Just because you train hard doesn't mean that you want to spend every last dollar on recovery pieces. Thankfully, though, 2XU understands that your training shouldn't be compromised by cost, which is why it its Compression Tights provide a dependable level of compression without breaking the bank. The 2XU Compression tights are nearly identical in every regard to the higher-dollar Elite Compression tights, only with one difference real difference: The Elite version is made with 70 Denier fabric at the calves and hamstrings, and 50 Denier everywhere else. In comparison, the standard Compression tights use 50 Denier fabric throughout. And given that most cyclists have their worst soreness in their quadriceps, paying more for extra compression in areas of secondary consequence might not make sense. Just like the Elite, these Compression tights feature flatlock stitching throughout their construction in order to prevent seams from abrading your skin. Additionally, the graduated fit at the calves give you the perfect amount of compression without over-squeezing your legs as they taper down to the ankle. You'll also find that 2XU's circular knit construction method provides compression in all directions of the fabric (not just in the up-and-down and side-to-side manner of most four-way stretch fabrics). As a result, you'll receive increased blood circulation, improved venous return, and decreased muscle damage and fatigue caused by intense training. The 2XU Compression Tights are available in the color Black and in seven sizes from X-Small to XXX-Large. There are also Small/tall, Medium/tall, and Large/tall fit options.

When contacted for a reaction, Singh said he has nothing to say as former Law Minister H R Bhardwaj has already clarified the issue.
Bharadwaj earlier insisted that no "undue favours" were given to the judge because proper procedure was followed.
"So far as political threats to a coalition government is concerned there were always pressure(from allies) on appointment of judges which I never yielded," he said.
Meanwhile, close aides of the former Prime Minister asserted that nobody approached Singh at airport at any time during departure or arrival from a foreign visit as stated by Katju.
They said that there was, in fact, no scope for such a meeting at the airport as the then Prime Minister would get down from his car just next to the aircraft Air India One before boarding it.
Bhardwaj said records will prove that during his tenure as Law Minister in UPA I, the judiciary was fully insulated and whatever appointments were made have been outstanding.
Rejecting that government was pressurised on the issue, he said "there is no question of pressurising me. Yes, 18 MPs came including their Minister of State.
"They said injustice is being done to this person who was from the Scheduled Caste and our people are very angry with it. I said I cannot decide it, it will be decided by the Chief Justice of India."
He said the MPs wanted the additional judge to be elevated as a permanent judge. "Their views were sent to the CJI and he decided not to confirm him (as permanent judge) straightaway. He said he will hold a discreet inquiry and after that it will be decided," he said.

NEW ORLEANS — As if Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick didn't have enough problems Monday, he also had to address a controversy involving his brother Marcus after a 28-13 loss to New Orleans at the Superdome.
During the first quarter, Marcus Vick wrote on his Twitter account (MV5) that he wanted his brother traded.
"Please trade my brother," the message said. "We requesting out of Philly!!!! Please please please. ..."
The message was removed during the first half.
After the game, Michael Vick quickly responded that he did not want to be traded.
"That's something I'm going to have to address (with Marcus) once I leave here," Vick said. "We're out here fighting as hard as we can, giving it everything we've got. (A trade request) is certainly not the case. I love each and every guy in that locker room."
Tapp stays home
Defensive end Darryl Tapp did not make the trip with the rest of the team.
Tapp, whose 23 tackles are the most among the team's defensive ends, stayed in Philadelphia to be with his wife, Tiffany, who is expecting the couple's first child.
The Eagles did not activate rookie defensive end Vinny Curry to take his spot. Curry, the Eagles' second-round draft pick, has been inactive for every game this season. Instead, they opted to play one less defensive end and activate veteran defensive tackle Mike Patterson.
Patterson made his regular-season debut against the Saints in the second quarter after being inactive for the first seven games while recovering from offseason brain surgery.
Patterson, the Eagles' first-round draft pick in 2005, underwent surgery in the offseason to repair of blood vessels known as an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in his brain that caused him to suffer a seizure during training camp in 2011. The 29-year-old played in 15 games last season, registering 66 tackles and two and a half sacks. He underwent a six-hour operation on Jan. 26 and was eventually placed on the reserve/non-football injury list because the incision in his skull had not sufficiently healed.
Patterson only played a few snaps against the Saints but should see his playing time increase over the second half of the season. When healthy, the 6-foot-1, 309-pounder is regarded as the team's best run-stopping defensive linemen and also has 151/2 career sacks.
Kelly replaces Watkins
Guard Danny Watkins may have regained his starting job without even playing Monday.
Watkins, the Eagles' first-round draft pick last year, missed his second straight game against the Saints because of a chronic ankle injury. Even before the problem first materialized last week, he had not been playing well.
But rookie Dennis Kelly got off to a terrible start against the Saints. After turning in a solid performance in Watkins' right guard spot a week ago against Atlanta, he whiffed on two blocks during the Eagles' opening drive.
Kelly, a sixth-round draft pick out of Purdue University, had very limited experience at guard.
Prior to playing every snap against the Falcons, his only playing time at that position was during a preseason game against Pittsburgh.
He was a tight end in high school and played exclusively at left tackle for the Boilermakers.
He was the Eagles' backup right tackle for the first six games this season.
At 6-feet-8 and 321 pounds, Kelly had to develop a bend-but-don't-break style when he moved to guard.
Because of his height, he had to work on staying low as much as possible so as not to interfere with 6-foot quarterback Michael Vick's passing
Payton to be free agent?
Saints coach Sean Payton, a former Eagles assistant coach, was suspended for the entire season by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for his role in the team's "Bounty-Gate" scandal. ESPN, Yahoo Sports and Fox Sports all reported Sunday that Payton's contract will be voided at the end of the season and could become a free-agent coach, though he indicated to Fox's Jay Glazer that he intends to stay with the Saints.
If he doesn't, the Eagles were mentioned as one of the teams who could be interested should Reid get fired or leave after this season. The Eagles entered Monday's game at 3-4. Owner Jeffrey Lurie stated before the season that another mediocre performance like last season's 8-8 record would not be acceptable.
Payton served as the Eagles' quarterbacks coach under then-head coach Ray Rhodes in 1997-98.
The Saints entered Monday's game 2-5 without him, but interim coach Joe Vitt, who was the Eagles' linebackers coach under Rhodes from 1995-98, refused to use his absence or the other distractions as an excuse for the team's lousy start.
Lineup changes
In addition to Curry, Tapp and Watkins, the Eagles' inactive list included safety Nate Allen, who was deactivated after suffering a strained hamstring last week against Atlanta.
Safety David Sims, who was acquired in a trade with Cleveland just before the regular season, took Allen's spot in the starting lineup.
Sims had played exclusively on special teams in the first seven games.
He was promoted ahead of Colt Anderson.
Out of action
Other inactives: quarterback Trent Edwards, wide receiver Mardy Gilyard and guard Nate Menkin.
Bumps and bruises
Eagles right tackle Todd Herremans left the game and was carted to the locker room near the end of the first quarter with a foot/ankle injury. Demetress Bell replaced him.
Up ahead
The Eagles start the second half of their regular season next Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys (3-5) at Lincoln Financial Field.
The Cowboys lead the series 59-47, but the Eagles have won three of the last four meetings. The Eagles swept the Cowboys last season by a combined score of 54-14.

