I have an upper and lower dental partial that have metal clamps which connect to my teeth. Is it possible to have the metal pieces colored pink to match my gums? I am very self-conscious when I smile and the metal is showing "gleaming." Is this procedure possible and what will my price be? Thanking you in advance for your assistance with my current situation.
Unfortunately, I don't believe there is any way to make the metal clasps on your removable partial pink. These metal clasps need to be flexible, and anything your dentist would bond to it would break off under the bending stress.
However, the gleaming that you get from light reflecting from the clasps can be toned down dramatically with a little sand blasting—something very simple to do. If your dentist doesn't have a little "micro-etcher" device to do this job, his dental laboratory certainly would, and this is such a simple procedure that, if they didn't offer to do it for free, the charge should be minimal. You could maybe even stop off at the dental lab yourself and have them do this. It will change the metal from being shiny and gleaming to a matte finish that doesn't reflect much light.
For others who are in the market for new removable partial dentures, the new plastic clasps that can be either pink or transparent are much less obvious to people, and while these partials may not be as sturdy, I believe they are sturdy enough and are way more aesthetic. There are various brands of these. The photograph here is of a Valplast partial. DuraFlex is another brand.
Are Nesbit partials illegal in Pennsylvania?
I had a partial Nesbit on my #2 upper molar (upper right) & threw it out in error at a restaurant.
I live in Pittsburgh, PA, & my dentist & the Pitt dental school tell me Nesbit partials are now illegal in PA.
Could you please tell me what states that are close to me permit Nesbit partials?
I am not aware of any dental procedure or dental prosthesis being outlawed in any state. Hearing you tell me what your dentist and the dental school said about the Nesbit partial, I thought I would check the most recent version of Pennsylvania's dental practice act. Not only did I see no mention of Nesbit partials, but I saw no section of the law where any particular dental procedure or device was outlawed. Several years ago I received a report from a patient in Oregon who said her dentist told her that Nesbits were illegal in Oregon, and I remain skeptical about that also.
Now maybe the Pennsylvania Dental Board has passed some rule on this, but I am highly skeptical. What could be the case, giving your dentist and the dental school the benefit of the doubt, is that there was some lawsuit in Pennsylvania where the dentist gave a patient a Nesbit partial and was successfully sued, but I think there would have to be some negligence on the part of the dentist for that suit to be successful—a failure to warn the patient of the risks of such a partial. Or maybe what is going on is that the dental school and your dentist are so adamant about the risks of this small partial that they are exaggerating the situation.
So if you're really determined to get another Nesbit partial, I would start by asking around to other dentists in Pittsburgh. If other dentists confirm that it is illegal, then I'm pretty confident that you could go across the border into Ohio or West Virginia with no problem and find a dentist to do this.
Having said that, I think you would be better off listening to their strong discouragement on this and getting some other type of tooth replacement—a flipper partial for example. A Nesbit partial is extremely easy to swallow if it comes loose and could easily puncture your esophagus or intestine causing serious medical issues. I had an experience in my practice when I was just out of dental school where I made one of these partials for a patient. He came in later saying that he had lost it. On quizzing I learned that it disappeared overnight, and I warned him that he could have swallowed it in his sleep and urged him to get x-rayed. He wasn't interested in doing that. And then, when it was time for his next 6-month checkup, I learned that he had died. That story from then afterward spooked me about these Nesbit partials and I didn't do any more of them. Instead, I would make larger flipper partials that were just as inexpensive.
I'm 35 years old, and my tooth number 7 (right lateral incisor) is turning dark and has been for at least 5 years. My endodontist said the tooth is still viable (I was able to feel ice and an electric current, although my response was delayed). There was a possible, very faint horizontal fracture observed on the x-ray, and a root canal was deemed optional at this time.
I'm debating between getting the root canal done or pursuing a cosmetic procedure.
I'm under the impression that a root canal can weaken the tooth, but I was also advised by the endo that bonding would have to be applied to several teeth in order to achieve a cohesive look.
What are the cosmetic options for this kind of issue? Should I go ahead and get the root canal done now since I'll likely need it in the future, or is it better to hold off and keep the tooth strong for as long as possible.
Which option is the least invasive and best for my oral health?
To me, "optional root canal" is the same as saying "not necessary to do a root canal." So why would you want to do a root canal if it isn't necessary? Either your tooth is infected or it isn't. If it is infected, a root canal treatment is necessary. Since it's not, I would leave it alone.
And I am skeptical that you have an actual horizontal fracture in the root of the tooth. A crack would be possible. A fracture seems highly unlikely. If you had a fracture, the tooth would be dead. Furthermore, if there were really a fracture, a root canal treatment would be problematic because it would traverse the fracture and thus be susceptible to leaking and failure.
Your tooth gradually turning dark could be because of some trauma you had some time ago, at least the five years during which it has been turning dark. Trauma can cause a tooth to build up defenses in the form of what is called secondary dentin. This will cause the tooth to darken somewhat and will also cause the living pulp tissue to shrink which would make your tooth less sensitive to cold or other stimuli.
The bottom line is that, from what you're telling me, the only problem that has been diagnosed for your tooth is that it is turning dark. The solution to that would be a porcelain veneer or direct composite bonding, either one at the hands of a true dental artist. In the unlikely event that you later need a root canal treatment on this tooth, it would be a simple matter to do that after the veneer or bonding, since root canal access is gained from the back of a front tooth. You need to be very careful who you ask to do this cosmetic work because the color manipulation would be quite tricky and you do need to have this tooth match the surrounding teeth. I believe that only 1-2% of dentists have the passion for appearance-related dentistry plus the training to make this tooth look perfectly natural. I would not bond several teeth because it isn't necessary, provided you have a properly skilled cosmetic dentist. The reason your endodontist is suggesting bonding several teeth is because your basic family dentist would not be able to get this tooth to match any other way. Furthermore, the problem with getting a dentist to bond several teeth is that if he or she doesn't know how to color match teeth in this situation, they probably aren't very good at bonding either and would want to crown several front teeth instead. But if you gave me your city, I could find you a dentist who could get the tooth to match – perfectly – with a very conservative restoration.
Good luck with moving forward.
In my practice, I very much enjoyed seeing children—even children who were difficult to treat. Part of the reason for that was that the pediatric dentist on my side of town was someone I felt was mean and who would put ugly stainless steel crowns on front teeth, so I didn't want to refer to him. But a big part of it was because I enjoyed the challenge of trying to understand each child and how to get them through the care that they needed.
One issue in providing dental treatment to children is the use of physical restraints. Sometimes it is needed, and I want to address two aspects of that restraint.
The first aspect is the use of a mouth prop to keep their mouth open anytime I was drilling on their teeth. When I was in dental school doing my rotation in the pediatric dentistry clinic, before I took my turn as the operator I did a turn as an assistant. My fellow dental student was doing a small, routine filling on a baby tooth when our patient bit down unexpectedly, poking the drill through to the pulp of his tooth. We had to call the instructor over and upgrade the treatment to a pulpotomy (the baby-tooth equivalent of a root canal treatment) and stainless steel crown. My partner got a lecture about using a mouth prop and I vowed in that moment that this would never happen to one of my patients—I would always use some type of mouth restraint.
I ended up routinely using a Molt mouth gag on all my child patients when I was using a drill on a back tooth. I never, during dental school or my 20+ years of private practice, had an accident like my dental school partner.
But there was a very small minority of child patients that we would run into maybe once every couple of years that would need even more restraint to treat them safely. In spite of all the psychology we could use on them, they would thrash around with their arms and legs, making safe treatment impossible. When this would occur, I would excuse myself to the reception room and ask the parent for permission to physically restrain their child. They always gave permission, and we would proceed to wrap them in a papoose and complete the treatment.
This technique has been criticized by some as being mean and traumatic to the child. That isn't my experience at all. These were strong-willed children who refused to cooperate and were determined to make it impossible to fix their teeth; and without general anesthesia it would have been completely impossible to treat them. Once they fully realized that the treatment was going to go forward whether or not they chose to cooperate, they would completely calm down. I cannot remember an instance when that didn't happen. Sometimes, having become physically worn out from their earlier resistance, they would actually fall asleep as the treatment proceeded.
Once treatment was done, we would unwrap them, congratulate them on finally settling down, give them their choice of toys from the prize box, and part friends.
I had a root canal and crown done in March 2018, weeks after the procedure I started to have pain. I went back to my dentist who x-rayed the tooth and found no cracks, etc. They referred me to an endodontist in June 2018 and she put me on a course of antibiotics. Two weeks later I saw her again. The pain had for the most part disappeared and she said it would continue to feel better over time. We left for vacation in July and all was well. Then a couple of days ago I woke up with severe toothache. I saw my endodontist the next day she put me on a course of steroids. I'm still in excruciating pain. Throbbing, pulsing pain.
Steroids are becoming popular as a treatment for root canal pain. While they're effective in some situations, there seems to be a certain amount of misuse because of a lack of understanding of the pharmacology combined with a deficiency in diagnostic skills. In your case, steroids are clearly the wrong treatment.
Plus there are a couple of other things I disagree with about your treatment. But let's start with the steroids.
A steroid is an anti-inflammatory drug, and a very effective anti-inflammatory. It calms down the body's response to inflammation. But one thing to understand about the body's response to inflammation is that there is purpose to it. Part of that response is bringing white blood cells to the area to fight infection. In other words, steroids also act to block the body's response to infection. This makes it really important for the dentist to know what is going on before prescribing. Is there infection, or just simply irritation?
Immediately after a root canal treatment there is ordinarily some irritation of the tissue around the end of the root caused by pushing some of the infected material inside the tooth through the end of the tooth, maybe pushing some of the disinfecting solution and filling materials through the end of the tooth, and possibly from the root canal files actually poking through the end of the tooth during the instrumentation of the tooth. This irritation can cause a vicious cycle of post-operative pain because the inflammation causes swelling of the tissues around the end of the tooth, pushing the tooth up, causing traumatic occlusion, which exacerbates the inflammation, pushing the tooth further up and increasing the pain. Steroids can be an excellent therapy for this situation, though there is some risk because some of the problem is the infected material pushed out of the end of the tooth. For this reason, steroids given to patients post-operatively are often combined with a short course of antibiotics.
