I stayed at this hotel for a single night. During the night, a large roach flew onto my pillow and landed on my head. After reporting this to the hotel manager, he insisted the room is very clean and there is no roaches. After showing him the photo I quickly took before flushing the roach down toilet, he then insisted the roaches and rats come from the outside.
I booked this hotel after seeing a bunch of glowing (5 star/point) reviews. After staying there for single night, I can confirm the 5 points reviews are grossly in-accurate.

All of the places I can find them locally charge $4-5 per battery including Wal-mart. Where is a good source for quality cr123a batteries online?
Lighthound, BatteryJunction are a couple of sites. Google flashlights or flashlight brands for sellers and they often sell batteries too.
I picked up a pack of 6 surefire brand batteries at a gun show for $15.00, Wal-mart had energizers 2 for like $10.00. I think you can get the surefire battery 6 packs through cheaper than dirt, midway usa, or anyone that sells that stuff.
surefire.com usually have decent pricing on the larger packs.
If you shop around, you will see MANY different prices.
CPF (Candle Power Forums) has a nice review about the quality of CR123 batteries: 123 Battery Shoot Out - CandlePowerForums
I shopped around and bought a case of 100 Ray-O-Vac CR123's for $125 (today the same 100-lot is $115!): SPECIAL: 100 Box - Rayovac CR123A 3 Volt Photo Lithium Battery RL123A
I would check Deal Extreme
Botach Tactical has always been a great source for me, they come in at about a buck a piece. Find some friends and split a large order.
I get mine at Battery Junction.. Great prices on lights as well..
BatteryJunction.com Batteries, Battery Chargers, Flashlights, Solar Products & more!
You can get (US made) 123's for around a buck at Battery Station, Battery Junction or Optics HQ.
I've gotten my last 2 batches of SureFire batteries from the latter vendor - ZERO trouble. Before that I used to buy from Battery Station - again, ZERO trouble. I've never bought 123's from Battery Junction, but from buying other stuff and hearing feedback on CPF, they're also 100%.
Amazon.com: SureFire SF12-BB 123A Lithium Batteries, Box of 12: Sports & Outdoors
Amazon.com: Streamlight 85177 CR123A Lithium Batteries, 12-Pack: Home Improvement
I bought the streamlights with my Olight M20 and I'm still on my first pair. Im no expert, but that's pretty good in my book. Plus free shipping if you spend over $25
I'll buy them by the case, sell a bunch on Ebay or to people I know. It usually pays for the battery's I keep.
If you have a bass pro near you or REI check them locally. Bass Pro has 2 packs for $5ish and REI has 6 packs for $15 bucks.

I'd bet $100 that brinks is right. As a employee of the Govt. I regularly see the Govt. tripping all over it's own rules. The term "idiocracy" comes to mind.
This is a discussion on Brink's fights BATFE hard over FFL revocation within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Courthouse News Service DALLAS (CN) - Brink's wants to depose a director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives over the revocation of ...
Courthouse News ServiceDALLAS (CN) - Brink's wants to depose a director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives over the revocation of a federal firearms license that allows the armored car company to buy thousands of guns at a discount.
Brink's filed a petition for discovery in Federal Court, seeking to depose Megan Bennett, Director of Industry Operations for the BATF.
Brink's says it owns more than 14,000 guns, which are used by its 9,000 employees in 220 branches across the country.
Brink's says that after the BATF inspected its facility in Coppell, Texas in December 2010, it received a notice of revocation from Bennett.
It claims the revocation is illegal and against the BATF's own policies.

I'd bet $100 that brinks is right. As a employee of the Govt. I regularly see the Govt. tripping all over it's own rules. The term "idiocracy" comes to mind.
My name is Frogman46 and I'm tougher than you.
Good ol' Brinks, protecting the medium of trade and commerce (money) can't keep its legally-obtained FFL, yet the Department of Education and the Internal Revenue Service - branches of government with no specific law enforcement purpose or charter - get to buy all the guns they want.

I'm cheering for Brink's on this one. They provide infinitely more valuable service to society on any given day than the ATF ever has or will.
...you can bet Brinks will not be shipping any guns to Mexico to see if they "fall"into the hands of criminal armys...BATF has always been stuck on stupid...
whats next armored transportation companies are not allowed to carry guns. sometimes our government makes most idiotic choices. Bureaucracy at its finest.
If Brinks is using their FFL to purchase firearms, then loaning them to their employees, they may be in violation. If instead Brinks is purchasing them, filing 4473s, and reselling them (even at cost) to their employees, then the BATF is wrong.
Does anyone know what violations were cited?
Interesting. Got to be a catch re the batf, but hopefully it shakes out. Those folks aren't paid enough to work with protection let alone without it!

End the cycle of hatred, dont give them a tomorrow."
Brinks is huge. I worked for them. we had lotsss of guns. MP9 and MP40s great guns, brand new stuff too.
I hope they win the fight.

