Is it ok to have a crown when the prep goes below the gum line? How does the crown stay on?
I've Just Had a Crown Prepped and the Dentist Said That the Prep Height Goes Below the Gum Level?
Doctor Answers 6
Should A Crown Margin Be Placed Below The Tissue?
I am not a fan of placing crown margins below the gum line and avoid it at all costs. With the use of soft tissue lasers it is rare that I need to place the margin subgingival. I prefer to keep the margin at or slightly above the tissue to allow for the bonding of an all ceramic crown. Good luck.
In the old days, before we started making and using all ceramic crowns, specially when were using porcelain fused to metal crown exclusively, we (more mature dentist) were taught to end our crown prep slightly below the gum line to hide the metal line.
Now that we are using all ceramic type of restorations, as much as possible we keep the finish line above the gum.
Crown Prep Height goes below the gum line
Hi Carowalk...crown preps can go below the gum line. Ask your dentist WHY your crown prep will be below the gum line. I am assured he has an answer for you! Often the crown prep will be placed below the gum line if the patient has periodontal issues and the doctor is trying to protect the gum tissue or the patient has a lot of recession and it would be a "high water crown" if placed above the gum lne. Always check with your dentist why the crown is going to be prepped that way. Also remember either way will work. It can be cemented in place below the gum line.

Crown prep goes below the gum line?
Without boring you anything under the gum tissue can cause irritation and irritation can lead to inflammation and tissue destruction. The goal is to keep the margin of a filling or crown 5mm away from the crest of bone this is called the biological width. In order to accomplish this some times we do a procedure called crown lengthening where we surgically reduce the bone around your tooth so the margin of the filling or crown does not invade the biologic area, its good dentistry but in the real world compromise is sometimes necessary good luck

Crown Prep Below the Gum Line
Very often crown preps have to go below the gum line. The crown can still be bonded or cemented in place.
Crown below Gum Level
This is a challenge, for any dentist. See how it goes if issues consider extraction and an implant. You can only do so much with what you have to work with.

What we think about when we think about Pono
This week there have been a lot of columns and comment dedicated to the launch of Pono - the download-service and player that Neil Young has had created, the aim being to offer "Lossless" audio, to do away with the alleged embarrassment of compressed audio and its inferiority.
Neil Young is promising the finest in high-quality, highest-resolution digital music.
It's been hard keeping up with the column inches that have poured out since the news that Young would be speaking at SXSW and launching the device/system.
Pono is something that Young is passionate about. It took up a great deal of his memoir.
I've been asked a few times these last few weeks for my thoughts about Pono. And I've answered honestly. I don't really have any.
Certainly I've been interested in keeping half an eye on the stories around the player, a bit of professional curiosity - but I can't say I've seen a lot of point in the project from day one; the constant mentions in Young's memoir bugged me, not because it wasn't tangible (here he was sounding like an excited schoolboy with a weekend garage project that he only just starting) it was that the idea of the player - of what it aimed to do - seemed redundant.
I've made the decision, now, to do most of my reading on a Kindle. I'm totally sold on the device - on the idea of e-readers. Doesn't mean my book collection isn't important to me, or that I'll never buy a book again - I just favour the device currently. It fits with my lifestyle. And though there have already been plenty of changes to e-readers - my wife's Kindle seems archaic now, no backlighting - I'm not waiting around for the Kindle that offers an audio-grab of pages rustling and turning, that gives off a scent similar to that of fresh pages. If I want that experience I go back to the bookshelf, I return to the books. And I do that already, from time to time. I'll continue to do that.
With music I've moved the other way - in terms of a collection. My focus, for the most part, is on my records. I value the experience of taking time out to sit down with records. I enjoy having to stand up and change sides after just 20 minutes. I want that (mild) interaction. I want the talking point of the cover. And the stories it might have attached to it if it's a second-hand copy. Heck, I started a separate blog just to chart the various stories around why I own what I own.
In theory I should hate the Kindle. But, as I said, for now at least, the Kindle suits me better. If I'm taking a holiday I don't need to pack loads of books - I can carry more than I'll need on the one device. If I'm dashing out in the car and there might be a wait when I get to where I'm going my Kindle will fit in my pocket. It's no drama if I don't need it. I don't need a clunky doorstop of a book on the passenger seat. I can read in bed with the light off. I use the Kindle to read in stolen moments. That might not sound like the best way to read - but it's how I get my reading down currently.
The iPod - and any other portable music players, now it's about Mp3, back then, back when I started, it was the walkman and there was the Discman too - is largely about listening to music in stolen moments. Sure, we can plug the iPod into the stereo/sound-system, bars and shops have playlists for their music and simply use an iPod for the storage and delivery of that music.
But it's still music for stolen moments. It's background. It's not for deep - serious - music listening.
Here's the best piece I've read about Pono. It sums up any feelings I might have.
The design is ugly, impractical and this focus on creating the best-possible sound for a device that exists as, essentially, an accessory seems to me to be a waste of time; almost solving a problem that doesn't exist.
I bought a new iPod just last week. I needed it. The old one died. And I do need music to take with me when I travel - when I walk to gigs, or catch the bus; when I go on a long car-trip the iPod is plugged into the stereo.
To have all of that - well, actually, half of that, because Pono's storage capacity isn't as great as the biggest iPod - with improved sound, in a bulky triangle shape, something that looks like a relay stick for some Hunger Games tag-team offshoot - is of no value to me whatsoever.
I'm still working on building up a better home stereo, creating a system that will serve me well, offer the best sound I can get. But I want that for the home - for sitting still, for the music that I want to sit down with. I want that for my records. And, actually, in most cases, I want to hear the wee pops and jumps, the hisses that come from collecting records and playing something - a sound source - that is finite, that has some finality attached to it, a point of - eventual - obsolescence. A death, if you like.
The Mp3, or certainly the portable Mp3 player, was created to take the music with you, make it a soundtrack, a part of the experience. That doesn't mean crystal-clear, and with as close as is possible to an exact representation of the music on the original recording. It means tunes to hum to as you stroll, or music to heighten your experience, in most cases it means something to help you pass the time.
Pono seems a little bit precious to me - and misguided. It looks like an attachment for an X-Box and yet it's claiming to be the new gold-standard in listening experiences.
I'm also dubious about the delivery system and the way the purchasing will work, and how that purchase is then split. I'm happy for artists to get a slice of the pie, of course. But this feels like a major artist looking for a way to tie distribution back to major labels - an apology to the "system" for the fact that technology one-upped it for a while there.
But that's the least of my concerns with Pono. I just can't - quite - see the point of it. And I'm sure that most of us - almost all of us - wouldn't actually hear the difference, beyond the shop-demo where everyone nods and agrees that it couldn't possibly be any better.
What do you make of Neil Young's Pono? Is there a market for it? Will it succeed? Is it of any interest to you at all?
Postscript: Nothing to do with the Pono at all - but if you enjoyed the movie A Band Called Death - or would like to see it, would like to own it, over at Off The Tracks I'm offering a chance to win a copy of the film on DVD; two chances actually, two copies...so check that out before Friday.