" Brand: Garnier / Texture: Cream / Type: Day Cream / Subcategory: Face Cream / Skin type: for dry skin and for all types / Product line: Garnier Soft Essentials "
As soon as the cooler weather comes my skin takes a rapid decline going from normal to dry. Therefore, I do have to change the products I use which are more suited to dry skin sufferers in a bid to keep it at bay and try and keep my skin looking as healthy as possible. There are of course a number of products on the market that claim to help dry skin but not a lot actually work I have found.
One brand I quite like is Garnier. I have used a few of their skincare products over the years and have been quite happy with the results. A few months back in Morrisons they had a massive price reduction across Garnier so I stocked up ready for the colder months and one of those items I bought was the Garnier Soft Essentials Replenishing Day Care moisturising cream.
== The Cream ==
The Garnier Soft Essentials Replenishing Day Care moisturising cream is part of the 'Soft Essentials' range and this range has been specifically created to soothe the skin whilst protecting and moisturising it as well as being incredibly gentle and therefore ideal for those who suffer with sensitive and dry skin. The Day Care cream is a day cream and suitable after the cleansing and toning process.
== Packaging ==
The cream itself comes in a small square cardboard box which features the Garnier logo all with a soft pink theme (the Soft Essentials range's packaging is pink coloured). The cream comes in a small pink glass jar with a white screw on plastic top. There is information about the product and how to use it is on the box as well as a list of the ingredients used and contact information for Garnier.
== In Use ==
The cream itself is a lovely white cream which has is incredibly soft and velvety to the touch. It has quite a decent consistency, thick enough for you to hold the jar upside down and for the cream to stay in place yet soft and delicate enough to apply directly from the jar to your face. I always apply this cream after I have toned and cleansed in the morning and at night after the same routine.
I love the fragrance of this cream, even though it is suited for those with sensitive skin it doesn't have a highly perfumed aroma but it does have a lovely soft, mild floral aroma which is really lovely and does stay on the skin for quite some time after applying the cream.
The cream is incredibly lightweight and when applied directly onto my skin it really does melt upon contact and absorbs almost easily. It really doesn't take much for it sink into the skin which is great. You only need to use a small amount each time you apply as I think by using too much I don't think it would absorb as easily either that or it would leave a residue behind which is not something you really want.
I do find that although this cream absorbs easily and quickly into the skin you can still feel the cream on your face hours later (if you haven't applied make up) and although it isn't sticky residue type feeling it does instead feel incredibly soft but it is nice to feel that the cream is still there and must be doing something rather than just absorbing and doing nothing. It is classed as a lightweight cream and it definitely is. There is nothing heavy or clogging about it whatsoever.
I have been using this cream for about a month now as I noticed a few dry patches appearing slightly and wanted to nip them in the bud. This cream has not only helped keep the dryness at bay but it has also helped my skin to look healthy rather than a bit dull as it can do sometimes in the winter but instead my skin looks healthy, soft and nourished which is of course the result I was wanting. Even better, because you only use a small amount per application one jar will actually last for quite some time.
== Overall ==
This is a great day cream which absorbs easily and quickly into the skin and you can definitely see a difference in the skin. The cream certainly cares for my skin, it is ideal for those with sensitive skin as it doesn't irritate; instead it soothes and protects and leaves a lovely subtle floral fragrance too so even better. For me, this cream was a bargain buy but I would definitely be happy to pay full price for this lightweight little beauty.

