Dental Implants
upon request
This information is intended for general information only and should not be considered as medical advice on the part of Health-Tourism.com. Any decision on medical treatments, after-care or recovery should be done solely upon proper consultation and advice of a qualified physician.
This is an artificial tooth root, which is put into your jaw to hold a bridge or a replacement tooth. A dental implant might be an alternative for those who have lost a tooth or teeth because of an injury, periodontal disease, or periodontal, or some other cause.
Generally, anybody healthy enough to go through a routine oral surgery or dental extraction may be considered for a dental implant. Patients must have enough bone and healthy gums to hold the implant. Patients who have had radiation therapy to the neck/head area, heavy smokers, or those affected by uncontrolled chronic diseases, like heart disease or diabetes must be examined on a personal basis. If you're thinking about implants, consult your dentist to be certain they are best for you.
Based on your specific problem and the kind of implant selected, your periodontist will make a treatment plan customized to meet your needs.
Dental implants are similar to your own teeth and will need the same care. So as to keep your implant plaque-free and clean, brushing and flossing still have to be done.
After treatment, your periodontist will work very closely with you and your dentist to create the perfect care plan for you. Regular follow-up visits will be planned to observe your gums, implant, and teeth, to ensure they are healthy.
Many people who have got dental implants state that there is hardly any pain associated with the procedure. Local anesthesia may be used during the procedure, and many patients state that implants have minimal discomfort compared to a tooth extraction.
Dental implants need the same attention as actual teeth, which include frequent dental checkups, flossing, brushing, and rinsing using an antibacterial mouthwash.

Boleros: Yea or Nay?
Actually, wait! I had completely forgotten until just this moment that I wore a bolero at my wedding and liked it quite a bit. Shall we take a little trip down memory lane?
Here I am as a blushing bride, in my little white bolero.
Also, I'm not trying to brag here, but can I just take a moment to appreciate how great my skin looked?
Aww, how cute were we?!
I'm sorry, what were we talking about? Ah yes, boleros.
I was interested to hear in the comments how many of you are anti-bolero. Fascinating! I always thought boleros were kind of innocuous, and not really deserving of strong opinion either way. Though, before I embarked upon making my black velvet bolero, I remarked to my husband that I worried I would look like a dancing monkey in such a get-up. His reply? "Just don't wear a fez . . . and steer clear of men with organ grinders." (He's cute and funny!)
And then there's the fact that boleros are ubiquitous as prom and bridesmaid attire, usually in pastel polyester. Exhibit A:
Though I want to state for the record that the pattern above is a great basic bolero pattern. I'm merely pointing to the styling of it.
But I want to hear from you. Boleros: yea or nay?
38 comments:
I like them - in the right context - not pastel polyester, but velvet, wool, and other cool fabrics, they are very retro-chicReplyDelete
I don't really have an opinion either way when it comes to boleros, I just wanted to say you looked beautiful on your wedding day! I love your hair and the flower.ReplyDelete
You are stunning in your wedding pictures! Boleros: On other people, yea! On me, nay. Only because I am really tall and very long legged and short waisted, so a bolero exaggerates all the wrong things on me.ReplyDelete
I'm a big fan of buttons myself, so I don't tend to wear anything that doesn't button..at least if I want it to. So no boleros in the closet. But I'm not opposed to them, in fact I quite like the drawn-on-sleeve on the pattern envelope, which I think it what you're making in plum? That would be super cute :)ReplyDelete
I have tried to wear boleros but all I manage to do is look ridicules. So nay for me.ReplyDelete
Your wedding pictures are beautiful. :-)
- AnonymousOctober 8, 2009 at 9:47 AM
I didn't think I liked boleros, but I love the one you made below with the blouson sleeves. If the sleeves were straight, I don't think it would have worked.ReplyDelete
I agree - you look so beautiful in your wedding pictuires.
I WISH I could have found a bolero for my wedding dress! Instead my chubby little baby arms were exposed to all the world! I like boleros...on other people. I like the idea of them, but not on me. I don't think I have the right body type for them. But I do love yours!ReplyDelete
Personally, I dig the bolero, and they look nice on me. It's a cool little thing you can throw on if you don't want to do a full-on sweater or jacket with a dress. And I have to agree that you look amazing in your pictures! Also, that pattern you showed is yes, very bridesmaid-like, BUT, with the right fabric and embellishments it could be very 50s style. I mean, leopard and black would look really smart, you know?ReplyDelete
Thank you for continuing to be extremely inspirational to me-I read your blog every day and love it so much! Wish you lived in Phoenix-I need a sewing buddy!
I don't mind boleros. They seem to be a good way to keep warm without hiding too much of a dress or a figure.ReplyDelete
You looked really nice for your wedding. The pixie bangs look great on you.
I like your blog. It's fun. I just started sewing a few months ago but it took a little while to find blogs of others who sew with a style that appealed to me. Thank you!
forget the boleros--how GREAT was your hair?!ReplyDelete
(but for the record, i join the masses of anti-bolero folks)
Lovely photos! Love the hair. Now to boleros--I love the look when I see it on others, but I don't like them on me. I want more coverage on my self-conscious area!ReplyDelete
I've never been a big fan, because the ready-made sort look horrid on me. Short waisted/small chested - I need more definition than a bolero gives. I'm a cardigan girl. Boleros are fine - for other people.ReplyDelete
Seeing the cute vintage illustrations, and your cute velvet bolero, make me wonder if I'm missing out. If I had a bolero that fit my proportions, perhaps I would be a bit more keen on them.
Also - your wedding photos are beautiful! Very cute together :) And your hair was absolutely amazing - makes me wish I could pull off short hair.
boleros => YAY.ReplyDelete
I would have worn one to my wedding 5 years ago if I had been better at fitting. At that time, I still hadn't learned my own fitting requirements.
You, look AMAZING in your wedding pics!
boleros => YAY
Wow! You looked so beautiful on your wedding day. And yes, you had and have great skin.ReplyDelete
I haven't worn boleros as of yet, but I would like to give them a try. I think they are very stylish looking. I'm sure it depends on the body type, though. Boleros look great on you.