These iPad Air 2 Concepts Are Awesome
Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) next iPad isn't expected to be released for another six or seven months, but the first iPad Air 2 concepts have already surfaced.
These aren't official concepts -- Apple does its best to keep those behind closed doors.
But Josh Beatty, the founder and CEO of modulR (a mobile iPad solutions provider), teamed up with his design partner, Mike Casto, to produce several concepts to demonstrate what the next-generation iPad could be like.
Related: Panasonic's New 4K Tablet Is 12X More Expensive Than Apple's iPad Air
Image Credit: modulR
In this image, modulR shows how the next iPad could have an edgeless display made with sapphire crystals from GT Advanced (NASDAQ: GTAT). Apple confirmed that it acquired PrimeSense (whose technology appeared in the original Kinect for Microsoft) last November. Many assumed that PrimeSense's technology would be implemented in the company's rumored television set, but modulR envisions an iPad that allows users to interact with it using 3D gesture control. With this feature, users wouldn't have to physically touch the device to rotate, move or swipe through simple on-screen motions.
Image Credit: modulR
This image illustrates a concept called Smart Panel Dock, which would theoretically customize the iPad experience based on user habits. In this scenario, the user could bring up a handful of frequently used apps by hovering over either side of the screen. It's a small touch, but it would allow users to access their favorite apps without having to navigate through so many layers.
Image Credit: modulR
Touch ID is a cool concept, but it's central to only one button -- the home button. Beatty believes that Apple will expand this feature and eventually transform the entire screen into one big Touch ID that can identify each individual finger. In addition to the security benefits, this could open up a world of possibilities for creative app developers.
Image Credit: modulR
Last but not least, modulR expects Apple to replace the iPad's traditional home button with a digital button that glows when the tablet is moved from rest or when a hand hovers over the device.
Going Beyond iPads
Looking to the future, Beatty told Benzinga that while he is "pretty confident" that an iWatch will be released, there is "a lot of pressure on Apple" for a new product. "You think of how Apple works -- they've brought on great designers to [build] great things for it," Beatty explained.
"But what Google learned from Glass is to harness other designers and focus on what you can do. So with the Android Wear platform, having everybody be the designer for it, they now have allowed [Google] to compete against every watch maker in the world. If I were an investor, I'd probably see that as a huge threat in that category."
Related: iPad Air Is Cheaper, More Profitable Than iPad 3
Apple could do more game-changing things as well, but Beatty believes that the company is being too conservative.
"They just need to innovate, put things out there," he said. "[They] know they need to go against Xbox, and Amazon is doing that [with Fire TV]. But Apple needs to do more, faster -- and be bolder in terms of what they're doing and not be afraid to make mistakes. I think right now they're afraid to make mistakes."
Disclosure: At the time of this writing, Louis Bedigian had no position in the equities mentioned in this report.

A SUICIDE bomber has rammed his motorbike into a checkpoint near the Pakistani military's headquarters, killing 10 people including soldiers, police say.
The attack in the garrison city of Rawalpindi, just south of the capital Islamabad, killed at least seven soldiers, said police official Mian Maqbool.
More than 20 people, including children, were injured in the bombing, he said.
The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the blast and vowed more attacks on security forces.
"We did this and will continue our mission against the army," said Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan spokesman Shahidullah Shahid.
Islamist militants based in Pakistan's lawless tribal regions near the Afghan border have recently stepped up their campaign against security forces.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his cabinet were scheduled to hold a meeting on Monday to decide how to respond to the militant violence.

ALBANY — Gov. Cuomo has his eye on ultimate-fighting purses.
New York should consider legalizing the controversial sport if proponents can show it would make big money for the state, Cuomo said yesterday.
"I think it's something that should be pursued, definitely," he said. "It's about jobs."
Ultimate Fighting Championship says holding one such event at Madison Square Garden and in Buffalo would generate more than $28 million in economic activity.
UFC would hold at least four events a year for the next three years, chairman and CEO Lorenzo Fertitta said yesterday.

- Location: Northern Range and North Coast
- Type of Journey: One way
- Distance: 7 miles
- Highest Elevation: 1460 feet (445m)
- Degree of Difficulty: 4 (moderate)
- Time: 2 hours 30 minutes.
This trail is probably one of the most used hiking trails in the country. This trail is sometimes used as a return trail by some, but one way should be recommended, for the option of a cool sea bath and relaxation is very rewarding after a nice trek. From Gasparillo Road, Santa Cruz we will begin our trek up the gentle hill that is wide enough to be a bench trail (trail wide enough to accommodate a vehicle). We are in a natural forest where the tree covers are great, even on a hot day, its cool underneath. Lots of birds are seen and heard chirping their lives away. You may even see the odd wild animal or two scurrying across the trail as well. True nature is at its best here.
As we trek further uphill, there are a number of shortcuts that can be taken, but of course, these shortcuts are steeper. The forest is undisturbed and it is recommended that a break should be taken in order to truly enjoy serenity and relaxation for awhile. When we reach to the top, another break can be taken, for the balance of the journey is strictly downhill which can be quite trying, especially on your thighs and calves. As we reach further downhill, we will come upon parts of the hill that is eroded due to human intervention in establishing gardens along the sides of the mountain. From here, we will know that Maracas Bay is just around the corner. As we approach the village, we walk until we come to a junction where we eventually veer right and follow the road until we come to the "North Coast Road" onto Maracas Beach.