How to Peel, Seed and Store Tomatoes
Peeling tomatoes eliminates the tough skin, which can contribute an unappealing texture in some dishes. Seeding them also makes for a smoother texture, and eliminates any bitter taste that can linger in the seeds. If you are a gardener and have an excess of ripe, fresh tomatoes—or if you are an avid patron of a local farmers' market and you have purchased someone else's excess—peeling and seeding them is the first step in storing them. They can be kept in sealable bags or airtight containers for up to six months. Or, use them immediately in chili, stews and any recipe that calls for fresh or canned diced tomatoes, such as salsa or fresh tomato sauce.
Pictured Recipe: Fresh Tomato Sauce
Step 1
Before you start, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place a large bowl of ice water next to the stove. Using a sharp paring knife, core the tomatoes and score a small "X" into the flesh on the bottom.
Step 2
Place the tomatoes in the boiling water, in batches, until the skins are slightly loosened, 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
Step 3
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the tomatoes to the ice water and let sit in the water for 1 minute before removing.
Step 4
Place a sieve over a bowl; working over it, peel the tomatoes using a paring knife, and let the skins fall into the sieve.
Step 5
Halve the tomatoes crosswise and scoop out the seeds with a hooked finger, letting the sieve catch the seeds. Press the seeds and skins to extract any extra juice.

On the 31st anniversary of meeting, Jerry and Roberta ōBirdieö Kilgore of Algonac celebrated New YearÆs Eve with a few thousand people in downtown Mount Clemens on Monday night.
ōItÆs awesome -- the fireworks are always great, the band is always great and the people are always great,ö Birdie Kilgore said moments before the clock-tower on Main Street struck midnight to usher in 2013.
Her husband agreed.
ōWeÆre originally from Mount Clemens and we always come back home to the Clem for New YearÆs Eve,ö Jerry Kilgore said.
They were among an estimated 5,500 people who turned out for the 19th annual Macomb County New YearÆs Eve Gala that featured live music from the band Eastside Westside, along with karaoke, and a colorful fireworks display that illuminated the skies.
The crowd didnÆt seem to mind being outside for the late-night party even as the thermometer dipped to 28 degrees and felt colder with the wind factored in. While some wore formal wear, most were bundled up with hats, gloves and scarves to stay warm as they danced and cheered for the event.
ōI give it a thumbs up,ö said Ayla Coats, who attended with her sister, Cerise Coats, and friend Jamie Kleinhans.
Many of the cityÆs renowned bars and restaurants were also packed with party-goers, most of whom ventured outdoors in the minutes leading up to the midnight display.
At SeeburgerÆs Cheeseburgers, several groups of people warmed up with food and conversation as they looked back on the previous 12 months and speculated on what the future holds.
ōI hate to see it end,ö said Harrison Township resident Charlie Rose, who was with a group of people. ōIf it was 2012 forever, IÆd never get beyond being 72.ö
Famed local automotive historian John ōTop Hatö Jendza felt likewise.
ōMy year was fabulous -- all the years were great,ö he said. ōAll I can say is IÆm happy to be here. God bless America, brother.ö
During the gala, members of the Downtown Development Authority were busy selling 50/50 raffle tickets that helped finance the fireworks show. The tickets went at a brisk pace right up until the time of the drawing with about $6,900 worth sold. The female winner took home about $3,400.
A number of retail outlets that stayed open for New YearÆs Eve had a steady stream of visitors as the night went on. At Tis Country on Macomb Place, owner Peggy Winfield and worker Judy Akers were pleased to see the foot traffic even though they grew tired in the later hours.
ōItÆs been a pretty good crowd all night, but we are tired and getting ready to go home,ö Winfield said late Monday.
Earlier Monday evening, hundreds of families enjoyed the DDAÆs first New YearÆs Eve in Never Never Land, a five-hour event filled with special characters visiting restaurants, a petting zoo, magic show, and a brief fireworks display. DDA officials said the overwhelming popularity of the event means it will become a permanent addition to the Mount Clemens holiday lineup.

Cheapish "motel style" hotel
Very comfortable bed, but room had no windows at all, which is a bit claustrophobic.
Breakfast not an option, but very handy for a local pub/restaurant which does a good breakfast. Staff seemed friendly enough, though I had very little contact with them. Generally OK for the price.

Decent place to stay for the price, friendly hosts.
Good location. Furniture and fittings are tired but again it's a good enough place for the price you pay. My only gripe was that the beds were advertised as memory foam, and mine was a sprung mattress which is not great for my back. I would stay here again though.

Should my cat wear a collar?. She loves going outside but I had one on her and her leg got trapped in it!!
Frightened she gets lost without a name tag and collar
Asked by
bob marley
on Aug 22nd 2012
in Loss of a Pet
- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
My late, sweet Ernie was an outside cat, too. He lost more collars than I can count, one time within 1 minute of going out. The ideal situation would be to keep her in and safe from the dangers a cat face outside. Ernie was hit by a car and since I'd had him micro-chipped, that's how they were able to notify me when his body was brought into the vet's. Collars on a cat are iffy. If you use a "breakaway" collar and your cat gets hooked on something, the collar will let go or "break away", but then it's without a collar. If you put a regular collar on it, it could get stuck on something and be injured or not be able to get away from something that's chasing it. Microchipping is not that expensive (about $40) and sometimes humane organizations can get you a discount. All my animals are micro-chipped now even though my cats are inside cats.

