AUK's Chain Gang: Will Cookson "As the Devil Pleases"
May 10, 2021 Mark Whitfield Features 0
Last week Kimberly Bright picked a track by Justin Townes Earle's collaborator and friend Scotty Melton whose songs such as 'Me and the Devil' she described as "rigorously honest… unflinching depictions of life and psychological landscapes." We move on this week to a completely different artist but one who also sang about the devil back in 2016 on his 'Ghosts of the Morning Sun' album. Will Cookson is an English singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist working loosely within the alt-folk genre. His albums are terrific but at their best his songs can be just superb. Exhibit A is 'As the Devil Pleases' – with its evocative imagery of "Broken ice on an empty sea" and "Hidden cracks in your head" it's all a bit haunting – and it's a song that stayed with me long after the first time I heard it – one I come back to often, that's if I can summon up the courage.

When I first saw the link to this article, I thought it might be in regards to the 2017 World Championships in Portland as Chris Dean was a major part of the organising team, however this is a few years earlier, previewing one of the many US Open events that have been held in Portland.
Of course Portland has high-level, competitive Hacky Sack. Considering our city is home to sizable Quidditch and unicycle scenes, you shouldn't be surprised to see serious interest in the lunch-period pastime that brought together soccer guys, band geeks and bad kids in a circle where they could hand-pass low-grade pot while knocking around a small beanbag.
But Hacky Sack—known to die-hards and intellectual-property lawyers as footbag—has grown to the point that there are two specialized branches. These days, few players can be competitive in both "freestyle" and "net" play. We asked Chris Dean, a Portlander who placed eighth in freestyle routine at last year's World Championships in Montreal and who is organizing this weekend's U.S. Open Footbag Championships in West Linn, to explain the modern sport.
A story recommending taking up the hack as an activity to do between classes or a 90s revival activity. Some quotes from students at a couple of different universities.
To hacky or not to hacky — not really one of Shakespeare's ponderings but still a legitimate question nonetheless, at least around college campuses.
Invented in 1972, hacky sack's popularity did not surge again until this decade. Its presence had been dominant in the preceding years until the new millennium. But now it is time to dig up that old bag of beans out of your closet under your neon baseball cap and Backstreet Boys CD. Don't call it a comeback; call it a revolution.


Aussie-super-mum, Stephanie Boyle, reflects on the Ramadan countdown she and her son, Ayman (5 years old), undertook this year with the help of our book, The 99 Names of God. We hope you enjoy reading and feel inspired to do something similar next year!
We'll be exhibiting at London Book Fair on March 14-16 with our distributor, Central Books. Contact us if you would like to arrange a meeting or just come over and say hi on stand 4F40!
We bear our pain and our burdens with the belief that God is with us. He helps and supports us through the bad times and shares our joy in the good. And whatever befalls us we say "Alhamdulillah" – all praise belongs to God. For he is indeed the Knower of All, al-Alim.

Mad Politics: The Bizarre, Fascinating, and Unknown of American Political History
What your history class missed!
September 19, 2021 Fascinating Politics
Investigating Social Shifts: LGBT Issues
One of the most astounding legislative and societal shifts I have seen in my lifetime has been how the American public and its legislators perceive issues surrounding people who are not strictly heterosexual. What I aim to do for this post and the next one is to organize important votes surrounding what we now call LGBT rights issues and ultimately explain what happened with this shift in opinion. For some of these votes early on I'm going to include ones surrounding AIDS, as this illness was in the 1980s largely perceived as mostly impacting homosexual men. Also included are efforts at prohibiting equal recognition through benefits of married and unmarried couples. The most striking shifts I'm seeing so far include on same-sex marriage and gays in the military. I also doubt that 20-25 years ago people were thinking that there would be a universal embrace of trans rights issues by the Democratic Party. Additionally, I'm seeing that some of the change is due to Democratic legislators who voted against LGBT measures losing reelection to Republicans or have since retired.

LT says:
Great analysis as usual. It seems that people back then in general were more socially conservative than nowadays, which may explain why determinants for what constitutes a conservative or liberal prior to the 60s and 70s often seem to be based on economic and foreign policy issues. As for LGBT matters, another important thing to mention is the investigation by Kenneth Wherry and J. Lister Hill in 1950 of homosexuals in the State Department, which was part of the Lavender Scare.
fascinatingpolitics says:
Thanks again! In the course of my research for the follow-up post, I have found that the American public grew more liberal on most moral issues from 2001 to 2015, with the most dramatic shift being in same-sex marriage. And yes, I plan on giving the Lavender Scare some coverage with this next one.