Helping your customers understand the security threat landscape is the first step to selling managed network security solutions.
This break-fix-VAR-turned-MSP shares his 5-year struggle to become an MSP and get 50% of his
customers on a fixed-price program.
What an exciting time to be a VAR, integrator, or MSP! Sure, there are a lot of changes occurring — both from a technology and vertical-specific perspective — but the bottom line is that whoever is willing to adjust to the changes is going to reap the rewards. Following are some mistakes (or examples of not adjusting) that can threaten your business in 2013.
A year of persistence and patience leads to a major networking install with a recruiting firm.
I read an interesting story recently about how an editor at Gizmodo had his digital identity stolen. The hacker gained access to his Twitter account, his Gmail account, and — with the help of a simple Amazon account hack — his Apple account. After the security breach, the hacker deleted the victim's Gmail account, posted messages on his Twitter account, and even went so far as to remotely wipe out his MacBook, which contained more than a year and a half of family photos that weren't backed up anywhere else.
By taking the time to assess a prospect's network, this MSP was able to unseat a competitor with a storage and antispam solution that was 25% more expensive than its competitor's offering.
During last month's RSPA RetailNOW 2012, one message was repeatedly hammered home by speakers and roundtable panelists: The world of retail technology is changing, and those who don't change with it will be left behind.
IBM announced recently that it banned the use of DropBox for corporate use due to security concerns. Around the same time, it was also reported that presidential candidate Mitt Romney's personal cloud storage account was hacked.
Compliance laws and regulations regarding email security are helping to drive 30% growth for this managed services provider (MSP).
An occasional topic amongst editors at Jameson Publishing, the parent company of Business Solutions, is getting "too close" to a topic.

Smell is way too intense; dispensing trickyI just don't get the Burt's Bees products and I think I'm about done trying. I just can't stand the smell, and this salve felt greasy and not emollient enough for my rough cuticles. Also, the little container is tiny and hard to open; not convenient at all for on-the-go application which is what I would think it was mainly for due to it's size. Disappointed, yet again by the Bee-loving Bearded one. — 6 years, 6 months agocherrypie | 196 reviews
Burt's bees fanI originally bought this container because my husband works the overnite shift for a sanitation company and his hands were as tough as nails everyday when he came home.

Great night time hand cream.This hand salve is so thick that it moisturizes even the driest of hand. It smells lovely like citrus and eucalyptus. You may want to use it only during night as you don't want to leave an oily finger print on products you touch. Use it before bed and wake up with soft hands. — 4 years, 11 months agoKaps | 21 reviews

Not for my hands.. but for my heelsI've tried this on my hand as a hand "salve" but it didn't really moisturize my hands. Instead it made it more red and perhaps a bit irritated.

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
The art world has given us countless marvels to objectify and quantify. Through rapidly evolving movements and periods and a vast catalogue of masterpieces, it has, to varying extents, birthed a range of fanatical artists. We gaze upon their works with a mix of befuddlement, amazement, and anguish. As fans, critics, and laymen, we struggle to determine the meaning of an object; a canvas; a sculpture and communicate it to others. Like baseball cards, works are priced according to the name they bear and their rarity.
The folks who are really supposed to know what is and isn't worth the fuss (and the pricetag) —a tiny group of top art collectors—have allowed very few into their circle of privilege. So it seems odd that Herb Vogel (a New York City postal worker) and his wife Dorothy (a librarian) managed to become a part of this select cadre. What they have accomplished without the wealth and status of world-renowned collectors is a veritable work of art in itself—one the artists they've befriended and supported over nearly 50 years of art-buying welcome.
Herb & Dorothy, as you might imagine, tells the story of how a couple with a love for art cultivated one of the greatest collections of Minimalist and Conceptual art on little more than a postal worker's paycheck. Megumi Sasaki wastes no time piecing together the legacy forged by this dynamic, yet subdued, duo. Both worked by day while taking art classes in the evening before deciding their art could never be more than hobby for either. They choose, instead, to focus on buying works they found aesthetically pleasing. As Pop Art took over the scene in the early '60s, Herb and Dorothy were drawn to Minimalist and Conceptual art, whose creators would remain unappreciated until decades later. They quickly bought pieces from Sol LeWitt, Richard Tuttle, Chuck Close, and Robert and Sylvia Mangold. Their rules were simple: The piece had to be cheap, and it had to fit into the pair's tiny one-bedroom apartment. Over the years, they transformed their quarters into a makeshift gallery and storage unit for some of the most seminal pieces of the era. And their patronage didn't go unnoticed by the artists they soon befriended.
These friendships, between artist and collector, are at the heart of Herb & Dorothy. As Sasaki unravels the tale of the unlikely art-world duo, the layers peel away to reveal that the Vogels weren't just collecting works of art but creating lasting relationships with the artists they supported. One of best stories comes from world-famous artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude, who have been friends with Herb and Dorothy for nearly 40 years. Although they had heard of the Vogels, Christo and Jeanne-Claude had never met them until Herb placed a call inviting the artists to come over to look at and possibly purchase a piece. Unfortunately, when the couples met, Herb and Dorothy were saddened to find they were too late to get in on the Christo and Jeanne-Claude bandwagon. But the artists devised a way to deliver a work of art to the Vogels, who never accepted art for free: If Herb and Dorthy would watch Christo and Jeanne-Claude's cats for a while, they would be rewarded with a collage of the "Valley Curtain," which was to be erected in Colorado that summer. As the deal was made, the relationship between the couple evolved from business deal to full-fledged friendship.
Such stories flow fast and free throughout Herb & Dorothy, balancing the tale of the Vogels' accumulation with their love of people. They are not -- and never were -- scenesters or speculators. When The National Gallery of Art offered to preserve the works they gathered, the couple gladly agreed to donate much of the 2,000-piece collection to the Washington D.C. museum, further endearing themselves to art-world posterity.
Herb and Dorothy sacrificed so much to obtain the pieces they coveted: space, money, and time. But the couple gained a warehouse full of masterpieces and a slew of lifelong friendships (not to mention the admiration of the most snobbish and hard-to-please in the art community) in the bargain. Megumi Sasaki's documentary on the pair also does a great service for the art world: It gives a new generation of outsiders the opportunity to realize that it doesn't always take money, connections or breeding to do what you love.