But when a tooth flares up weeks after, as happened in your case, that is probably going to be solely because of infection. It is much too delayed to be connected in any way to irritation from the actual treatment. That's why the endodontist prescribed antibiotics in June, which worked. The success of the antibiotic therapy confirms that the problem was infection.
But it's at this point where I begin to disagree with your endodontist. The fact that you had an infection flaring up in the tooth weeks after the completion of the root canal treatment indicates that there was some problem with the root canal treatment. The root canal systems inside some teeth can be complex and it can be easy to miss parts of the system that don't get fully cleaned out and sealed. So I have a hard time figuring out why your endodontist, who has to know this, would tell you after a delayed post-operative infection in a root canal tooth, that everything is going to be fine now. In most cases, that tooth is going to flare up again with another infection—it's just a matter of time.
And sure enough, several weeks after that, your tooth did flare up. And here is another part of what she did that is puzzling to me. How can it be not clear that this is an infection and not simple inflammation? In my opinion, steroids are absolutely the wrong treatment here. You need another course of antibiotics and, at a minimum, the root canal treatment needs to be re-done because it has clearly failed.
This brings me to another part of your treatment that I disagree with, and that is placing a crown on this tooth before being sure that the root canal treatment was successful. The crown makes re-treatment more difficult, since now a hole needs to be drilled in the crown to get access to the roots and visibility is impaired.
3. Extraction of the tooth.
Sinus perforation from a dental implant – did the surgeon do it right?
My question is about the impact of a sinus perforation, removal of an implant, and antibiotics. I just had a dental implant (tooth #2) removed last Wednesday, six months after it was placed, he suspected bone loss and the gum was not filling in correctly. Also, when he placed the implant it punctured the sinus by a few mm.
After the removal, the OS said there was no infection and it was very easy to remove because it did not integrate at all, and there was no need to give me intravenous antibiotics during the process (I was sedated). He put me on sinus precaution of Flonase, no blowing nose, and no sneezing with mouth closed. He said he did not repair the perforation in my sinus, he just cleaned the area and stitched the gums. He said it would heal on its own and we should wait a year to see if the hole fills up with sinus tissue or bone and start again from there.
The following week I had continual congestion, especially at night, even though I was using the Flonase. I also had odd crackling in my ear when I moved my jaw (not jaw popping and no pain- just crackling like a blown speaker) I went back to him five days later and he said everything looked great. I did not agree and I requested antibiotics because I felt like it was getting infected. He reluctantly complied and since then my congestion has cleared significantly and air no longer escapes through the site. My question is, was it detrimental to not have been given antibiotics from the beginning and how do you know the sinus has healed correctly and the bone is not compromised with a lingering infection and congestion in the first week?
First, answering your question directly, there is no harm in not starting the antibiotics right away. The indiscriminate prescribing of antibiotics, "just in case you have an infection," is leading to a serious public health problem by helping cultivate antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Then, when you really need the antibiotic, it doesn't work. So I like the idea that your surgeon waited to see signs of infection before prescribing the antibiotic. And Flonase seems a good choice also.
But there is another, more significant issue that you bring up that I want to address, and that is the failure of this dental implant. The implant perforated the sinus by a few millimeters??? That's kind of a biggie. A few millimeters in dentistry is a lot. And the implant didn't integrate with the bone at all. That's another biggie. I hope your dentist has a good explanation for these two kind of serious errors.
To be clear here, the idea of the implant perforating the sinus is an issue with oral surgeons, with many maintaining that it isn't a big deal. Others say that it is an indication of sloppy surgery that just increases the risk of implant failure. Many surgeons will say that they have perforated the sinus many times with implant placement and the site heals and everything is fine. But others will point to cases where this has allowed infection to get in around the implant from the sinus cavity. And then they also point to the issue of how much bone support the implant has. For however much the implant pokes into the sinus, that is that much less bone that is supporting the implant. I believe almost all surgeons will agree that while they may be able to get away with an implant sticking into the sinus one or two millimeters, "a few millimeters" is too far.
The standard of care for implant surgery requires the dentist to take whatever x-rays are necessary—preferably three-dimensional ones—to insure that there is enough bone present to stabilize the implant. So my question is, what is your surgeon going to do to insure that this doesn't happen again? In other words, if your implant ended up so far into your sinus, there's not enough bone there to support the implant. That would call for some bone grafting. In the area of the sinus, this is usually done in what is called a sinus lift procedure. Has your dentist suggested that?
I want to be careful here, because I have an incomplete picture of what is going on with you. But just from what you have told me, if I were getting an implant and my surgeon, in placing the implant, punctured my sinus and there was no osseointegration of the implant with the bone, I wouldn't want this surgeon doing any more work on me. For you, as a minimum, I would get some answers about this, and maybe a second opinion.
I had an upper partial made by a dental lab. I did not go through a dentist.
The last partial I got, nine years ago, my dentist used this lab. They did such a good job that I decided to go directly to them this time. But this time it's not working out so well. I have a front tooth missing that was supposed to be replaced using this partial, however, the tooth won't stay fastened to the metal. There was so much plastic backing that all the pressure was on my one bottom front tooth. He ground down a lot to make my bite touch but now there is not way of holding this tooth in place. Also the plate is too short and is sitting in the cavity where my old tooth was and it creates a rocking motion when I chew.
I have been back at least nine times and the last time he told me to go away and stop bothering him. I asked for my money back but he refused. What can I do to get my money back?
A very interesting question, and there are some interesting points to make in answering you.
I must say that I'm not following you as far as understanding the problems you are having with the bite and the one tooth in this removable partial denture. The rocking I understand, and that is a fundamental problem that in most cases is due to a distorted framework—a problem that could have originated with a distorted impression. Fixing this would require starting over again. The impression is supposed to be taken by the dentist, who is trained and experienced in creating an accurate model of your teeth that will enable the technician to fabricate an accurate metal framework. Technicians aren't trained to do this step, which is one of the reasons it is illegal for them to do that.
So the answer to how to get your money back is fairly simple—just threaten to report the technician to the authorities. This seems mean because, while it was illegal for him to make this removable partial without involving a dentist, you were the one who asked him to do it, so you should share in that responsibility. But he is the one who knows the law better and so bears the bulk of the responsibility. So just go to him and tell him that if he doesn't refund your money you'll tattle to the state dental board and agree to be a witness in his prosecution. My guess is that this will work magic. And hopefully that may save some other patient from making the same mistake you did.
Whose fault is it that this tooth broke off?
I had a crown put on tooth #7 (right lateral incisor) about 40 years ago but no root canal. My dentist said I now need a root canal on that tooth due to decay under the crown. I've had no pain, abscess or any indication of infection. The dentist attempted a root canal through the back of the crown and after 2 hours he gave up and said the canal is calcified and he is unable to locate it. He put a temporary filling in the crown and said I will need an endodontic specialist to perform the root canal. Because I am not in pain, the endodontist booked me an appointment 4 weeks out. Well it's been 2 weeks and now my crown (with some tooth inside) has broken off and I don't know what to do. I'm elderly and can't spend a fortune on this tooth issue when it probably should have been left alone in the first place. Should I just get an implant? Attempt a root canal? I doubt there is enough tooth left to put a new crown on even if the root canal is successful. I bought some DenTek at the drug store today and can reattach the crown myself. I would greatly appreciate your perspective on this.
I'm going to start by trying to answer a question that you were too polite to ask: Whose fault is it that this tooth broke off?
Your dentist was drilling inside this tooth for two hours looking for the root canal and not finding it. It's hard not to believe that doing so seriously weakened the tooth and is the reason it broke off. And having done that, he didn't pass that information on to the endodontist or do anything in the meantime to strengthen the tooth. Hopefully he has learned a lesson from this, but meanwhile you are victimized here. It seems reasonable to me that he should accept some of the responsibility for the fix you are in.
With there being decay under the crown, the logical way to proceed here would seem to me to be to take the old crown off (it will have to be replaced anyway), get rid of the decay, and then finding the canal would be much easier. If the tooth really got infected, then the decay penetrated into the canal. But even if it didn't, having the crown off greatly increases visibility and access.
Meanwhile, to answer the question you actually asked, if the tooth is down to a stump then yes, it may be difficult to put a crown on it and you could lose the tooth and need an implant. However, if your bite isn't particularly stressful, the right kind of dental post in the tooth could enable it to hold a crown, even if there isn't much of the tooth left. But after the fiasco you've been through, I'm doubtful that your current family dentist has enough expertise to pull that off. The placement of the post or posts would need to be done in such a way as to brace the restoration against rotational forces, and that can be tricky. Posts are round and lateral incisors are kind of round in cross section, and it doesn't take much twisting force to loosen a crown and post in this situation.
It's been ten years since I got my two fillings. One fell out but doesn't hurt. The other one is still in but is causing severe pain. It doesn't bother any to bite on it, but it hurts most of the time. The only thing that relieves the pain is water and only for a few seconds. Any advice?
I wish I had better news for you, Brandon, but your tooth, the one with the filling, is showing classic signs of a dying pulp and you're going to need a root canal treatment on it. I'd get the other filling replaced before it's too late.
Here's what's going on. There has been some decay get into the tooth, probably getting under the filling. That decay has grown until it has infected the pulp. As the infected pulp tissue dies, it can go into a state where it is called a gangrenous pulp. In that state, it gives off gasses that increase the pressure inside the tooth and cause a toothache. When you cool the tooth with water, it causes the gas to shrink somewhat and eases the pain.
This is a classic situation. When a patient reports that cold water or ice water is the only thing that relieves their toothache, you can be 100% guaranteed that they're suffering from a gangrenous pulp in a tooth that has almost died. Relief can be obtained by simply creating an opening into the tooth to relieve the pressure, but then it needs to be followed up with a root canal treatment to fully remove all of the infected tissue inside the tooth and seal it against further problems.
It's a similar situation when a tooth is sensitive to heat—it's a nearly dead tooth.