I would say ... it depends. I live near Spain, so 1/ bolero always smacks of torero to me (yuck) and 2/ here, it's usually dogdy, loud, polyester ones worn by the regional speciality, the kind of girl we call the "cagole" (think cheaply-clad, polyester-loving, over-tanned and rather low-class airhead with a tendancy to chew gum noisily, talk very loud to her Iphone and show way too much undeserving skin).ReplyDelete
So I basically, I don't like them.
But here and there, I found some I like. Like the one pictured on your book, or your wedding one. When it's a classy design in a classy fabric with the right clothes around and the right person underneath, it's beautiful. But it's so easy to go wrong with them ... I just don't dare :)
(By the way, sorry for my English, it's not my 1st language ...)
i like the look of some, especially in wool, as a winter look...ReplyDelete
but they make me look like a broad-shouldered midget with giant breasts and no hips. so no thanks.
I've always loved boleros! And can I just say your wedding photos are stunning, you made such a beautiful bride!!ReplyDelete
How on earth could anyone hate a bolero? They basically serve the purpose of belts when you don't want to wear one - emphasizing your waist.ReplyDelete
I don't have one, but I like them! They're on my to-sew list. :)
Boleros: an enthusiastic YES! Because sometimes its impossible to find a little cardigan sweater or shrug that will match a newly-made dress. It's incredibly easy to whip up a quick and perky little bolero in matching fabric. Even easier if you make it reversable!ReplyDelete
A bolero can look great with a vintage, strappy or strapless dress, the right one, that is. Wow, that close up of you at the wedding, you look a bit like Wynona Ryder in her youth, in a good way, very pixie like.ReplyDelete
I am pro-bolero on other people, but anti-bolero on me. As I am the widest by far in my shoulders and bust, in a bolero I look a bit like a hulking linebacker. I think they look great on women with daintier top halves, a very feminine look.ReplyDelete
Did you notice how many people said yes to boleros - but not on them?ReplyDelete
Your wedding pics? Gorgeous! What a chic ensemble you had!ReplyDelete
I'm with the others... boleros on others hooray :)
Beautiful bride!ReplyDelete
I am a vote for yay. I particularly love boleros of the sweater/knit kind with a fancy ribbing. They look great over a plain frock and really emphasize the waist.
I wear boleros, crop sweaters, and the like when pregnant. Otherwise, I never think about them!ReplyDelete
You and your husband are adorable!
Great wedding pics! Chanel was big on boleros. you can findlots of photos of her in them with gowns mostly.ReplyDelete
You are adorable in your wedding pics! Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
You look beautiful on your wedding day!! (Not that you don't now!) Your hair was so cute! How long have you been married?ReplyDelete
I think boleros are cute with some evening gowns, but don't know that I would be particularly fond of them with other outfits.
- AnonymousOctober 8, 2009 at 11:43 PM
Yea for boleros! I love them on most people. I love you with short hair! Just too stylish for words! Married about five years or so?ReplyDelete
No, I'm not really in the bolero camp. I know it looks cute with some outfits, but most of the time it just isn't my thing. I can't even really explain why.ReplyDelete
Beautiful wedding pictures by the way. You look very lovely, soft and romantic, and very happy!
I really like boleros. I have a few and find them quite versatile. I have a short sleeve knit one I regularly wear at work, I have a couple of jersey ones and a lace one. Plus I have a very Spanish style white one that I love but have never been game to wear out because people might mistake me for a Flamenco dancer. I just admire it occasionally :)ReplyDelete
While on the subject I'd love to make this knit one http://www.burdafashion.com/en/Magazines/Archives/145_Bolero_jacket_106_A_Skirt/1270777-1463237-1484044-1484047-1484243.html
Aw, thanks everyone. You're making me want to cut all my hair off again! It was fun pulling the old wedding album out. And yes, we celebrated our five year anniversary this past June!ReplyDelete
I think the success of a bolero is almost entirely dependent upon the figure of the wearer. I only say "almost" because I am sure that the exact cut and the overall outfit may have some influence. I think the one you wore at your wedding looks fabulous, and it looks good on the pattern envelope, but it does not look good on me. I am essentially reverse-pear shape; I have large breasts, but my hips and waist are essentially the same size. If I wear a bolero, it just makes my breasts look huge and saggy.ReplyDelete
Now, back when I was a tween and still developing, I made a bolero that I liked a lot. It had a scalloped edge, and was therefor probably one of the most advanced sewing projects I have ever made.
- AnonymousOctober 10, 2009 at 10:24 AM
Boleros YAY all the way! Love them! They make me happy :)ReplyDelete
Can I just say how gorgeous you looked on your wedding day?! Fabulous dress and I love love your hair!
I'd also like to say how beautiful you looked on your wedding day!ReplyDelete
As for boleros, I'm like you, hadn't given them much thought, but I have to say the short sleeve cross-fronted version of your pattern is making me take notice! Looking forward your next bolero incarnation! Happy sewing
- AnonymousOctober 11, 2009 at 10:49 PM
Not a fan of boleros at all.I don't like half jackets. Your wedding pix are very sweet!ReplyDelete
I love them as an alternative to cardigans...being short and curvy, they help sectionalize and streamline my body (the fashion theory of three at work here!) into smaller bits rather than a lunky torso and a lunky bottom section. They are adorable over t-shirts.ReplyDelete
How wonderful this will I try it Thank youReplyDelete

SEATTLE — Mike Steenhout knows spreadsheets, statistics and bean-counting. He has worked as a budget assistant to the governor, managed local operations for the U.S. Census Bureau and analyzed juvenile crime databases.
Now, the married, minivan-driving father of a small child is a weed guy — one of the dozens of Washington state workers involved in the creation and regulation of the nation's first legal pot industry.
So he spends his days studying a substance that until recently he knew almost nothing about, beyond the few joints he smoked in college. It feels like cramming for a final exam, he says.