Last week one of our vendors came to the facility to give us an in-service on the company's modality equipment. I'm not a fan of modalities. To say I was less than enthused at the prospect was an understatement. Nonetheless I tried to play along. Everything went fine through ultrasound and diathermy. Then she proved she didn't have a clue about what she was talking about.
When she hit e-stim, she proceeded to describe how the machine altered the functioning of nerves to get them in sync, resulting in motor learning, all while the patient sat passively by. That pretty much flies in the face of the current thinking and research on motor learning. Nothing is passive. I asked questions. Why the references she provided were 10 years old or more? Why she was contradicting motor-learning theory? Her response was to refuse to argue with me.
I don't expect every vendor who comes along to be an expert on topics in physical therapy. I do expect that person to be familiar with her product and able to answer questions. This requires some basic knowledge of both science and therapy. If someone is providing an in-service, particularly an OTR, I expect a little more knowledge.
Apparently this sale rep doesn't share that belief. Her idea of an in-service was to recite something she had memorized nearly verbatim from the manual she provided. She couldn't handle any question that required thought. Based on her dress and behavior, I would guess she has been getting by on the "I'm pretty, don't ask me questions" methodology. My male supervisor fell for it.
If I tried that in one of my lectures, I'd be laughed off the podium. Granted, sometimes we need the old literature to support the new theories so a few older references are acceptable. But all 12? That tells me the science didn't work. Sadly she didn't even realize how stupid she appeared after our discussion. She just went right along as though nothing had been said. Even our tech noticed that she didn't know what she was talking about.
I did get one laugh out of the situation. I left before she finished so I could treat patients, having decided I wasn't going to get much out of the in-service. After she concluded, she told me she couldn't give me CEU credits because I left before she was finished. Since I didn't really learn anything, I didn't think it was a problem.
As a rehab Director and PT myself, I am not always in control of what my facility contract with the modality company requires. My facility has me do four "in-services" a year as part of the agreement. Sounds like your facility has the same type of agreement. Sounds like to me your supervisor does not have any control as I don't about the inservices. Sounds like to me you were just being rude and just enjoyed disrupting the meeting. I recommend next time ask to be excused Before the meeting. You may have a longer career at this location than you have had at others you have posted about.
Let me guess. ACP?
keep em coming ;)
This is funny. However she was there to sell a product and the supervisor agreed to have her there. If anything, blame him for not receiving product information and reviewing it prior to having her there to sell the product.
It is not unusual to send the "pretty" people to sell the worst products. Fortunately you have the sense to see through the facade and ask appropriate questions. It was kind of petty to not give you the CEU's, jealousy maybe for making her look and sound like she didn't know what she was talking about?

".And Man saw that all is passing in this mad, monstrous world, that all is struggling to snatch, at any cost, a few brief moments of life before Death's inexorable decree. And Man said: 'There is a hidden purpose, could we but fathom it, and the purpose is good; for we must reverence something, and in the visible world there is nothing worthy of reverence.' And Man stood aside from the struggle, resolving that God intended harmony to come out of chaos by human efforts."
These lines from Christopher Marlowe's famous play 'Doctor Faustus' have a different context yet they remind me of a brave Pakistani teenager, Aitzaz Hasan — a 15-year-old boy who embraced martyrdom when he confronted a suicide bomber who wanted to bomb his school in Ibrahimzai, Hangu.
The list of brave people in Pakistan is long: brave teenagers (be it Shaheed Aitzaz or the living legend Malala), brave leaders (Shaheed Benazir Bhutto, Shaheed Salmaan Taseer, Shaheed Bashir Bilour), brave cops, brave soldiers. And it will get longer if our state keeps paying lip-service to the bravery of these people without doing anything substantial to address the issue of terrorism, extremism and religious intolerance.
I am not sure if God intends "harmony to come out of chaos by human efforts" in Pakistan but I do know that Aitzaz Hasan's martyrdom has had no effect on the terrorist sympathisers/appeasers at the state level.
A posthumous bravery award, tributes from the army chief, prime minister, etc., mean absolutely nothing if the state is unwilling to take action against the Taliban and their terrorist allies. Why should the sacrifice of a 15-year-old boy, who had much to see, go in vain? As much as it pains me to say it, young Aitzaz's huge sacrifice will eventually come to nothing because of the flawed policies of our military establishment and the cowardice of some of our politicians (read the ruling party at the federal level and the provincial government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa).
Valiant: Members of a students' federation light candles in front of a portrait of Aitzaz Hassan, a teenager who sacrificed his life to stop a suicide bomber, saving the lives of hundreds of students in Pakistan. Pics/AFP
The military considers the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) an enemy but terrorist outfits like the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) are not considered enemies despite the fact that they are operating alongside the TTP.
Terrorist outfits like the LeJ, Lashkar-e-Tayyaba (LeT), Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP), et al, are as bad as the TTP, yet the military is not willing to go after them because of vested interest.
Our political leadership is not ready to confront the menace of terrorism either out of cowardice or reasons best known to them — and them alone.
The people of Pakistan are constantly being misled by leaders like Imran Khan who still have the audacity to say that we should 'talk' to the Taliban. What good talking to these monsters will achieve is beyond my comprehension but one thing is clear: we cannot go on this path of self-destruction.
The lyrics of 'Que Sera, Sera' (Whatever will be, will be) remind one of life in Pakistan. We really do not know what awaits us: whether we will live to see tomorrow or not, whether another young Aitzaz will have to tackle another suicide bomber to save hundreds of lives or not, whether this state will continue to self-implode or get its act together or not.whatever will be, will be.
Here is to hoping that our military and civilian leadership get their heads out of the sand in 2014 and save Pakistan before it is too late.

