meets Shaz - alias Chase Phillips - a rising-star celebrity stylist who defines the word gay. To Shaz, Billy embodies everything he's ever wanted - stalwart, honest, brave - but even if Billy turns out to be gay, he could never endure the censure he'd get for being with a queen like Shaz. How can two men with so little in common find a way to be together? Can the Stylist of the Year end up with the Knight of Ocean Avenue?

"The cat's meow"
The story is a proper feel-good, all obstacles overcome, no lasting contention.
The audio is very good, comfortable narration, hot scenes made hot. Would listen to K.C.Kelly again.
Chase didn't sound as described and the voice for Ru was rather odd, but it didn't hinder enjoyment. Absolutely loved the cat's meows though, they made me grin every time.
"loved it"
have not read the book, but did enjoy the audio edition, The Narration we really great. The different characters were easily distinguished and the reader was not monotonal but his voice flowed like I would imagine it in my head if I had read it .
"great story, but the narrator..."
I really liked the story and I have no complaints about it. but about the narrator though... he really was good with expressions and I like his voice, EXCEPT the voice he makes when portraying an effeminate character... especially Ru... it sounds more like they have some kind of disability 😕 had to knock off a star for that, sorry.
"A true delight"
Not many stories such as this are able to treat you to both tasteful description and also treat you to plot and story.
There is a lot to learn from this novel and it's a true delight to come across something that includes a detailed analysis of one's coming out story and the way it affects themselves and their world around them both negatively and most importantly, positively.
Knight of Ocean Avenue is funny, intelligent, sexy, well paced, intense and above all, I can honestly say I cared about every character in this. The fabulous, the devious and the pure of heart.
Superb narration, unhindered by its mature but entertaining content.
A sexy tale that is both generous in the bedroom and treats you like an adult.
"Light and slow for me"
This story was too slow paced and uneventful for me. I don't think there was anything the narrator did but I was easily bored. I know many people like angst free reading, but I am not one of them. i don't need it overly angsty but this one was just meh on the emotional draw for me.
I found Billy's confusion as to his sexuality a tad baffling at his age, but I liked the growth in him as a result his relationship with Shaz. Shaz, on the other hand, was too over the top for me. While Billy was just oblivious and clueless, Shaz was like Boy George's cousin. I just couldn't connect with anyone in this novel though I found the family dynamics interesting.
If you like light and fluffy, then you will probably love this one.
*Special thanks to Dreamspinner Audio for the audiobook given in exchange for an honest review.
"Great coming out listen"
This was a wonderful coming out/GFY story about Billy, a blue collar construction worker who is 25 and can't figure out why none of his relationships with women work out. He has a close knit family and a domineering mother who is always putting pressure on him to settle down with a nice woman. Then he meets Chase (aka - Shaz) and his world is rocked; in a good way. The story is told from both POVs, which I love because I want to know what each character is feeling. There is a little drama, a little angst and a lot of good feeling; it is a great comfort listen. The narrator does a really good job on most of the characters, except Rue, Chase's best friend. Both Rue and Chase are out and proud flamboyant gay men and I think he just goes slightly over board with Rue. He interpretation of Chase and Billy are spot on. Overall, I really enjoyed it.
Everything I was looking for!
I hesitated to try this book because other reviews complaining about Rue being over-the-top, even borderline a homophobic portrayal of a gay guy. that's ridiculous. the truth is lots of gay guys are just like that, art reflecting life and all that. several of the best laugh out loud comments in the book for me came from his calm comments.
that being said, I loved the lead characters in this book! an unlikely couple for sure, but together they do a great job of describing the various shades of the gay experience. playful light happy, a colorful cast, and a believable setting. if you're looking for an enjoyable story with gay characters enjoying love and sex together, this is the book for you!
"Fun if predictable"
It was a fun little romance. While some of the story beats were predictable, the details and some of the dialogue kept me invested.
Kelly, as always, did a solid job of voicing each of the characters. I think one of his strengths is going between some of the characters.
Overall, I would give this a cautious recommendation. While there are moments that are easy to predict, the details leading up to those moments are fun and Lain does a good job of matching the development between Billy and Chase's romance to external factors. Overall, an enjoyable listen.
"A great love story."
Surely it is one of those where the two wouldn't ever be a couple. The narration is wonderful.
At first I did like this book but I kept revisiting it and than it became a great
"Absolutely Loved It"
I have listened to KC Kelly in a few other audio and loved his narration. This one is just as great.
I loved this audio. Chaz is the best! The storyline is unique. The chemistry between the main characters is off the charts. It is funny and sweet with a little angst.
"Two very different men find love. "
This is the first time I've read this author and was pleasantly surprised. I loved it. Shaz's character was so unique. I loved the voice he was given both by the author and the narrator. He was so calm but could "qween" it up and make me laugh. He was so in touch with who he was. I found myself wishing I had a friend like him. Kudos to Tara Lain. I can't wait to read more from her!
"Good story. Terrible narrator."
This was a charming story. The characters were a little implausible but fun. The narrator was awful. There has to be a way to read effeminate men w/o sounding ludicrous and mildly offensive. His Shazz was bad but his Ru was awful b
"Wonderful story and love the narrator!"
This is one of my all-time favorite books! Excellent writing, well developed characters that you will fall in love with and a good story! Highly recommend this book!