The Retronauts Kickstarter is closing in on 250% funded in two days' time, and as with any successful Kickstarter venture (or, really, anything involving money, ever) some people have questions about legitimacy and greed. Fair enough! For all the great stuff Kickstarter has brought us, we've also seen plenty of projects that collapsed under their own weight or whose creators seemingly took the money and ran. We talked long and hard before launching this to avoid either of those happening.
For one thing, we always had modest ends in mind, which is why we launched with a relatively small goal and didn't offer any reward tiers above $300. Although we talked about some pie-in-the-sky ideas at the beginning, we ultimately decided we should take a manageable approach and simply try to get a biweekly podcast funded. The pie stuff is pretty far out there in the unlikely $60K+ territory. For our basic ambition — making a podcast — Bob sat down and calculated the real costs of buying some semi-pro-grade equipment, renting a nice quiet studio, and paying for webhosting and Libsyn bandwidth for the show. Then we took that number and doubled it, not for the sake of pocketing it, but because we've spoken to people who have been caught off-guard by their own Kickstarter successes when they learned the hard way that tax filings on "online donation" earnings that exceed a certain amount is something like 45%.
The one non-material/service expense we factored into the initial goal is the cost of launching a company (LLC or corporation) in California. That way the money we raise this month goes directly to an outside entity's business account rather than into our pockets, which protects us (from massive personal tax debt) and you (from getting screwed over).
Each and every one of our stretch goals has been established with the same frame of mind. The first stretch goal (which we hit last night; thank you!) won't actually soak up the full amount of the additional cash we've earned to reach that point, since the initial goal took care of a good many of our initial sunk costs. But it has allowed us to expand the number of rewards available and to make sure that our friends at Fangamer, who offered to handle reward disbursement for us, will see a fair return on their efforts.
The 30K tier's earnings will help us hire a musician to compose a new theme (since the old one, like all previous Retronauts content, doesn't belong to us). The 36K tier requires us to acquire some video recording, editing, and broadcasting gear. The 42K tier involves a service that will cost us very little to produce, so we're using the earnings from that tier as donations for charity. The next tier will be just enough to handle travel and hotels for the three of us to attend three live events. And so on, and so forth. At every turn, we've endeavored to pour these earnings directly into the podcast and surrounding concerns.
Of course, we realize that some people simply won't be satisfied with any explanation and see only the worst in every project like this, and there's nothing we can do about that. I've seen a few indignant huffs about our greed for wanting good recording equipment and locations, because lots of people put together podcasts with their built-in computer mikes in their living rooms. That's true. But we'd like to maintain the level of polish that made the past seven years' worth of Retronauts so good. Actually, since we won't have to worry about other people screwing up our equipment or rely on phone lines with call-waiting we can't figure out how to deactivate, the sound quality should actually be better than it's been since we lost the services of podcast grandmaster Andrew Pfister with the Hearst layoffs in 2009.
This is all kind of in the weeds and it's probably stuff most people don't care about, but we want to be up front with it. Feel free to hit us with any additional questions about this stuff.

NEW DELHI – An Indian state government has passed legislation banning superstition and black magic, a day after a prominent champion of the bill was shot dead.
Atheist Narendra Dabholkar, who for years campaigned for such a law, was killed Tuesday by two gunmen on motorbikes in the city of Pune in the western state of Maharashtra.
Maharashtra's Cabinet on Wednesday approved the law, which was first mooted back in 1995. "An ordinance will be promulgated in the next two days," a state official said. An ordinance requires approval by the state assembly to become permanent.
News on the bill came amid a strike Wednesday in Pune to protest at Dabholkar's killing that saw 90 percent of the city's firms and shops close. Further protests were held in the state capital, Mumbai.
"There is no progress" on the investigation into Dabholkar's death, police Commissioner Gulabrao Pol said.
The Maharashtra Prevention and Eradication of Human Sacrifice and Other Inhuman, Evil Practices and Black Magic Bill outlaws exploitative activities by charlatans preying on the vulnerable.