Dads look for balance between fatherhood, music
Vinnie Waite likes to fall asleep to the sounds of metal music and drums.
In fact, Vinnie loves to play the drums. Head over to Vinnie's house, and there is a good chance you'll find him hitting a snare drum with a drumstick while his father, Chris Waite, holds Vinnie in his arms. There may be half-eaten Cheerios and animals crackers on the floor by the drums because Vinnie is 10 months old.
"I want to teach him everything I know," Waite said.
Local musicians Waite, Aaron Seibert and James Williams count on understanding wives and accommodating band members to make being both a musician and a father work well, they said.
It requires balance. There are times when they need to rehearse, and there are times when they can't travel to gigs because they need to be Dad.
"You just have to make it work," Seibert said.
Seibert is the vocalist and guitarist with Jack+Jill. Waite is the drummer in the same band.
The local acoustic rock group plays Monday, June 22, at Weavers' Tavern and Wednesday, June 24, at Smuggler's Brew Pub.
Booking local gigs is much easier when it comes to family, Seibert said. Jack+Jill looked into playing a show in Moab recently, but the band had to commit to playing two consecutive nights in order to schedule the show. Seibert had to say "no."
"It is a little rough sometimes," Seibert said while holding his son, Ezra, in his lap.
Ezra is only 10 weeks old, so Seibert is a relatively new father. Ezra has brown hair like his dad's, although it's not as long — yet.
"I definitely wanted kids," Seibert said.
Waite, Seibert and Williams all knew having children would affect their musical careers, but they wanted both.
"There are times when I can't jam, but I want to be the best musician I can be to support (Vinnie)," Waite said. "I enjoy music a lot more."
Williams intentionally incorporates family into his musical career.
As a guitarist in The Williams Brothers Band, Williams schedules band rehearsals at opportune times, making family get-togethers and barbecues part of rehearsals.
His two daughters, Chloe Williams, 7, and Kiya Williams, 2, love music. They both sing and Chloe plays piano.
When people ask Chloe what her dad does for a living, she proudly tells them, "My dad plays guitar in a band."
Now that Chloe and Kiya are getting older, they can stay overnight with a baby sitter, allowing Williams and his wife to travel to shows. And Williams is less likely to find sticky handprints on his mysteriously out-of-tune guitars.
"Kids are rad," Williams said. "When I come home, I'm just Dad. I'm folding laundry and changing dirty diapers. Plus, they give me something to write about."
The Williams Brothers Band, made up of Williams and his brother, Phillip Williams, play a show at 9:30 p.m. Saturday, June 20, at the Rockslide Brewery.
"You can't take (just) any gig," James Williams said. "It has to work into the schedule.
There are times you have to say 'no.' "
And there are family-friendly shows in the afternoon or early evening that young children can attend. Vinnie, Chloe and Kiya all have seen their fathers perform.
"Sometimes I go on stage with my dad," Chloe said.
On the occasion the shows are late at night or out of town, the men perform and go home.
Seibert has learned that when he gets home, no matter how much he wants to cuddle little Ezra, it's best just to let him sleep.
When Waite gets home, he always talks with his wife, but the sound of his voice often wakes Vinnie.
"And then he's up for 1 or 2 hours," Waite said, shrugging his shoulders.
Williams said sometimes when he's on stage he really just wants to be with his gals: his wife and his two daughters.
"It's tough, and it takes a lot of work to give the other what it needs," Williams said. "It's all about balance."
Or, in Seibert's case, "We have great baby sitters in Grandma and Grandpa."

Strange But True
You like weird facts, I like weird facts!
So here's some facts: 1700 - 1900
"Green turns blue with distance. A good way of showing this is to tear a roundish hole in any large bright green leaf, such as a burdock, and to hold it at half-arm's length so that a part of a distant landscape is seen through the hole, and the eye sees also the whole surface of the leaf."
"A blind man was once laughed at for going to select a farm. On being helped out of the vehicle, he asked that the horse might be led to a bunch of thistles. He was told here were none. Then he remarked that docks would do as well. This request they were able to gratify. He subsequently bought the farm. When asked the reason for his "cranky" desires, he replied that thistles grew on poor land, docks only on rich soil."
"Take three onions, three carrots, about three turnips, one small cabbage, one bunch of celery, and one pint of stewed tomatoes. Chop all of the vegetables very finely, and set over the fire in four or five quarts of water; when these are thoroughly boiled, strain and add to the soup about two teaspoons of graham flour wetted in cold water; a small piece of butter, pepper and salt; then boil again about twenty minutes, and it is ready for the table. This is for the vegetarian, or the man who is afraid of the juice of meat. But the vegetarian dies--and Graham himself is dead"
--Sylvester Graham (1794-1851) He promoted the use of coarsely ground whole wheat flour, which became known as "graham" flour, and is best remembered for graham crackers, which were also named after him. --
"The movements of the squash vine when pressed by hunger or thirst are truly wonderful. During a severe drought, place a basin of water at night, say two feet from a strong vine, and in the morning it will be found bathing in the basin. Is not this an indication of thought in the vine?"