9 Battleground States Also Surveyed: Suburban Women in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Latino Women in California, Florida and New Mexico Disagree With Obama Decision; Health Also Trumps Polluters in Colorado, Nevada, and Virginia.
Washington, DC – October 13, 2011: President Obama's decision to block new public health standards for ozone and smog pollution may have pleased big business, but it but it sorely disappointed key demographic groups, including Latinos and women nationally and in nine key 2012 battleground states, according to 10 new polls conducted for the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), the League of Women Voters of the US (LWV), and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).
Among the national poll's major findings:
Americans don't buy the line from some in Congress that EPA safeguards are bad for jobs and the economy and they support stricter safeguards against the toxic chemicals released by power plants. Women and Latino women particularly want stronger protections from toxic air and carbon pollution.
The polls, conducted between October 6-9, 2011 by Public Policy Polling (PPP), surveyed 1,249 registered voters nationwide (as well as a national oversample of 200 Latino women); and surveyed voters in nine 2012 battleground states: Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, California, Florida, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Virginia with oversamples of suburban women and Latino women in several states. To access all PPP survey results, go to http://switchboard.nrdc.org/blogs/paltman/polls_obamas_ozone_retreat_dis.html.
"Delaying clean air standards endangers Latino communities across the country. This poll shows how disappointed the Latino community is with President Obama and Congress when it comes to cleaning up our air," said Brent A. Wilkes, national executive director, League of United Latin American Citizens. "Latinos are more likely to live in counties with air pollution levels that are unhealthy due to fine particulates and ozone -- two dangerous and prevalent pollutants that cause or worsen respiratory problems. Latino children are 60 percent more likely to have asthma than non-Hispanic Whites."
Support for the EPA and stricter pollution limits is particularly strong among Latino women in key states. Asked whether they support the EPA's work to hold polluters accountable, 80 percent of Latino women in California, 79 percent in Florida and 86 percent in New Mexico said yes.
"Americans clearly are very displeased that politicians are interfering with EPA scientists. It's wrong to play politics with the health of our children and seniors," said Elisabeth MacNamara, president of the League of Women Voters of the US. "From the president's decision to delay smog pollution standards to the Congress's attempts to block EPA action on everything from mercury to soot to carbon, the voting public is fed up with politicians second guessing the science. It's fundamentally unfair for polluters to force us to live with unhealthy air, which causes asthma attacks, heart attacks and even premature death."
Support for stronger pollution limits and opposition to blocking the EPA is markedly strong among suburban women in Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Independent respondents also expressed strong support for the EPA's mission and efforts to reduce pollution, and disagree with those who would block the EPA. More than three out of four (77 percent) support the EPA's efforts to hold polluters accountable and 68 percent say the President should not have blocked stronger smog standards and that Congress should not block stronger limits on toxic air pollution.
"What is clear from this polling is what we've known all along: Americans want cleaner, healthier air and want corporate polluters held accountable for their actions. President Obama's decision to delay the ozone air pollution standard puts him out of step with most Americans, and notably with independents, women and Latinos," said Wesley Warren, director of programs at the Natural Resources Defense Council.
Tom Jensen, director, Public Policy Polling, said: "The shorthand version of these findings is clear: Attacks on clean air and the federal agency charged with protecting the environment and the health of Americans is an unpopular position with most Americans, including those in nine key 2012 battleground states. These poll findings provide more than ample evidence that assaults on the Clean Air Act and the Environmental Protection Agency are likely to be perceived as decidedly extreme and well outside of the mainstream of the public's thinking."
About the national poll: The margin of error for the national survey is +/-2.8 percent. Margins of error for oversamples and states vary. Public Policy Polling surveys are conducted through automated telephone interviews. PPP is a national survey research firm located in Raleigh, North Carolina. It was named by the Wall Street Journal as one of the two most accurate polling companies in the country for its swing state polling in 2008. More recently it was recognized by the Washington Post and Politico for its pinpoint polling of the surprising results in the Delaware Republican Senate primary and the Massachusetts Senate special election.

In Reply to: Screwed up posted by kelleykbrown on May 26, 2004
: Is the phrase, "screwed up," to be considered vulgar or obscene in casual conversation, like its obviously vulgar synonym?
I felt uncomfortable using "screwed up" in front of my 90-something grandmother-in-law. I was telling about my little son trying to say he was "keyed up" and instead said "screwed up." From the look on her face, I think it was a mistake to use the term. But I think it's considered pretty mild otherwise. (I'm from the U.S.)

Taliban says NATO nations should follow France leaving Afghanistan
The Taliban on Sunday urged all NATO nations in Afghanistan to follow France's lead and pull their forces from the war.
The call came in a three-page statement released just as heads of state opened the NATO summit in Chicago to talk about the future of Afghanistan.
The Taliban also on Sunday took responsibility for a suicide bombing in southern Afghanistan.
The newly elected president of France has said he will withdraw all French combat troops from Afghanistan by year's end—a full two years before the timeline agreed to by nations in U.S.-led NATO coalition.
"The declaration of the new president of France, Francois Hollande, that all its troops will be removed from Afghanistan at the end of this year is a decision based on realities and a reflection of the opinion of its nation," the Taliban said in an English version of the statement posted on its Web site.
The Taliban often issues long statements addressed to world opinion during international conferences dealing with Afghanistan.
"We call upon all the other NATO member countries to avoid working for the political interests of American officials and answer the call of your own people by immediately removing all your troops from Afghanistan," the insurgent group said.
It cited a recent New York Times/CBS News poll that found that 69 percent of Americans thought the U.S. should not be at war in Afghanistan.
"So the NATO member countries who claim to be the elected representatives of its people and consider their government the people's government — by the people, for the people — how will they answer the call of their people in this summit?" the Taliban asked.
The Taliban also reiterated U.S. estimates that few al-Qaida fighters remain in Afghanistan.
Routing al-Qaida from Afghanistan has been a key basis for U.S. involvement in the decade-long war.
"The American intelligence networks, including the CIA, state that members of al-Qaida have all left Afghanistan and that there are not more than 50 left, therefore the military presence of America is not for its own security, but a long-term strategy for turning our country and the region into its colony." American officials have given an estimate of less than 100 al-Qaida members.
The United States has denied being an occupying force and has said that it has no interest in establishing long-term military bases in Afghanistan. However, a U.S.-Afghan strategic partnership document signed this month gives the U.S. the option of keeping forces in Afghanistan after nearly all international combat troops withdraw by 2014. Any such force would serve two specific purposes: training of Afghan forces and operations against al-Qaida.
Officials have previously said as many as 20,000 U.S. special operations forces and other troops could remain after the combat mission ends, but that still must still be negotiated.
"They are conjuring artificial excuses to prolong the occupation of Afghanistan, are wavering in their stance and do not seem to have a clear strategy for a political solution," the Taliban said. "The Islamic Emirate (which is what the Taliban call themselves) considers the claims of the invaders of finding a political solution as meaningless until they come out of their fluctuating unstable state."