chicago electric mig welder
i was wondering if anyone has tried a chicago electric mig welder? any complaints?
Don't expect much, made in China :pain:
I agree with Vince on this..Remember you get what you pay for.. :pain: I advise you to put out the extra to get something better.You will be much happier.
Cheap welder=harder to make better welds... :pain:
Good welder= easier to make better welds.. :D
Just my 2 cents.. :)
1. Not designed to hold the large (10 lb.) spools of wire.
(Can cobble a bushing from a 2 lb. spool).
2. Finicky control for wire feed speed -- small movement of the knob can make disproportionate changes in speed.
3. Leaky gas hose or valve. (Turn off the tank valve to conserve gas between setups).
4. Manual says nothing about the twin grooves in the wire feed wheel; one is for .035 in., 0.9 mm (typical flux core) and one is for .024 in., 0.6 mm wire.
None of these complaints are sufficient to make me regret saving about $400. I do not depend on this welder to make a living; it's for my hobby use only. The welder does not prevent making quality welds.
Stangman196700 didn't specify what usage the welder was being considered for. The first reply could have been simply, "It depends", but that's no fun. Besides, he/she asked for complaints about the tool.
Complaints also depend upon the user and the usage, so I included that info as well. Someone like you or powerrodsmike would likely find the first two complaints I listed completely intolerable because of just the amount of welding you do. Those quirks of the tool are not so bad for someone spending a couple of days a month welding. (The 2 lb. spool that came with the welder was just enough for me to figure out how to use it and enough to convince me to get a tank of gas and stop using flux core. The 10 lb. spool that replaced it lasted a whole summer).
BTW, I learned to stick weld on a 100% duty cycle welder/generator powered by an air-cooled Onan engine. You could get plenty of penetration welding railroad rails together with that thing without bevelling the edges. It wouldn't be the first thing I'd recommend for a home shop, though.
That's a roundabout way of saying none of us can give blanket recommendations for or against a solution unless we're given enough details about the problem to be solved.
For a budget welder the Clarke seems to be gaining a pretty good reputation and it only costs a few dollars more the HF machines. One of the members here was quite impressed with his Clarke and after trying one I can see why, darn good machine for the money.
check used
I bought a used lincoln from a pro welder that was retiring.. an old sp200 that is about the size of a clother dryer and weighs so much that we moved it around outside with the backhoe when we had to build an 8 ft " sight obsecuring" fence when the farm got rezoned into the city.. I still like older Made in the USA tools over new import. Most major brands still have parts and tech support if you need it.
That thing is heavy for a reason, a good reason! :)
I bought a mig from Harbor Freight (Chicago Electric) in 1993BC (Before China) and it was worse than all the things Grouch said plus it burned the circuit board with probably less than 15 hours of welding. Replacement parts? Who said replacement parts? I would have taken some replacement parts but there were no replacement parts. I scrapped it with malice and it will be Miller or other major brand time for me.
As you all know, I am a HF junkie - buy most of my tools there. However, discretion is advised, there are some HF tools to steer clear of. Hack saw blades, recirpri-saws, sheet metal shears come to mind. I would put their wire-feed welders in that category. You can get a Lincoln 100 series welder for not much more than the HF house brand (I got my Lincoln at Harbor Freight!) and quality, ease of use, are all much superior to the Chinese unit.
There are however a few good examples of the HF machines and the one example of the "Duel Mig" model that I have seen has been a good one. Sometime back I had a thread on the HF TIG that a buddy of mine bought and he also bought the "Duel Mig", both for a total of $400 and both of these things have held up just fine. I am not saying anyone is wrong about them and that they are all good machines but I am just saying that they are a crap shoot and one person may get a good one while the next one won't, of course the term "good" is used very loosely here. HF has several different models of both MIG and flux core welders and a couple of different TIG machines so it may be that some models are better than others which seems to be the case with a lot of things they sell. I would never recommend to anyone to go to HF to buy a welder of any kind but to be fair the "duel Mig" and that little DC only TIG machine that my buddy bought has held up just fine for several years now and he has done quite a bit with them although they are as "bare bones" as they can get, at $400 for both of them they have paid for themselves several times over.
Sometimes name brands do pop up there but it seems to be on an occasional basis and I would guess that it is probably surplus merchandise they bought out. I have also seen genuine Victor torch outfits and Hobart 225 AMP gasoline powered welders at real bargains, and I mean cheap like $129 for that Victor torch set with regulators and 25 ft of hose! :eek:
It's kind of funny how the opinions vary as too the quality of the HF tools. I have bought a fair amount of items from HF and find that every single thing they sell is hit or miss. I've bought 2 of the exact same tools, used them exactly the same and one lasts 2 months and the other lasted 2 years. Buying tools from a communist government subsidized industry is a gamble. Whats really a challenge is trying to return a defective product, they look at you with the "you were the dummy that bought a $300 dollar tool at HF" in their eyes as they tell you sorry and point you to the area to BUY a new one. I usually just stick to buying expendables there now such as sand paper, and abrasive blast media. Just my $.02

These days, you'll see Santa everywhere – at the mall, on your TV, and hopefully, near your Christmas tree. But if you really want to see Santa, all you've got to do is look up to the sky where he belongs! Except this Santa isn't on a sleigh – he just jumped out of a helicopter. Good thing he's got a parachute. Click below for a little holiday fun from the Red Bull Skydive team over Salzburg.
Watch Santa soar from the sky
What inspired Red Bull Skydive Team member Marco Waltenspiel to jump out of an airplane in a Santa suit? Just having a little fun in the few days before Christmas. Now – what's missing in this video? Well, snow! Marco Waltenspiel's flying over an unseasonably sunny Alps for December. That said, everyone at Red Bull is getting ready for the holiday – including our motorsports team and Jamie O'Brien over in Hawaii.
Click for more pictures of Santa skydiving
So is it tough to fly in the Santa suit? According to Waltenspiel, not really – in fact, he's done it before. (Sorry for trotting out an old joke. We couldn't resist!) The hardest part? Keeping the beard out of his eyes to see where he's going. Best way to do it? Keep your head down.
Who's going to have the best Christmas? Our vote goes for Adriano de Souza, who just became world champ in surfing at the Pipeline Masters.
Happy holidays and go have some adventures of your own!