Australia's largest goldminer downgraded its full-year production guidance on Tuesday for the second time in six months, with continued technical difficulties at Lihir Island one of the main factors.
Speaking to analysts, chief executive
He admitted that the onset of problems as a result of this under-investment had caught Newcrest, which acquired Lihir Island in its $10 billion takeover of Lihir Gold in 2010, unawares.
"We knew there were a lot of issues in that plant that would require work, but I think the answer is that we've seen them come on quicker than we expected," he said.
Newcrest is completing a $600 to $700 million duplication of the Lihir plant to lift its capacity above 1 million ounces of gold a year, a level that is needed to provide a sufficient return on capital.
Chief operating officer Greg Jackson said on Tuesday that as the million-ounce upgrade project came online, there had been a plan to do a staged handover of sections of the plant to allow the necessary remedial work to be carried out.
"I think what's happened is that things have not quite lasted and [we've] just missed out by six months, but it's obviously the six months that make it very hard to catch up," he said.
Newcrest shares sank to a three-year low of $26.60 on Tuesday after the production downgrade was announced with the March quarterly report.
While the downgrade was bigger than most were expecting, RBC Capital Markets analyst Geoff Breen was more concerned about the outlook for next financial year.
Newcrest provided production guidance for Lihir Island and its Cadia Valley Operations in NSW for that period, and Mr Breen said it was much lower than expected.
The company now anticipates that it will produce between 700,000 and 900,000 ounces of gold from Lihir Island and between 400,000 and 500,000 ounces of gold from Cadia Valley.
In cutting his recommendation on Newcrest from "sector perform" to "underperform", Mr Breen cited the diminished production and earnings outlook for next financial year.
He said there were "no foreseeable catalysts for improvement in the short term".
Despite the stock's fall on Tuesday, it is still relatively expensive compared to its peers in the tier one gold space, trading on a financial year 2013 cash flow multiple of 17 times and a net asset value multiple of 1.1 times.

Outside the Ukiah Staples store, postal workers from Ukiah, along with fellow American Postal Workers Union members from San Francisco, protest a deal the U.S. Postal Service made with Staples. The deal would create U.S. Post Offices inside Staple stores to be staffed by Staple employees instead of U.S. Postal workers. Protesters claim the move will take away good jobs and will lead to poorer customer service and less mail security.

I once watched a movie on AMC that had a plot like this: A man is viewing a trial, and he and his friend get into a conversation about how the prosecuting attorney was so good at his job that he could successfully prosecute an innocent defendant. The friend has an idea: this man is to be framed for a crime he did not commit. They agree that the friend will later reveal that the man is entirely innocent of the crime. An opportunity arises: a prostitute is found murdered. The man is framed. Then, a plot twist: the friend dies, and so the man distresses about being acquitted. After that, it does (somehow) come to light that the whole thing was a setup. Then, at the very end, there is the mother of all plot twists: it is revealed that the man did kill the woman after all, and this is found out by the fact that he knew the name of the woman, which was not mentioned during the trial.
I have tried googling this before, but I cannot find it. I will send a five dollar amazon gift card to anyone who can tell me the name of this movie.

Cultivating Conscience:
Contemporary law and public policy often treat human beings as selfish creatures who respond only to punishments and rewards. Yet every day we behave unselfishly--few of us mug the elderly or steal the paper from our neighbor's yard, and many of us go out of our way to help strangers. We nevertheless overlook our own good behavior and fixate on the bad things people do and how we can stop them. In this pathbreaking book, acclaimed law and economics scholar Lynn Stout argues that this focus neglects the crucial role our better impulses could play in society. Rather than lean on the power of greed to shape laws and human behavior, Stout contends that we should rely on the force of conscience.
Stout makes the compelling case that conscience is neither a rare nor quirky phenomenon, but a vital force woven into our daily lives. Drawing from social psychology, behavioral economics, and evolutionary biology, Stout demonstrates how social cues--instructions from authorities, ideas about others' selfishness and unselfishness, and beliefs about benefits to others--have a powerful role in triggering unselfish behavior. Stout illustrates how our legal system can use these social cues to craft better laws that encourage more unselfish, ethical behavior in many realms, including politics and business. Stout also shows how our current emphasis on self-interest and incentives may have contributed to the catastrophic political missteps and financial scandals of recent memory by encouraging corrupt and selfish actions, and undermining society's collective moral compass.
This book proves that if we care about effective laws and civilized society, the powers of conscience are simply too important for us to ignore.
"Cultivating Conscience is a blistering attack on the 'law and economics' school, which has had an enormous impact in the US legal academy. . . . But despite that focus, Cultivating Conscience is not only for a US readership: its clear and highly readable style, enlivened by real-life examples, also makes it accessible and of great interest on this side of the Atlantic. . . . Cultivating Conscience is lucid and stimulating."--Bill Bowring, Times Higher Education
"[D]uality in human nature, and the connection between conscience and public policy, is masterfully examined in this book by Lynn A. Stout. . . . Cultivating Conscience is a forceful and rational proposition for reasonable change."--John Michael Senger, ForeWord Reviews
"Stout makes the compelling case that conscience is neither a rare nor quirky phenomenon, but a vital force woven into our daily lives. . . . This book proves that if we care about effective laws and civilized society, the powers of conscience are simply too important for us to ignore."--Marshal Zeringue, Campaign for the American Reader blog
"Cultivating Conscience is one of those rare books--essentially a single-theme book, an apologia for the author's subject matter--that eruditely comingles several fields of knowledge, is clearly and succinctly written, holds the reader's full attention throughout, and whose contents affect the reader's thoughts at unsuspecting times and on various topics long after reading is complete. In short, it is well worth reading by both laypersons and professionals."--Cynthia C. Siebel, PsycCRITIQUES
"Lynn Stout's rich and thought-provoking book explores the full spectrum of human behavior, from selfishness to self-sacrifice. Her insights will fascinate anyone interested in the law, economics, psychology, and everyday human existence."--Jared Diamond, author of Guns, Germs, and Steel and Collapse