Kenneth Walters  (1934 – 28 March 2022) was a British mathematician and rheologist. He was a Distinguished Research Professor at the Institute Of Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science of the Aberystwyth University.

Education
Walters earned his PhD from the University of Swansea in 1959 under the supervision of James G. Oldroyd. His thesis was entitled Some Elastico-Viscous Liquids with Continuous and Discrete Relaxation Spectra.

Work
Walters made contributions to rheology and the development of rheological science in the United Kingdom, and has conducted extensive studies of the behaviour of non-Newtonian fluids, particularly elastic liquids. He made advances in two major areas: the measurement of rheological properties, and the numerical solution of complex flows. In the first area, he extended the theory of viscometric flows, carried out a searching analysis of sources of error in the principal instruments in current use, and was involved in industrial applications arising in the manufacture of lubricants, detergents and paints. His book, Rheometry, is a standard work of reference and the book Numerical Simulation of Non-Newtonian Flow, of which he is joint author, is an influential text in this field of research.

Awards and honours
Prof. Walters has been recognized extensively for his contributions to the rheological community by being awarded the Gold Medal from the British Society of Rheology in 1984 and the Weissenberg Award from the European Society of Rheology in 2002. Walters was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 1991.  In 1995 he was made a Foreign Associate of the National Academy of Engineering. He has been an active member of the rheological community for many years. He served as President of the British Society of Rheology from 1974 to 1976, President of the European Society of Rheology from 1996 to 2000, and the Chairman of the International Committee on Rheology from 2000 to 2004.

Personal Life
In 1961, Kenneth began dating Mary Eccles, an Aberystwyth student who had been Student 'Rag Queen' before they met. They were both committed Christians and married in 1963. Their mutual faith led them into lay leadership at St Michael's Anglican church in Aberystwyth. They had three children and seven grandchildren.

Death

Walters' death was announced on 30 March 2022.