"It's very surreal," Steenhout said recently as he stood in a darkened room full of blossoming pot plants. "I generally go to work fairly early, around 6:30 or 7, and leave about 5 or 6, and I'm pretty much talking about marijuana in one way or another every single hour."
Steenhout's cannabis crash course could be for naught if the U.S. Justice Department sues to keep legal pot sales that Washington and Colorado voters approved last fall from taking effect. Marijuana remains illegal under federal law.
In Washington, voters legalized pot for adults over 21 and set up a system of state-licensed pot growers, processors and stores.
The state has hired a Massachusetts firm to serve as its official marijuana consultant, but the Liquor Control Board, which collects taxes and fees from booze sales and licensing, is also doing its own research into how to best regulate pot.
Steenhout, the agency's comptroller, has new duties that include researching quality assurance: how the pot can be produced, processed and tested to ensure the final product doesn't have contaminants such as mold and that there is a consistent potency when it reaches store shelves.
His research will help inform the board's three voting members as they decide what to require of the industry. All rules need to be finalized before the agency begins issuing licenses to retail stores in December.
Steenhout is traveling to marijuana grow operations, processors and testing labs in California, Colorado and Washington.
On his cellphone, he keeps video of a 75,000-square-foot marijuana grow he visited in Colorado that he uses to impress the folks at the smaller Washington operations.
One morning recently, dressed in a green sweater, jeans and sneakers, Steenhout walked into a first-floor office in Seattle's University District — the Care Wellness Center, a clinic that writes authorizations for medical marijuana patients.
Steenhout was there for presentations from Cale Burkhart, who makes pot-infused lotions, creams and tinctures, and from the proprietors of Analytical 360, a Seattle lab that tests marijuana and marijuana products for strength and impurities.
Clear glass mason jars filled with dried marijuana flowers, leaves and a viscous brown liquid — pot-infused, vegetable-based glycerine, a potent tincture that can be taken under the tongue with a medicine dropper — were lined up on a table as Burkhart spoke.
He described how the lab tests the strength of his infusions, and then gives him a formula to determine how much more glycerine he needs to add to dilute the tincture to its desired potency, 75 milligrams per fluid ounce.
Burkhart keeps records for every batch noting how it was made, at what temperature the glycerine was infused, how strong it was before dilution and other details.
Steenhout took notes on a white legal pad in a folder on his lap, examined small jars containing Burkhart's products, such as a muscle-and-joint rub made with pot, mint oil and cayenne pepper, and asked questions that betrayed how far his education has come.
Should the recommended serving size vary among tinctures and other types of edibles, such as brownies or drinks?
What should the minimum qualifications be for lab workers who sign off on marijuana quality-assurance tests?
Does Analytical 360 just use standard lab procedures from the United States Pharmacopeia, or from overseas compendia as well?
"Oh my Gosh, he's grown so much," noted Greta Carter, the clinic's owner.
About an hour later, Steenhout was inside a red, two-story building fenced with barbed wire in industrial South Seattle — a marijuana grow operation that helps supply the Conscious Care Cooperative, a medical marijuana collective with 8,000 patients.
He was surrounded by hundreds of pot plants of various sizes, but seemed most impressed with the few pages of a document describing the grow-op's standard procedures — what nutrients the plants are given and when, when foliage sprays are applied.
"See, this is useful," Steenhout said. "I've been thinking a lot about GMPs, you know" — good manufacturing practices.
In another room, Jim Andersen, with a company called XTracted, showed Steenhout how he uses a closed-system extraction device — a contraption of metal cylinders and tubes — to make hash oil from marijuana buds or leaves.
The system uses a vacuum to inject and then completely remove the butane solvent from the product, and virtually eliminates the risk of explosion because no oxygen is introduced, he said.
Andersen pulled several types of hash oil out of a black plastic tub to show Steenhout, and offered to send him home with some samples. Steenhout politely declined.
"I get that all the time," he said later. "These people are proud of what they do."
After one final stop at a Seattle business park, to visit a company that makes extraction systems, Steenhout was ready to drive back to Olympia. He was asked whether, after his months of work, he planned to buy marijuana from a state-licensed store once it's available.
"I have no idea," he said. "I haven't really thought about it."

This is a case about whether the state courts must follow the doctrine that has in the past applied to federal courts that are considering whether to grant habeas corpus relief to persons who are in custody after conviction in state court. The problem is that the conviction followed a state court proceeding that complied with the federal constitutional law that the Supreme Court had articulated at the time. The Supreme Court said, in Teague v. Lane, that the federal court, on habeas, should not require the state court to redo its work according to a higher standard that was only announced later. The question in Danforth is whether the state courts can follow their own procedure and require new trials that satisfy the higher standard. Danforth was convicted of sexually abusing a child whose testimony was presented on videotape, but the Supreme Court, after his conviction became final, determined that the 6th Amendment requires live testimony. Federal courts, following Teague, won't order the new trial on habeas, but why shouldn't the state courts have the autonomy to establish their own law about whether there will be a retrial in this situation?
There are two significant matters here that ought to appeal to a conservative Justice.
First, originalism. If you are an originalist, there should be no coherent idea that rights are "new." Rights are what they are. The Court may have newly discovered those rights and failed to notice them in the past. But a case announcing a "new rule of constitutional law" should not mean that the right came into being at that point. If you think that, you believe the Constitution grows and evolves. That is the very idea that Justice Scalia mocks whenever he gives a speech, but here's the attitude he took at oral argument:
Now, you can argue, and there are many originalists who would agree with you, that there shouldn't be such a thing as a new rule, but once you've -- once you've agreed that there can be new rules, if this Court says this is a new rule, we acknowledge it wasn't the rule before, but it's new, it will not have retroactive effect, it seems to me that the State would be contradicting that ruling by saying oh, in our view the law used to be exactly what you say it newly is.Once you've -- once you've agreed ... Why is he agreeing?! Every fiber of his being should be screaming no. A "new rule" isn't a new right. It's a newly discovered right. Is he playing dumb? Why? This should fuel the critics who say he's just hostile to the rights of the criminally accused.