Mrs. Netpackrat and I celebrated the birth of our first child, a son, just a few days ago. Aside from being on the small side (5 lbs even), he seems to be doing pretty well. He's the first male child of his generation to bear the family name, and is also named for my late cousin and father, so he's already made a lot of people happy just by showing up. It's taken us over 6 years of struggle just to get to this point. He seems pretty happy just sitting on the couch with his dad, with the mother in law's early warning system providing security overwatch:
Here is the part where I exploit my newborn son for commercial gain.... To celebrate his birth, I'm going to be offering a special on all of my rifle stocks from now until whenever I decide to discontinue doing so. Effective immediately, all stock prices are reduced by $10 each, AND I will be including free shipping with every stock purchase. Please visit my website for more details, but that's the gist of it.
Nice work. And it is traditional to celebrate the blessed arrival of a son with a party or gifts...

Gray Washed World Market Coffee Table Makeover
I have seen a lot of World Market furniture via Pinterest and other social media sites and was totally bummed out that there wasn't a store in Massachusetts. Then one day I saw a picture of the Property Brothers on Instagram at the grand-opening of a World Market store in Framingham, Massachusetts, and I was so excited! Finally, I could check out what all the hype was about. Road trip time!
So I loaded up the kiddos and headed down there. Sure enough there was beautiful housewares as far as the eye could see…and the prices were affordable! But I haven't had any reason to purchase a piece of furniture from there…until now.
We have lived without a coffee table in the family room for a while now, because of safety reasons with our two-year-old son. But now he is older and we are not as worried about major head injuries, so we decided to purchase a new coffee table to finish the space. When I found this Cameron coffee table from World Market, I new it could work in the space. I really like that it had room for storage baskets underneath. Also the price was right at $229.99.
When I brought the coffee table home and assembled it, I realized I wasn't crazy about some of the reddish-tones in the wood. So I decided to tone-it-down with a gray-wash. I had some left-over Annie Sloan chalk paint in French Linen from this project and I decided to try it out on the table.
The process of a paint wash couldn't be any simpler, I just added some water to the chalk paint until it was pretty liquidy in consistency (not an exact science), brushed it on the table in sections with a paint brush, and the immediately wiped it off with paper towels. I really tried to work the paint into the grain of the wood when I was wiping it off. Then I repeated the process to any areas of the wood that were particularly red-toned. Finally, I finished the table off with a coat of Annie Sloan's clear wax.
I think the gray tones work better in the room with the paint color and the colors in the rug. Also, I like how the black hardware on the table works with the lantern light fixture.
I am really pleased with how the table turned out, and it just goes to show that with a little paint and some elbow grease, you can transform a piece to fit your space and the look you are going for.
I am linking up to these wonderful blogs:

This is part 2 of a 2-part article series. Part one of Dr. Ford's article was published in the January 2014 issue of Dentistry Today and can be found in our archived articles at the Web site dentistrytoday.com.
The stress axis/DNA protocol for dentures is a DNA-based denture technique that standardizes both chair-side and laboratory procedures, thus providing an economically produced, personalized, high-quality value denture to not only the modest and reduced-income financial demographic, but also may be integrated into premier and elite denture services.
Part one included the historical and scientific backgrounds and an overview of the clinical and laboratory basics of the stress axis/DNA denture protocol. This article, part 2 of this 2-part introduction, will demonstrate the stress axis/DNA denture protocol for an immediate denture case, for a case correction, and for a staged-treatment, 2-appliance case.
The following case histories are presented to demonstrate the efficacy of the stress axis/DNA denture protocol.
Case 1: The Immediate Denture
A 30-year-old patient with Down syndrome presented with a worn anterior occlusal architecture with no vertical-supporting posterior dentition distal to the premaxilla. The maxillary right cuspid and the mandibular left cuspid were the most posterior teeth in the dental arches. The preoperative models indicated an anterior, functionally rotated (Figures 1 and 2) premaxilla, causing maxilla-premaxilla diastemas (the upper left quadrant diastema is assumed). Due to the patient's economic situation, no wax try-in appointment was scheduled.
After the DNA assessment and notching of the retromolar pads at the mandibular plane of occlusion, the case was mounted to the patient's centric relation bite record on a semi-adjustable articulator (Dentatus USA). For articulator stability, the right and left condylar and Bennett articulator indices were set to zero degrees.
The increase in the vertical needed was set by placing the waxing template (Myotronics-Noromed) into the DNA-guided, notched retromolar pads and mounting the case to the vertical height of the mandibular left cuspid (Figure 3).
|Figure 1. Right lateral pre-op model.
|Figure 2. Left lateral pre-op model.
|Figure 3. Waxing template set to cuspid height.
|Figure 4. Acrylic teeth set to cuspid height.
Exposing the patient to iatrogenic temporomandibular disorders (TMD) was avoided by limiting the increase in vertical height to the existing height of the left mandibular cuspid. The balance of the dentition was set to the 8-inch, 17° DNA slope, waxing template (Myotronics-Noromed) (Figure 3).
To duplicate the incisal edge position, to reacquire the youthful incisal esthetics, and to maintain the emergence profile angle, each denture tooth used to replace the existing dentition was individually embedded into each cast (Figures 4 and 5).
The acrylic intaglio of the replaced maxillary and mandibular dentition was lab-adjusted prior to, and finalized at, the insertion appointment. In the stress axis/DNA denture protocol, the mandibular wax-up is completed prior to the maxillary wax-up. To compensate for the preoperative premaxillary rotation, the maxillary anterior teeth were distalized (Figure 5). The presurgical position of the maxillary right cuspid is also seen in Figure 5. To close the diastemas caused by the functional, anterior displacement of the premaxilla, a combination of Class I (right side) and Class II (left side) occlusal patterns was used. By utilizing a posterior Class II occlusal pattern, the patient's left side premaxillary diastema was closed (Figure 6a).
|Figure 5. Original position of right maxillary cuspid.
|Figure 6a. Left lateral—Class II.
|Figure 6b. Right lateral—Class I.
|Figure 7. Wax-up for anterior occlusion.
|Figure 8. Full wax-up.
|Figure 9. Left lateral.
|Figure 10. Right lateral.
|Figure 11. Frontal view at insertion.
The right premaxilla-maxilla diastema reduction was accomplished by placing the maxillary right cuspid equidistant between the maxillary right lateral and maxillary right first bicuspid (Figures 6b to 8). The asymmetric reduction of the diastemas personalized the final esthetic result.
The deep vertical anterior occlusal pattern necessitated the use of the palatal acrylic (Diamond D Acrylic [Lincoln Dental]) for the anterior incisal occlusion (Figures 7 and 8). The acrylic was lab adjusted to provide only centric occlusal stops.
Again, the case instructions to the dental laboratory team did not include a wax try-in appointment. The clinician (familiar with the stress axis/DNA denture protocol) was kept informed during the laboratory process and made case decisions through digital images forwarded as standard jpeg e-mail attachments.
Excluding the surgical referral and post-insertion care, there were 2 appointments needed for this stress axis/DNA immediate denture case. The post-insertion images (Figures 9 to 11) indicate the normal results, which may be expected when using the stress axis/DNA denture protocol in similar immediate denture cases.
Having a known, stable, DNA-guided platform for the mandibular plane of occlusion permitted a high degree of certainty for the successful completion of this 2-appointment case. (Case history courtesy of John Murray, DDS, Glenwood Springs, Colo.)
Case 2: A Case Correction
The stress axis/DNA denture protocol provides not only a standard for the virgin or replacement denture case, but also a standard for a secondary evaluation, remounting, and finishing of an existing denture in progress.
After a requested stress axis/DNA denture re-evaluation of this full maxillary and mandibular denture wax try-in, the mandibular denture was determined to have been set into the freeway (speaking) space (Figures 12a and 12b).
The DNA-regulated mandibular plane of occlusion is the blue line below the waxed gingival margins of the mandibular right and left second molars (Figures 12a and 12b). When the mandibular model is set to the notched, DNA-corrected mandibular plane of occlusion (Figure 13), the mounting/waxing error is readily apparent.
The case was reset to the stress axis/DNA denture protocol, and after the approval of the wax try-in (Figure 14), the finished case (Figure 15) was inserted and remains trouble-free. (Case history courtesy of Charlie Belting, DDS, Alamosa, Colo.)