SXSW Film Preview: Buzzy Studio Fare and Austin Indie Favorites to Collide
9:29 AM PST 3/10/2016 by Rebecca Ford

Paul Reubens, Richard Linklater and Jeff Nichols
SXSW film head Janet Pierson talks to THR about fest highlights, ranging from Richard Linkater and Jeff Nichols' latest pics to 'Keanu.'
In the eight years since Janet Pierson was hired as the head of SXSW Film, the festival's movie programming has grown into a notable launching pad for big studio films and indies alike. Over the years, there have been splashy premieres for Spring Breakers, 21 Jump Street and, last year, Amy Schumer's Trainwreck and a surprise screening of Furious 7. Plus, the Austin, Texas, fest has also launched some of TV's biggest hits, including Girls and Mr. Robot.
The 2016 edition, launching Friday, will likely continue the trend, with hot studio projects including Richard Linklater's Everybody Wants Some and Jeff Nichols' sci-fi film Midnight Special. "I think there's a real display of wonderful Austin filmmaking talent this year," says Pierson of the two Austin-based filmmakers' work.
Plus, Netflix makes its first SXSW film debut with Pee-wee's Big Holiday, New Line will show a work-in-progress screening of cat comedy Keanu and AMC's new series Preacher, based on the comic book, will premiere.
Just before the fest kicked off, The Hollywood Reporter spoke to Pierson about this year's highlights, the Obamas' visit and what surprises she might still have up her sleeve.
Last year seemed like an especially big year for film, with Trainwreck, Spy and Furious 7 all screening.
It's interesting because it's my eighth year and I don't really feel that we're doing anything different. I feel like we've had a lot of exciting stuff every year since I've been doing it. But I know there was something really sensational about last year. Although, there was also the year we premiered the Girls series and 21 Jump Street and the year of Spring Breakers — there are all these different high points every year, but I know there was something particularly exciting about last year.
What do you expect as breakout moments this year?
I'm never quite sure. I wouldn't have been able to necessarily talk about it going into last year. This year there's so much we're excited about, but then it kind of takes on its own life once it connects with the audience. There's a lot of really wonderful work that's both working at the studio level and lots and lots of discovery. It's interesting on the studio front that you have filmmakers like Linklater and Jeff Nichols, who we've worked with before as independents who are here as studio filmmakers this year. Both are really wonderful films, but a lot of their films are wonderful.
On the TV side, Girls and Mr. Robot both premiered at SXSW and went on to big success. Are other new TV series clamoring to be a part of the festival?
Absolutely. I started the '09 festival when it was already post-Sopranos and The Wire and it was kind of what everyone I knew was watching. I remember thinking, 'How do we include this in this setting?' Then Girls really helped because Lena [Dunham] had already had two features here and she was able to work with us. Then the next year people started knocking on the door and we went with Bates Motel. So now this year a lot of people want to be a part of it. We're keeping it small, although we're flexible and open to changing things as we need to each year. We're looking for voices. It's the same way that we look at feature length-films and in the same way that the shorts are programmed. We're looking to be surprised, we're looking for originality, and we're looking for filmmaking with a point of view.
How did the President and the first lady joining the festival come about?
It's fantastic, but it was something that was orchestrated by Interactive. They get credit for that. It's something they've been interested in for a long time. What's interesting is that in general, SXSW has come to be synonymous with so much of how we live today. It's so much about entrepreneurialism and creativity, you know, it covers a huge footprint. So many things fit into it. It was beautiful how it's being discussed that Obama is appealing to the creative tech community to engage in ways to help all of us. I think that's awesome.
Last year, Furious 7 was a surprise screening. You've already announced work-in-progress screenings for Keanu and Sausage Party, but are there any surprise screenings still planned?
That was not premeditated last year. So if you were to ask me that question this time last year I would be like, "No!" It literally came up after the festival had started. One of the [Furious 7] producers, Neal Moritz, said onstage that he was reading about SXSW and wondered, "Why aren't we there?"
So you don't have any more surprises up your sleeve?
I do not. I really don't. But I said we didn't last year, either. Announcing Keanu was an exciting thing and Sausage Party. Those aren't dry yet. They were kind of rushing to see if they could make it or not. They're both very exciting. There might be more announcements during the week, but certainly everything should be out and clear when we start on Friday, as far as I know.
How do you hope to grow or change the festival in the future?
I'm not big on reinventing the wheel. I'm interested in quality. Every year we're trying to figure out how to make it easier for the user: how to navigate it better, how to keep the quality up, how to keep the discovery quality there. It's been a real privilege to be able to give so many filmmakers a chance or an opportunity. I still love doing that. The life of a filmmaker is quite hard. There's so much they have to do. Not only do they have to raise money to make it, but now they have to distribute it themselves and get it to audiences. It's a very crowded, noisy world. It's wonderful to be able to say to someone, 'I believe in you, I think you're interesting, and here's an opportunity.'"
SXSW runs March 11-20 in Austin, Texas.

Do you Love me?
Mommy and Daddy say thier goodbyes, much needed goodbyes
He could no longer stand it and she wouldn't have it
With the paper work signed they return to old lives
But Mommy's work isn't done
"Do you still Love me?"
Mommy closes the door and then turns around, and he stands there
"You said you and Daddy once loved each other
But after all these years the love dissapeared
Is that how it works with me?"
The Mom and her son go into the next room, they sit on the couch
"Daddy and I aren't the same as We are
I love you my son and this love will go on
And you couldn't do anything to change that."

San Jose, CA, April 26, 2017 – The lighting controls industry is undergoing a huge transformation. With so much growth and opportunity, Legrand, North & Central America is stepping up its resources, presence, and leadership in the residential and commercial lighting and shading business. To handle current and future growth, Legrand has made several investments within its Building Control Systems (BCS) division, which comprise of brands and product lines Wattstopper, Vantage Controls, QMotion and Solarfective, including building out new facilities in San Jose and Carlsbad, California and Pleasant Grove and Orem, Utah.
It's all about innovation. The strategy for the new facilities was to further improve integration of company functions and accelerate product and service innovation – all to better serve a growing customer base and help them make projects successful from start to finish within this new dynamic market. With lighting controls growing more complex with the advent of LEDs and wireless technologies, the human centric lighting trend and the movement towards net zero energy, high performance, and smart buildings and homes, the focus is on delivering solutions make that jobs easier, faster, and safer throughout the entire building design, installation and maintenance phases.
Total solutions approach – hardware, software, services, and bundled systems. The Pleasant Grove office serves as the center for software innovation for the BCS division – naturally as the greater Salt Lake City area is a hotbed for technology and has been attracting and developing highly skilled talent in the fields of software development and engineering. In addition, this facility houses residential sales, marketing, and service support – an area of expertise with Vantage Controls being founded in the area. Also, a new 17,500 square-foot manufacturing facility in Orem, Utah supports warehouse, manufacturing and inventory operations all under one roof.
The new facility in Carlsbad, California is the BCS product innovation center and focuses on engineering, product development and marketing with an emphasis on supporting commercial lighting controls solutions. The new Silicon Valley office based San Jose, California continues to be where strategic alliances and partnerships are managed to accelerate lighting innovation. This area is the birthplace of Wattstopper, a company founded in 1984 in Santa Clara, Calif. by brothers Jerry and Steve Mix, and acquired by Legrand in 1996. A trusted controls partner for more than 30 years, this Legrand brand has established a valued legacy of providing energy efficient, convenient, and accessible controls for the built environment.
Delivering on the promise of transforming the spaces where people live and work. The latest facilities feature modern open-office designs and are equipped with the latest Legrand solutions, including advanced lighting controls and integrated shading. Legrand is dedicated to transforming the use of energy in today's workspaces – increasing building energy efficiency, functionality and comfort – starting with its own facilities.
In fact, the Pleasant Grove facility exceeds national and state energy codes – Utah adopted the 2015 IECC energy code, among the most stringent in the country. The lighting power density in the facility is 30 percent below 2015 IECC requirements and the current Utah code requirements. This was achieved by installing a combination of Legrand dimming controls, light and occupancy sensors, plug load control, energy efficient LED lighting and fine tuning lighting levels for each specific zone, room and area of the building.
This investment program will continue in 2017 with the expansion of its Service and Operations Center in Plano, Texas. This new facility will incorporate many of the concepts and design ideas used in other Legrand facilities.