Chris is a Stanford-educated tutor with over 10 years experience tutoring Geometry to students of all abilities, from students struggling to get from a C to a B, to go-getters trying to move an A- up to an A, to struggling students just hoping to pass. In that time he got a lot of experience learning how to explain this stuff in a way it actually makes sense to normal people. Through his videos he has helped countless students, and he can do the same for you.
Whether you're taking a class called "Geometry" or you're just reviewing for an entrance or exit exam, below are all the topics you may need.
Videos covering the definition of midpoint, as well as how to find the coordinates of the midpoint of a line segment in the X-Y plane.
This video introduces the number line and explains how to use it to add and subtract negative numbers. It also explains how to determine if segments on the number line are congruent.
This video covers all your basic triangle vocabulary, as well as that particular type of SAT question where they ask you if a triangle is "possible" with the given side lengths.
The 180 rule is one of the most important things you'll learn in geometry, and it will haunt you forever if you don't get it down! The exterior angle theorem, on the other hand, is almost useless and you'll never see it or it's "inequality" version ever again. Yet both may be on the test.
Once you get into the chapters of your book that cover congruent triangles, you're going to get so sick of congruent shapes that you'll be able to shoot your own video on them. But if you're just getting to congruence for the first time, these quick videos introduce the basics of congruent shapes and corresponding parts that you'll need so that you can understand what your teacher is talking about.
The chapter with every possible combination and permutation of S's and A's except for one: SSA. What are these good for, how do we use them in proofs, and why exactly is SSA not a thing? Prepare to enter the fray of congruent triangles!
Corresponding parts of corresponding triangles really are congruent. This isn't the first chapter that mentions corresponding parts, but this is where we'll get into how to use them in proofs.
Many geometry teachers don't cover all of these because they're redundant, right-triangle-only versions of all the congruence theorems you already know. The only one that every teacher covers is H-L.
Between the main theorem and the corollaries, you wouldn't believe how often you're going to come across this theorem throughout your academic career, from trig to physics to calculus to architecture and design. And the SAT!
The videos in this section cover a few different random topics in triangles that didn't really fit in anywhere else.
These videos cover a couple of theorems about the bisectors of angles and segments. I'll save you the suspense: both involve things being equidistant, and result in congruent triangles.
These videos introduce the aspects of ratios and proportions that you will need whether you're in Goeometry or you're about to take the SAT.
The videos in this chapter explain what similar triangles and similar polygons are, and how to solve various types of problems including: scale factors, missing sides, similar trapezoids. Also explained are which types of polygons are always similar (i.e. squares, equilateral triangles, special right triangles, etc).
This chapter covers the very specific type of triangle problem where you are supposed to solve for "x" in a right triangle where an altitude to the hypotenuse divides a right triangle into two smaller right triangles, both of which are similar to the original. It's very meta.
If you need to find missing sides of similar triangles, that is mostly covered in the similar polygons chapter videos. Instead, this chapter of videos on similar triangles focuses on similarity theorems and proofs for triangles. Also covered are right triangle problems involving the "geometric mean" of various sides and the "altitude to the hypotenuse" of right triangles.
This section covers all those problems where a couple of parallel lines are crossed by another line (the transversal) and you're then supposed to figure out all the angles, and show which ones are congruent.
Theorems, problems, and proofs involving parallelograms.
These quadrilaterals are kind of like The Beatles: most people have only heard of three of them: squares, rectangles, and rhombuses (rhombusi). Kites, on the other hand, are only covered in some geometry classes. This chapter has theorems, problems and proofs for all of them, but if your class doesn't cover kites, you probably shouldn't use those theorems on your next test.
Trapezoids are technically quadrilaterals with a single pair of parallel sides, but the reality is that most of the problems you'll ever see are isosceles trapezoids. So in this chapter most of the problems and proofs are about isosceles trapezoids, but we also discuss the little trick questions where teachers and test makers throw in the weird non-standard trapezoids to try and throw you off.
The first video in this chapter covers the basis of the following vocab items: radius, diameter, circumference, chord, secant, tangent, arcs (major & minor), inscribed angles, Central angles, concentric. The second video covers some very basic proofs based on the fact that all the radii of a given circle are the same length.
The first video in this chapter covers basic circumference problems, where you need to get circumference when you know diameter or radius, or vice versa. Then there are two videos about pulleys and gears, car wheels and bike tires, how far and how fast a car is going when its tires rotate a certain speed. Finally we'll discuss what gear ratios are even for, and why your bike has 20 speeds in the first place.
These videos introduce arcs, arc length, central angles, and inscribed angles, then they go through lots of different examples involving solving for missing angles and arcs between.
These videos cover everything you could want to know about chords of circles, from solving for missing angles to doing proofs about equidistant chords.
Not to be confused with trig tangents, circle tangents are segments which sidle up alongside a circle and intersect it at exactly one point. This chapter covers the definition, problems and theorems, including how inscribed angle theorems apply to tangents.
Videos covering problems where two secants meet outside a circle, and the problem asks you to calculate the length of the segments, or the angle between them.
This chapter is super-important if you're ever planning on taking the SAT or another tough standardized test. You won't see sectors too much after Geometry class, but circles and circle-ish regions, especially "shaded regions" involving circles and triangles, are favorite topics for test-makers everywhere!
This video covers equations of circles in X-Y coordinates. This topic isn't covered by most geometry teachers, but if it's in your class, here you go. For equations of other conics, like ellipses and parabolas, check out the Algebra 2 page.
Besides rectangles and squares, this chapter covers other basics of area such as how to convert units for area problems, such as from square cm to square meters (cm^2 to m^2) or square inches to square feet (in^2 to ft^2).
This topic includes videos covering just about every type of triangle area problem, all listed by type. Plus, a couple of videos that are going to SAVE YOUR BACON on every triangle problem you'll ever see, including on the SAT!
Examples and word problems using parallelograms (parallelagrams sp) and trapezoids.
Rhombuses unfortunately use the same area formula as kites -- A = ½ d1d2. "Unfortunate" because you won't remember that formula a year or even 3 months from now when you need it on a big test! So in this chapter, whenever I work an area problem I'll also show you how to work it using parallelograms or triangles, since that's how you'll remember to do it long after the diagonals formula is lone gone from your mind.
The first video in this chapter covers what an apothem is and how to find it. The second shows you how to use the apothem formula to find the area of regular polygons such as pentagons, hexagons, octagons, etc., and it also explains how to find the area of regular polygons a better way.
This chapter covers a particular type of problem, where they give you two similar 2-D or 3-D objects -- triangles or polygons or circles or squares or cylinders -- and expect you to figure out the scale factor, area, surface area and volume of one based on the other.
This chapter covers regular problems and word problems for how to find the volume of every type of solid: pyramids and cones, oblique and right prisms, spheres, and cylinders. Lots of word problems too, including unit conversions for units of volume: cubic inches, cubic meters, liters, etc.
These videos cover how to find the surface area of every type of solid: pyramids and cones, oblique and right prisms, spheres, and cylinders. Lots of word problems too.
This topic covers those problems where they give you a couple shapes, or a shaded region, or a shape inside another shape, or a shape next to a shape with a shaded region in between, and then you're supposed to figure out the probability that a random event (like impact by a bug or lawn dart) will strike one region or the other.
This chapter first defines everything you'd need to know about polygons: definition of polygon, names of polygons, concave vs convex, equilateral vs equiangular, regular vs irregular. Then it gets into the various types of problems you'll see, like finding interior and exterior angles, apothems of polygons, and area of polygons.