The proliferation of new wineries in Washington State has slowed in the past couple of years, but the landscape today is radically different from even 15 years ago. As recently as the early 1990s the Washington wine scene was dominated by a few large players who also owned a high percentage of planted vineyard land. Today, most of the excitement is being generated by small, quality-minded wineries, and the industrial-scale producers are mostly competing at the low end of the market.
Cabernet and Merlot are Washington's most serious and successful varieties, with Syrah rapidly increasing in popularity thanks to the efforts of some talented newcomers. Red wine is generally growing as a percentage of total production of premium wines, even if Riesling still has considerable commercial importance.
Most of Washington's grapes are grown in the desert east of the Cascade mountains, in the Columbia and Yakima River Valleys, where annual rainfall is so low that the vineyards must be irrigated. The vines in Washington benefit from long daylight hours during the summer, and a longer growing season than California (grapes are usually picked well into October). Although daytime temperatures can be quite hot, frequently surpassing 100 degrees, generally cool September nights allow the grapes to retain healthy acidity, resulting in wines with noteworthy intensity of varietal character. The greatest threat to grape-growing in Washington is winter frost, which can sometimes be severe enough to kill vines, as it did during the winters of 1996 and 2004.
One of the wine world's love-it-or-hate-it grapes, Gewürztraminer is for many wine lovers the signature variety of Alsace. Its highly perfumed aromas of rose petal, smoked meat, lychee, grapefruit, and spices are immediate and captivating, although some examples lack refinement and seem a bit blowzy owing to low acidity and high alcohol. Gewürztraminer is as unlike the steelier, more aristocratic Riesling as a white grape can be. No other region of the world has been able to produce significant quantities of Gewürztraminer that even approach the decadent richness and exotic fruit qualities that the best producers in Alsace achieve. Still, other than late-harvest versions, Gewürztraminer is normally a dry wine in Alsace, despite smelling like a sweet one. Gewürztraminer marries beautifully with rich, fatty dishes like pork and goose or ripe cheeses, as well as with the exotic spices of Moroccan, Indian, and Far Eastern cuisines.

Nov. 28, 2012: HVAC Manufacturers Work to Meet Increased Demand in Wake of Hurricane Sandy
At this point in a typical year, much of this equipment has already been manufactured and shipped to distributors. AHRI said manufacturers and parts suppliers have quickly ramped up production to meet the unexpected and unprecedented need for these products. "Manufacturers could not have predicted this spike in demand during what is typically a slower manufacturing period for heating products," said Stephen Yurek, AHRI president and CEO. "But they are making every effort to provide these products to consumers and small businesses as quickly as possible so their lives can begin to return to normal."
As one manufacturer put it, "We understand the importance of getting heat back on in people's homes all across the most hard-hit areas in New York and New Jersey, and we are doing everything we can to accelerate our manufacturing to meet such a significant spike in demand. We are shipping every piece of equipment we can manufacture as quickly as possible."

A man walking home from work through SDG&E Park early Wednesday was punched and pushed to the ground by three or four men after he refused to hand over a bag he was carrying.
The man told police the bag had come from the hospital where his baby was recently born and it contained baby pictures, some receipts, his car keys and some clothing.
"It had some sentimental value," said Chula Vista police Lt. Vern Sallee. "It didn't have much in the way of valuable property, but the baby pictures and the bag itself were important to him personally."
The robbers took the bag from the man and ran from the park, which is on Hilltop Drive near Jicama Way. An officer responding to the call found two men matching the suspects' descriptions on Kim Way, a short distance from the park.
One of the men was carrying a pair of jeans slung over his shoulder. At first he claimed they were his, but then told the officer they did not belong to him when the officer asked if he could search them.
Inside the jeans were some receipts that had the victim's information on them. Police found some other property in some nearby bushes, although they did not find the man's baby pictures or bag.
One man was arrested on suspicion of strong-arm robbery and the second was arrested on suspicion of possessing stolen property.

Colorado's first scoring chance came in the fifth minute when Dan Gargan played a ball into the center of the field to Guy Melamed who found a streaking Edson Alvarado on the left. Alvarado took one touch and then hit a shot on goal that the Mitchell did well to deflect away.
In the 13th minute a Hunter Freeman cross caused havoc in the Blizzard penalty area as Montezuma Serrato headed it down to Wolde Harris who found Melamed open but the shot was stopped by a Blizzard defender before it got on goal.
Beckerman scored first for the Rapids in the 18th minute. Just one minute after his shot from outside the 18 was barely stopped by Blizzard goalkeeper Matt Mitchell the Maryland native broke through the middle of the Blizzard defense and found himself alone with just the goalie to beat. As Mitchell came out Beckerman calmly slotted the ball into the back of the net.
The Blizzard's Garrett Maloney had the first scoring chance for the home side in the 28th minute when his shot was parried away and out of danger by Coundoul.
Coundoul was called on again in the 35th minute to stop a shot from outside the 18 that dribbled into the waiting hands of the Black and Blue's 'keeper.
A clumsy challenge by the Bilzzard's Marley Wilson in the 45th minute forced the referee to reach into his back pocket and produce a red card forcing the PDL squad to play with 10 men for the rest of the game.
At the halftime mark the Rapids made wholesale changes as all the field players were replaced and many Rapids regulars came onto the pitch.
In the 47th minute Ricky Lewis came up from his right back position to take a shot that just grazed the top of the crossbar of the Blizzard's goal.
In the 53rd minute a Terry Cooke corner kick found the head of Nkong whose shot on goal was corralled by the Blizzard keeper.
The Blizzard pulled even just seconds later when Maloney was left alone on the left sideline and made a cross to Brian Contreras whose rocket of a shot from the 18 just found its way into the goal past the outstretched arms of Rapids goalkeeper Bouna Coundoul.
Coundoul was forced to come out of his goal in the 62nd minute to cut down the angle of an onrushing Blizzard player as Nat Borchers put on the pressure from behind.
Cunningham scored the game-winning goal for the Rapids in the 64th minute when he was on the receiving end of a Cooke through ball that beat the Blizzard offside trap. The Jamaican collected the ball nicely and coolly deposited it into the net.
Nkong's tally was reminiscent of his goal against the Chicago Fire in May. The Cameroonian made a piercing run and played a give and go with Gonzalez just outside the 18 before he notched the third Rapids goal of the afternoon in the 78th minute.
In the 80th minute the newly-signed developmental player Fabrice Noel came onto the field for Ricky Lewis to log some playing time.
In the 82nd minute the Rapids closed their scoring account when Cunningham sent Gonzalez down the left flank. The SMU product took the ball and cut toward the near post.