PURPOSE OF THE STUDENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (SAP)?
The SAP program has been designed to improve the quality of education in our school by providing assistance to the students troubled by physical or emotional health or drug & alcohol use problems.
Problems of this nature interfere with educational performance and social development of the student. When a student is troubled, so are teachers, counselors and other school staff. Help is needed for the student having difficulties and for staff members dealing with the student.
The SAP Team may refer the student and their parents to outside agencies to assist in meeting the needs of the student.
The SAP program is coordinated by a group of concerned staff members and liaisons from community agencies who are professionally trained in identification of high risk behaviors among adolescents.
The primary focus of the program is to assess the student whose behavior patterns raise concerns and develop a plan which addresses the specific needs of the student.
The SAP team first collects information from the staff regarding the student's observed behaviors and academic performance. Parents are then contacted to gain permission to work with the student to build his/her strengths while addressing behaviors, which interfere with learning. The SAP team continues to monitor the student and provide support where needed as long as the team feels it is necessary.
Please contact one of the counselors!

British Prime Minister Theresa May says Donald Trump's meeting with Vladimir Putin could help reduce the risk of confrontation between Russia and the West.
May told other NATO leaders at a dinner Wednesday night that the Skripal attack was an example of "a well-established pattern of Russian behavior to "undermine our democracies and damage our interests around the world."
But she said that "open channels of communication between the U.S. and Russia are key to managing the risks of confrontation."
NATO leaders have formally invited Macedonia to start membership talks with the alliance, while cautioning that it can't be completed until the name issue is resolved.
The invitation, formalized in a communique at the NATO summit, paves the way for the addition of the alliance's 30th member — and a plan that has run afoul of a wary Russia.
NATO said Wednesday that "solution of the name issue is a condition for a successful conclusion of the accession process."
There was no way the World Cup wasn't going to come up at the NATO summit —especially with French President Emmanuel Macron and Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel both there.
Many Belgians are convinced that the Red Devils should be playing in Sunday's final in Moscow, not Les Bleus, despite Belgium's 1-0 loss to France in their semifinal Tuesday night.
During Wednesday's opening statement at the NATO summit, Michel veered away from discussions on military spending and Russia.
He addressed Macron directly and said "frankly, Emmanuel, yesterday the French team was very lucky."
"Like in football, fair play and team spirit is what we need more than ever," Michel said in an apparent jab at President Donald Trump who keeps questioning why Washington must carry such a heavy financial burden in defense of the West.
Trump didn't immediately respond. After all, the U.S. team failed to make it to the World Cup finals.
The Turkish foreign minister has defended his country's purchase of a Russian-made air defense system, the first of its kind by a NATO member.
Mevlut Cavusoglu (May-VLOOT CHA-voosh-oh-loo) insists "Turkey is a sovereign country" and says its acquisition of the S400 anti-aircraft system came only because it needed such a system and ran out of other options, such as from the United States.
The S400s wouldn't be compatible with many other NATO systems that Turkey has and operates.
"It is my urgent need and I tried to buy from many other countries — including China, but I get the best deal from Russia, and I bought it," Cavusoglu said.
"I tried to buy from my allies."
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his country is offering to lead NATO's new military training mission in Iraq for the first year and stands ready to provide 250 troops plus helicopters for the effort.
Trudeau said Wednesday that it is important to help build the conflict-ravaged country's resilience against the Islamic State group.
Speaking at a German Marshall Fund event on the sidelines of a NATO summit in Brussels, Trudeau said that "we have to build that democracy and strengthen it," and doing so "is something that we believe in deeply."

3-point line distance from the basket 23.75 ft 22 ft in corner
Is the 3 point line the same distance all around?
At most levels of basketball, the three–point line is an arc, so three–point shots are the same distance no matter where you are on the court. The NBA three–point line, however, is basically a three-part structure with two straight lines and an arc in the middle.
Why are there two 3 point lines in college basketball?
Why it matters: According to the committee, moving the line back will open up the lane for drives/cuts to the basket and additional low-post play, while keeping the 3–point revolution in check by making threes more challenging. For reference, the NBA's 3–point line is 23 feet, 9 inches.

Official sized basketballs measure 29.5" in circumference and have a standard weight of 22 oz. Size 7 basketballs are the standard ball size for most men's professional basketball associations, as well as men's college and high school basketball leagues.
How high is a basketball rim?
Throughout gyms, parks, and driveways around the world, basketball hoops are almost always 10 feet (3 meters) off the ground. Some leagues for young children play on shorter hoops, but from junior high schools through the professional leagues, the game is played on hoops of the standard 10-foot height.
Who made the first 3 pointer in NBA history?
Chris Ford of the Boston Celtics is credited with making the first three-point shot in NBA history on October 12, 1979. The season opener at Boston Garden was more remarkable for the debut of Larry Bird (and two new head coaches).

Is NBA rim bigger than college?
For junior high, high school, NCAA, WNBA, NBA and FIBA, the rim is exactly 10 feet off the ground. Rims at every level of play are 18 inches in diameter. Backboards are also the same size at each of these levels. A regulation backboard measures 6 feet wide and 42 inches (3.5 feet) tall.
Is a corner 3 shorter?
Almost invariably these shots are described as the "shorter corner 3." And it's true, the line is 22 feet from the basket in the corner, while it extends to 23 feet, 9 inches around the rest of the arc. However, that extra distance is not the primary determining factor in the increased accuracy of the shot.
Would a dunk from the 3 point line?
In terms off dunking from the three point line. This is only counted as a three point shot if both of the players feet are behind the line before he takes off. If he is fouled in flight to the goal and finishes the dunk, he will be awarded a 4 point play opportunity becuase he was fouled on a 3 point attempt.
Why are there 2 different 3-point lines?
The reason they put that rule in is because they thought it would open up the game. Several players mentioned something those who voted in the rule might not have thought about — the fact that there will now be two three-point lines on the floor, one for the men and one for the women. The women's line remains at 19-9.
Is NBA and college 3-point line?
With teams heavily relying on 3–pointers more and percentages steadily rising, the NCAA moved the arc back nearly two feet to 22 feet, 1¾ inches this season. That matches the international distance, but short of the NBA arc at 23 feet, nine inches.

Agilan
"Alligator"
Weight Limit
Monarchy MMA
Former ONE Welterweight World Title challenger Agilan Thani is one of the most remarkable athletes Malaysia has ever produced. Ever since making his debut in the cage, the man they call "Alligator" has torn through the competition. Undefeated as an amateur, Thani captured a Malaysian national championship before turning professional, winning six bouts in a row on the global stage of ONE Championship to earn a shot at Ben Askren's coveted title.
However, the Malaysian hero's most significant achievements took place outside of the cage. As a child, Agilan Thani struggled with obesity, and weighed almost 140kg at one point. This led to him being mercilessly bullied, prompting him to seek martial arts training to lose weight and learn how to defend himself. This proved to be a life-changing decision, as he managed to lose an incredible 55kg in the space of a single year by training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and other disciplines, transforming himself from an overweight teenager to an elite athlete.
To this day, the top contender still trains daily at Monarchy MMA in Kuala Lumpur under well-respected Belgian BJJ coach Samir Mrabet, but also regularly travels to the United States to sharpen his skills at the world-famous Team Quest in hopes of capturing the ONE Welterweight World Championship.