When Braun Intertec became involved working on the Andersen Air Force Base in Guam, the scope of work was originally just for geotechnical consultation. It increased to include evaluation of the aggregates being used to construct the south runway.
The concrete mix design for the runway required the use of a 1-1/2" and 3/4" crushed limestone. According to the job specifications, the material had to be evaluated per a modified version of ASTM C 295 "Standard Guide for Petrographic Examination of Aggregates for Concrete" and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer's protocol CRD-C 130-01, "Standard Recommended Practice for Estimating Scratch Hardness of Coarse Aggregate Particles." The credentials for the individual performing the tests are quite demanding. Our petrography department has one out of only a handful of individuals within the United States who could perform this test to the level demanded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In addition, the work had to be performed by an accredited laboratory meeting the requirements of ASTM C 1077, "Standard Practice for Laboratories Testing Concrete and Concrete Aggregates for Use in Construction and Criteria for Laboratory Evaluation." Braun Intertec met those strict requirements.
Before the petrography department evaluated the samples, the Aggregate Laboratory performed several tests. A single sample consisted of 200 pounds for the 1-1/2" coarse aggregate and 25 pounds for the 3/4" coarse aggregate. Each sample was washed and graded, and then checked for clay lumps and friable particles, as well as tested for lightweight particles at 2.0 and 2.4 specific gravities. Due to their size, these large samples took roughly 16 times longer to run than the traditional ASTM tests performed within our lab. Once all of these tests were completed, the samples were turned over to Petrography for the final analysis.
The test method involved determining the scratch hardness of nearly every particle in a sample. In addition, each particle was examined for particles that could make the runway unfit for use. Any material considered problematic fell into various categories, consisting of clay ironstone, chert and cherty stone, claystone, mudstone and siltstone, and shaly and argillaceous materials. These categories aided in the interpretation of the final results.
Our petrography department resolved a major stumbling block when a competing laboratory misclassified the material that floated in the 2.4 specific gravity solution. The mistake could have disqualified the aggregate for use in the runway. Within 24 hours, the critical issue was resolved based on our petrography department's quick review and comments.

"I can only say that, sometimes, a wedding might look luxurious, but in fact, it didn't really cost as much as people thought," explains Emil, who has been in the wedding industry for 13 years.
Another famous wedding organizer, Rina Gunawan, agrees with Emil. According to her, a luxurious-looking wedding is just a matter of "smart face-lifting".
"It's our job to play 'the magician game' — turning the simple into the luxurious-looking," says Rina, also an actress and presenter. "And those who said Nia and Ardie's wedding cost Rp 100 billion are totally wrong.
Believe me, I know, it didn't cost that much," she adds.
Rina had her own reasons to make such a claim because she was one of the few organizers behind socialite Adinda Bakrie's — Aburizal's niece, wedding in 2008. The wedding, rumored to have cost Rp 20 billion, was not as expensive as people thought.
"People made the wrong assumptions [about the wedding's cost] — they were fooled by the luxurious-looking decorations," she smiles.
These days, Rina says, the local wedding industry has grown significantly, offering brides and grooms many options to chose from when tying the knot. This, she says further, has encouraged some people to hold extravagant weddings.
"Today, there are many [wedding] themes to chose from," she says. "There are books about weddings, wedding exhibitions, and so on. People today are more knowledgeable about weddings and have more sources to draw inspiration from.
Many of us might wonder how much people spend for their "big" dream wedding. Well, there are no exact numbers, since the cost of a wedding depends on the number of guests — how much food has to be ordered and how big the venue must be to accommodate them.
If 1,000 invitations are sent out (implying 2,000 guests have been invited), Rina says, a reception in a banquet hall can cost between Rp 400 million to Rp 500 million. This, of course only covers expenses for the venue and food.
"In five-star hotels, it would cost more than Rp 500 million," says Rina, who was also behind the much-praised weddings of celebrities like Bunga Citra Lestari and Ashraf Sinclair, as well as Titi Kamal and Christian Sugiono.
In addition to that, lucullan weddings generally entail splurging on designer wedding gowns, famous makeup artists and top decorators.
For stylish wedding decorations, for example, one should spend around Rp 150 million, Rina says.
"But if you want super-duper deluxe decorations from a top decorator then it will cost you Rp 500 million," she says, referring to the likes of Soeryanto, Nefi and Stupa Caspea.
And what about wedding gowns, or the kebaya [Javanese traditional blouse] and suits?
top local designers Anne Avantie, Amy Atmanto, Sebastian Gunawan, Eddy Betty and Biyan. Some brides also ask for wedding gowns from international designers like Vera Wang, Vivienne Westwood, Dior and Carolina Herrera, with ready-to-wear designs costing more than Rp 100 million.
Of course, once guests have been dazzled by the bride and groom's amazing looks, the beautiful wedding decorations and succulent food, couples and families planning weddings shouldn't forget about entertainment.
Yes, although Rina says entertainment is probably at the bottom of the list of priorities when planning a wedding, it remains the defining touch of a lavish wedding.
There are three forms of entertainment for high-end weddings, she says: a top singer, an orchestra and chamber music.
The most popular singers for big weddings include Krisdayanti, Titi DJ and Rossa. Meanwhile, those looking for a very high-class reception would probably go for orchestras belonging to Erwin Gutawa, Purwacaraka or Andi Riyanto.
So, now that we know a big wedding is more than just a celebration in a hall or ballroom, what actually happens "backstage"?
Well, organizers say a wedding reception of just a few hours can take up to six months to prepare.
"And most couples coming to us have already picked the venue for their reception," says Emil.
"If the venue has already been chosen, the next item to discuss is the theme," he adds.
Couples or wedding organizers come up with the wedding theme, he says.
"Once I proposed a soccer-themed reception to coincide with the World Cup season, and my client was happy with the idea.
The couple came out from a big soccer ball to surprise their guests," recalls Emil, who has organized weddings for the families of ministers such as Hatta Rajasa, Djoko Suyanto, Jero Wacik and Purnomo Yusgiantoro.
Wedding organizers, according to Emil, are all about easing the pressure on couples getting married.
"People hire wedding organizers because they and their families want to feel more relaxed before and during the big day," Emil says. "So, we set up the [wedding] schedule and negotiate with decorators, caterers, designers and photographers.
"We also arrange meetings between couples and vendors," he adds.
Rina agrees with Emil: "We set up a timetable for the couples, to make sure they meet weekly or monthly targets as scheduled.
Both Rina and Emil refuse to say how much people pay for their services. However, they explain wedding organizers use different systems of fees.
"Some wedding organizers ask for a percentage of the wedding's total budget, but I have a fix fee," Emil says, adding that he handles three to eight weddings per month. "My fee is, well, relatively the same [as other wedding planners]," he laughed.
Rina, on the other hand, acknowledges that some wedding organizers charge 10 to 20 percent of the total wedding budget. She, however, also applies a "management fee".
With such a high number of guests, of course, Rina had to deploy all of her 40 something part-time staff.
"That meant more expenses [for me], so I had adjust my fee, right?" says Rina, who handles four to six weddings every month.