Justice Stevens calls him on it:
JUSTICE STEVENS: But your basic position is that we should not be making new law. We should be -- we might have misinterpreted the law over the years, but, basically, this Court has no power to change the text of the Constitution or its meaning. I guess Justice Scalia's position is we have all that power in the world.Isn't it nice that everyone had a laugh? I can see laughing if you enjoy seeing Scalia openly displaying hypocrisy and don't care that a man is in prison who might have gone free if he'd had the chance to cross-examine the witness against him. I don't think it's funny at all.
JUSTICE SCALIA: My position is we have asserted all that power in the world.
Second, federalism. A conservative justice should care about the autonomous operation of the state court system, subject to the demands of federal law. Teague expressed the deference federal judges owe to the state courts who performed their obligation to enforce federal law well enough and therefore deserve not to have to redo their work according to constitutional law standards they didn't know existed.
Perhaps Teague should be extended to prevent the state courts from offering a broader remedy for the violation of a newly discovered right, but why would that be? Why can't the state courts devise their own remedial approach? A conservative justice should see the need to articulate a reason for turning what was deference to state courts into a limitation on state courts. Yet Chief Justice Roberts seemed eager to conflate remedies and rights. He asserted that the nonretroactivity of a right is part of the definition of the right, and then said that retroactivity "at least" a matter of federal common law, "and doesn't Federal common law preempt State common law?"
Now, that is a question, not an assertion, so perhaps he realizes — I certainly hope he realizes — that there would still be a question of the scope of that federal common law.
Teague applied to federal courts on habeas deciding whether to upset a conviction that had become final. If you want to extend the principle to state courts and deny them the power to fashion their own approach to providing remedies for newly discovered federal constitutional rights, you need to do some common law reasoning and explain why — including why it's good federalism.
UPDATE: Orin Kerr comments on this post:
In response to Ann's second post, I think I disagree with her about the originalist point. There is no inconsistency between being an originalist as a normative matter but a legal realist when asked to explain how the Court actually works. It seems to me that an originalist could look at Crawford and say that the right should have been recognized but wasn't, and that for various reasons habeas relief should be premised on compliance with the law as it was recognized at the time rather than the law as it should have been understood to be.I don't think you need to disagree with me. You can say that the right was always there. It existed at the time of the trial, unbeknowst to the state court, and a federal court should not not enforce it by upsetting a decision that became final before the right was discovered and proclaimed. You don't have to abandon originalism to accept Teague.
That seems to be Scalia's position. I also think the criticism falls a bit flat with Justice Scalia in particular, as he is a partial, once-in-a-while originalist rather than a consistent defender of the method.I don't think he wants to sign on to the notion of a living constitution.
On the other hand, I agree with Ann about the federalism point.Thanks!

Electrical System
When cars were first developed they were relatively simple machines. The electrical system consisted of a battery, a starter, and an alternator.
As automobile's electrical systems have become more advanced,
evolving to include computer-controls, sensors and other components, diagnosing
and repairing your vehicle has become much more complicated.
The electrical systems require professional care. While most people know that when a car's "check engine" light comes on they should call the mechanic, few car owners realize that they should have their car's entire charging and starting system checked every two years. Malfunction or failure of any of the various electrical system components can hinder performance, reduce fuel efficiency, or even cause a car fire. The following is a partial list of your cars systems and parts that are part of the electrical system.

...Zaerc,I was really asking if anybody had any pointers to what might be causing this issue. I thought my first post may have been overlooked for some reason so I was re-posting without re-posting. I had already searched the forums and the wiki. I spend time helping with others issues where I can from my own experiences or things I have read. I wasn't 'expecting' or demanding an answer, sorry if you think I wasJason
I tried a different machine and exactly the same problem.Any suggestions?I did just move from the UK to the US and therefore the Core was in a container for 6 wks. When I started it back up a new MD wouldn't install and my PDA orbiter wouldn't work either. Is it possible something has got corrupted? can I reset/reinstall the OS/LMCE without losing my media which is on the same 1TB drive?

Report on Bagana (Papua New Guinea) — 1 June-7 June 2016
Smithsonian Institution / US Geological Survey
Weekly Volcanic Activity Report, 1 June-7 June 2016
Managing Editor: Sally Sennert.
Please cite this report as:
Global Volcanism Program, 2016. Report on Bagana (Papua New Guinea) (Sennert, S, ed.). Weekly Volcanic Activity Report, 1 June-7 June 2016. Smithsonian Institution and US Geological Survey.
Papua New Guinea
6.137°S, 155.196°E; summit elev. 1855 m
All times are local (unless otherwise noted)
Based on analyses of satellite imagery and model data, the Darwin VAAC reported that on 2 June ash plumes from Bagana rose to an altitude of 2.1 km (7,000 ft) a.s.l. and drifted 75 km in multiple directions.
Geological Summary. Bagana volcano, occupying a remote portion of central Bougainville Island, is one of Melanesia's youngest and most active volcanoes. This massive symmetrical cone was largely constructed by an accumulation of viscous andesitic lava flows. The entire edifice could have been constructed in about 300 years at its present rate of lava production. Eruptive activity is frequent and characterized by non-explosive effusion of viscous lava that maintains a small lava dome in the summit crater, although explosive activity occasionally producing pyroclastic flows also occurs. Lava flows form dramatic, freshly preserved tongue-shaped lobes up to 50 m thick with prominent levees that descend the flanks on all sides.