U.S. Ties British Threats to al-Qaeda
By Jeralyn, Section War on Terror
Posted on Thu Aug 10, 2006 at 12:30:01 PM EST
Update: Crooks and Liars has the video of Bush speaking to the threat.
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff today tied the British aircraft terror threats to al-Qaeda.
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said the plot appeared to have been engineered by al-Qaida, the terrorist group that hijacked two planes from Boston on Sept. 11, 2001, and flew them into the World Trade Center towers in New York.
Things are not progressing smoothly at U.S. airports, so if you are traveling, be forewarned.
Growing lines of irritated travelers snaked through U.S. airport terminals Thursday as people waited hours to reach security checkpoints, where they were ordered to dump their water bottles, suntan lotion and even toothpaste following the discovery of a terror plot in Britain.
Guards armed with rifles stood at the security checkpoints in several airports. The governors of California and Massachusetts said they were sending the National Guard to bolster security at major airports, and New York's governor was considering doing the same.
The new ban on all liquids and gels from carry-on luggage left people with little choice but to throw away juice boxes, bags full of makeup, perfume and bottles of liquor and wine. Baby formula and medicines were exempt but had to be inspected.
Why don't they just ask everyone to drink from their liquid bottles? Isn't that a ure way to see if there's explosives in them? As to exempting baby formula and medicine, that sounds dangerous. Why not pour some in the baby's mouth? If the parent balks, call them out for a special search, but keep the line moving.
As to the lines:
At Newark Airport in New Jersey, the security checkpoint line for Terminal B, home to most international flights, stretched the entire length of the terminal - roughly six football fields - and was barely moving.
A thumbs-up to Manchester, NH:
Some passengers gave banned items away. Airport officials in Manchester, N.H., officials offered padded envelops and paid the postage to mail items home.
More on the threat from the Guardian:
As international disruption began to cause delays at US airports, Mr Chertoff and Robert Mueller, the director of the FBI, became the first officials to publicly suggest al-Qaida might have been involved. Speaking to reporters in Washington DC, Mr Chertoff repeatedly cited the British legal system as a reason for withholding details, but he did call the disrupted plans "suggestive of an al-Qaida plot". Mr Mueller also said the scheme "had the earmarks of an al-Qaida plot."
As to the 21 persons arrested in Britain:
While the British home secretary, John Reid, declined to give any details of the identities of the 21 people arrested in overnight raids in the UK, the first clues began to emerge in the US. The terrorism expert Peter Bergen told CNN he understood the detainees to be Britons of Pakistani descent.
President Bush will make a public statement later today.

I'm no chemist, but I suspect that not all explosive ingredients are so toxic that drinking a mouthful will cause an immediate reaction. If we're talking about people who plan to blow themselves up in a few hours anyway, a belly full of cancer-causing swill is no big thing.

As John Amato suggests, read the comments for a bit of fun.

I once found a video clip somewhere on the internet of speeches at the 2004 Republican convention. Everything was edited out from them except the moments when a speaker -- like Giulianai -- uttered the phrase "9/11." The phrase was jerked through innumerable variations of tone and posture. It was at once hilarious and disturbing. But my point is that the refrain was constant. Much the same holds true, of course, for the constant invocation of the phrase "al-Qaeda." We need to be kept in a state of terror for our own good.

I think when travelers are forced to throw away a perfectly good tube of Colgate Whitening...the terrorists win.
by squeaky on Thu Aug 10, 2006 at 01:14:02 PM EST
Colgate-Palmolive et al are shedding no tears. Profits should surge after a few weeks of this nonsense. Yes, the terrorists are winning and I guess war is good for the economy.
theo:
We need to be kept in a state of terror for our own good.
I think this sums up both the problem and the solution. Those who are willing to be terrorised can be "kept in a state of terror". Those who are not are largely immune to the entire pantomime. Are you in a state of terror? I'm not. Maybe we should start a petition for people to let their elected representatives know that the terror alerts are not working?
I read a report that the bombers planned to use bottles with fake bottoms - Gatorade on the top half, dyed explosives on the top. It's a pretty easy way around the sip test.
by oldtree on Thu Aug 10, 2006 at 01:23:58 PM EST
alas, Chertoff, you recall, who doesn't know in from a ground hole his ass. this guy probably doesn't really understand that there is a mideast, that there are any "arabs" may shock him. Remember, he worked closely with brownie and gw. when they work, get out of the way. their credibility is just legendary

Toothpaste? What if you have to pour a bottle of Chanel No.5 down the drain? That stuff is expensive. Then again, maybe you could just pass the bottle down the line. You would have a lot of sweet-smelling cabinmates.

Cymro,some serious bogus doubletalk there. Congrats. So you're not terrorized, bfd. I hear the Israelis are counting hysteria as a casualty... I guess that means half of Lebanon.
by Patrick on Thu Aug 10, 2006 at 01:30:16 PM EST
You don't have to throw away anything, all these items can be checked in your bags, just not carried on the plane in a carry on. If you need your channel no 5 on the plane, then you have bigger problems than terrorists. I'll be back on the 25th and let you all know how it went. I'm looking forward to seeing the UK and Ireland. Hell, I'm eaven staying up north for a night.
by Johnny on Thu Aug 10, 2006 at 01:31:56 PM EST
Five dollars for toothpaste? Maybe thats why you are so angry Narius. I pay a buck or so for mine.
Those who are willing to be terrorised can be "kept in a state of terror". I know what you mean, but I think it's not just a matter of the will. Of course there is such a thing as culpable ignorance. But fear is a potent means of social control, right up there with shame, for example. People are susceptible. What the government has going is a kind of protection racket. They threaten us with a problem pretty much of their own making, and then offer to protect us from it -- needles to say, for a price. And the means of protection then again contributes to perpetuating the threat from which we need to be protected. Beautiful.

Have a safe trip Patrick.
This is exactly why passengers should be barefoot and all pilots should have guns with the cockpit doors deadbolt locked....yessir.
My toothpastes says do not mix with hemmaroid cream or your ass will explode. Thanks FDA.
Hemmorhoids are no laughing matter!
Never would've known listening to you.
hemorrhoids that is... SUO, Thanks
LWW, you misunderstand me, I was referring only to the fake terror alerts we are being subjected to. But I totally agree with you about the Israeli terrorism in Lebanon. If I lved there I would probably be just as angry as the Lebanese people are.

Have a safe trip Patrick, looking forward to your report.

Safe trip, Patrick.
Patrick, remember, if you see somebody drinking Gatorade, beat their *ss down.
"This is exactly why passengers should be barefoot and all pilots should have guns with the cockpit doors deadbolt locked....yessir." Yeah, but first cut pilots pay as much as 70%, cheapen their medical benefits and by all means take away their retirement. Then, give them guns....... Have a safe trip, Patrick.

stay safe, Patrick But if you pack gels/liquids that are in tubes or plastic in checked luggage, be sure to put them in a baggie in case they rupture in high altitudes. I had a *really* bad experience with acrylic paint tubes once.....

George W. Bush -- Were safer now than we were after 9/11. (Hysterical laughter in the background) Tucker Carlson -- is Iran responsible for the new terror plots in Great Britain, are they planning new attacks? The Iranians could have nuclear weapons by August 22, 2006. CNN's personal-finance editor -- Don't use your cell phone within 50 feet of a suspicious object. British airport security -- all passengers please strip naked before entering the plane (Benny Hill's revenge) CNN Closing Bell -- the Dow is up, small-cap stock in private security firms skyrocketing. Invest now. CNN Kudlow and Kramer -- "we dodged a terrorist plot that could've wound up killing tens of millions of Americans." US airport screeners -- I don't think I can taste any more baby formula today, it's giving me the runs. But those prescription drugs (Prozac, Percocet, Darvocet, Methadone) are making me happy, keep them coming. Michael Chertoff -- The Islamic Fascists believe if they kill enough of us, we'll cut and run, I'm here to prove them wrong. Chris Matthews -- "...this is a big day... this is a horrible day for the country." (The hard-core journalist who lives for strife showing itself) "Tony Snow yesterday said this kind of terrorism were facing today results from our failure to invade Baghdad back in 1991." (The president is blaming his daddy now). Congressman Peter King (Republican) -- Nine planes blown up over the Atlantic using household products. The terrorists were going to mix them on the planes while their in-flight headed for the United States. "America played a leading role in wrapping this up." "This is a battle for civilization." "You can only appease for so long" Chris Matthews -- "You believe the Democratic Party has joined the causes of right." Congressman Peter King -- "I believe Joe Lieberman has." (Nice plug for the Lieberman campaign).
so bushco knew for 2 weeks and they only upped the terror alert today?