5 Parenting Tips In The Digital Age
Technology has advanced so fast in the last 20 years, putting the world in a digital age that has changed the way many people parent their kids. It was not so long ago that life in this world was so much simpler, less complicated compared to what we have now. While it is true that there is such a thing as "the generation gap" a term first used in the 60's, when the younger generation seemed to go against everything their parents had previously believed in terms of music, values, governmental and political views as well as cultural tastes, this "gap" is more pronounced in this present generation, among the so called Millennials, or th ose born between the mid-1980's and early 2000 .

Hard Heartsingin (Japanese paper sleeve edition)
CD (Item 104719) Quad/Big Pink (South Korea), 1970 — Condition: New Copy
Send In Stock
Big Pink (label)
Quad (label)
Rock (CD, LP)
The one and only album from Douglas Fir – an obscure Northwest combo from the start of the 70s, but one who get some really top-shelf treatment on this album recorded for a small imprint of MGM! There's some surprisingly great larger arrangements at points – never too much, but just the right use of a bit of strings here, or a few horns there, to flesh out the spirit of the group's sound at the core – which is an often-melancholy mode that seems perfect for play on a rainy afternoon, where the swirling organ lines on some cuts ring out nicely, next to a few cuts that pick up a slight groove. Titles include "Jersey Thursday", "Moratorium Waltz", "Smokey Joe's", "Comin Back Home", "Tom's Song", "21 Years", "New Orleans Queen", and "Early Morning Rain". © 1996-2022, Dusty Groove, Inc.
We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Used Vinyl Grades
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
This is what it says, that the record is still held fast in shrink-wrap. We tend to be pretty suspicious about these things, so if the shrink-wrap doesn't look original, or if the record seems to have undergone some damage over time, we'll probably take it out of the wrapper to ensure that it's in good shape — which is why we don't have more of these. In some cases the shrink-wrap may be torn in spots, but if it's not possible the record has been taken out and played, the record will still qualify as "Sealed".
Dusty Groove does not use the grades of Near Mint (or Mint, for that matter) because in our experience, we find that no records ever qualify for such a high grade. Even sealed records tend to have one or two slight faults, enough to usually qualify them for a grade of NM- or lower. We've often found that records which are clearly unplayed will have a slight amount of surface noise, especially in quieter recordings.
Near Mint - (minus)
Black vinyl that may show a slight amount of dust or dirt.
Should still be very shiny under a light, even with slight amount of dust on surface.
One or two small marks that would make an otherwise near perfect record slightly less so. These marks cannot be too deep, and should only be surface marks that won't affect play, but might detract from the looks.
May have some flaws and discoloration in the vinyl, but only those that would be intrinsic to the pressing. These should disappear when the record is tilted under the light, and will only show up when looking straight at the record. (Buddah and ABC pressings from the 70's are a good example of this.)
May have some slight marks from aging of the paper sleeve on the vinyl.
Possible minor surface noise when played.
Very Good + (plus)
Vinyl should be very clean, but can have less luster than near mint.
Should still shine under a light, but one or two marks may show up when tilted.
Can have a few small marks that may show up easily, but which do not affect play at all. Most marks of this quality will disappear when the record is tilted, and will not be felt with the back of a fingernail.
This is the kind of record that will play "near mint", but which will have some signs of use (although not major ones).
May have slight surface noise when played.
Vinyl can have some dirt, but nothing major.
May not shine under light, but should still be pretty clean, and not too dirty.
May have a number of marks (5 to 10 at most), and obvious signs of play, but never a big cluster of them, or any major mark that would be very deep. Most marks should still not click under a fingernail.
May not look near perfect, but should play fairly well, with slight surface noise, and the occasional click in part of a song, but never throughout a whole song or more.
This is clearly a copy that was played by someone a number of times, but which could also be a good "play copy" for someone new.
Very Good - (minus)
Vinyl may be dirty, and can lack a fair amount of luster.
Vinyl can have a number of marks, either in clusters or smaller amounts, but deeper.
This is the kind of record that you'd buy to play, but not because it looked that great. Still, the flaws should be mostly cosmetic, with nothing too deep that would ruin the overall record.
Examples include a record that has been kept for a while in a cover without the paper sleeve, or heavily played by a previous owner and has some marks across the surface. The record should play okay, though probably with surface noise.
Good + (plus)
Vinyl may be dirty, or have one outstanding flaw, such as a light residue, which could be difficult to clean.
May have marks on all parts, too many to qualify as Very Good-, or several deeper marks, but the record should still be ok for play without skips.
In general, this is a record that was played a fair amount, and handled without care. A typical example may be a record which has been heavily played by a DJ, and carries marks from slip cueing. Depending on the quality of the vinyl, may play with surface noise throughout.
A record that you'd buy to play, cheap, but which you wouldn't buy for collecting.
Will have marks across all parts of the playing surface, and will most likely play with surface noise throughout. May have some other significant flaws, such as residue, or a track that skips.
In most cases, a poor quality copy of a very difficult to find record.
This is a grade we rarely use, as we try not to sell records in very bad condition, though in some rare cases we will list a record in such bad shape that it does not conform to the standards above. A "Fair" record will have enough marks or significant flaws that it does not even qualify as "Good", but is a copy you might consider for playing, if you're willing to put up with noise and/or flaws. An example might be a recording with surface noise so heavy that it is equal to the volume of the music. For records listed as "Fair", we will describe the extent of the condition in the comments.
Like "Fair", we rarely list records in this condition, as they represent the extreme low end of spectrum. These records typically have multiple serious problems, and we offer them as "relics" or "objects" only — for those who want to at least have a copy of a record, even if it is not really worthy of play, perhaps for the cover alone. For these records, we will describe the extent of the condition in the comments.
Additional Marks & Notes
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
Used CD Grade
We have only one grade for non-new CDs at Dusty Groove — "Used CD". This grade is somewhat all-encompassing, but we choose it because we try to offer Used CDs in the best shape possible.
When you purchase a Used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use but if there are significant details or defects we will list them underneath the item — just like we do with LPs — so look there for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details.
All of our Used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. If you purchase a Used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly — and if it does not, then you may return it for a full refund.