With more and more developing countries at their heels, many western countries are scrutinizing the economic theory of comparative advantage-trying to find what they are good at. Indeed the speed that developing countries are innovating and catching up to the developed world is many times faster than the speed at which countries such as England first industrialized in the 1800s. In addition, the amazing level of connectivity that is possible today is continually breaking down traditional borders and boundaries. Even taking into account the number of people who were using the Internet in the late '90s, who could have imagined the level of that digital and trans-global communication would reach the level it is at today? The world that will continue to grow smaller in the sense that people, ideas, and innovation which once took a long time to mature and reach the global market, can go online and transform the world overnight.
How eCommerce Changed the World
eCommerce is one of these forces which has transformed the traditional practice of both trade and commodity purchasing over night. All of a sudden, items could be purchased in the comfort of your own home; anyone can visit online stores from all around the world with the simple click of a mouse. Second-hand items could change hands overnight, and even outdated or broken items can resold again for parts or nostalgia. When on the Internet, store hours and international time zones are deal breakers for doing business. Browsing through hundreds of items and comparing their prices is possible in a matter of seconds. Search engines, which enable consumers to do these tasks, are getting more powerful by the day. Considering the current situation of skyrocketing oil prices, who can really afford to drive to the store anyway? Using eCommerce, from purchasing items to home delivery, no consumer will ever have to leave their house again (except, perhaps, for groceries).
Sourcing, Outsourcing and Beyond
The concept of perfect information was a concept in my college Econ 101 course I could never quite get my head around. How realistic, I thought, is it to assume each consumer be perfectly aware of the price of every commodity before they purchase it? For long long ago-in the real world-the revenue that merchants and retailers lived from was mostly possible because of price distortion (and of course other factors such as time, distance, convenience and loads of marketing). I also thought that, before the digital age, that assume consumers had access to perfect information also meant that one had to assume that they had an infinite supply of time to hunt down that information. But, for all my doubts, and with the proliferation of the Internet and ecommerce, I'm starting to believe that concept of perfect information isn't such a far-fetched concept after all.
As Thomas L. Friedman mentions in this best-selling book The World is Flat, that globalization and information technology is causing the world to, in his words, flatten and shrink. Outsourcing, everything from software testing to doing tax returns, has become common place. As heavy industries and manufacturing continues to move to the developing countries and corners of the world with cheaper resources, developed nations will have to hone in on areas where they still have a comparative advantage in. On a smaller scale, the profit margins of retailers are being squeezed by the proliferating of the Internet and the accessibility of up-to-date information on commodity prices. However, it is through these same channels that they will be able access better prices, a larger variety of products and the newest available products. In this digital future, what retailer will be able to live without eCommerce?

"We are blink-182 -- and Travis (Barker)!"
Singer-bassist Mark Hoppus shouted out this introduction a moment after blink-182 completed its breakneck version of "Dumpweed," midway through the Poway-bred pop-pink trio's rousing Thursday night concert at Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre.
Singling out Barker for attention and praise was a savvy move, one that Hoppus and blink singer-guitarist Tom DeLonge wisely repeated several times during the band's charged, 83-minute show.
A remarkable drummer whose playing is equal parts fire and finesse, body and soul, Barker constantly elevated the music Thursday with his stunning combination of pinpoint precision and thundering percussive abandon. His playing was so inspired throughout -- and charismatic and musical -- that he handily reaffirmed how a great drummer can make even a very good band sound significantly better.
For blink's first encore, which was performed sans Hoppus and DeLonge, Barker's ability to elevate the music was both literal and figurative. He played his entire five-minute drum solo while he and his drum kit rose high up, and over, the cheering audience, courtesy of an L-shaped hydraulic lift that resembled the arm of an especially large metal robot from a new sci-fi flick.
The show at Cricket was blink's first area date show since a 2009 reunion gig at the same Chula Vista venue, following a four-year hiatus that saw DeLonge form his own band, Angels&Airwaves, and Hoppus and Barker re-group in a band of their own, (+44). Thursday's attendance of 13,300 was about 6,000 fewer than at blink's sold-out 2009 Cricket concert, but the Thursday performance was superior by far.
Two years ago, blink's members sounded similarly energetic but comparatively tentative, as they rebuilt their personal and on-stage rapport. The absence of any new songs at the time gave the 2009 show a decidedly nostalgic flavor, which captured the group's past well enough but offered little sense of the future.
Now, armed with a potent new album, "Neighborhoods" -- on which the band sounds older, wiser and markedly more ambitious -- blink has returned with renewed vigor and purpose. The band performed two songs Thursday from "Neighborhoods," its first album of new music since 2003. Those songs, "After Midnight" and the synth-tinged "Ghost On The Dance Floor," were the only ones the wildly enthusiastic audience did not sing along to, if only because fans probably haven't had time yet to memorize the lyrics from the week-old album.
Both new songs succeeded in blending the darker, more moody art-rock tone that Delonge has explored in Angels&Airwaves, but without sacrificing the high-octane attack that makes blink's music such a visceral experience. The three band members clearly enjoyed the opportunity to stretch into new terrain and to revisit songs from 2003's "Blink-182," the group's first album to suggest adolescent angst and middle-age melancholia could be successfully fused, with no loss of amped-up suburban punk fury in the process.
Accordingly, some of the concert's best moments came with charged versions of songs from "blink-182," most notably "Down," "Feeling This," "Violence," "I Miss You" and "Always." The band performed with equal ebullience on such older gems as "What's My Age Again" and "All the Small Things."
Even with its members now approaching middle-age, there was no lack of the proudly juvenile stage patter that has long been a blink concert mainstay. Masturbation jokes and other sexual references? Check. A stream of snarky profanities that suggested a raucous recess at a middle school playground? Check. An amusing musical quotation by Hoppus, on unaccompanied bass, of the children's song "Three Little Fishies?" Um, check.
"We're doing (expletive) that you can't understand -- so sexual that you don't even know what it is!" a giddy DeLonge told the crowd, after blink's especially hyperactive version of "Violence."
A few minutes later he sang an unprintable (well, at least here) blink concert favorite. A country-folk ballad that lasted less than a minute, it might politely be described as a song in which a man lusts, in very specific terms, for a canine companion. As much of the audience did for much of the show, many fans gleefully sang along, word for word.
"I've been waiting 10 years to see these guys. I really got into them when I was in the fifth grade," said Tomas Stonehouse, 20, a third-year cognitive science major at UCSD.
"I was so bummed when they broke up. It was the worst. But this concert is fantastic."