Greetings. I have stretched my earlobes to hold discs up to 1 5/8". I was considering having them repaired because I deal with parents and administrators at my work. I would like to find an experienced plastic surgeon who has repaired stretched ears. I live near L.A. Any idea of the cost?
Looking for Experienced Doctor to Repair Stretched Earlobes in L.A. Area
Doctor Answers 11
Cost for Ear Reconstruction
1. Location - Most procedures will be performed in a doctor's office where costs can be contained. If not will it be performed in a hospital or an independent out- patient facility? Geographical location also has a significant influence. RealSelf has average charges for most areas of the USA.
2. Type of Anesthesia – local anesthesia is typical and less costly. If IV sedation or General Anesthesia is used: Will a board certified anesthesiologist, nurse anesthetist, or an RN be used?
3. Experience and training of your surgeon. The best and longest trained is most often a plastic surgeon board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery
4. Length and Complexity of Surgery - how difficult will your surgery be and how long it will take, etc.
Earlobe repair in LA
Repair of Stretched Ear Lobes
Thank you for the question. There are many good board-certified plastic surgeons in your area. You should do your due diligence by checking with the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Only by visiting the surgeon's website or office will you learn of his/her specific experience and skill.
The repair of the stretched envelope is a great procedure that can restore the ear lobe to a "normal" appearance". Must be taken during this procedure to avoid reducing the size of the air and/or creating a notch/ depressed appearance in the area of the rim of the ear lobe. It is usually done under local anesthesia with very high patient satisfaction rates.
I hope this helps.

Earlobe repair is very straightforward
I have patient come in the office all the time for repair of stretched out and torn earlobes. In fact, just last week I removed several keloid scars from a patient who had her earrings torn out of her earlobe and then developed excessive scar tissue. This procedure can almost always be performed under local anesthesia. The only exception would be earlobe reduction as a part of a facelift.
Correcting stretched earlobes
The correction of stretched earlobes is one of the most common office procedures in plastic surgery. We routinely perform this procedure under local anesthesia with great success. We use a technique that employs a small tissue flap to completely wrap around the piercing. This creates stable support for the earring to rest on so that the weight of the earring does not tear through the delicate tissue below.

So far it seems that anyone who has spent real time with R (e.g. myself, Nathaniel) has expressed serious concerns about the masked approach. And we got into this discussion at the Data Array summit in Austin last month because we're trying to make Python more competitive with R viz statistical and financial applications. I'm just trying to be (R)ealistic =P Remember that I very earnestly am doing everything I can these days to make scientific Python more successful in finance and statistics. One big difference with R's approach is that we care more about performance the the R community does. So maybe having special NA values will be prohibitive for that reason. Mark indeed has a fantastic track record and I've been extremely impressed with his NumPy work, so I've no doubt he'll do a good job. I just hope that you don't push aside my input-- my opinions are formed entirely based on my domain experience. -W

Standard Chartered Leads Fall in Bank Bond Risk to 19-Month Low
Standard Chartered Plc led a decline in European bank bond risk to a 19-month-low as it settles claims it violated U.S. sanctions by dealing with Iranian clients.
Credit-default swaps on Britain's second-largest bank by market value dropped three basis points to 88 at 11:15 a.m. in London, the lowest since May 2011, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Air France-KLM, Europe's biggest airline, is selling its first benchmark bonds since 2009.
London-based Standard Chartered said talks with U.S. authorities may conclude by yearend after it was accused in August of helping Iran launder about $250 billion. Credit risk fell as corporate borrowers continued to take advantage of near record-low yields to sell bonds before the traditional holiday season slowdown.
"There's not much sign of the holiday lull yet and the market is pretty buoyant," said Elisabeth Afseth, an analyst at Investec Bank Plc in London. "The Iran settlement gets rid of the uncertainty hanging over Standard Chartered."
Investor appetite for corporate debt has pushed yields on investment-grade bonds down to 2.15 percent on average from 4.4 percent at the start of the year, Bank of America Merrill Lynch's Euro Corporate Index shows.
Corporate borrowers are raising at least 7.4 billion euros ($9.7 billion) from bond sales this week, compared with 12.1 billion euros for all of last week, according to data compiled by Bloomberg that tracks issuance in euros and pounds by non- financial companies. Sales reached 34.5 billion euros in November, a record for that month.
Air-France, Heathrow
Air France-KLM (AF) is raising 500 million euros from bonds due January 2018 that will be priced to yield 6.375 percent, according to people familiar with the transaction.
Heathrow Finance Plc, a unit of the London airport operator, is meeting investors today on a 250 million-pound ($403 million) of senior secured bonds maturing in September 2019.
Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank International AG is selling benchmark tier 2 bonds in euros guaranteed by the Austrian government.
GDF Suez SA's (GSZ) bonds fell more than any other company after Europe's largest utility by market value said earnings will drop next year because of the weak economy. The Paris-based company's 2.625 percent bonds due 2022 fell 0.3 percent to 102.8 cents on the euro, the biggest faller in Bank of America Merrill Lynch's EMU Corporates Non-Financial index.
Risk Falls
The Markit iTraxx Crossover Index of contracts on 50 companies with mostly high-yield credit ratings fell one basis point to 477. A decline signals improvement in perceptions of credit quality.
The Markit iTraxx Financial Index of senior debt issued by banks and insurers was 152 basis points after earlier dropping to a 19-month low of 145. The financial subordinated index was little changed at 259.
The Markit iTraxx Europe Index of 125 companies with investment-grade ratings declined one basis points to 118.
Contracts insuring Wendel SA (MF), France's largest publicly traded investment firm, rose after Chief Executive Officer Frederic Lemoine said today the company will continue to buy back shares if the 36.2 percent discount on the net asset value remains near a historical high.
A basis point on a credit-default swap protecting 10 million euros of debt from default for five years is equivalent to 1,000 euros a year. Swaps pay the buyer face value in exchange for the underlying securities or the cash equivalent should a borrower fail to adhere to its debt agreements.

Columbus patch antennas position!!
During the last few days while I was trying UHF Packet on the international space station .I noticed several time a sudden dip in the signal strength and loss in connection with packet system. ISS elevation was reasonable and the signal strength on the VHF packet system was strong!
I'm thinking of 3 cases:
1- The patch antennas position!
(The patch antennas are fixed on the Meteorite Debris Panels (MDP) protecting the hull of Columbus. On the port cone of the module, where it attaches to the ISS )
2- Radio and power used!
3- Doppler Effect!