Brand: Garnier
Price: £4.50 +
Availability: Boots, supermarkets etc
I liked this moisturiser at first and the main reason for that is that you do not need much of it at all to make your skin feel hydrated, and I have combination skin which is usually quite dry. However, over the summer I've been taking part in a lot of strenuous exercise and, if you lead the type of life where you're always moving about, it's not the right product at all because if you get hot, it kind of melts? If that makes sense? Like, you touch your face and you can feel it on the surface of your face still. It doesn't sink in at all, which I assume is mainly due to it being so runny. I've just switched to Clarins Daily Energizer Lotion - sinks in perfectly and you only need a tiny bit. Hell of a lot more money but so worth it.
Yeah, this moisturiser wasn't for me. I would not recommend it to anybody who exercises and sweats frequently.
Most people underestimate the importance of a good day cream. As I need to moisturise before applying foundation, it is really important that the moisturiser isn't too heavy or the cause of oily skin. It has been a hard task finding a moisturiser tha accomplishes this, as I find oil free moisturisers as too drying.
I have used garnier face washes in the past, but never tried the moisturisers. The garnier soft essentials range is aimed at users with dry skin. Garnier also have other ranges for different skin types. L
The day cream comes in a card box with the tub inside. It is £5.99 in Boots, which is a little pricey, but not the priciest day cream by far. The packaging had lots of information on which helped me to decide whether the product was right for me.
The key benefits of garnier soft essentials day cream are:
Ideal for dry skin prone to dry patches.
Provides skin protection by using vitamins and uv filters.
A light cream that hydrates without leaving skin greasy.
A subtle fruity fragrance to leave skin smelling clean and fresh.
I use this moisturiser once a day before applying makeup. I applied a small amount of cream by dotting it on my cheeks, chin, nose and forehead and messaging in. It spreads easily and is absorbed quickly. You have to be careful not to apply too much as it will make skin greasy and is unecessary. It definitely softens skin and hydrates reasonably well. I have found that even with makeup my skin does not get greasy during the course of the day. Due to the fact you only need a small amount of product , this tub will last ages. It usually lasts me three months maximum. I really like the fragrance too as it is quite subtle. My skin is also less prone to,dryness with regular use, I can sometimes skip a day without moisturising and not have any dryness. It would be nice if garnier made this,product in larger tubs. I can't wait to try out this product with the garnier soft essentials range.
After complaining about my dry and horrible skin, my mother went out and bought me this moisturiser. I have tried many different to make my skin healthier and look nicer, but I have found that many just ended up making my skin too oily and others... well I might have just as well rub mud on my face!
So seeing that she bought me this Garnier, moisturiser I felt hopeful that this was going to be a decent product. And after using this product for around, just three weeks I am happy to report that it has very much improved the look of my skin.
The pot that I have has 50ml in it and while it does not sound like a lot of product, trust me you do not need a lot of this wonderful product. On the back of the tub it says, "Replenishing day care, Vitamin enriched." The container itself is pink in colour and has a while lid. I have to say, while it is not a great importance, I do really like the look of this product!
Now I don't know about anyone else, but when I'm slathering anything on my face, it is important that it smells nice. And this product certainly does! It reminds me of sun cream and a sweet smelling one at that!
The product its self, is super easy to apply to the skin and I found that it is easily absorbed into the skin. I found this very important as I hate when some moisturisers take around half a day to anyway dry into your skin.
I have found that this product has improved my skin incredibly and I have now made it one of my key products in my skin car routine. Sometimes I think that the brand Garnier can be built up to be something it's not, where some of its products are concerned. But this is one product that I could very well see myself using for quite a while.
This vitamin enriched day cream keeps skin soft and hydrated. I only purchased this product for the first time recently and found that it was good value for money; at £5.50 I was really pleased with the results. I have a mixed dry and oily complexion and I found that this product helped to hydrate dry areas whilst making oily areas soft without producing a greasy affect, like many other day creams on the market. The cream has a light creamy texture, and has a pleasant rose fragrance. It also comes in attractive, girly pink packaging. Due to its small size it can be transported easily in your handbag or overnight bag. The only downfall with the product is that due to the pots small 50ml size, if used regularly it does not last long, and I found it had to quickly be replaced. This however was not too problematic due to the fairly low cost price.
This is one of the many products I have tried in the quest to find the perfect moisturiser for a decent price. The thing that attracted me to this one was the packaging, it's very girly and pink and looks nice on your dressing table. At the time I was also using other Garnier products so I thought it made sense to have everything in the same range, although I'm not sure this makes any difference in terms of the condition of my skin.
The cream itself has a slight hint of pink colour, and also smells a bit rose-like which I'm not sure is what anyone wants their face to smell of but it's not hugely unpleasant and is quite subtle.
The moisturiser comes in a tub which costs between £4 to £5 depending on where you shop. It lasts a good few months because you don't need an awful lot of it as it spreads really well. I like the tub it comes in because you can control how much of the cream you use and you're never left in a position where too much cream has come out of the tube and gets wasted.
The consistency of this cream is nice because it feels thick enough to be doing your skin some good, but not so thick that it feels uncomfortable. It spreads easily and absorbs fairly quickly, so you don't have to wait too long before putting make-up on. I would advise putting make-up on after using it because it leaves your face quite shiny without.
I didn't notice a huge difference in the condition of my skin after using this product, but having said that I have quite dry skin and this seemed to do the trick in keeping in moisturised and not leaving it flaky or dry. I think my skin is the kind of skin that doesn't look visibly improved but you only notice products when they're bad because they make my skin look dry and dull.
I think this is a very good value product, and if you suffer from dry skin it does the trick. The only offputting thing for me is the scent, but only because I'm not a big fan of scented face products. It's a bit middle of the road but it does work so is worth a chance if you see it on offer.
Once again on my quest to find a good moisturiser for my skin, keeping it moistured but also not making it greasy, congested or having a "bobbly" effect, by this meaning when you run your hand over your face the moisturiser rolls off which drives me mad.
Garnier is not a make i usually use but my gran has been using this for years and has no wrinkles so I thought I might give it a go and fight my skin early!
It is available in boots for £5.50 and get 20 points, not the cheapest for moisturiser but also isn't the most expensive.
It is a moisturser that is for dry skin and can be used on sensitive skin, it says it hydrates for 24 hours and has vitamin E and a UV filter to protect your skin from the sun.
It has a slight flowery smell to it not too strong so its not got lots of perfume in it.
It comes in a small cardboard box which is pink/white and has information about the product. The moisturiser comes in a baby pink tub with a white screw top lid, the moisturiser itself is white and has a good consistency is quite light when applying so you can easily apply more without it ending up too thick.
When applying the moisturiser put it over dry areas or all over your face and rub in, since its quite thin it wont take much to rub it in and takes effect to your skin quite quickly in terms of dryness because it absorbs in quite fast but also does not leave your skin feeling tight.
You can apply make up on top if it - as long as its dry.
I'm happy with this moisturiser as I have combination skin so I need a moisturiser to balance the two out evenly, I'm not sure about the 24 hour claim I don't feel the need to reapply it throughout the day but on the occasional time I will reapply once or twice depending on how dry my skin is.
Since starting using if used on a daily basis my skin has improved and feels much more hydrated and even the tone of my skin looks much better.
I think the price is reasonable for the quality of this, you can also buy this in a cream wash for £2.50 in Superdrug.
I have really dry skin and so a good moisturiser is essential for me. Unfortunately I have never found the perfect face cream for me, there always seems to be one problem or another with the ones I've tried, so my search continues. For the past few months I have been using Garnier Skin Naturals Soft Essentials Day Cream. The reason I bought this is that when browsing the different options in Boots I noticed this one was especially for dry and sensitive skin (I have eczema, and although it's not currently on my face it is around my ears), and it was in my price range at the time. I also tried testing a few different creams by rubbing them into the back of my hand and I liked the way this one felt the best.
Although I'm quite a beauty product junkie at times I must admit the Garnier brand is not one I am overly familiar with. I did use one of their eye make up removers a few months back, but other than that I can't really recall having used many of their products.
This particular moisturiser or 'day cream' contains rose water to soothe and soften the skin, vitamin E which is an anti-oxidant and also Shea butter which is moisturising and nourishing. They say it will hydrate the skin for 24 hours and protect skin against 'external aggressions' although it doesn't seem to clarify what external aggressions in particular it protects from.
The product comes in a cardboard box which is quite unnecessary packaging, although it does contain some information about the cream. The face cream itself comes in a baby pink coloured plastic tub with a white screw top lid. It's fairly basic but I really like it as it's sturdy and not too fussy.
I really like the smell of this cream, it has a rose scent to it which is very soft and gentle and is not too heavily perfumed.
The cream itself is white and although it's not runny exactly, it's quite a thin consistency and therefore quite light on the skin. To be honest when I first started using it I was slightly concerned that it wasn't going to be particularly moisturising enough because of the consistency and the fact my skin is particularly dry.
When applied to the skin I find that the thin consistency means that it spreads across the skin quite easily, so you only need to use a small amount at any one time. It doesn't take a huge amount of rubbing in, which means it can be applied quickly, great for when I'm short on time.
One of the most important things I want from a face cream is for it to absorb into my skin quickly. I've used so many creams in the past that don't sink into the skin very quickly, or leave a greasy film on my skin which I absolutely hate. This one, thankfully absorbs really quickly - I'd say 30 seconds although I've never been sad enough to time it! I like that it it's quick as I don't have a huge amount of times in the mornings and it means I don't have to wait ages before applying my make up.
Once it's on the skin it doesn't leave my skin greasy at all, although I can feel that my skin is more hydrated to the touch. Saying that it is also soft as well and feels more supple. I'm not 100% convinced by the claims that the effects of this cream last for 24 hours but since I began using it a few months ago I've never felt the need to reapply it throughout the day. It also doesn't seem to irritate my sensitive skin, and I even use it on the eczema behind my ear to stop it being so dry and flaky, and it seems to hydrate it and stop me itching so much.
My skin does look brighter than normal when using this, but I think that's just because it is more hydrated. It doesn't leave my skin with any shiny or oily looking patches either which is something I've had from other creams in the past.
One negative thing about the cream is that it doesn't contain any SPF. I have very pale skin and I have already been sunburnt on my face quite badly when I was younger (due to my own stupidity) and so I do need to take care in the sun. During the summer I stopped using it completely and started using a special facial sun cream to protect my skin instead.
I paid £4.99 for this in Boots, and I believe that is the recommended price for it. Having just had a quick look online I've found that Superdrug charge only £3.99. I find both of these prices pretty reasonable to be honest and I think that around the £5 mark is what it is worth.
It comes in a 50ml tub, and I've found that even with regular use this has lasted me well, as it spreads across the skin very well meaning only a small amount is required per use.
In conclusion, I really like this cream. It leaves my skin soft and hydrated, smells lovely and is reasonably priced. I would buy it again, but if I'm completely honest the fact it has no SPF is a big negative point for me, so I will try to find a cream with SPF when this one runs out.