This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/886,009 filed Jun. 30, 1997, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,041,413.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates in general to a power supply controller for a computer system and, in particular, to a secure power controller for a computer system.
2. Description of Related Art
In typical microprocessor-based personal computer or workstation systems, simple mechanical on/off contact switches are used to supply or cut-off electrical power to the power supply unit of the computer systems. When the mechanical contact switch is turned on, the closed-circuit switch supplies electrical power, such as 110V AC, to the power supply circuitry which converts the AC power into the appropriate DC power. With a steady supply of all the necessary DC power, the computer system initiates its start-up sequence, and the system boots up. These mechanical contact switches are turned on and off by a human. Many computer systems have no other means to turn power-on or -off.
Many of these systems have no security. Once the main power switch is switched and maintained on, the system starts a sequence of operations. If no effective password control scheme is incorporated at either the system firmware or the operating system level, once powered up, the entire system, together with all its data, is exposed to anyone having access to the system.
Models of the Macintosh series of personal computer systems manufactured by Apple Computer Inc. of Cupertino, Calif. employ a designated key on the keyboard to control powering up and down. Though convenient, this keyboard also lacks effective security. Once a system has its power cord connected in the utility socket, anyone who can get access to the computer by depressing the power up key on the keyboard. Firmware and/or operating system level program routines similar to those mentioned above would have to be used to provide access restriction for these computer systems.
On the other hand, the ATX standard computer motherboard includes a power supply subsystem that does not rely on the simple mechanical contact switch. Instead, the ATX implements a form of soft power control under supervision of a circuitry integrated in the computer system itself. It provides power for basic power management circuitry in the computer system when the main power supply is cut off. The power management circuitry may be programmed to implement various functions of the computer system. For instance, the system can be programmed to start itself automatically at midnight when unattended by an operator so as to send international facsimile transmissions during a discount rate time period of the telephone company. The computer system also may be awakened in the evening by incoming requests for remote modem connection in order to receive file transmissions.
However, such concepts of soft power management as implemented by recent standards such as ATX, still lack the security measures. When a computer system adopting the ATX standard is started by a user (either authorized or not) by switching-on the main power switch, the power supply is then turned on, and the system initiates its start up sequence of operations. At this moment, anyone having direct access to the system has access to the data contained in the computer. Such systems are as unprotected as were the earlier generation of computers having a mechanical main power switch.
Some conventional computer systems are equipped with a firmware or operating system-level security system that requires a password for entry after the computer is powered up. Typically, the user can try a limited number of times to enter the password. If after the specified times of trial, the user still does not enter the correct password, the system simply locks and ignores all keyboard or other inputs. In this case, the user will have to turn off the power to the computer system and then turn it back on again and try entering more passwords. This process of power-on and -off must be performed repeatedly before the correct password is entered if a user wishes to keep trying to break into the system. During this process of repeated switching-on and -off of the main power supply, the computer system is exposed to increased possibilities of premature failure.
FIG. 1 shows a conventional mouse controller interface 12 that acts as an interface between the computer system motherboard 10 and its external mouse unit 20. Motherboard 10 is connected to power supply unit 30. The mouse unit 20 has a microcontroller and mouse scanning circuitry (not shown in the drawing) installed internally. Typically, serial communication is used to establish connection between the motherboard 10 of the system unit and the mouse unit 20 signals MDATA and MCLK. Signals MDATA and MCLK are used to establish a connection between the mouse unit 20 and the mouse controller 12. Power VDD and ground GND paths are also connected between the mouse controller 12 and mouse 20.
Existing microprocessor-based computer systems operate on power supply subsystems that do not allow, or at least do not recommend, repeated switching-on and -off during a short period of time. Some power supplies are equipped with protection circuitry that prevents them from powering-on within a specified time period of, for example, a few seconds after being turned off. Though circuit boards in a computer system can thus be protected from potential damage in successive power-on and -off sessions, other components such as disk drives are not as protected. This is because spindle motors for modem hard disk drives are not designed for repeated power changes. They are designed to be turned on with power maintained for a long period of time.
It would therefore be desirable to have a security control apparatus on the computer power supply subsystem that determines whether a user is allowed access to a computer system before powering-up the computer system. This would provide security and prevent physical damage to components in the computer system due to repeated power changes.
Systems and methods consistent with the principles of the present invention address this need by providing a system that prevents a computer system from receiving power until a valid passcode is received. The system includes a mouse intercept unit for intercepting mouse signals directed to a mouse controller in the computer system when the computer power source is off. A memory stores valid passcodes used to power on the computer system. A comparator unit is configured to compare received mouse signals to the stored passcodes. A power supply control unit, connected to the comparator unit, outputs a power control signal to turn on the computer system power source when the mouse signals match the stored passcode.
One embodiment of the present invention includes a decoder for decoding received mouse signals and a buffer or state machine for processing the decoded mouse signals.
Another embodiment of the present invention includes a memory either in combination with the computer system or the security system for storing the passcodes.
Another embodiment of the present invention includes a standby power source configured to output power to the keyboard intercept unit, comparator unit, and power supply control unit when the computer power source is off.
In a further embodiment of the present invention a NAND circuit is provided to perform a logical NAND operation on a status of a switch on the main computer and the output of the comparator unit.
A method consistent with the present invention controls power-up of a power source on a computer system having a mouse connected to a mouse controller and a memory storing passcodes. The method intercepts mouse signals directed to the mouse controller when the power source is off and compares the received mouse signals to the stored passcode. A power control signal is used to turn on the power source when the mouse signals match the stored passcode.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate an embodiment of the invention and, together with the description, explain the objects, advantages, and principles of the invention. In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a simplified block diagram showing the circuit configuration of the mouse controller interfacing with a corresponding external mouse unit in a conventional computer system;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the circuit configuration employing a security control apparatus connected to the mouse controller in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the security control apparatus according to the present invention; and
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the security control apparatus in communication with the mouse controller and mouse according to the present invention.
The following detailed description of the invention refers to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numbers in different drawings identify the same or similar elements. Also, the following detailed description does not limit the invention. Instead, the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and equivalents.
Systems and methods consistent with the principles of the present invention provide a security control apparatus in combination with the typical computer system as shown in FIG. 1 to control power to the system. In one embodiment of the invention, as shown in FIG. 2, this security control apparatus 40 can be inserted between the external mouse unit 20 and the mouse controller 12 of the motherboard 10, while tapping into the signal paths connecting the two together. As illustrated, the security control apparatus 40 can be incorporated into the logic circuitry of a computer system to interact with mouse controller 12 and power supply unit 30.
Security control apparatus 40 is an independent circuit module that can intercept the mouse signals MDATA and MCLK communicated between the external mouse unit 20 and the mouse controller 12 of the computer motherboard 10. The security control apparatus 40 monitors the signal communications between the two functional blocks to see if any user has depressed a predetermined number or pattern of the buttons on mouse 20 that conforms to a valid password. The password is a predetermined stored sequence of button depressions on the mouse. An example password might include three depressions of the right mouse button followed by two of the left mouse button.
In one embodiment of the invention, when the computer is turned off, the security control apparatus 40 still maintains power-on with the power supply unit 30. The security control apparatus 40 may be powered by a standby power source, such as on the ATX motherboard, when the system is in the power-down condition. The standby power source of the ATX can provide sufficient electric current for the operation apparatus 40 in order to monitor button depressions at the mouse 20 even when the computer is turned off. The power supply unit 30 also supplies sufficient power to the external mouse unit 20 for button scanning circuitry to operate under control of the mouse microcontroller.