Penny Farthing/Big Pink (South Korea), 1970. New Copy

Uncle Dog
Old Hat (Japanese paper sleeve edition)
MCA/Big Pink (South Korea), 1973. New Copy
The only record we've ever seen from this British group from the early 70s – a rootsy combo who sound a fair bit like some of the best Marin County/Bay Area acts of the same time! Part of this quality comes from the vocals of Carol Grimes – a singer who can bring bluesy currents to a ... CD

Headstone (Japanese paper sleeve edition)
EMI/Big Pink (South Korea), 1975. New Copy
Headstone have a nice sort of bite here – a quality you might not expect from the obtuse look of the cover, but which comes across nicely in a blend of well-done guitar work and these oddly sinister vocalizations! Drums are sometimes slightly funky – not in a funk rock mode, but in a ... CD

Illamasqua and 'Harry potter and the Deathly Hallows'
Illamasqua have had the pleasure of working with the wonderful hair and make-up team of Harry Potter this week in the lead up to the new films launch next Friday 19th November. Spob O'Brien, Head of Professional Development for Illamasqua, headed down to the Press Junkit with her professional Illamasqua Make-Up Kit to work with the team for the two busy days that saw worldwide members of the press and television arrive to learn all about the new release.
Spob said…"Amanda Knight was over the moon with all of the Illamasqua products the team got to use, they were all so excited by and full of praise for them."
With all of the hair and Make-Up team so excited to use Illamasqua, welcoming the heritage of the brand as truly British, they all shared how keen they are to use the products on their upcoming titles as they move on after ten wonderful years of Harry Potter.
It wasn't just the actors, directors and producers of the show that received an Illamasqua transformation; at Harry Potter everyone was invited to be involved and had a great time, from Mums and Dads to brothers, sisters, wives and girlfriends. Everyone was truly wowed by Illamasqua and the colour range and professionalism of the products.
Last night saw the premiere of Harry Potter 7 Part 1, with Part 2 due for release in July 2011. All of the cast were looking fabulous and flawless. A big congratulations to the Harry Potter team and here's to many more years working with them.
The week has been a whirlwind of broomsticks and Make-Up wands for the Illamasqua and Harry Potter teams and we can't wait to see the new release…

Good players beg for the ball, not so much with their mouths (though they do sometimes shout) as with their body movements and facial expressions. Good players want the ball, and that want is obvious to whoever has it.
Yup, you need to look like you want the ball with Itchy fingers, greedy eyes … being low with palms up ready to catch the ball in triple threat.
Indeed Rakesh, itchy fingers is one the best cues to create this look. I thought about it a lot when I played and emphasize it now as I coach.
Every player wants more touches. If you want more touches, then look like you WANT THE BALL.
Exactly Rakesh, and as a passer its much easy to give the ball up to someone who really wants it instead of someone who is timid.

We know that this is a busy time of year for everyone as the holidays are fast approaching so we'll keep this newsletter brief while providing you with some important Portland real estate updates for home sellers, a few suggestions for making Thanksgiving run smoothly and some exciting news about my company!
Beginning January 1, 2018, the City of Portland will be requiring sellers who publicly list their homes (single family or townhouse) to include a Home Energy Score in their public listing. The purpose of this program is "…to make energy performance in residential buildings transparent, to enable more knowledgeable decisions about the full costs of operating a home, to motivate energy efficiency investments in homes that lower utilities, to reduce carbon emissions, and increase comfort, safety and health for home owners." A Home Energy Score is a 1-10 rating that provides information on the home's energy efficiency level based on the physical characteristics of the home, NOT the home owner's personal usage.
Please click here for a list of FAQs from the City of Portland.
As always, please feel welcome to call me if you have any questions about this new regulation and I am happy to discuss!

Some standout nuggets: "One more thing, don't ever lay down and wait to die" and "Humans aren't strong, they die easy." La-la-la-la-la-la-la.
Ungh. The pretty pictures flying through the air sure look nice.
Final Fantasy XIII-2 will be out next January.


I Went To An Indivisible Meeting. Here's What I Found.
Believe it or not, the organization isn't comprised of lawless, anti-American cynics, as Rep. Jason Chaffetz would have you believe.
My interest was piqued. Leftist mobs? Soros-paid protesters? There just had to be a juicy story here. So I decided to infiltrate Indivisible and investigate. These "professional agitators" congregate in public Facebook groups and one was hosting a local meeting near me, in a Unitarian church of all places. Aha! I thought. Using religion as a cover for intrusive activism. Very clever people.
Utah Indivisible's co-founder, Kellie Henderson, took the podium to welcome the overflowing crowd, introducing the bipartisan organization as one that strives for inclusion and focused political action. She claims to be a 911 dispatcher who started the now 5,000 member group with her sister, Courtney. Henderson bragged that Utah Indivisible was behind the Agree/Disagree signs distributed at the town hall to enable members to express their opinion without having to interrupt Congressman Chaffetz. I know. Disruptive with a capital "D." Don't be fooled by that respectable front, however. Courtney called on members to continue their offensive this month with a postcard blitz aimed at local representatives. So much stamp licking. And think of the paper cuts. I'm shuddering just contemplating it. Pure evil.


Good Measure Solitaire is a free solitaire card game for the PC, similar to Baker's Dozen Solitaire.
In Good Measure, two aces are dealt into the foundations and the remaining 50 cards are dealt into 10 piles of 5 cards. Only the top card in each pile may be moved between the piles or to the foundations. Foundations are built up by suit and piles are built down regardless of suit.
The player wins when all 52 cards have been moved to the foundations.

Q: Store rejection because of universal link I submitted my app to Apple for review. When they try to use a universal link it opens in Safari on their iPad instead of in the app.
We tried the exact same steps they did on multiple iPhones and iPads with the same build through TestFlight and it works on all our devices and the ones our external testers use.
So I was wondering if anyone had the same issue, that universal links did not work on Apple's reviewers side, and a possible resolution.
The universal link is key to our login process. In the app you enter your email and we send you a single use link that automatically signs you into the app.