Hemorrhoids are no laughing matter! They are nature's Code Red. These lines for security checks at airports are astounding, not only because a plot that has just been infiltrated is unlikely to carry on according to schedule. I remember clearly that advice for safety at airports, before Sept. 11, 1991, was to get out of the terminal and into the gate areas as soon as possible, since it was in terminals that gunmen carry out attacks. I'd say we've got right now a system of airports full of sitting ducks; thank goodness murderous gunmen actually are scarce.

Some passengers gave banned items away. Airport officials in Manchester, N.H., officials offered padded envelops and paid the postage to mail items home. Therefore turning them, if they turn out to be dangerous, into mail bombs.

Actually, that wasn't a real concern. You see, if the person in question was Brown, no envelope was provided. Instead, the non-white-ness of the individual marked the person for immediate interrogation, full body cavity search, and immediate detention without access to legal representation. Sieg Heil!

The illusion of security in full bloom. Adults touting this as some kind of security success are deluded. Obviously, any sentient being is happy these attacks, if they were indeed serious, did not occur. An intelligent sentient being is much less deluded than the leaders who tout their luck as if its the result of some savvy strategy. When it's more akin to a blink squirrel finding a chipmunk. Good work, get over it, and realize that anyone with a sliver of a brain can kill thousands of people in a day and easily. Which is why "war" on a concept is a failure to the end. Twice in the last few years here in San Diego, unknown attackers have run up behind people, stabbed them in the back, then fled never to be caught. Are people wearing security cameras on the backs of their heads?
Wow, how about a BLIND squirrel finding a NUT? My six year-old yapping in my ear is making it hard to think. And so, I shall stop. Until bedtime.
I meant to add to Patrick: Have a good trip, and may god speed ... because 14 hours sitting on hemorrhoids is not a laughing matter. It's funny to folks who haven't experienced it, but it ain't funny to the person with 'em. Back on topic: the brits have a very bad record on being honest about any terrerist claims. According to ppj they still think iraq was buying yellow cake, they murdered a man in a subway and then lied about it as long as they could, they claimed saddam could attack them in 45 minutes ... and blair has done everything he could to support, not the US, but bush. I call BS.
Actually Dadler, I think a blind squirrel would not have a problem finding the nuts he buried. Although they do use their prodigious memory aided by visual cues, most of the collection is done by sense of smell. It is a mute point though, because a blind squirrel would not live long enough to be burying nuts in the first place. Nonetheless I agree with your point 100%. Funny that your analogy came out while your six-year old chipmunk was driving you nuts.

Can't you get anything right? Or do you deliberately tell fibs? They still think Iraq was TRYING to purchase. BTW - You call BS? Well, you are full of it. et al - Somebody noted that you can't carry liquids or pastes in your CARRY ON luggage, but you can CHECK IT in your suitcase. Dadler - I don't think anyone is calling this a security success. What it is that we won a battle and saved thousnads of lives and the jobs of people who work in travel related industries. Now I realize that isn't important to you. But to those involved in the real world, it was and is a nice piece of work.
of course if you put such things in your checked luggege they migt not make it due to the contents not being in the tubes anymore. so really, whats the point.
Hey kdog! How'd you do in Vegas?
Jen - True. If you can't figure out how to replace what has been lost, then you surely need to stay at home. Sigh....life is full of hardships.
PPK Why stay at home? You are a binary fella, aint you? I said you can't check fluids, gels etc in checked luggage. They expand. If the container can't hold them they rupture. Haven't you EVER flown?
BTW - You call BS? Well, you are full of it.
welcome to yet another (psychotic) episode of 'all about jim.' BTW, ppj, we the grownups were talking about UK, US & AQ. Please try to focus.

I don't know who you mean by "they". There are also people who believe the moon landing was a hoax. Maybe that's who you mean. As for the ventriloquist's dummy, Blair, he was the one remember who not only held that Saddam Hussein had chemical weapons, but that they could be launched within 45 minutes of his order. This was in the famous Dodgy Dossier, and it was a claim (I'll spare you the embarrassment of suggesting it might be true) that was later refuted by Sir Richard Dearlove, head of MI6. (Yes, that's his real name.). So, forgive me for not crediting Bush and Blair with much credibility. They have only themselves to blame.

Squeaky, Squirrels may bury nuts but they rarely find them later on. It's actually one of those odd natural things that they unwarying 'plant' future nut trees for future tree rats. The funny thing is they always find my tulip bulbs. They dig them up, take one bite and toss them aside. I do have to say that there is a cute clutch of Greys that seem to control the tree canopies over the house and yard. I saw a Black squirrel a few blocks over and would like some of them to move over here to intermix with the grey. Affrimitive action and all that good rot.
Jen - Oh, only about three million commercial and god knows how many military miles. Let me give you a tip. Commercial jets are pressurized to about 8000 to 10,000 feet, even in the baggage compartment. So I find it doubtful that you will have much trouble with leakage, assuming the container has any physical strength. But, just in case, make sure all liquid containers are filled only about 50%, and if possible evacuate the air inside them before sealing by opening the cap and squeezing the air out, then closing the cap. Or else do what any experience traveler does, and place anything you worry about leaking in a watertight bag and then place that in your luggage. Any good luggage shop can sell you one. Binary? Well, you were the one whinning. Simpler..if you can't stand the leaks, stay out of the airplane. jimcee - Tree rats is a good description. I have ones that love squash. Some they eat, some they bury. Have you ever seen albinos? Al - Uh, Sailor was speaking of the British.. As he would say, please stay on subject. Sailor, and are you telling us that the Brits said Iraq purchased????? No, you know that they didn't say that, so who is BSing? Can you spell s a i l o r??
PPJ, "the British" believe no such thing. You're probably thinking of Slimy Tony. See above.

You were the one whining because we think the new rule a bit illogical. Yes experienced travelers DO put that stuff in baggies. (you didnt read earlier post. see above re: acrylic paint tubes) Because we KNOW THAT THE STUFF MIGHT EXPLODE ALL OVER OUR CLOTHES. You were the one saying Just put it in checked luggage. I responded. It blows up. I don't want toothpaste from a tube that has been ruptured. I'll buy it at my destination. Same for anything else. The new restrictions are somewhat overreacting. The explosives can be put in checked luggage too. In that gatorade bottle. Or they can switch to hiding the explosives in a NON liquid containing item for carry on.

cymro... I totally agree with you about the Israeli terrorism in Lebanon No comment from you about rockets fired into Israel? That's ok? Not terrorism? If I lved there I would probably be just as angry as the Lebanese people are How about directing that anger at the people actually responsible for this? Hezbollah...????? PPJ... Have you ever seen albinos? My sis has a place in Wisc and albino squirrels are all over the place! I was amazed at how many there are around her lake, and that seems to be the only place in that area. Jen... The new restrictions are somewhat overreacting. What would you suggest?
by Jlvngstn on Fri Aug 11, 2006 at 07:14:20 AM EST
For those of you lacking in basic physics knowledge, a gatorade bottle which is basically clear when tipped over for a drink, the liquid all moves forward. If bottomed out the part sealed off will not move, hence something should tip off the screener. Patrick, have a safe trip and I wish you well in your travels.