A Juneau grand jury issued four indictments on Friday.
• Martin C. Goldberg and Drew D. Baltzell, both 19, were each indicted on one count of first-degree vehicle theft for allegedly stealing a vehicle on March 10 in Haines.
That's a class 'C' felony that can be punishable by up to five years in prison.
• Hugo A. Vanegas, 32, was indicted on one count of second-degree assault and one count of third-degree assault in connection to an assault on April 28 in Juneau.
The former offense is a class 'B' punishable by up to 10 years in prison, and the latter offense is a class 'C' felony.
• Judah A. Aldrighette, 21, was indicted on one count of failure to stop at direction of peace office in the first degree. That's a class 'C' felony.
Police said in an earlier release that Aldrighette blew through a stop sign on May 6 and sped off toward Egan Drive, leading police in pursuit. When police caught up to him a few minutes later, they discovered he was involved in a hit-and-run earlier that morning, according to police.
He is facing a misdemeanor charge in connection to the hit-and-run, according to court documents.
• Frank H. Miller, 49, was indicted on one count of felony driving while under the influence. That's a 'C' felony.
The indictment alleges he drove drunk in Juneau on May 8 while having two or more prior convictions within the past 10 years.
Indictments are formal accusations of illegal activity, and they are not indicative of guilt. The District Attorney's Office in Juneau presents cases to the grand jury each Friday.
• Contact reporter Emily Russo Miller at 523-2263 or at email@example.com.

3 weeks ago I had Ulthera that was followed by Juvederm on upper cheeks and under eyes. Now my right cheek has lump which is noticable and my right eye looks smaller and lazy.
Can I Do Juvederm Immediately After Ulthera Treatment?
Doctor Answers 2
Juvederm™ is safe after a skin tightening procedure.
It is perfectly safe to have filler done after a skin tightening procedure and they compliment each other well. The technique of the injector is a huge part of the outcome and results of filler. It is common and normal to feel small lumps or bumps under the skin post-filler but if the lump is visibly noticeable and is affecting your eye you may want to go back to your doctor to see if they can correct it.
Ulthera and Facial Fillers
I have perfored many Ultherapy procedures and set the 'ground rules' for patients during the consultation - 1) I do not perform the Ultherapy if the patient has had facial fillers in the area within 8 months, 2) wait at least 2 weeks AFTER the Ultherapy for facial fillers. Ultherapy can cause some erythema on the dermis and you want all this inflammation go away before fillers are inected.

Where are Labour's Big Donations?
Labour are an embarrassment of a party, with a dud leader, dud policies and they are absolutely flat broke.
Moira Coatsworth said as much when she told the world that they weren't going to campaign with billboards or signs, instead they were going to use social media, hashtags and some flash American software the Republican party uses.
Political parties cannot survive without money.
Labour has been a special kind of stupid in having a series of party people that have been dead set useless at fundraising. Chris Flatt, Andrew Little, Tim Barnett and Moira Coatsworth have left the party broke because they don't raise any money.
Fundraising is the lifeblood of a political party. Read more »

default Keyword in Generic Code (C# Programming Guide)
In generic classes and methods, one issue that arises is how to assign a default value to a parameterized type T when you do not know the following in advance:
Whether T will be a reference type or a value type.
If T is a value type, whether it will be a numeric value or a struct.
Given a variable t of a parameterized type T, the statement t = null is only valid if T is a reference type and t = 0 will only work for numeric value types but not for structs. The solution is to use the default keyword, which will return null for reference types and zero for numeric value types. For structs, it will return each member of the struct initialized to zero or null depending on whether they are value or reference types. The following example from the
GenericList<T> class shows how to use the default keyword. For more information, see Generics Overview.
public class GenericList<T> { private class Node { //... public Node Next; public T Data; } private Node head; //... public T GetNext() { T temp = default(T); Node current = head; if (current != null) { temp = current.Data; current = current.Next; } return temp; } }

Love You (Not) Live: More About Bands Not To See Onstage
If you haven't seen it, the A.V. Club has an article up today called "Bands you love, but wouldn't see live" that's well worth your time. In it, a handful of writers each confront what is at heart a personal question with their own personal approaches, revealing their histories, biases and, in some cases, worldviews.
The question at the core is one that I have to consider all the time in the course of my duties as a concert reviewer (for the Boston Globe). When I'm sent to a show, my job isn't to review a preexisting catalogue of recordings, it's to review the event in front of me. There's a (usually) necessary disconnect between what happens in the studio and what happens on stage. Just as a band whose energy gets sucked out when cleaned up for a CD can often catch fire when there's no filter between them and a crowd, there are plenty of acts who rely on the luxury of retakes and editing and fall flat in performance or whose music doesn't lend itself to a live setting.
The A.V. Club is looking at those latter bands. It's a great piece. And I say that even though I'm not sure it doesn't let the participants get away with avoiding the actual question.
That's an observation, not an accusation. The piece is a lively discussion about the things that give people pause when deciding whether to spend time and money on a live performance. It's a worthwhile topic, one that offers plenty of food for thought. But there are a couple of recurring themes to the answers that seem, in a way, like cheating, just a little bit.
"I don't like concerts anyway." Claire Zulkey admits, "I haven't been a concert person for some time now," while Kenny Herzog says, "At this point, I don't really like to see any music live." If that's the case, though, this isn't an issue specific to Madonna (who was Zulkey's choice) or the Prodigy (Herzog). Interestingly, Zulkey admits that she could be enticed for the right price (a free skybox ticket), while Herzog touches on another factor...
"It's not the same band." Jason Heller (who picked the Allman Brothers Band) and Steven Hyden (the Grateful Dead) both lament the loss of critical bandmembers to internal fractures and death; in Hyden's case, even the band itself is technically no more. Herzog and Todd VanDerWerff (the Rolling Stones), on the other hand, argue that even if they remain largely intact, the bands' glory days are behind them. But is that a different question? Finding little appeal in the 2012 Stones isn't saying "great records, lousy concerts." It's saying "This band is not the one from 1978/1972/1968 that I love."
"I don't like the fans." Heller and Hyden are well within their rights here, of course. When you buy a ticket to a show, you're not just buying the band for the night, you're buying everyone and everything in the venue (and maybe even the immediate vicinity surrounding it). It's the same reason so many people are fed up with seeing movies in theatres. But it's nothing directly to do with the bands themselves.
(Corollary: "The fans won't like me." Marcus Gilmer points to the flip side of this by worrying about "the off-the-charts creepy factor of a 33-year-old man attending an Avril Lavigne show." On the other hand, Lavigne's currently 27 years old, so unless Gilmer's traveling back in time to 2001, he'll probably be fine. And he can protect himself with a pad and a pen. Take it from a reviewer who's been assigned to cover Demi Lovato, the Jonas Brothers and Justin Bieber.)
"I've seen them enough already." Sam Adams and Kyle Ryan have each seen their respective bands – the Fall and Slint – twice before giving up on their live shows. But "I tried it, I didn't like it" also feels like a different question than "That doesn't sound like something I'd be interested in."
Of course, none of these reasons are wrong. Anybody who's seen enough live music knows that there are any number of factors that, either amplified enough on their own or multiplied by the presence of other annoyances, dramatically lower the appeal of any number of acts.
And Lord knows I'm not immune to this type of thing myself. A few years ago, I contributed to a Boston Globe article where critics were invited to reveal the bands they know they should like but don't. In response to my entry about the Rolling Stones, my editor asked me to maybe rework it to talk a little less about how much I really did like them. (Which I did. The published version is actually a more muted draft.)
But for my money, Tasha Robinson nails the exact issue at hand, saying of heavy-metal string quartet Apocalyptica, "I think I'd find it exhausting watching the band members viciously saw away on their cellos for more than an hour straight." She senses that an Apocalyptica concert wouldn't add anything to her enjoyment of them. Ryan also learned this lesson but, since he actually had to experience Slint live first, too late. Way too late, considering that he saw them more than once.
It's a different beast, plunking down $15 for a recording that you can explore at will, in any of countless environments, as many times as you want, versus spending any conceivable multiple of that amount for a concert that demands your full attention, at a time, place and duration determined by someone else, for one time and one time only. One's an investment, the other's a memory.
But before it's a memory, a concert's an experience, something that you immerse yourself in, for all the good and bad that that entails. You're either all in or you're all out. As the A.V. Club points out, the dividing line between the two is different for everybody. Where those lines might fall is an excellent question, even if it's not quite the one I thought was being asked.