TILBURY, JOHN: Cornelius Cardew - A life Unfinished
A massive (1070 pp) book, over 30 years in the writing - and as far as I have got to date - beautifully written. Thorough and without fat, Tilbury never loses sight of what is important or relevant and doesn't pursue trivia. By page 29 we are at the Royal Academy and then follow Cornelius through his years in K�ln with Stockhausen (and the Darmstadters), his return to the UK, Treatise, AMM, The Scratch Orchestra and The Great Learning, then his twists and reconsiderations in the light of an extreme political conversion - with much background and insight drawn from Cardew's own journals and the recollections and testimonies of friends and acquaintances. That's as far as I have got so far, coming next is the long Maoist period, his critiques of Stockhausen, AMM and his earlier works, People's Liberation Music, arrest and imprisonment and what really happened toward the end of his short but very eventful life. No one could wish for a better biographer, Tilbury is understanding but not apologetic, painting a picture that leaves space for what can't be known, attempting to represent events honestly, irrespective of whether they reflect well or badly on his subject. This is neither hagiography nor trouble-making, trying rather to take an unsentimental, unsanitised position on the manifold complexities of Cardew's life and work. It is also a history of the rather remarkable and significant times through which Cardew lived - culturally, socially and politically - as an engaged and not uninfluential actor. Tilbury is also an actor in this story and he doesn't pretend to be neutral, he does however carefully recognise and distinguish his own understandings and self understandings from those of his subject. So far as I have got, this is an exemplary biography and an important historical document, at once a profound insight into the musical innovations of the '50s and '60s and a joy to read.

Victims claim Marines failed to safeguard water supply
CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. – & A simple test could have alerted officials that the drinking water at Camp Lejeune was contaminated, long before authorities determined that as many as a million Marines and their families were exposed to a witch's brew of cancer-causing chemicals. But no one responsible for the lab at the base can recall that the procedure -- mandated by the Navy -- was ever conducted. The U.S. Marine Corps maintains that the carbon chloroform extract (CCE) test would not have uncovered the carcinogens that fouled the southeastern North Carolina base's water system from at least the mid-1950s until wells were capped in the mid-1980s. But experts say even this "relatively primitive" test -- required by Navy health directives as early as 1963 -- would have told officials that something was terribly wrong beneath Lejeune's sandy soil. A just-released study from the federal Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry cited a February 1985 level for trichloroethylene of 18,900 parts per billion in one Lejeune drinking water well -- nearly 4,000 times today's maximum allowed limit of 5 ppb. Given those kinds of numbers, environmental engineer Marco Kaltofen said even a testing method as inadequate as CCE should have raised some red flags with a "careful analyst." "That's knock-your-socks-off level -- even back then," said Kaltofen, who worked on the infamous Love Canal case in upstate New York, where drums of buried chemical waste leaked toxins into a local water system. "You could have smelled it." Biochemist Michael Hargett agrees that CCE, while imperfect, would have been enough to prompt more specific testing in what is now recognized as the worst documented case of drinking-water contamination in the nation's history. "I consider it disingenuous of the Corps to say, `Well, it wouldn't have meant anything,"' said Hargett, co-owner of the private lab that tried to sound the alarm about the contamination in 1982. "The levels of chlorinated solvent that we discovered ... they would have gotten something that said, `Whoops. I've got a problem.' They didn't do that." Trichloroethylene (TCE), tetrachloroethylene (PCE), benzene and other toxic chemicals leeched into ground water from a poorly maintained fuel depot and indiscriminate dumping on the base, as well as from an off-base dry cleaner. Nearly three decades after the first drinking-water wells were closed, victims are still awaiting a final federal health assessment -- the original 1997 report having been withdrawn because faulty or incomplete data. Results of a long-delayed study on birth defects and childhood cancers were only submitted for publication in late April. Many former Lejeune Marines and family members who lived there believe the Corps still has not come clean about the situation, and the question of whether these tests were conducted is emblematic of the depth of that mistrust. Marine Corps officials have repeatedly said that federal environmental regulations for these cancer-causing chemicals were not finalized under the Safe Drinking Water Act until 1989 -- about four years after the contaminated wells had been identified and taken out of service. But victims who have scoured decades-old documents say the military's own health standards should have raised red flags long before. In 1963, the Navy's Bureau of Medicine and Surgery issued "The Manual of Naval Preventive Medicine." Chapter 5 is titled "Water Supply Ashore." "The water supply should be obtained from the most desirable sources which is feasible, and effort should be made to prevent or control pollution of the source," it reads. At the time, the Defense Department adopted water quality standards set by the U.S. Public Health Service. To measure that quality, the Navy manual identified CCE "as a technically practical procedure which will afford a large measure of protection against the presence of undetected toxic materials in finished drinking water." Also referred to as the "oil and grease test," CCE was intended to protect against an "unwarranted dosage of the water consumer with ill-defined chemicals," according to the Navy manual. The CCE standard set in 1963 was 200 ppb. In 1972, the Navy further tightened it to no more than 150 ppb. In response to a request from The Associated Press, Capt. Kendra Motz said the Marines could produce no copies of CCE test results for Lejeune, despite searching for "many hours." "Some documents that might be relevant to your question may no longer be maintained by the Marine Corps or the Department of the Navy in accordance with records management policies," she wrote in an email. "The absence of records 50 years later does not necessarily mean action was not taken." But the two men who oversaw the base lab told the AP they were not even familiar with the procedure. "A what?" asked Julian Wooten, who was head of the Lejeune environmental section during the 1970s, when asked if his staff had ever performed the CCE test. "I never saw anything, unless the (Navy's) preventive medicine people were doing some. I don't have any knowledge of that kind of operation or that kind of testing being done. Not back then." "I have no knowledge of it," said Danny Sharpe, who succeeded Wooten as section chief and was in charge when the first drinking water wells were shut down in the mid-1980s. "I don't remember that at all." Wooten was an ecologist, and Sharpe's background is in forestry and soil conservation. But Elizabeth Betz, the supervisory chemist at Lejeune from 1979 to 1995, was also at a loss when asked about the CCE testing. "I