When a user depresses buttons on the external mouse 20 while the computer is off, the security control apparatus 40 monitors the depressed buttons and compares the sequence with a pre-stored password. If the stored password and the input button depressions match, an enabling signal is generated by the security control apparatus 40, so as to turn on the power supply unit 30, which then initiates and provides power to the entire computer system. Once the power supply unit 30 is turned on, the computer system proceeds with a normal boot up sequence. If the power supply unit 30 is on ATX power supply, a logically low-level signal sent over the PS-ON input of an ATX power supply turns on the power supply unit 30 which then powers up the computer system.
On the other hand, if the security control apparatus 40 determines that the depressed password button depressions do not match a valid passcode, the PS-ON input to the power supply 30 is kept off thereby keeping the power supply off. Therefore, any mouse entry except the correct passcode has no effect on the system and the power remains off. Regardless of how many times an intruder tries to enter a correct passcode on the external mouse unit 20, the power supply unit 30 is kept at the powered down status until a correct passcode is given. Since the power supply unit 30 is maintained in an off state, vital components of the computer system, in particular the delicate and relatively vulnerable disk subsystem, will not be repeatedly powered up and down in a rapid manner during the process of repeated passcode guessing. Potential damage to the computer components as a result of a rapid power-on and -off cycle is thereby avoided.
Security control apparatus 40 generates a control signal SW that is relayed to the mouse controller 12. When the computer system is under the power-down status, this signal allows the security control apparatus 40 to keep on intercepting the mouse signals MDATA and MCLK for monitoring the validity of any entered passcode input on the mouse 20. When the computer system is powered on successfully (i.e., via correct input of a valid passcode), the control signal SW can be used to return the normal flow of the mouse signals MDATA and MCLK to the mouse controller 12.
Security control apparatus 40 constantly monitors the button-depressing status of the external mouse unit 20 while the computer system is turned off. Standby powerline 5VSB provides power to the security control apparatus 40 while the main supply VDD for the computer is off. After the normal power-on of the computer system, power to the external mouse unit can switch from the standby power 5VSB to the master power VDD. The external mouse unit may be powered by the standby power line after the normal boot up of the computer system.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the security apparatus 40 that includes a mouse input data decoder (MDEC) 41, a first-in first-out (FIFO) buffer 42, a passcode memory 43, a compare unit 44, a mouse intercept unit 45, and a power supply control unit 46. The first-in-first-out buffer may be replaced with other known buffers. In one embodiment of the present invention the first-in-first out buffer is replace with a state machine.
The mouse intercept unit 45 generates a mouse signal intercept control signal SW based on the power-up and down condition of the computer system. Mouse intercept unit 45 is a logic circuit that generates logic signal SW with reversing logical states to represent the power-on and -off status of the computer system. When the computer system is in its powered off status, the SW signal in a first logical state is used to control the interception of the mouse signals MDATA and MCLK for monitoring. On the other hand, when the computer system is in its powered on status, the SW signal in a second logical state returns the normal mouse signal communication between the external mouse unit 20 and the mouse controller 12.
FIG. 4 illustrates a schematic diagram showing the circuitry configuration of the security control apparatus in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. The mouse intercept unit 45 intercepts the mouse signals MDATA and MCLK in order to determine whether or not a valid passcode is being entered. As shown in the drawing, the mouse controller interface 12 includes a typical microcontroller 120, which, in the typical IBM-compatible systems, may be an Intel 8042/8048 8-bit microcontroller or the equivalent. A typical mouse controller interface 12 has output ports P2 and P23 that output the mouse signals MDATA and MCLK via an open-collector buffer. In an alternative embodiment, the two open-collector buffers can be replaced by a pair of three-state buffers 121 and 122.
As illustrated in FIG. 4, the two three-state buffers 121 and 122 may be powered by the same standby power line that powers the external mouse unit 20. This is because these two buffers must remain active during the power off period.
When the computer system is powered down, mouse intercept unit 45 of the security control apparatus 40 generates a control signal SW that controls whether the three-state buffers 121 and 122 are enabled or disenabled. When enabled, buffers 121 and 122 cause the mouse intercept unit 45 to intercept the mouse signals. When disabled, buffers 121 and 122 allow mouse signals to reach mouse controller 120. The buffers 121 and 122 are enabled when the main power is turned off and disabled when the main power is turned on.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the mouse intercept unit 45 is replaced by a main 5-volt power source VDD of the power supply unit 30. The two three-state buffers 121 and 122 may be tied directly, or via a properly selected pull-up resistor.
The data decoder 41 decodes received mouse entries as represented by the mouse signals, into the standard codes used in the computer system. These converted codes, representing the entered button depressions or mouse movements, are then sent to the first-in first-out buffer (FIFO) 42 for storage in a predetermined data format to await further processing.
Passcodes are stored in the passcode memory 43. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, this passcode memory 43 may be a non-volatile random-access memory (NVRAM) device that can maintain its stored information permanently after the removal of power. Or, in the case of an IBM-compatible computer, the passcode memory 43 may also be a designated memory space in the CMOS memory used for maintaining information that records the computer system hardware configuration. In another embodiment, the passcode memory 43 may also be a simple static random-access memory (SRAM) that has a back-up battery to maintain its memory content after the computer system is powered down.
In one embodiment, comparator unit 44 generates a passcode match signal PM, when the mouse entry and the passcode match. The power supply control unit 46 generates a power supply control signal that can be used to directly interface and control the power supply unit 30 of the computer system. For instance, in the case of an ATX power supply, this generated power supply control signal may be the logically negative PS-ON signal complying to the ATX specification which may be tied directly to the PS-ON input of the ATX power supply. In the case of the ATX power supply, a logical high-level signal at the PS-ON input keeps the power supply remained at its turned off state. On the other hand, the logical low signal on the PS-ON input will activate the power supply and brings up the computer system unconditionally.
In another embodiment, further controlling signals derived from other control logic in the computer system can be relayed to the power supply control unit 46. These additional controlling signals may be used as contributing factors in the process of the generation of a power supply control signal, the PS-ON signal, depicted in FIG. 3. For example, if the computer system is equipped with a main power switch, a signal MSW, used to designate the logical on-off status of this switch, may be input to the power supply control unit 46, as shown in FIG. 3. In the case of a logically positive convention for both the passcode match PM and the main switch status MSW signals, a logical NAND operation may be implemented on the PM and MSW signals by the power supply control unit 46 to obtain a logically negative PS-ON output indicating that both a match has occurred and the power switch is on.
While the invention has been described by way of example and in terms of preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention need not be limited to the disclosed embodiments. For example, typical IBM-compatible computer systems employ a simple 8-bit microcontroller to implement the mouse interface control on the system motherboard. The typical external mouse unit used in these x86-based computers may therefore employ a microcontroller having correspondingly compatible processing capability to implement the control of the independent mouse unit. Microcontrollers at both sides of the mouse interface may be communicating to each other in a serial connection. However, other forms of communication between the two are also possible for implementation of the invention.
In addition, many modem personal computers are built around ASIC (application-specific IC) devices. The security control apparatus of the present invention may also be used with ASIC circuitry and may be included in the core logic chipsets of the computer system. Since the logic circuitry of the security control apparatus of the invention is relatively simple compared with the computer core logic, the incorporation of the inventive apparatus in the computer core logic ASIC device barely adds noticeably to the overall gate count. ASIC devices incorporating the apparatus of the invention do not add significantly to the total semiconductor fabrication cost. In addition since the security control apparatus has a relatively simple logic circuitry, minor electric power is consumed. Incorporation of the security control apparatus of the present invention is also suitable for a standby power source in power supply units such as the ATX specification.
Further, in addition to power supply unit of the ATX specification, other standards such as the NLX or PS/2, may also be used.
Finally, in another embodiment the mouse may be replaced with a keyboard on which a user enters passwords, a combination of a keyboard and a mouse on which a user enters a combination of a password and passcode, or any other computer input device that allows for entering information into a computer.
Systems and methods consistent with the principles of the present invention provide for a secure entry device that prevents a computer from powering on until a valid password is entered.
The foregoing description of preferred embodiments of the present invention provides illustration and description, but is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed. Modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teachings or may be acquired from practice of the invention. The scope of the invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.