What was left of the Moore Medical Center before it was officially demolished in June. (AP)
The All-Star Game is welcome break for some, and a dream-come-true for others who get to participate in the game or home-run derby.
But for Mets starting pitcher Jeremy Hefner, it was neither.
Hefner (4-6, 3.33), who starts for the Mets tonight against the Phillies in the first game back from the break, spent his days off this week making his first visit back to his hometown of Moore, Okla., which was leveled by a tornado in late May.
Officially, 23 deaths were blamed on the twister, which touched down on the afternoon of May 20 and cut a 17-mile- long path through parts of the heavily populated town. At its most ferocious stage, it stretched to a width of 1.3 miles and packed winds upward of 200 mph.
In 39 excruciating minutes, the disaster caused damages estimated in excess of $2 billion.
None of Hefner's family members, lost their lives, although according to the NewsDay piece, his cousin is still trying to repair his kitchen, which was demolished by a tree that fell on his house.
"It's frustrating because you do the right thing, you pay your bills on time, you raise your family the right way and bad things happen, unforeseen things happen," Hefner said. "And it's frustrating because these are good people and they don't deserve it. It's not just my cousin, but all the people there."
In the event you live in New York, or will for any reason find yourself in Manhattan this weekend, Foley's Pub and Restaurant on West 33rd St. has been selling the "405 Burger," named after Moore's area code, with proceeds going to the tornado relief efforts.
Hefner will pitch tonight, but on Saturday night, he'll be at Foley's from 7 to 9 p.m. to sign autographs on the final night the 405 burger will on the menu.
Said Hefner: "This is just kind of a last-ditch effort to get as much money as possible for the people [of Moore]."
If you're not in Manhattan to buy the burger, this page over at NewsOK details the other ways you can donate to the relief fund.

How Hummus Helps You Lose Weight
I stick to the traditional Arab recipe because thats the only way I have ever made it and the only way anyone in this house will eat it. Any other way they would say it's not hummus but hey what can you expect from a house full of Arabs lol. Although I am sure all the variations are good.
They say you can use a blender but I don't recomend it. It comes out allot better and is allot easier with a food processor.
Also don't forget to only use cold pressed extra virgin olive oil and no other kind of oil.
When it comes to having a healthy fridge, staying stocked with low-calorie, high-nutrient foods makes eating right an easy choice. That's why we love keeping ours stocked with hummus. Here's why the condiment classic can help you drop pounds.
- It's a low-calorie substitute: Who needs mayonnaise (90 calories per tablespoon) when a dollop of hummus (27 calories per tablespoon for a basic hummus recipe) on your sandwich satisfies just as well? The creamy spread also works well to quiet dip cravings or as a salad dressing substitute to help you shave calories in your daily meals.
- It keeps you full: Made from chickpeas, hummus is a great source of protein and fiber, both of which will help keep you feeling full. Adding hummus to your favorite healthy meal will help give your body sustained energy for your workouts or will keep you from reaching for junk food when your stomach starts grumbling in the afternoon. In fact, a small study even found that people who ate more chickpeas in their diet ended up eating less low-fiber, high-fat foods — and ended up losing more weight because of it.
- It's easy to make: It's well known that homemade food helps you keep pounds in check, since you know exactly what's in your meals. Luckily, not only is making a batch of hummus simple to make — just throw your ingredients in a blender — but also, the versatile condiment lends itself to many different flavor profiles to keep your taste buds from becoming bored. Check out a few of our favorite healthy hummus recipes to get inspired!
With baba ghanoush.
I love hummus...SO makes a kick ass homemade naan...mmm...
I freaking love hummus. Any time someone says hummus I run to the refridgerator and dig mine out. I'm eating it now with nut crackers.
Good. I love hummus and eat it all the time.
Quoting fireangel5:
Which recipe do you use?
I really can't give you exact measurements because I have been making it most my life and just eye ball it but I know you could very easily look it up and get the measurements for however much you want to make.
I soak the chick peas until they get soft, add tahini (sesame), garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice and food process it to a paste. Depending on where you live and if there are any Arabic stores in your area you may not be able to find the tahini. But if you have Kroger in your area they have an international food isle where you can find it under the Arabic foods. Also if you have any Arabic restaurants close to you they would have it and it is very cheap even if you get a large tray
Quoting Generica:
I've made hummus at home several times. yummmmy
I would like to try to make babaganoush sometime
You make it the same way as the hummus but instead of chick peas you use egg plant

The situation in Thailand is becoming increasingly dangerous as demonstrators call for the departure of the democratically elected government.
So far, the Thai military, which sometimes intervenes with a coup d'etat when matters get out of hand, have stayed out of the fray between the demonstrators and the government of this relatively prosperous and peaceful Southeast Asian nation of 70 million.
Last week violence spread outside Bangkok, the capital, with at least three people killed and 103 injured over the weekend. On Monday police began using rubber bullets, tear gas and water cannons to defend government buildings.
The government is headed by Prime Minister Yingluck Shinowatra, sister of exiled Thai billionaire Thaksin Shinowatra, himself a former prime minister. The demonstrators' alleged beef with the government is that it is corrupt — but Thai governments are traditionally corrupt. The street opposition's real problem with Ms. Yingluck and her government is that her wealthy brother and his companies, in their view, have used money to put and keep her in power. This fact of life in Thai politics is not likely to change even if she agreed to step down.
The United States has an interest in events in Thailand, although not of a nature sufficient to justify U.S. intervention beyond counseling caution and reason as the Thais try to unravel the problem. Thailand has been a friend and ally of the United States since before the Vietnam War. Although it is a kingdom, it is reasonably democratic. The United States buys about 10 percent of Thailand's exports and provides more than 6 percent of its imports.
Apart from occasional outbursts such as the current protests, Thailand is considered to be reasonably stable. As one of the major countries of Asia to which U.S. foreign policy is attempting to pivot, away from the war-prone Middle East and South Asia, Thailand has been a valuable partner.
Even so, there is nothing for America to do at the moment except encourage the Thais to resolve this problem without further violence.