A: Apple Services doesn't work with VPN/Proxy enabled. Which will result in failure to download the associated file for Universal Links (its getting checked/downloaded on install and app updates).
Although, I wouldn't expect Apple Reviews to not know that, so maybe its something else. Me personally, never had an issue with Universal Links during review but I'd recommend implementing a fallback scenario in your app and webpage, using Custom URL Scheme. Technically, any user might long press the URL and select "Open in Safari" instead of opening it in your app which will definitely break the flow.

This little cupcake-style sticky pudding can be deceiving. Just when you think it's looking very much like a regular cake with a lovely tender crumb you take a bit and go flying off to heaven. The texture is exquisite with the pureed dates and the flavour is incredible. And that is all before your douse the little puddings with warm toffee sauce.
Really, you might as well start with dessert on an evening when you're serving Sticky Toffee Pudding. It's so satisfying that I can't see a need to eat anything else afterwards.
This recipe makes more than a dozen little puddings so you'll have some left over. Another option is to bake them in little bread tins and cut them in slabs before serving, which I have done to great effect.
Preheat oven to 350 F and grease and flour muffin tins.
Add the dates and water to a small saucepan. Bring to the boil and simmer for two minutes.
In a large bowl, cream butter brown sugar and vanilla.
Add the molasses and beat well.
Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture in three additions and mix until smooth.
Puree the date mixture in a food processor or blender. Stir in the baking soda then add to the batter.
Spoon batter into well-greased and floured muffin tins and bake for about 18 – 20 minutes at 350 F until the center is just firm.
Let cool slightly before removing from tins. These have a delicate crumb so remove them carefully.
Don't worry if the bottoms look a little messy. Once they're coated in toffee sauce they'll look lovely.
Serve warm with Toffee Sauce drizzled over. Or you can place them in an oven proof dish and coat with the sauce.
What's with the giant muffin phenomenon? I have yet to figure out the appeal of muffins that are the size of softballs. I think of muffins as snack food, something to grab with an apple or to eat alongside a cup of tea. A muffin is not a meal.
If you need a muffin to be a breakfast substitute you'd be better of baking my blueberry wheat germ muffins.
But if you want a plain delicious muffin for a not-too-filling tasty snack, these ginger molasses muffins will do it.
This recipe was given to me by a friend years ago. And although they're called muffins, they're really somewhere in between that and a rich, dense piece of cake. They have a nice spicy kick too.
Don't be alarmed by the texture of the batter. It's very stiff but don't worry, your muffins will come out of the oven just fine. I have used blueberries instead of dates (as in the photos here) with delicious results.
But heed this warning: if you use frozen berries your batter will seize up completely, you'll half panic as you try to spoon it into the pans, and while they're baking you'll start to mix up another batch because you'll be convinced that they're headed for the compost. They'll be delicious though (some will just sink a bit in the middle).
In a medium bowl combine flour, ginger, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In another bowl cream butter and brown sugar.
Add egg and then molasses to butter mixture, mixing well after each addition.
Add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and mix gently.
Spoon into prepared muffin tins and bake at 350 F for about 20 minutes.

Marc Rebillet Announces Nationwide Drive-In Tour
Eva Raggio
| Coronavirus |
Eva Raggio | May 7, 2020 | 12:55pm
Marc Rebillet has moved on from Dallas to New York City, but he's just as prone as ever to perform shirtless.
Alan Westman
While the future of live music remains uncertain, and some sources predict there will be no large concerts until 2021, one Dallas musician found a way to continue touring around the lockdowns.
This Monday, famed electronic musician Marc Rebillet announced via Twitter that he'll be embarking on a national tour making stops in five cities, starting June 11. The venues are all drive-in theaters, which Rebillet says will help keep crowds at a safe distance, where they'll be able to dance in their seats and rock out in their own cars à la Wayne's World.
His management calls it the "first-ever proper US drive-in tour."
10 Local Acts Livestreaming Concerts This Week
Rebillet is known as "Loop Daddy," and his outlandish improvisational style earned him a massive following online. It's only fitting that the innovator, whose hits include "Work That Ass for Daddy," "Stop That Rape" and last month's "Essential Workers Anthem" would find a way around the pandemic.
In the announcement video, Rebillet said that the concerts would stick to strict guidelines.
"Social distancing observed, my team and I have been working super, super hard to put this together quickly and assure it happens safely and responsibly," he said. "We just would not be able to do this if we didn't adhere to a pretty strict and rigorous list of rules."
Those rules, as reported by CNN, include a safe distance between cars, while guests are expected to stay inside the cars with their windows rolled down only 2 inches as the music plays through an FM transmitter. Staff will be in masks and gloves, and tickets only sold online. Restrooms are only to be used in 15-minute intervals. The venues also requests that anyone with any exposure to COVID-19, or with a fever, should stay home.
"My team and I have been working super super hard to put this together quickly and assure it happens safely and responsibly."– Marc Rebillet
The tour will open in Charlotte, continuing through Kansas City, Tulsa and Forth Worth before ending in Houston on July 3.
Rebillet said he will roam around the venue and concertgoers will be able to see him through their windshields.
"It'll be me, out there, doing a show," he said. "Since everyone is going to be forced to be in their cars, I'll be able to do a lot of running around, 'interacting' with the audience, just by doing my thing."
The musician has always made lemons out of things like pandemics and layoffs. He became a full-time entertainer after getting fired at the end of 2017 from the call center where he worked. Rebillet received three months' severance pay, and he used that time to craft his new career.
"I'm driven by irrelevance — the fear that one day I'll be back working in a call center," he told the Observer in April of last year. "I wanted to finally make this thing happen, so I put myself into this free fall where I have to get a gig or I won't make rent."
Eva Raggio is the Dallas Observer's music and arts editor, a job she took after several years of writing about local culture and music for the paper. Eva supports the arts by rarely asking to be put on "the list" and always replies to emails, unless the word "pimp" makes up part of the artist's name.