Sailor - Off topic? Here's what you said: (Note the "back on topic") ;-)
Back on topic: the brits have a very bad record on being honest about any terrerist claims. According to ppj they still think iraq was buying yellow cake,
So your comment was that the Brits don't know beans and that their comments re al-qaeda are wrong. For proof you reference a statement that I have never made, and, in fact the Brits haven't made. As I pointed out, the Brits did say, and haven't retracted, that Iraq was trying to purchase yellowcake. And when I correct you, you want to claim that my correction is off topic? Ah yes, the old "the victim shouldn't defend himself" meme. Sailor, really. You embarass yourself. Jen - Here's what you said:
I said you can't check fluids, gels etc in checked luggage. They expand. If the container can't hold them they rupture. Haven't you EVER flown?
Did you mean, "Checked fluids and gels may expand abd leak." I have been checking various tolietry items for over thirty years on commercial ailiners and have never had one "explode." I did start putting anything that can leak into a leak proof bag after a sweet experience with some Old Spice after shave on a trip to San Francisco. et al - So the traveling public can either check it or buy it when they get there. And yes, hotel gift shops will see an increase in business. And if you want to blame someone, try the IslamicFascists that want to kill you. Not Blair. Not Bush. Not the invasion in Iraq.
no, I meant rupture. Like the tubes of acrylic paint did in my father's carry on luggage. He was bringing them to me from the states. They did not arrive safetly, they were RUPTURED. The contents that should have been on the inside were on the outside. There were big rips in the tubes. They ruptured, blew up, exploded, went poof, made a mess. Experiened travelers, those of us who hate long waits and lost luggage, pack light and carry on everything. Amtrack and Greyhound must be loving this.
in my dads checked luggage. I really should learn to proofread

jimcee-
Squirrels may bury nuts but they rarely find them later on.
Your hatred of "tree rats" may be clouding your mind here. Too many studies have been done to show that squirrels do in fact find most of their nuts. I can empathize with your hatred of the little furry beasts. My cousin and his then 8 year old daughter, both among the gentlest of people I have ever met, were driven to acts of grisly murder because squirrels tried to take over their house. The weirdest thing was not that they devised horrible methods of capturing and killing the invaders, but that they recounted the stories of success with the utmost glee imaginable. So, I can understand what a squirrel can do to a person, but still their nut finding ability has the scientific community in awe. Here is an apocryphal story, if you haven't seen it already, about a killer squirrel. Scary but amusing nonetheless.
by Nowonmai on Fri Aug 11, 2006 at 06:54:40 PM EST
I saw the comment of "You just stay home" and could not believe the asininity of it. Just stay home? Some don't have that luxury of 'just stay home'. As much as I do agree the need for security, it's being done backasswards. Many countries have sniffer dogs to check what's coming into the countries, rather than what's going out. Time to shift the focus, guys. And news flash, if you have canine units checking what's leaving, it prevents it from entering the country at the other end of the trip by not being there. And also, I would not want to be the person standing next to the container all these 'suspect' liquid containers were being dumped into pre-flight. Drinking from (baby) bottles will not prove they aren't dangerous. Just proves that the taster has a strong stomach and won't puke.
by jimakaPPJ on Fri Aug 11, 2006 at 07:34:37 PM EST
Nowonmai - Uh, perhaps my sarcasm has been too subtle. I know it has for Jen... But perhaps you will explain this deeper than most statements...

Squeaky, As usual you have assumed I hate Squirrels. I don't. They can be annoying at times but I generally like them and feel bad when I can identify a dead one from the new generation. Tree-Rats is sort of an endearing term, you know, like that sweet Lieberman Blackface term you defended so much. I love them but.... If I understand from your past posts you are a NYC resident(?) and that doesn't put you on the cutting edge of mother nature. If you ever want to come above Westchester I'll be more than happy to give you a tour of the rest of New York State. The place with bears, deer and trees. Also the place where desperate people escaping the ponderous pompacity that is NYC come. In growing numbers. Funny how they start out like you thinking they are oh so smart and end up learning that country bumpkism is a more honest way of life. The bagels aren't as good but the people are better. And we can call squirrels tree rats because well they really are rodents/rats with fluffy tails. That not withstanding if you want to understand NYS beyond NYC I suggest you visit the 'World Famous' Osceola Hotel on the Tug Hill Plateau, if you need a guide I am more than willing to show you around. I like my rodents but there isn't a shortage of them regardless of the traffic fatalities in my neighborhood. If you have a soft spot for rodents NYC is the best place for you to live because rats are all to present.

Wow you really live way up in the boonies. Believe it or not, despite the fact that I was born and bred in NYC, I have ventured out of it, from extreme wilderness to plain rural American countryside. I am touched by your generous offer to show me around your locale. It looks as if it is quite stunning from a naturalist point of view. If I am ever in the neighborhood and will take you up on your offer as long as you promise not to shoot me in the face.

Dánio perlové (Danio margaritatus), známé též pod obchodním názvem razborka galaxy (Microrasbora sp. Galaxy), je drobná sladkovodní paprskoploutvá ryba z čeledi kaprovití (Cyprinidae). Pochází z Myanmaru. České i odborné druhové jméno poukazuje na výraznou kresbu na těle ryb, které vypadají jako poseté perlami. Pro své atraktivní zbarvení a velikost nepřesahující 3 cm se dánia perlová stala žádanými akvarijními rybami.

Taxonomie a názvosloví

Dánio perlové bylo objeveno roku 2006. Vzhledem k podobnosti s druhem tehdy známým jako Microrasbora erythromicron (dnes Danio erythromicron) byl nový a dosud nepopsaný druh zprvu řazen do rodu Microrasbora. Na akvaristickém trhu se záhy po svém objevu rozšířil pod obchodním jménem Microrasbora sp. Galaxy (anglicky galaxy rasbora, česky razborka galaxy). Roku 2007 bylo dánio perlové vědecky popsáno jako Celestichthys margaritatus (což lze přeložit jako nebeská rybka pokrytá perlami, anglicky se nazývá ) a zařazeno do nově ustanoveného rodu Celestichthys. Na základě pozdějších výzkumů a analýzy DNA byl však rod Celestichthys synonymizován s rodem Danio a současný platný vědecký název dánií perlových je Danio margaritatus.
České jméno dánio perlové je ojediněle používáno i pro druh Danio albolineatus, jehož správné české jméno je dánio duhové. Jedná se o doslovný překlad anglického jména dánia duhového, .

Výskyt a biotop
Typová lokalita druhu se nachází poblíž města Hopong, 30 km východně od města Taunggyi ve východním Myanmaru, v nadmořské výšce asi 1040 m. Jedná se o rychle se rozvíjející lokalitu s intenzivní výstavbou. Dánio perlové zde žije v malých a mělkých jezírkách v travnaté krajině, napájených prameny a průsaky. Voda je zde nejvýše 30 cm hluboká a bohatě zarostlá rostlinami podobnými vodnímu moru z čeledi voďankovitých (Hydrocharitaceae). V lednu 2007 zde byla naměřena teplota vody 22-24 °C. V lokalitě byly zjištěny tři další druhy ryb: Microrasbora podobná nebo totožná s druhem Microrasbora rubescens, malá blíže neurčená mřenka rodu Yunnanilus a malý rybožravý hadohlavec Channa harcourtbutleri.
Výskyt dánií perlových byl později zjištěn v širší oblasti povodí řeky Salwin – v jižní části státu Shan a severním Thajsku.

Chov v akváriu
 Chov ryby: Nenáročná, vhodná buď do společenských akvárií se stejně velkými rybami, nebo do jednodruhového akvária. Je vhodné ji chovat v hejnu alespoň 10 a více kusů.
 Teplota vody: 20–27°C
 Kyselost vody: 6,5–7,5pH
 Tvrdost vody: 3–10°dGH
 Krmení: Jedná se o všežravou rybu, preferuje živou potravu, přijímá také vločkové, nebo mražené krmivo. Pro dobré vybarvení a růst by strava měla být pestrá.
 Rozmnožování: Klade jikry, která však často požírá. Maximální počet jiker od jedné samice během jednoho třecího období je přibližně 30. Plůdek je velmi malý a je problém s jeho rozkrmením. Ryby dospívají po dosažení velikosti 12-15 mm.