The Gordon Lee Lady Trojans are not used to starting new softball seasons with losing records, but that's the situation facing the three-time defending state champs after a 2-3 performance at the LFO Invitational at Ringgold's Jack Mattox Complex over the weekend.
However, all three losses came at the hands of teams ranked in the top three of their respective classifications, and Gordon Lee head coach Dana Mull said it is too early in the season to be overly concerned.
"There's no panic, but we do have to get better," she said. "We still have a long way to go, but you aren't supposed to be peaking at this time of the year either, so hopefully we can just keep working and get to where we need to be."
Heritage 6, Gordon Lee 1
The Lady Trojans managed just three hits and committed three errors as they dropped their season opener to Class AAAA's No. 3-ranked team. Tiffany Holland scored the lone run for the Navy-and-White on Ashley McDonald's sacrifice fly.
Ringgold 3, Gordon Lee 0
The Lady Trojans left runners in scoring position in four innings against last year's Class AAA state runners-up and stranded a total of 10 on bases in a shutout loss to the classification's No. 3-ranked team.
Holland was 2 for 3 in the loss, while Tori McElhaney went 1 for 2. Emily Armour allowed six hits and four walks in 4 1/3 innings with five strikeouts, while Haley Haught gave up two hits in 1 2/3 innings of relief.

Megan Wolinsky threw five innings of three-hit ball with one walks and six strikeouts, but got no decision. Armour picked up the win, giving up two hits and fanning five in three innings of relief.
Gordon Lee 4, North Murray 3
The Lady Trojans scored twice in the bottom of the seventh inning to claim a Saturday afternoon victory over the Mountaineers. Bailey Miller drove in two runs in the win, while McDonald and McElhaney knocked in one run each. Armour struck out 10 batters in a complete-game win.
Northwest 11, Gordon Lee 3
Class AAAA's defending state champions and pre-season No. 1 team scored seven times in the first inning to drop the Navy-and-White under .500 after its first weekend of action.

Deal Reached On Fuel Economy
Saturday, December 1, 2007
Congressional leaders yesterday wrapped up a deal on fuel-efficiency standards that meets the approval of the auto industry's key congressional ally, Rep. John D. Dingell (D-Mich.), and clears the way for Democrats to bring an energy bill to a vote next week.
The final version of the bill will stick with the Senate version's goal of making the new automotive fleet achieve average fuel efficiency of 35 miles a gallon by 2020, about 40 percent higher than current averages. But at Dingell's urging it has tougher standards for cars than for light trucks. It would also help protect jobs at some U.S. auto plants, a priority for the United Auto Workers union.
"This landmark energy legislation will offer the automobile industry the certainty it needs, while offering flexibility to automakers and ensuring we keep American manufacturing jobs and continued domestic production of smaller vehicles," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said in a statement last night.
With Dingell's support secure, Democratic leaders also plan to require under the bill that utilities use renewable energy as the source of 15 percent of their electricity generation by 2020. They believe that Dingell's approval means Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (Nev.) can count on support from Michigan Democratic Sens. Carl M. Levin and Debbie Stabenow, giving him needed votes for a broad package.
The energy bill will also include a massive biofuels mandate, requiring motor fuel refineries to use increasing amounts of corn-based ethanol and, starting in 2013, increasing amounts of advanced biofuels using other feedstocks. The legislation also contains incentives for greater efficiency in electricity consumption.
The final and most difficult negotiations hinged on two key clauses about motor fuel efficiency. One gives automakers credit against federal mileage targets for producing flexible-fuel vehicles capable of using gasoline with as much as 85 percent ethanol. There is, however, no way to tell if such vehicles actually use biofuels or regular petroleum-based gasoline, and critics call the credits a major loophole.
Under the agreement reached last night, those credits will be extended to 2014, then phased out to zero by 2020. Dingell and U.S. auto companies had wanted the current maximum credit, 1.2 miles a gallon, to remain unchanged through 2018 or longer.
The other obstacle was a Dingell request that the Environmental Protection Agency not be allowed to override the bill with a decision on limiting tailpipe emissions of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. The bill will not interfere with the agency's authority or its ability to approve of a California plan to set tougher tailpipe emissions standards, said a Democratic aide. The EPA is expected to issue a ruling on the emissions in the next few weeks.
The accord reached this week ends nearly a year of uncertainty about how Pelosi, who made an energy bill one of her top priorities, would reconcile key differences with Dingell, the House's longest-serving member and the chairman of the powerful
¿ House Energy and Commerce Committee.
Dingell has long been loyal to his hometown industry, though he has also supported steep energy taxes across the economy to discourage oil use.
Last night, Dingell issued a statement saying that the agreement "prescribes standards that are both aggressive and attainable" while "providing incentives to preserve approximately 17,000 domestic assembly plant jobs."
Auto companies have complained that the cost of raising fleet mileage is in the tens of billions of dollars, but advocates of higher fuel efficiency say that U.S. vehicles are essentially no more fuel efficient than they were in 1985 and less efficient than vehicles made in other countries.
Fuel efficiency standards, known as corporate average fuel economy standards, were adopted in 1975 in the wake of the Arab oil embargo and oil price shock of 1974. At the time, U.S. gas mileage averaged about 12.9 miles a gallon. The legislation set a standard of 27.5 miles a gallon by 1985.
Since then, however, the average vehicle mileage has gone down slightly because of the popularity of fuel-gobbling light trucks and sport-utility vehicles. In 2003, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration tweaked the mileage minimum for light trucks, raising it slightly more than one mile a gallon.
A ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit earlier this year told the Transportation Department to reconsider the classification of certain light trucks, which the court said were plainly passenger vehicles.
Environmental groups hailed the agreement reached last night. "After two decades of being stuck in neutral and with oil prices in overdrive, Congress is finally on the verge of raising fuel economy standards," Carl Pope, executive director of the Sierra Club, said in a statement last night.
Groups concerned about energy security also praised the bill. "If it becomes law, this deal will mark the most important step toward improving U.S. oil security in a generation," said Paul Bledsoe, director of communications and strategy for the bipartisan National Commission on Energy Policy.

The 26th Annual Solano Wine & Food Jubilee, held on April 19, was another sell-out success, as more than 2,000 ticket-holders turned out to sample an array of foods, wines and brews under the big tent at the Nut Tree in Vacaville.
In addition to the wine and food tasting, this popular benefit for NorthBay Hospice & Bereavement also featured a raffle. The raffle's grand prize -- a brand-new car donated by Momentum Auto Group -- was won by Vacaville resident Amelia Carson.
Amelia was not at the Jubilee when her ticket was pulled, but several friends called her just moments after they heard her name called, she says. "I had told one of them the day before I felt certain I was going to win the car, so when he called to say I won, my first thought was, 'he's joking with me.'" But, she knew it was no joke just an hour later, when Tim Johnson of the NorthBay Healthcare Foundation called to confirm her winning ticket.
Both Amelia and her husband, Les, came to Momentum Auto Group just a few days later to sign paperwork and begin the process of taking home their grand prize. Amelia picked a Hyundai, but has decided to take an upgrade. She also hopes to order special license plates for the car: RFFLPRZ.
The date for the 2014 Solano Wine & Food Jubilee has not yet been set; look for updates at www.wineandfoodjubilee.org.