I have compiled my application against jets3t version 0.6.1, which is included with the CDH Flume distribution, but it looks like this is overwritten by the CDH Hadoop distribution which includes jets3t version 0.9.0. Is there a workaround for this?
Would you be able to compile against the 0.9 version? The jets3t library seems to have changed incompatibly between the two.
Alternatively, why not use the newer S3A URIs instead? These have better/more-direct AMZN support.
not so easy to fix this, but I will try using s3a instead.


The structures of my life are really changing now. A part from a period I spent in hospital over nine years ago, my life have never been at the same place for more than two weeks.
My view of life is that there are too many experiences to experience in the short life a single human have, so I automatically find different things to do always, even when I am physically weak and need to rest like now that I have decided to do fasting again. My plan was to do it for twenty one days and see how well I feel before heading into a three months fast.
I just long for the endless energy I felt when I did a juice fast some years ago and the health benefits and changes I got from it. At the age of almost thirty eight, I still get people amazed at my age compared to my face and skin.
Even though the insights are coming in faster then before, the weakness, discomfort and cramps do stop me in my tracks, the vision of glowing healthy skin and energy will worth it all.
An acquaintance of mine thinks it's bizare and unnecessary for me to fast because I'm of slim built, this comment made me really look at the way different people view life. It takes very strong will and focus to achieve the best from life and it's not all of us that are willing to pay the price some things are worth and especially the big things like peace of mind.
I find it difficult to sit during the day when I have a headache or any form of lowness or tiredness because I find they only get worse instead, so going for a walk or attending to my plants will always change the pace for me and those are the times I get to see what's worrying me or my internal dissapointments, which is always something I didn't get to complete.
And there goes changing for me. Always something to experience in every day and there goes personal growth.

BTW just to mention, I did replace the cracked taillight lens.
I'm pretty sure it was built to stock specs as it does not mention any work done to the heads or compression raised. I own and have owned quite a few cars from this era, mostly Italian but I'm amazed on how quick this motor revs up, it's a pleasure to drive.
Original FI is in the car.
well according to him if he followed through and saved his membership he would have lost his wife. I guess I can't understand how you can put yourself in that situation and waste people time and money. I have to thank BAT for doing a great job.
No, as far as I know it's stock.
If anyone wants to do a personal inspection, I will be around the entire time of the auction.
The odometer works fervent. The car has not been driven much since.

Cloud provider Nirvanix and Luminex Software are partnering to get mainframe administrators to join the cloud bandwagon.
The two companies are offering a cloud-based Virtual Tape Library (VTL) service for mainframe environments. As part of the deal, Luminex will sell the Nirvanix cloud service with its CGX Channel Gateway X VTL system so that less accessed data can be archived to the cloud. The VTL system is integrated with Luminex's CloudSAFE replication software that currently is being re-coded to talk directly to object storage via Nirvanix's REST APIs.
The service will be generally available in the fourth quarter and beta is expected to start "very shortly," said Arthur Tolsma, Luminex's CEO. The system's replication software will use the TwinStrata CloudArray gateway to talk to object storage during beta testing, but the CloudSAFE software will be cloud-ready for general availablity.
Getting mainframe administrators to move to the cloud may be a tough sell, since they typically are risk averse. According to Luminex's data analysis, more than 90 percent of mainframe users still use physical tape for archiving. For this reason, Luminex may position the service for third-copy archiving, while second-copy data is replicated to a disk-based system for disaster recovery.
Tolsma claims his company is having some success getting mainframe users to go tapeless and move to disk. He attended the Share IBM mainframe user group in Anaheim, CA. this week and found some mainframe customers are amenable to using the cloud for secondary copies of data.
Steve Zivanic, Nirvanix's VP of marketing, said they chose Luminex as a partner because they have a large installed base of mainframe users. Nirvanix now focuses on the Microsoft, Unix, VMware markets.

Esthetic rehabilitation of anterior primary teeth using polyethylene fiber with two different approaches
M Jain, S Singla, BAK Bhushan, S Kumar, A Bhushan
October-December 2011, 29(4):327-332
An acceptable treatment approach for early childhood caries in the past may not necessarily be the best treatment option for our young patients today. Technological advances in dental materials and the approach to their use need to be considered, and the introduction of new adhesive systems, restorative materials, and the approach toward treating these teeth has yielded convincing results. Two such clinical case reports where polyethylene fibers were used as intra-canal posts and to splint the pontic fabricated with polyethylene fibers reinforced composite are reported.

Antibiotics: Use and misuse in pediatric dentistry
FC Peedikayil
Antibiotics are commonly used in dentistry for prophylactic as well as for therapeutic purposes. Most often antibiotics are used in unwarranted situations, which may give rise to resistant bacterial strains. Dentists want to make their patients well and to prevent unpleasant complications. These desires, coupled with the belief that many oral problems are infectious, stimulate the prescribing of antibiotics. Good knowledge about the indications of antibiotics is the need of the hour in prescribing antibiotics for dental conditions.

Prevalence of mesiodens among six- to seventeen-year-old school going children of Indore
V Khandelwal, AU Nayak, RB Naveen, N Ninawe, PA Nayak, SV Sai Prasad
Introduction: 'Mesiodens' are the supernumerary teeth present in the midline of the maxilla between the two central incisors. These mesiodens are the most common supernumerary teeth and are usually responsible for eruption disturbance or delay of the maxillary anterior permanent teeth. The present study seeks to investigate the prevalence of mesiodens among school going children in Indore City, India. Materials and Methods: The study was a retrospective collection of data to evaluate the prevalence of mesiodens among 3896 children, whose ages ranged between six and seventeen years. Results: The results showed that males were affected approximately 1.2 times as frequently as females; 3.18% of the total screened population had mesiodens and among the affected population 4.03% had two or more mesiodens. Most of the mesiodens were conical in shape. The age, sex distribution, number of mesiodens per patient, shape, and direction of the eruption are presented in this study. Conclusions: The present study gives an insight into the prevalence of mesiodens among school going children of Indore city. A coincidental finding in our study has been the high risk of trauma associated with the occurence of mesiodens. This finding makes it mandatory to include mesiodens as a risk factor in traumatic dental injuries. Early diagnosis and management of these otherwise considered mild factors must be made mandatory in pediatric dentistry.
Popliteal pterygium syndrome: Orofacial and general features
SK Bahetwar, RK Pandey, TS Bahetwar
This report describes the case of a 13-year-old Indian boy with popliteal pterygium syndrome. The popliteal pterygium syndrome is an extremely rare hereditary disorder thought to occur with an incidence of approximately 1 in 300000 live births. It is a congenital malformation syndrome affecting the face, limbs, and genitalia with highly characteristic features, including popliteal webbing, cleft palate (with or without cleft lip), lower lip pits, syndactyly, and genital and nail anomalies. This patient was referred to our department because of complaints of pain in the mouth and poor oral health. The orofacial findings included cleft lip, cleft palate, lower lip pits, a few missing teeth, and severely decayed teeth. In this syndrome, the orodental problems are overshadowed by the major syndromic manifestations but nevertheless need appropriate management. These patients have special dental needs and early diagnosis of the affected children is therefore important in order to initiate preventive dental care and carry out appropriate dental treatment at the optimal time.