Is there anyway to get the comments with the rss feed. I can get the original post, but not any of the comments to that post.
Did I make contact?
Been trying for a few days with a less than optimum setup, and UISS5.2.8
I've been watching the ARISS.net page and see my callsign, so I click on it and see raw APRS Data on findU.com:

Does that mean I made it to the ISS?
Great news (if you live in the Netherlands)
André Kuipers:
Started using the amateur radio. PI9ISS for the Netherlands, otherwise NA1SS. Fun, but a dilemma. Do I take photos of the Netherlands during a pass, or use the radio?
ISS contact with Wouxun KG-UVD1P
I tried to make contact with ISS (PI9ISS/NA1ISS) last weekend on every pass when it passed over the South UK, but unfortunately no results. Although I could here PI9ISS (Andre Kuipers) make a QSO with a Dutch OM.
I use a Wouxun KG-UVD1P handheld kit.
Is it at all possible to make contact with ISS on such a handheld. I could here PI9ISS quite clearly talking but I wonder if they can receive me. Output is 5W.
Can somebody shed a light on my dark space explorations?

Jesus and the Assault Weapons Ban
Prayer and guns. The Democrats are pulling out all the stops in their push for an assault weapons ban. Read below from The Washington Examiner:
As Sen. Diane Feinstein opened her press conference on gun control, she invited Dean of the National Cathedral Rev. Canon Gary Hall to offer a prayer.
Hall spoke briefly before the prayer, calling for Washington legislators to stop fearing the gun lobby and fulfill their "moral duty" to restrict guns.
"Everyone in this city seems to live in terror of the gun lobby," Hall said. "But I believe that the gun lobby is no match for the cross lobby."
Hall said that he could no longer justify a society that allowed ordinary citizens to keep and bear "assault weapons."
During the prayer, Hall asked God to "bless our elected leaders with the wisdom and the courage needed to bring about the changes that the people demand."
Watch the prayer video below.
I didn't realize Jesus was for an assault weapons ban. Did I miss that? Where is that in the Bible?
Conservative evangelicals are always blamed for invoking the Holy Bible in their politics. Umm, folks, what just happened here? It happens on the liberal side more than you think. Can anybody say social justice gospel?
Yes, another double standard. Shocking ( Sarcasm dripping)

Mario Gomez turned down Real Madrid
Mario Gomez has revealed he turned down an offer from Real Madrid when he opted to join Fiorentina this summer.
Gomez left Bayern Munich in a €20 million deal in June, and has two goals in two league games as la Viola have won their opening Serie A matches.
The striker -- whose paternal grandparents left Spain to work in Germany during the 1960s -- told kicker that he considered moving to Madrid but in the end had plumped for Italy.
"I was flattered because all my family are Real Madrid fans," he said. "I appreciated their interest, but I told my agent I only wanted to go to Florence."
The Germany international, 28, suggested he had preferred to be assured of a first team spot at Fiorentina than have to compete for a starting berth at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu with Karim Benzema.
"I did not move on to another club of [Bayern's] level," he said. "If I had joined Real, I would have alternated with Benzema."
Benzema has two goals and two assists in his first three Primera Division appearances this season, but has not looked completely comfortable -- and was whistled by fans at the Bernabeu during last weekend's 3-1 win over Athletic Bilbao.

Former Durham DA fights to keep her license
Posted June 4, 2015
Raleigh, N.C. — Three years after she was ousted as Durham County District Attorney, Tracey Cline found herself in another courtroom Thursday as she tries to hang on to her law license.
A disciplinary panel of the North Carolina State Bar began a hearing in Raleigh to determine if Cline violated rules of professional conduct for attorneys.
"I know prosecutors ... who have hedged the line. I did not do that," she told the three-member panel.
The State Bar accuses her of getting an investigator for her office to file bogus motions seeking the prison visitation records of three inmates, never telling the prisoners or their lawyers about the filings and lying to a judge to get the motions signed.
Darrell Brown, a Durham police investigator who works with the District Attorney's Office, testified that Cline asked him to request the inmates' visitor logs and told him that it was because the inmates were seeking to get their convictions overturned.
When Cline questioned Brown, however, he said he didn't recall what she told him when requesting the visitor logs and that he had used draft language he got from another investigator in the office to put the motions together.
In depositions videotaped in prison in late 2012, all three inmates said they were never told that Cline wanted their visitor records until after the court orders had been signed.
"I was pretty much confused as to why she would request that," said Keith Kidwell, who was convicted of murder in 2009.
"I felt it was an unfair procedure. I thought I should have some way to protect my privacy rights," said David Yearwood, who is serving a 31-year sentence for first-degree sex offense.
Cline took the stand in her own defense and tried to explain the reasons behind the request for prison visitor logs, saying it began with Yearwood's case and a series of newspaper stories in September 2011 accusing her of prosecutorial misconduct.
One story noted a sealed document in Yearwood's court file that included evidence of Cline making misstatements in court and withholding evidence, she said. Her efforts to figure out where the information came from and to get her hands on the document kept running into brick walls, she said.
"My hope was to try to find out what was going on and why I was being accused of prosecutorial misconduct," she said. "There was a serious accusation of a pattern of misconduct that spanned four or five cases, and I absolutely was trying to get to the bottom of it to do some investigation and respond to this. I could not get any information from anybody."
Cline said she never told Brown or anyone else to get information about the "pre-approved list" for inmates' visitors, although that request was included in each motion, and she said she wanted information for Yearwood alone.
Margaret Cloutier, am attorney with the State Bar, noted that Cline admitted she didn't inform the inmates or their lawyers about the motions and that the statements in the motions didn't jibe with the facts of the inmates' cases at the time.
"Somebody told these people what the motions ought to say," Cloutier told the panel. "What she chose to say wasn't true, and she knew it."
The disciplinary panel has already determined that Cline's criticism of Superior Court Judge Hudson in late 2011 and early 2012 violated various conduct rules. Those criticisms led to her being removed from office in March 2012.
The disciplinary panel plans to deliberate Friday morning to determine whether her actions regarding the inmate visitor logs also violated the code of conduct. Then, the members will hear evidence as they try to determine an appropriate punishment for her.