Men's Bronzite Wrap BraceletI decided it was time to add another Wrap Bracelet to the men's range as I only currently have one which is black and silver. The inspiration for this design was mala beads which have been wrapped several times around the wrist.
I have used 6mm Bronzite beads (Read the properties below if your interested) I have quite a few men's designs whoch use the larger Bronzite beads so this bracelet will complement them perfectly. The bracelet also features two detailed Gold Plated beads with an antique finish.
Energetic Properties:Bronzite is a good grounding stone which helps increase and support your determination in life. It is also good for stilling the mind and increasing personal empowerment.
• Affirmation: "I am Rooted to the Earth as I Commit to Make my Dreams a Reality."
• Chakra: Root Chakra, Solar Plexus
• Astrology: Leo & Taurus
• Element: Earth
|This bracelet wraps twice around the wrist
|Gold Plated accent beads with antique finish
Women's Turquoise Evil Eye BraceletUp till now there have been no Evil Eye Bracelets for women in my shop. I have finally found a Fine Silver evil eye charm which works with the range. As each charm is handmade and finished, each one is slightly different.
I have also found some real Turquoise beads which have been stabalised for hardness. They have a nice blue green colour, black veins and a little mottling. The beautiful colour of this Turquoise is very reminiscent of Tibetan Turquoise.
There is alot of confusion and myths about stabalised Turquoise. The truth is most of the World's Turquoise is too delicate and has to be stabalised by adding a clear epoxy resin or it won't survive cutting into beads or gemstones, it also stops the fading of untreated Turquoise.
Energetic Properties:Turquoise is worn for protection, calmness and is said to help reduce stress and worry. The eye symbol has been worn for protection from the evil eye, ill-wishing and jealousy in many cultures since ancient times.
• Affirmation: "I Am Calm and Protected"
• Chakra: Throat Chakra
• Astrology: Taurus, Leo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Pisces
• Element: Earth & Air

Researching for the Right Dental Implant Doctor - Las Vegas, NV
So far I have had consultations with 4 dentists....
Well we are moving forward with Dr Golpa
moving forward with Dr Golpa
Using my pictures
Trying to find the right look
I noticed as I was looking for pictures on the internet that I was focusing on the teeth themselves then it hit me. There are teeth size, teeth layout, teeth spacing, and most importantly for me , how they fit into the whole face when I smile. In some pictures people had big front teeth or the teeth overlapped the bottom teeth more etc. My whole strategy for showing Dr Golpa what I wanted changed. I started looking for pictures of just teeth to portray the sizing in relation to other teeth. Like some people have larger incisors or smaller canines. So I compiled a group of pictures that show those characteristics of my old smile. Then once that was done, I started looking for pictures of how I wanted the smile to look while within the picture a whole face. Finding similiar looking smiles in the context of the whole face would give Dr Golpa guidance in shaping the prosthesis with the final look I want in mind. Then when I meet Dr Golpa I will have all these pictures printed out and explain to him what I would want for extra clarification. This may help in all being on the same page. I will let you know, 7 more days until I leave for Las Vegas!
Leaving for Las Vegas and Dr Golpa tomorrow !
Wish me luck !
Finally Home !
Day one The Consultation
We met Amanda who I had communicated with several times and she was also the one that coordinated a lot of the travel and transport arrangements. Very pleasant. Then Carlos came to the front and said hi. Carlos took the brunt of my never ending questions before my arrival. He had a big smile and was very friendly and then went back to work. Amanda gave us the forms to fill out, as you would get in any office. Also included were papers that helped me in understanding the process and what to expect. After finishing the paperwork, I was brought into the back and met the Amanda2, one of Dr Golpa's assistants. Very nice, young and pretty. She proceeded to examine and document the current state of my teeth, then took xrays and pictures with state of the art equipment. Me being into technology, I was impressed with the advanced equipment and how expertly the people worked with it. Carlos then brought me to another room and took my CT scan and then we went back. Amanda2 explained so much and was so patient with my questions, and as she reviewed my file (I had sent lots of email and pictures) and we chose the color and style of what my dream teeth would be. And after so much more discussion and her extreme patience with me ( I am a high maintenance patient and I know it). Dr Golpa came in and we talked. It was obvious he had already reviewed my file. He talked about things specific to my case and how to deal with them (specifically I already had an implant that was put in 8 years ago that failed and needed to come out) He listened to every word I said, something I had never experienced in any of the many dental offices I had been in. We spoke about the choices of teeth and color, he looked over our choice thoughtfully and agreed on the color and style of the teeth. And that was it ! Now I have been to 4 consultations with dentists who advertise they do this advanced procedure and every one of them spent a portion of the consult telling me how good they were and how happy the patients were. Dr Golpa not once patted himself on the back, I felt his focus was on me and what I wanted. Amanda2 went over some additional prep stuff and that was it. The surgery was on for next day. When I left the office I remember being so impressed at how competent and proficient every one I met and interacted with in this office was. They all struck me as extrememly qualified and good at what they did. That helped with my anxiety.

At month 1 I am so grateful for this.