do not remember any such test being requested nor do I remember seeing any such test results," Betz, who later worked for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's national exposure branch at Research Triangle Park outside Raleigh, wrote in a recent e-mail. Hargett, the former co-owner of Grainger Laboratories in Raleigh, said he never saw any evidence that the base was testing and treating for anything beyond e coli and other bacteria. "That was a state regulation ... that they had to maintain a sanitary water supply," he said. "And they did a good job at that." Motz, the Marine spokeswoman, told the AP that the method called for in the manual would not have detected the toxins at issue in the Camp Lejeune case. "The CCE method includes a drying step and a distillation (evaporation) step where chloroform is completely evaporated," she wrote in an email. These volatile organic compounds, "by their chemical nature, would evaporate readily as well," she wrote. ATSDR contacted the EPA about the "utility" of such testing and concluded it would be of no value in detecting TCE, PCE, or benzene, Deputy Director Tom Sinks wrote in an email to members of a community assistance panel on Lejeune. "It is doubtful that the weight of their residue would be detectable when subjected to this method," Sinks wrote. Kaltofen, a professor at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts, acknowledged that CCE is "a relatively primitive test." But in addition to the water's odor, Kaltofen said, "there are some things that a careful analyst would easily have noticed." Hargett agreed. "It would have prompted you to simply say, `Wow. There is something here. Let's do some additional work,"' he told the AP. Any "reputable chemist ... would have raised their hands to the person responsible and said, `Guys. You ought to look at this. There's more here."' The Marines have said such high readings were merely spikes. But Kaltofen countered that, "You can't get that level even once without having a very serious problem ... It's the worst case." In a recent interview, Wooten told the AP that he knew something was wrong with the water as early as the 1960s, when he worked in the maintenance department. "I was usually the first person in in the big building that we worked in," he said. "And I'd cut the water on and let it run, just go and flush the commodes and cut the water on and let it run for several minutes before I'd attempt to make coffee." Wooten said he made repeated budget requests for additional equipment and lab workers. But as Betz told a federal fact-finding group, "the lab was very low on the priority list at the base." She said her group -- the Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs Department -- was "like the `red headed stepchild."' Even a series of increasingly urgent reports from an Army lab at Fort McPherson, Ga., beginning in late 1980, failed to prompt any real action. "WATER HIGHLY CONTAMINATED WITH OTHER CHLORINATED HYDROCARBONS (SOLVENTS!)" cautioned one memo from the Army lab in early 1981. Because the base water system drew on a rotating basis from a number of different wells, subsequent tests showed no problems, and officials chalked these "interferences" up to flukes. One base employee told the fact-finding group that in 1980, "they simply did not have the money nor capacity" to test every drinking-water well on the base. "This type of money would have cost well over $100,000, and their entire operating budget was $100,000," the employee said, according to a heavily redacted summary obtained by the AP from the Department of Justice through the Freedom of Information Act. "However, they did not do the well testing because they did not think they needed to." So, from late 1980 through the summer of 1982, the former employee told investigators, "this issue simply laid there. No attempts were made to identify ground contamination" at Hadnot Point or Tarawa Terrace, where most of the enlisted men and their families lived. It wasn't until a letter from Grainger in August 1982 reported TCE levels of 1,400 ppb that any kind of widespread testing began. Though the EPA did not yet enforce a limit for TCE at the time, the chemical had long been known to cause serious health problems. "That is when the light bulb went off," Sharpe told federal investigators in a 2004 interview, obtained by the AP. "That is when we connected the tests of the 1980, 1981, and 1982 time period where traces of solvents were detected to this finding." Still, it was not until the final weeks of 1984 that the first wells were closed down. Between the receipt of that 1982 letter and the well closures, the employee told the fact-finding group, "they simply dropped the ball." Each year of delay meant an additional 10,000 people may have been exposed, according to Marine estimates. Municipal utilities around the country were using far more sophisticated tests to detect much lower contaminate levels, said Kaltofen, while the people at Camp Lejeune were doing "the bare minimum. And it wasn't enough." Last year, President Obama signed the Camp Lejeune Veterans and Family Act to provide medical care and screening for Marines and their families, but not civilians, exposed between 1957 and 1987 -- although preliminary results from water modeling suggest that date be pushed back at least another four years. The law covers 15 diseases or conditions, including female infertility, miscarriage, leukemia, multiple myeloma, as well as bladder, breast, esophageal, kidney and lung cancer. Jerry Ensminger, a former drill sergeant, blames the water for the leukemia that killed his 9-year-old daughter, Janey, in 1985. He and Michael Partain -- a Marine's son who is one of at least seven dozen men with Lejeune ties diagnosed with a rare form of breast cancer -- have scoured the records, and he thinks the Corps has yet to accept responsibility for its role in this tragedy. "If I hadn't dug in my heels," Ensminger said, "this damned issue would have been dead and buried along with my child and everybody else's."source : http://www.foxnews.com/health/2013/05/18/victims-claim-marines-failed-to-safeguard-water-supply/

Open Friday: Forgotten Authors
So, for today's Open Friday question, I offer the following: what one writer do you believe deserves greater recognition as a source inspiration for fantasy, horror, or science fiction RPGs? Merritt is my answer to this question. Who is yours?
63 comments:
Edgar Rice BurroughsReplyDelete
But, Greyhawk Knight I do love me some Roy Thomas comics.
Eric Rücker Eddison for The Worm Ouroboros. That particular work has been read and appriciated by many more successful fantasy authors whose works have influenced many baseline assumptions in RPG's, I can't help to wonder what effect would have been if let's say instead of Tolkiens influence it would have been that of Eddison.ReplyDeleteReplies
- AnonymousJanuary 20, 2012 at 3:00 PM
Every female character would have been really the same female character because all females are part of the goddess hivemind, every game session would start over at the beginning of the campaign, and we'd all have to read a lot more James Branch Cabell and Elizabethan/Jacobean poetry and songs.Delete
But I do love Eddison, when he's not messing with me, and he is a good gaming source. I did a public domain audiobook of Ouroboros, even, and enjoyed it even more.
The Worm Ouroboros was a good one, though for the life of me, I've not read it in many long years!Delete
Otherwise, I don't rightly think any one author that interests me is obscure enough or stands out enough as such.