While not billed as a Belgian sour, this red ale from Brouwerij Verhaeghe serves as a subtle introduction to the world of sour beers. While beer, for many, is an acquired taste all its own (usually acquired by-way of Keystone Light) sour ales are a procured taste even among beer lovers.
Tart, sour things with loads of fruit and more pucker, sour ales are intense. This Flemish red ale is like a tempered version of all that, with a rounded bitterness that leans comfortably into the spicy hops and overall fruitiness. A perfect primer for what is to come.

Thanks for supporting Troop 1758
To the Editor:
Girl Scout Troop 1758 of Berne-Knox-Westerlo would like to thank the wonderful American Legion of Altamont for not only letting us use its spacious facilities but also doing the tasty cooking of the chicken parmesan for our Italian dinner last week.
Thank you also to the many community members who came out to eat; we hope you had enough!
Thank you to the families who made the desserts for our overflowing dessert cart, and to Bella Napoli that donated to the cause.
Our troop of 14 teenagers is planning a big trip before graduation and this sell-out event certainly helps us get there, wherever there is! We appreciate your support! Grazie!
Maria Shafer, co-leader

It's easy to get stuck in the same old mealtime routine, especially if you're in prison. Taste freedom with this Groupon.
$25 for $50 Worth of Sushi or Japanese Hibachi Food for Dinner
The hibachi dinner menu includes grilled orders of strip steak ($24), chicken teriyaki ($20), and calamari ($18). Customers watch as chefs cook each item in full view.
Shinto Naperville
Traditional Japanese recipes and cooking styles continue to inspire the chefs at Shinto Naperville. Mushrooming bursts of flame erupt from stainless-steel hibachis as they sear diners' orders tableside. In between shuffling platefuls of scallops or 28-day-aged filet mignon across the steaming surface, the chefs entertain their hungry audience by juggling utensils, tossing small pieces of food into guests' waiting mouths, and correctly guessing everyone's least favorite astrological sign. Measured doses of house-made teriyaki sauce or herb-infused butter lend even more flavor to the carefully caramelized entrees. Meanwhile, the chefs behind the sushi bar avoid grills entirely as they roll specialty maki with premium ingredients, including tempura lobster and jalapeño.