Unexpected update Broken teeth
At Dr Golpa's
Back Home (a little disappointed)
Aside from the costs involved, my hopes of a problem free experience combined with worries about potential problems and how to address those problems if they arise, can combine for quite an emotional experience.
I am home with the repaired temps. Pretty much the same as before except for my jaw being a little sore (always is after the dentist for me) and an occasional sharp pain when I yawn. Not sure what that's about. I have to make another trip to Las Vegas (from NY). 3 weeks to 3 months is the time frame.
I am getting my notes together and will update during the week detailing the issues and outcomes I had.
My trip
Update to Trip
My email to Carlos had the following questions:
How come the perms were so different than the temps ?
Also can you tell Jose and/or Cat in the lab that part of my temps have a seamless transition into my gums, perfect, and that is how I would like all the perms to be, the wider areas of the prosthesis are awkward and uncomfortable.
Also I'm not sure but I do not think a new impression of my lower gum was done. Couldn't that cause an issue with fit as well ?
And after adjustments and trimming are done, the prosthesis is rough, is it polished smooth before the final attachment ?
My wife said you had 4 surgeries that day, shouldn't I schedule a day that is not so busy ?
And any other thoughts or advice you might have are appreciated.
And as an afterthought I will also ask (which is a big concern for me) Why both visits to the office did we have so much difficulty screwing in the prosthesis to the implants ?
I worry about the alignment of the hardware putting stress on the prosthesis, implants and my jaw(month 5 update).
In Carlos' email he said "You can rest assured that we will correct all issues prior to delivery."
I guess I can live with the difficult implementation and extra trips as long as the outcome is worth it.
Technical Problem
Dr Golpa called me on Tuesday and touched on most of my questions. I must admit to feeling relieved to hear him explain things. As well as knowing my case is still as much of a priority for him as it is for me. He obviously is aware of the emotions his patients feel. I am grateful for that.
After Thought
Month 8 Update
Month 9 Update
Not much has changed from my last posting I still get the occasional pain by the implant where the break in my lower prosthesis occurred. The repair is not a perfect fit to the angle of the implant. There is no space between my lower and the gum so cleaning is an issue. Once the Zirconia permanents are in, I hope all these issues and the fit are perfect. Beginning to plan my 4th trip to Vegas but am waiting a little longer because of the bad weather we have been having. I will ask to see Dr Golpa before anything begins so we can discuss the things in my previous post. I really want them perfect, and they assured me they will be. I will plan my trip so that I will not chance another trip. I really want it to be done and perfect this trip. I still find the procedure ,and what it has given me, a blessing.That is a good thing after watching my parents and brother struggle for years with their dentures.
Almost 1 year update
New appointment
I would like to meet with Dr Golpa to show him first hand my concerns. Specifically :
1- the upper and lower prosthesis' are both much thicker on the right side. I would like them to mirror the left side in that respect.
2- The occasional pain from where the lower prosthesis was repaired is still happening. I believe it has to do with the alignment of the implant to the repaired area of the prosthesis.
I would also like to make sure the perms are perfect before I leave. How can we accomplish this so I do not need to make another trip ?
So with that, the appointment to get my perms is set for Tuesday, April 28th.
I was told "we will do is spend the day Tuesday with Dr. Golpa making the adjustments to your current bridges, until they are corrected to your satisfaction."
As I was more concerned with the permanents and not so much the temps, I responded " my concern is not so much the temps, but getting the perms right and the time it takes to correct any errors if something is wrong."
Then Carlos explained to me "In the past with old technology, wax-ups were done. The problem with wax-ups is that its wax. Things shift and shrink, etc. Think of your temps as the wax-ups. Adjustments and changes will be made to them, until they are perfect. We can then scan them, and mill the perms from that scan, this way it will be exact. We will then make any minor adjustments to the perms. " That clarified things for me, understanding the process helps me in my approach to explaining the issues to Dr Golpa.
This is the detailed explanation of the issues that I will give to Dr Golpa
First and foremost, I am extremely happy with the look of the teeth and do not want that to change at all. The structural issues I have are:
1 - My top right - prosthesis is too thick compared to the left side.
2 - My bottom right - prosthesis is too thick compared to the left side.
3 - Back teeth do not meet. Cannot chew on that side.
4 - Extra material was added during the repair and always feel pressure, difficult to clean
5 - After the repair to my temps, my lower left implant has given me occasional pain and especially after steak, that is also the side that the teeth do not meet.
Hopefully all will go well with the new process and the look will remain the same and all the alignment issues will be corrected without a return trip. Wish me luck !
Leaving for Las Vegas in the morning
The structural issues I refer to are:
1 - My top right - prosthesis is too thick compared to the left side.
2 - My bottom right - prosthesis is too thick compared to the left side.
3 - Back teeth do not meet. Cannot chew on that side.
4 - Extra material was added to the bottom prosthesis during the repair and I always feel pressure, difficult to clean
5 - After the repair to my temps, my lower left implant has given me occasional pain and especially after steak, that is also the side that the teeth do not meet.
Keeping my fingers crossed that this will be the final trip !
Back to Las Vegas June 15th
Leaving for Vegas in the morning.
But as I always say ' Eye on the prize' and in this case perfect comfortable and strong teeth are the goal.
My list of questions and things to address and hopefully fix are:
1. Sharp pain in lower right back when I yawn or move jaw certain way.
2. The lower right 3 teeth feel as if they are being pushed in when I eat things like a steak or apple.
(The other side meets perfectly and the bite pressure is perfect. No problem chewing and it feels strong)
3. Aching jaw (lower right) after steak dinner, usually the following morning.
4. The lower prosthesis feels uncomfortably snug and hard to get under it to clean.
5. Prothesis gum line is uneven (top and bottom). *See pic*
6. Lower prosthesis feels as if it is not aligned with my gumline or upper prosthesis. *See pic*
7. Why is lower right back teeth much thicker than lower right left ? (uncomfortable) *See pic*
8. Why does Top left back extend 1 tooth past the end of the lower prosthesis
9. Area of top left prosthesis at gum line that sticks out and always gets big chunks of food caught. *See pic*
Is there an problem with my gum impression ? Could that be why we are having so much trouble getting a good fit with the prosthesis.
It seems the Zirconia prosthesis is more bulky and not the same as the PMMA templates we made the last time I was there ?
Are these lab issues ?
Wish me luck !
Has anyone seen the new reality series on this subject yet ?
1 month post 4th trip to Vegas
These are a list of the issues I brought and discussed with the Doctor. ( new comments by *)
1. Sharp pain in lower right back when I yawn or move jaw certain way.
*this is mostly gone now, only happens 2 or 3 times a week.
2. The lower right 3 teeth feel as if they are being pushed in when I eat things like a steak or apple.
(The other side meets perfectly and the bite pressure is perfect. No problem chewing and it feels strong)
*This was fine for the first couple of weeks but then the pressure feeling started to return.
3. Aching jaw (lower right) after steak dinner, usually the following morning.
*This has stopped so far
4. The lower prosthesis feels uncomfortably snug and hard to get under it to clean.
*The fit also feels a little better
5. Prosthesis gum line is uneven (top and bottom).
*Now I laugh at myself for even listing this
6. Lower prosthesis feels as if it is not aligned with my gumline or upper prosthesis.
*Alignment feels better
7. Why is lower right back teeth much thicker than lower right left ? (uncomfortable)
*Still thick, that is the side the implant is on the outer edge of the prosthesis as well.
8. Why does Top left back extend 1 tooth past the end of the lower prosthesis
*Fixed with the new prosthesis
9. Area of top left prosthesis at gum line that sticks out and always gets big chunks of food caught.
*One of the several adjustments made to the Zirconia while I was there – Fixed but found out from the lab tech that when they do things to the zirconia they then have to 'fire' it in the oven and they can only do this a few time as it makes it weaker.
The first thing becoming more apparent is ' The lower right teeth feel as if they are being pushed in' statement. I realized that the implant on the lower right back, where I get that feeling, is actually on the very outside edge of the prosthesis (see picture) so the pressure when I bite is not evenly distributed. Kind of like a table with 3 legs, it's only ok as long as the pressure or weight is directly over the legs. If that implant was centered like the others, I think that this would be perfect and not such an unnatural feeling. But I think that would mean redoing the Zirconia prosthesis which I was told they can only 'fire' Zirconia prosthesis in the oven so many times because they get weaker so they would have to make a new one. I actually wished they had made a new one that was wider in the back when I was there. That would make that implant and prosthesis sync up with my natural gum line. My concern is over time if this type of stress will loosen the implant and maybe break the prosthesis, especially now that they changed it from Zirconia to PMMA which is not as strong. My wife is even worried about making me a steak because the cost to have it done was a lot for us and the trips from New York are not cheap and I agree that a fifth trip is a bit much.
I would love to hear thoughts from anyone who might have some experience with this procedure.