Case 3: Staged (Delayed) Treatment
This maxillary denture patient delayed the construct of a mandibular-opposing bilateral-free-end partial. A "dummy" partial was waxed to the DNA-guided, mandibular plane of occlusion, stress axis/DNA denture protocol (Figure 16). This assured the correct, DNA-regulated, mandibular plane of occlusion for any future mandibular removable or fixed appliance(s). (Case History courtesy of Michael Gadeken, DDS, Grand Junction, Colo.)
In January 2008, 20 million Americans qualified for food stamp assistance. Currently, more than 47 million persons in the United States have been enrolled in the food stamp assistance program. This is an increase of more than 27 million individuals in the last 5 years. Dental services will continue to be needed in all financial demographics, but these data suggest that expenditures for elective, nonemergency, dental services will be modified or postponed.
To address the changing economic demographics, both dental laboratories and dental offices can expect the stress axis/DNA protocols to provide a reliable, efficient, reproducible, evidence-based template for removable dental prosthetic procedures. Adding the retromolar pads to an impression and the midline maxillary and mandibular attached gingiva to lip-line heights to a laboratory prescription is not difficult. The 8-inch waxing templates with vertical posts, if not already in the laboratory's inventory, are readily available (Myotronics-Noromed). Economical modifications to existing equipment may be necessary. An articulator with adjustable anterior guide pin is recommended.
The DNA and stress denture protocols are an outgrowth of a value denture service to the modest and reduced income demographic. These same principles may also be used for premier and elite denture services.
This introduction to the Bimler stress axis, the golden mean gauge, and the 8-inch (17° double-helical DNA slope) protocols is offered as a procedural complement to existing value, premier, and elite denture services.
Stress axis/DNA full denture protocol involves the construction of a maxillary and mandibular full denture set based on 4 treatment data sets of information. These 4 treatment data sets are as follows:
- The first is mounting the mandibular edentulous cast to Bimler's cephalometric factor 6, which is a bone-to-bone measurement of the stress axis of the mandible to the maxilla;
- The second is the determination of the posterior boundary of the freeway (speaking) space and the height of the mandibular plane of occlusion in the edentulous (or partially edentulous) mandible utilizing the overlapping DNA width/length proportion evidenced in the golden mean gauge (Dental Designs by Dentists);
- The third and fourth are setting the anterior speaking space determinants to the maxillary and mandibular midline lip heights (measured from the attached gingiva to the height of each lip).
Standard working casts that include complete bilateral impressions of the retromolar pads are poured and trimmed. The clinician-technician team outlines the retromolar pads and utilizes the golden mean gauge (Dental Designs by Dentists) to mark the overlapping length-to-width ratio of the DNA molecule, thus demarcating the posterior boundary of the freeway (speaking) space located between the maxillary and mandibular planes of occlusion.
The anterior boundary of the freeway (speaking) space is determined by the clinical dictates of the functional, speaking, and esthetic determinants. The maxillary and mandibular anterior midline lip heights, in both the relaxed and fully opened positions, are suggested anatomic referencing points to begin the location of anterior component of the freeway (speaking) space. In private clinical trials, the midline vestibular lip heights are very close approximations to the final placement of the anterior portion of the freeway (speaking) space developed through functional, speaking, and esthetic determinants. The third and fourth treatment/data sets—the clinical maxillary and mandibular midline vestibular lip heights—are noted on the laboratory prescription and then marked on the maxillary and mandibular occlusal (bite) rims.
Prior to mounting the mandibular edentulous cast to an articulator, the cast is notched at the caudal, DNA-determined, mark on each retromolar pad, the freeway (speaking) space being just coronal to these reference points. To orient both the posterior, DNA-determined, component of the mandibular occlusal plane height and the anterior, clinically determined, mandibular occlusal plane height (at the midline height of the mandibular lip), to the DNA-determined mandibular occlusal plane, the 8-inch, heated waxing template is placed into the DNA-determined and bilaterally notched retromolar pad fulcra and rotated into the mandibular wax bite rim, melting the bite rim wax to the height of these anterior and posterior determinants of the mandibular plane of occlusion. Because the 17° slope of the 8-inch waxing template corresponds to the 17° double-helical slope of the DNA molecule, the 8-inch waxing template is recommended for this procedure.
After the mandibular cast/base plate/wax bite rim complex is modified to the anterior and posterior determinants of the mandibular plane of occlusion, it is placed into the same waxing template used to heat-modify the wax bite rim. This mandibular (cast-baseplate-wax bite rim-waxing template) complex is mounted to an articulator as one unit. The full complement of mandibular teeth, selected in concert with clinician/patient preferences, are waxed and articulated to the mounted, 8-inch radius (17° DNA, double-helical slope) metal waxing template. The unmounted maxillary base plate and wax bite rim is finished to the marked, midline vestibular lip height. Both bite rims, the maxillary cast with only the wax bite rim and the mandibular occlusal rim with the full complement of teeth in wax, are returned to the clinician for modifications.
After the second clinical appointment, during which the modifications to the maxillary bite rim (of midline, of Cupid's bow, of high lip-line, of incisal height, of centric) and to the mandibular wax-up (to incisal position, to emergence profile angle, to neutral zone placement, to shade selection approval) are made, the maxillary and the mandibular occlusal rims are returned to the laboratory to mount the maxillary cast and for functional and esthetic waxing. Unless instructed to finish the case, the laboratory forwards the waxed maxillary and mandibular arches to the clinician for the final patient/clinician adjustments.
Prior to mounting the mandibular model, it is recommended that the right/left condylar, right/left side-shift, and incisal table angulation settings on semi-adjustable articulators be set to zero degrees and all lateral articulator movements be eliminated. This allows the DNA-regulated mandibular occlusal plane height to be the only mounting variable. The incisal guide pin is set to the vertical height of the 8-inch waxing template/mandibular plane of occlusion and the case mounted to the articulator. The maxillary cast and the accompanying occlusal centric bite record are mounted to the DNA-regulated, mandibular plane of occlusion of the mounted mandibular cast. At the clinician's discretion, protrusive and lateral bite records may be recorded at the wax try-in appointment and programmed into the articulator prior to the final wax-up.
In addition to the full maxillary and mandibular denture treatment, the stress axis/DNA protocols have proven useful in treatment planning complex anterior hyper-eruption cases, financially determined staged-treatment protocols, immediate denture cases (that, under certain circumstances, may be completed with no wax try-in appointment), TMD/equilibration assessment, second opinion cases, reassessment of existing treatments in progress, and implant-retained removable dental prostheses.

Or if it doesn't, would you sacrifice some FPS for higher graphic properties?
Yes, oh my god YES!
Some people might not care and it wouldn't make a difference but I outright refuse to play almost any game that can't run higher than 30. I can tolerate 45FPS but anything lower than that really irks me and affects my gameplay.
But 30 to 60 is a huge difference, like day and night to me.
I will reduce the game to DOS-level graphics if that means I get 60FPS out of it.