Alan Garner. The Weirdstone of Brisangamen is a classic children's fantasy.ReplyDelete
I'd vote for William Hope Hodgson. I've got the complete hardcover series Nightshade did of his fiction. It is awesome!ReplyDelete
As a second place I'd have to go with David Lindsey whose Voyage to Arcturus remains criminally obscure.
Snorri Sturluson, the famous medieval Icelandic author. He compiled the Prose Edda, the Heimskringla, the Saga of Olaf Tryggvason and Harald Hadrada, and possibly Egil's Saga.ReplyDelete
IIRC, one of his more obscure works, the Skaldskaparmal is the source of the name "Gandalf", as an example.
Zelazny! I just re-read the Amber series. Brilliant. Anytime my characters open a door and find, say, an astral sea or a strange vista of another plane, the influence of Zelazny is upon us.ReplyDelete
Philip Jose Farmer.ReplyDeleteReplies
- AnonymousJanuary 20, 2012 at 11:57 AM
Pardon my ignorance -- Riverworld is one of those ideas that always excited me, but I've never read any PJF -- do the stories live up to the grandness of Riverworld's fantastic one-line elevator pitch? Where would I start reading him?Delete
I think Riverworld is a good series, but I like the World of Tiers better. Farmer has numerous one-off novellas, novels, and numerous collections of short stories as well, and many of them pushed the boundaries of SF in terms of how it dealt with politics, sex, religion, etc.Delete
Alfred Bester and Manly Wade WellmanReplyDeleteReplies
I'm reading The Stars My Destination and I see the influence on e.g. cyberpunk, no question -- but where is Wellman's influence to be seen?Delete
I have the Paizo Silver John Wellman comp but haven't had a chance to read it. But Gygax listed Wellman in Appendix N of the DMG. Perhaps for the bard?Delete
If I recall correctly, The Silver John stories served as the basis for a proto-horror RPG by Sandy Petersen and indirectly helped form Call of Cthulhu when he was given the task of designing that game.Delete
H. Rider Haggard is my first choice. I feel a great swell of pity for those who haven't read his novel, She.ReplyDelete
My second choice is David Lindsay for his mind-blowing A Voyage to Arcturus.Replies
Adam Roberts recently blogged about this, er, absolutely terrible-sounding novel (She) a few weeks ago. It's the 8th bestselling novel of all time. Jesus.Delete
There's a dissertation to be written about the 'no no the pleasure of these stories has nothing at all to do with their misogyny and racism' line, which gets pulled out by fans any time authors like Haggard and (!!!!) Lovecraft are criticized.
That's because it's incredibly easy to take out the misogyny and racism, and simply go with the pure "Immortal Mary Sue with amazing magical powers and disquieting relationship issues, in a reverse-Gothic romance with a nobleminded, strong, passive Larry Stu, told by a character who's the Biggest Fan Ever of both of them. But with sf and history decorations." But mostly it's Immortal Mary Sue, which is why she got tons of prequels and the male characters didn't.Delete
The moral of the story is that guys like Gothics also, but their controlling Gothic hero is the Mysterious Femme Fatale who usually dies or goes to prison instead of marrying him.
Honestly, any of them. I get the impression that most gamers know about Gary Gygax and Tolkien and that's about it.ReplyDeleteReplies
This. Until just a few years ago I fell into the 'Tolkien is the wellspring of all modern fantasy' trap. This blog is in no small part responsible for my re-education on that score, for which I am grateful! Learning about new rubbish is often preferable to rereading the old rubbish. ;v)Delete
A lot of gamers never actually read Tolkien, either.Delete
Props to Zelazny too. But I think a lot of mt choices would be too personal to me and what i grew up reading in terms of their personal impact (but probably not so broad an impact beyond me!)ReplyDelete
Matthew Phipps ShielReplyDelete
Karl Edward Wagner — his Kane series inspired the campaigns of many of my friends.ReplyDelete
[Only one! Well this was the first that sprung to mind ahead of the rest. <sigh>]Replies
Seconded. I reffed a Dragonquest adventure ripped off from "Reflections for the Winter of My Soul". Scared the heck out of the players.Delete
Yup, got to cast my vote for Karl Edward Wagner too. I've yet to run an adventure based on any of his works, but I'd love to unleash the Scylredi on my players' characters one of these days. And serve calamari on the same day.Delete
Haggard is seconded. Or Robert E. Howard, who most gamers pretend to know but have never actually read.ReplyDelete
I use a lot of Robert Chambers (both the King in Yellow mythos and his weird natural history bits) in my games, but I'm a Chambers fanboy.
The question: what one writer do you believe deserves greater recognition as a source inspiration for fantasy, horror, or science fiction RPGs?ReplyDelete
Some of the fine authors mentioned have already received their props, haven't they?
My one answer: Seabury Quinn, Seabury Quinn, Seabury Quinn, the name so nice I say it thrice. You like modern horror; Seabury Quinn. You like CoC-ish horror: Seabury Quinn. You lke pulp, weirdo fiction: Seabury Quinn.
Firstly every SF&F gamer should readReplyDelete
Edgar Rice Burroughs' Princess of Mars. Few know his inspiration Edwin Lester Arnold's Gullivar of Mars
I also heartily recommend a trio of extraordinary women.
Andre Norton
C.L. Moore
Leigh Brackett
A lot of the tropes we explore today in our SF&F gaming appeared in their fiction 40 or 50 years ago!