The new meters actually will be pedestals that will accept cash and credit cards to park in a numbered spot. The first two hours of parking will be free in the two plazas, but users will have the all-important option of purchasing an unlimited amount of additional time. A three-hour appointment will no longer generate a mad dash to move the car as the second hour approaches, as long as extra time was purchased at one of the meter/pedestals.
When motorists check in at one of the six pedestals, they simply need to note their slot number and insert cash or a credit card. Similar systems are in place all over the Bay Area.
The new system will be installed at Plaza 1, at Oak Grove Avenue and El Camino Real behind the post office, and at Plaza 5, off Crane Street and Santa Cruz Avenue.
City officials expect the meters to be in place by October, well before the holiday season, which should make downtown merchants very happy. There have been many occasions when a frustrated merchant complained to city officials or the City Council about losing a customer who was livid after receiving a $35 ticket for parking one or two minutes beyond the two-hour time limit in the plazas.
One business, Boutique 4 on Santa Cruz Avenue, said it closed after five years due to aggressive parking enforcement. Tamara Michel, a co-owner of the boutique, told the Almanac, "We had many customers who refused to come downtown to shop."
It will take time for the city to decide whether to expand the pedestal program beyond the two plazas, which will cost about $60,000 to implement. But if the new system works out as hoped, the city will see some parking revenue and perhaps some additional sales tax revenue generated by customers who were not driven elsewhere to shop by the city's parking enforcement officers.

Taurus 1911 issues
A few years ago I bought a 1911 Taurus. Second time to the range the safety fell out. 8 weeks later, I got it back. Off to the range again. This time the front sight walked right and if I had been using the thing to control an intruder, I would have been shooting the victim he might have had in his right arm! I tried to sight the gun in and lock the front sight better. No luck! Back to Taurus and another eight weeks later (and after a lot of arguing about the night sights they said could not be replaced), I finally got it back. They simply slapped another slide on it. Fortunately, it had night sights, but no serial number. The slide was not fitted and was sloppy. In spite of this, the gun is reasonably accurate. And I find it to be an economical "range toy"! I do NOT keep it at bedside. And I do NOT carry the damned thing. The next time it fails, I will fix it myself. I have MINIMAL gunsmithing experience. But I can do better than the jokers they've got in Miami throwing these things together. And I can probably buy QUALITY replacement parts for what the shipping might cost to return it. Another Taurus for me??? NEVER !!!! Especially after seeing the 13% reject stats here.....WOW!

Lewis Hamilton has showed his speed since the first practice for the FIA World Championship season finale in Sao Paulo. His first goal was accomplished this afternoon on the Interlagos circuit when he nailed down the Brazilian Grand Prix pole with a flying lap of 1m12.458s; securing his final pole for the McLaren-Mercedes team.
"Pole! What a great feeling!" said the Briton. "I think we've put ourselves in a really good position. We'll make sure we do everything to get the top result."
Hamilton now has 26 poles with the team he will say goodbye to before he moves to the Mercedes works team next year. Hamilton added, "We haven't had a one-two in a race for quite a long time [Canada 2010], so it would be a great positive for the team if we could achieve it tomorrow. It would be my perfect farewell, in fact."
Jenson Button was second fastest in the final qualifying round in 2012. Handing McLaren the front row, Button's best lap was a 1m12.513s; 0.055 seconds behind his teammate. It was the fourth time this season that the McLaren drivers were one-two in qualifying.
"It's great for us to both be on the front row, especially as its Lewis's last grand prix for the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team. I'm happy with qualifying. From the front row, you always hope you're going to drive a calm and orderly race – but it looks like it's going to rain tomorrow, so that may make things rather less predictable," said Button.
The good news for the defending two-time champion is his main rival for this year's crown is in starting from the fourth row in eighth with a lap time of 1m13.253s; nearly eight-tenths off the time of Hamilton.
On a positive note, Vettel added, "We're in good shape and have been quick all weekend, so let's see what we can do in the race – we will try to do our best."
Fernando Alonso gave it his best in his Scuderia Ferrari, but did not have the speed, and if he does what he did in the first US Grand Prix in Austin, the Spaniard will definitely be in the hunt for his third title. He is 13 points behind Vettel.
"I think I did a good qualifying and, given how the last few races have gone, my chances of making it to the podium are still intact," said Alonso who added, "That will be my objective because I know that, at least under normal circumstances, we are not in with a chance of fighting for the win."
In changing conditions, the field took to the historic circuit for the first segment where they had challenges due to a wet track in numerous places. Cars tip-toed and danced their way onto the main straight, but as the track dried and tires warmed the lap times fell, and fell fast.
Webber did not express any intention of letting his teammate by to aid in his championship drive. "I think that we focus on ourselves tomorrow and do the best race I can," he said. "We know there may be some tricky weather tomorrow. It's a long grand prix so I'll be focusing 100 percent of my efforts on my cockpit and getting to the finish line as quickly as possible."
Williams' Pastor Maldonado came in sixth with a time of 1m13.174s. "I'm happy with the qualifying result today. Q1 was a bit close at the end because of the traffic, but the car felt good," he said.
Nico Hulkenberg, the surprise 2010 pole sitter, drove his Sahara Force India to seventh place with a 1m13.206s, which is more than 1.2s faster than his pole lap of two years ago.
Lotus' Kimi Raikkonen will start ninth after turning a lap time of 1m13.298s.
Mercedes' Nico Rosberg rounded out the top 10 with a 1m13.498s lap time. His teammate Michael Schumacher failed to reach Q3 in his final Formula 1 qualifying session. He said is running a full-wet set up based on Sunday's forecast.
Lotus' Romain Grosjean also qualified lower than expected. He failed to make it out of Q1 after an incident in the final turn, which cost him a front wing and valuable time on a drying track.

Interest of Bone Substitute Material in Immediate Complete Denture (PANORAMIX)

- How to Read a Study Record
More than 2 million French people suffer from the widespread disability of edentulism, with large consequences on function, nutrition, aesthetics and well-being. Complete denture is a common therapeutic strategy.
The immediate complete denture technique consists in placing the denture in the same clinical session as last anterior teeth extractions. With this technique, aesthetic and function are immediately reintroduced and the patient is never left toothless or without any denture.
After teeth extractions, alveolar healing process leads to ridge resorption with bone volume modifications and reduction in height and width.
However ridge bone volume is an essential factor in removable denture stability. With implantology as an alternative prosthetic strategy, ridge volume is also a most important factor to place dental implants in a situation close to previous dental roots position. In order to preserve bone volume, a current alternative strategy proposes to place bone substitute materials in tooth sockets after extraction. This strategy was never evaluated with the immediate complete denture technique.
Hypothesis: A new strategy associating immediate complete denture and bone substitute material is more effective than conventional immediate complete denture in a bone preservation perspective.