The higher the FPS the better, but I don't have any issues as long as its 30+ and stable.
as long as the fps stays stable it doesn't matter much if its 60 or not ... because you just do not want those fps spikes during a match because when they happen you get a second or half second stand stills or delays resulting in your death ...
I could barely tell the difference between 30 FPS and 60 FPS.
I make sure every game I play runs at 60 fps minimum. Why? Because it means I'll be able to participate in player dense events as well as being able to record gameplay
After high-FPS, there is no turning-back.
At 10 FPS I rage. At 20 FPS I get really anoyed. At 30 I am fine if it's steady. At 60 makes me feel good. But I don't really notice above 30. The problem with 30 FPS is sometimes it dips to 20. I often play on lowest settings to get good framerate, and after buying a new computer never bother switching to normal rez.
I don't care as long as it's stable and playable. Heck, if 15FPS is stable and doesn't stutter like crazy then I wouldn't even mind that. It doesn't really matter though. My PC runs anything at 60+ atm (well, except GW2, but they ****ed up the engine )
If your on console it doesn't matter since most games stay at 30FPS, or even less, and it's consistent. PC doesn't seem to run games as consistently at lower framerates, especially if the machine is struggling to reach it, but a good pc can handle much higher FPS which makes it smoother. So I'd say consoles are better at running games at lower framerates because they are developed specifically with them in mind, whereas PC just kinda allows for a variety but is more suited for higher framerates.
At least that is what I've seen when comparing the same games on different platforms. Borderlands 1 and 2 are a pretty good example of that. I'm good though with 25FPS and up as long as it's solid but now that I have a better PC I don't have to sacrifice anything.

UPDATE 2-CPPIB joins chorus against Barrick's executive pay structure
(Adds CPPIB comment, market reaction)
By Euan Rocha
TORONTO, April 24 (Reuters) - The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, the country's largest pension fund manager, on Friday joined other investors opposing Barrick Gold Corp's executive compensation schemes, arguing the company's pay awards were "outsize" and unrelated to performance.
Toronto-based CPPIB said it plans to come out against the advisory vote on executive compensation that Barrick will be having at its annual shareholder meeting next week.
It also said it plans to withhold support from Brett Harvey, one of Barrick's board members and the chair of its compensation committee. CPPIB own roughly 8.1 million Barrick shares, or less than a percent of the company's outstanding stock.
"We continue to be concerned with the company's practice of granting outsized awards on a largely discretionary basis, which we believe is inconsistent with the governance principle of pay-for-performance," said CPPIB in a statement.
Last week, two smaller Canadian pension funds, the British Columbia Investment Management Corp (BCIMC) and the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Board, said they plan to withhold support from Barrick's entire board in light of their concerns with Barrick's executive compensation package.
This marks the second time in three years that Barrick is facing heat over its executive pay. The company lost an advisory vote on its executive pay structure in 2013, prompting it to lay out a new compensation program last year. However, the company's recent disclosure that Executive Chairman John Thornton was paid $12.9 million in 2014 unleashed fresh complaints.
Barrick contends that with its new pay structure, its senior leaders' personal wealth is directly tied to the company's long-term success. (bit.ly/1GUbZ9I) Continued...

Perth has never held many terrors for the British and Irish Lions, who scored more than 100 points on their last visit here a dozen years ago, but the tourists' latest comfortable victory on Western Australian soil was tarnished by the early loss of the Irish prop Cian Healy, who left the field on a stretcher after suffering a nasty ankle injury.
It happened shortly before the interval and looked grim. Carrying the ball near halfway, he was tackled by the Western Force flanker Angus Cottrell and hit the ground hard, his face contorted in pain. Within seconds, the tourists' medical staff signalled for the stretcher. Two of Healy's clubmates at Leinster, the centre Brian O'Driscoll and the No 8 Jamie Heaslip, ran over to offer heartfelt sympathy – a clear sign of their concern.
Already 17-3 up after tries from the Irish outside-half Jonathan Sexton, who ambled through a disconnected Force defence in the fourth minute, and O'Driscoll, who touched down in the corner after a smart exchange of passes with the impressive George North, the Lions reacted to this blow by pushing things along on the scoreboard. Leigh Halfpenny, in prime kicking form, added an immediate penalty and then converted from the touchline as Tom Croft, the England flanker, maximised a big overlap with the help of Sean O'Brien and Alun Wyn Jones.
Not that things had gone completely to plan. After Sexton's soft opening try, the Lions found themselves in difficulties as the Force found ways of exerting pressure, scrummaging confidently and making their presence felt at the tackle area through Cottrell and the combative Wallaby back-rower Matt Hodgson. There was also an uncomfortable moment when Force players complained of a biting incident, but a referral to the television official Glenn Newman yielded nothing in the way of hard evidence.
The Lions were happy enough by the break, though, and when the impressive Heaslip set sail in open field on the restart and then completed the job by scoring from Sexton's magisterial pass off the left hand, they set their sights on a big score. Pegged back momentarily by a close-range try from the Force No 8 Richard Brown, they were back on the rampage within minutes, Mako Vunipola crashing through the overmatched full-back Sam Christie in the right corner. Halfpenny's angled conversion was as perfectly struck as the others.
Indeed, Halfpenny delivered a master class in marksmanship. A second O'Driscoll try, cleverly created by Sexton and Manu Tuilagi; a cruising score for Owen Farrell; a close-range finish from the substitute lock Geoff Parling…all were improved by the Welsh full-back, who ended the evening with a faultless haul of 24 points.
In all, the Lions ran in nine tries, some of them of high quality. They would have preferred a tougher hit-out – the Force rested a number of their best players ahead of a Super 15 game this weekend – but Halfpenny, North, O'Driscoll and Sexton in particular made big claims for Test places against the Wallabies.