Mikhail Bulgakov.ReplyDelete
For post-D&D, non-Tolkien fantasy, the late Robert Holdstock, particularly Mythago Wood (1984). It's a gem.ReplyDelete
I would push both William Morris and James Branch Cabell. I'd love to run a campaign as good as the lands described in The well At The World's End and The Sundering Flood.ReplyDelete
The Right Honourable Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett, 18th Baron of DunsanyReplyDelete
I just watched Burn Witch Burn and it seems to be a straight ahead adaptation of Leiber's Conjure Wife.ReplyDelete
Tanith Lee (various) and Andre Norton (at least the first few of her Witch World novels.)ReplyDelete
Fritz Leiber, his Fafhrd and Greymouser stories are far closer to how I play RPGs than Tolkien. Andre Norton's Quag Keep is a given of course though more a reflection of RPGs than an influence. Haggard is brilliant though in my mind, generally more pulp than fantasy. John Norman's Gor books while they are - disturbing - have had an undeniable influence on figure makers. Jack Vance's Cugel's Saga books are also entertaining.ReplyDelete
I think very little credit is given to fantasy novels most of us read as children - Oz, Narnia, Zilpha Keatley Snyder ... all of those were early formative influences. Comics, too (c.f. Greyhawk Knight's comment - though personally I'd call for Jack Kirby and Stan Lee. Oh and Steve Ditko, too).ReplyDelete
To clarify: the film based on Merritt's Burn Witch Burn! is called The Devil-Doll. The 1962 film called Burn Witch Burn! is, as people as noted, based on Leiber.ReplyDelete
Weird but true.Replies
I just remembered that J. Eric Holmes reviewed Burn Witch Burn/Creep Shadow Creep on Amazon in 2002. It's his only fantasy review there, and just about the last thing I've found that he wrote in public. He gets the movie right as Barrymore is in The Devil-Doll (1936).Delete
Holmes' review of BWB/CSC on Amazon
"Merrit wrote spooky fantasy for Argosy Magazine in the 1920-1930s. Fans argue endlessly about which is his best. These stories are pretty good. (Shadow is a sort of sequel to Burn Witch Burn.) The evil old witch makes lifelike dolls that come to life and kill people. She is brought down by a rational doctor and a superstitious Mafia boss. Made into a movie with Lionel Barrymore as the witch (really!). Strong stuff for the time it was written."
Seconding James Branch Cabell -- for D&D purposes, especially Jurgen, Figures of Earth and The High Place.ReplyDelete
The Beowulf poet.ReplyDelete
aycorn makes great points. Jack Kirby and Lloyd Alexander were two of my top choices here...ReplyDelete
William Hope Hodgson: his works are the a primary influence in modern horror, weird fantasy and science fiction. Heck, two words: Night Land.ReplyDelete
A big ditto for Zelazny and I'll throw in a Fletcher Pratt for good measure!ReplyDelete
I'll stick with Robert E. Howard. The movies have almost nothing to do with his stories and L. Sprague deCamp -- and others -- were somewhat "lacking" in their attempts to continue Howard's Conan stories.ReplyDelete
In addition to Conan, he wrote Kull and Bran Mac Morn, two other Sword and Sorcery "heroes."
Howard wrote other stories as well, but we're talking "fantasy" here.
And Allan, Farmer and his World of Tiers is a good one for me too. ;)
Edward Bulwer-Lytton. He may be older, and a less direct influence, but The Coming Race was basically about a race of subterranean psionics-users. How much more D&D can you get?ReplyDelete
I often have the impression that, in the french gaming community, Poul Anderson doesn't get the credit he deserves.ReplyDelete
Sometimes, I feel like having a "you're not allowed to debate over alignment and paladins if you haven't read Anderson" policy...
Hmmm...out of those not listed?ReplyDelete
L. Frank Baum. He invented a persistent universe which lacked the "tied up" feel at the end of a major adventure, and filled his narratives with small jaunts that were almost unrelated to the main story.
In a word, the man was king of the Side-quest.
Jules Verne, Journey to the Center of the EarthReplyDelete
How about John Bellairs? The Face in the Frost is listed in Appendix N and is an excellent novel - a truly strange mix of humour and horror. It lulls you into a false sense of security with the gentle humour and then hits you with some of the most effective horror sequences in modern fantasy. Plus, the way that Prospero studys his book of spells the night before he intends to cast them may have influenced the way that magic-users prepare spells in D&D (It's likely that Gygax combined this idea with the Vancian notion that spells are forgotten when you cast them). Plus some of his young adult fiction can be raided for ideas - I recommend The House with a Clock in Its Walls and The Lamp from the Warlock's Tomb in particular.ReplyDelete
While we're on the subject of Abraham Merrit, it should be pointed out that LibriVox has released free audio adaptations of some of his works that have fallen into the public domain. For example:
They also have a very nice audio adaptation of the short story "The People of the Pit" here:
Poul Anderson - you're right porphyre77! Not only paladins in 3 Hearts & 3 Lions, but cosmic Law vs Chaos conflict a decade before Moorcock.
Fritz Leiber - ok, I guess his name isn't an unfamiliar one to most readers of this blog, but until one has actually read his Fafrhd & the Mouser yarns, one can hardly imagine how much D&D-type fantasy is going on there.
C.S. Smith - for his Zothique cycle, especially
Science Fiction:
Poul Anderson (again!) - Traveller, anybody?
Jack Vance - here again, his influence on fanatasy RPGs is unquestioned, but a much larger portion of the Vance corpus is made up of his "Gaean Reach" sci-fi. The Reach is setting which carries over into many, unrelated books, like a campaign setting, of sorts.
Storm Constantine: I've seen it asserted that hers was an influence on Vampire: the Masquerade - maybe not as great as Anne Rice's - but I cannot confirm it. Since my knowledge of Ms Constantine's work and V:tM is limited and superficial (at best), can anyone else confirm or deny?
Teofilo Folengo, originator(?) of the multiracial adventuring party; http://www.dragonsfoot.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=43135&p=916190#p916190 :) (site with the pics gone, sorry)ReplyDelete
Philip Jose Farmer for his Opar stories. Wonderful and evocative picture of antediluvian Africa.ReplyDelete
Some excellent suggestions here. My vote would have to go to Hope Mirlees for her solitary volume Lud in the Mist, which is one of the finest examples of obscure yet influential high fantasy. Reprint has a foreword by Neil Gaiman who states 'Hope Mirrlees only wrote one fantasy novel, but it is one of the finest in the English language'. I'd agree.ReplyDelete

I see no one mentioned Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett (a.k.a. Lord Dunsany.) His "The King of Elfland's Daughter" must be one of the best tales I ever read.ReplyDelete