Comparison of digital radiography and apex locator with the conventional method in root length determination of primary teeth
IE Neena, A Ananthraj, P Praveen, V Karthik, P Rani
Aim: The purpose of this study was to compare the Working length in primary teeth endodontics using intra oral digital radiovisiography and apex locator with conventional method for accuracy. Materials and Methods: This in vivo study was conducted on 30 primary teeth which were indicated for pulpectomy in the patients of the age group of 5-11 years All experimental teeth had adequate remaining tooth structure for rubber dam isolation and radiographicaly visible canals. Endodontic treatment was required due to irreversible pulpitis or pulp necrosis. A standardized intraoral periapical radiograph of the tooth was taken using conventional method by paralleling technique. The distance between the source and the tooth, tooth and the films were standardized using X-ray positioning device. During the pulpectomy procedure, the working length was determined by digital radiograph and apex locator. The measurements were then compared with the conventional method of root canal measurement technique for accuracy Result: From the results obtained we can conclude that Working length determined in primary molars using digital radiography and Apex locator did not show any significant difference in the mean working length measurements when compared with the conventional radiographic method. Conclusions: Apex locator is comparable to conventional radiograph in determining the working length without radiation in the primary teeth. Intraoral digital radiography is the safest method in determining the working length with significant reduction in radiation exposure.Hence, both the techniques can be safely used as alternatives to conventional radiographic methods in determining working length in primary teeth.

Cephalometric analysis of hard and soft tissues in a 12-year-old syndromic child: A case report and update on dentofacial features of Crouzon syndrome
K Nagaraju, E Ranadheer, P Suresh, SP Tarun
Crouzon syndrome or craniofacial dysostosis is a rare syndrome characterized by craniosynostosis, midfacial hypoplasia and exophthalmia. The abnormalities found in this syndrome change too much from case to case depending on the suture fusion order. We report a case of a 12 year old child and a mother showing variations in the dentofacial tissues clinically and radiographically. Subsequently, the application of digital software [Dolphin Imaging 11] enabled us to solve out the case as Crouzon syndrome by analyzing the skeletal and soft tissue alterations. An update of the effects of this syndrome on various systems and dentofacial features with emphasis on tooth abnormalities is documented.

An evaluation of nanocomposites as pit and fissure sealants in child patients
S Singh, RK Pandey
Background: Dental caries affects populations of all ages in all the regions of the world, with the child patient being at the highest risk. Fifty percent of the permanent molars are decayed by the age of 12, due to lack of information about protection and occlusal morphology. Pit and fissure sealing undoubtedly plays a fundamental role in preventing occlusal caries. The most common approach to assess the sealing ability of pit and fissure sealants of tooth/restoration is the measurement of dye penetration along the interface. Aims and Objectives: The present study aims to evaluate the microleakage and penetration depth of three different types of dental materials, namely (A) Conventional pit and fissure sealant, (B) Flowable composite, (C) Flowable nanocomposite. Study Design: This in-vitro comparative study comprised of extracted human posterior teeth mounted as blocks. Materials and Methods: In the present study, microleakage and penetration depths of conventional sealants/flowable composite and nanocomposite were measured with the help of a dye under stereomicroscope. Statistical Analysis: A student't' test and Analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests were performed to compare the mean microleakage and penetration depth. Results: Microleakage was found to be highest for the flowable composites, and least for the conventional sealant. The nanocomposite values were intermediate. Penetration depth was highest for nanocomposite and least for flowable composite. Conclusions: According to the results, the nanocomposite was found to be an excellent dental material for penetration in deep pits and fissures, though it exhibits mild microleakage. Hence, it can be recommended for use in pediatric dental patients, as a pit and fissure sealing agent.

Underweight in low socioeconomic status preschool children with severe early childhood caries
S Gaur, R Nayak
Background: The prevalence of severe early childhood caries (sECC) is high in developing nations like India. It has local as well as systemic manifestations. Aims: This study evaluated the influence of sECC and its management on growth parameters and quality of life (QoL) of preschool children from low socioeconomic status families. Materials and Methods: 100 preschool children (50 with sECC and 50 with no dental caries; mean age 5.42 ± 0.74 years) from low socioeconomic status were studied. QoL; Decayed, extracted and filled teeth (def) index; Height (Ht); Weight (Wt); Head circumference (HC); Mid arm circumference (MAC); and, Body Mass Index (BMI) were recorded at baseline and compared after six months of dental rehabilitation. The test group included children with sECC having def > 6 and at least one pulpally involved tooth.The control group children did not have DC (def =0). Both the groups were age, gender and socioeconomic status matched. Statistical Analysis: Statistical analysis was done using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) v.11.0 computer software. Chi-square test, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Fisher's exact and paired t tests were performed for comparing the groups at baseline and six month recall visit. Results: Baseline measurements showed that 46% of children with sECC had Wt below 3rd percentile (underweight; mean 15.49 ± 1.87Kg) which was less than the controls (mean Wt 16.34 ± 1.46kg). They also complained of pain (40%), avoidance of hard food (24%), noticed Wt loss (18%) and sleep disturbances (12%). After 6 months of dental rehabilitation, there was a significant improvement in their Wt (P= 0.002) and QoL. Conclusions: sECC negatively influenced the Wt and QoL of children. Awareness, education of parents and facilitation of oral health services may help in improving their Wt and QoL.
Regional odontodysplasia
DN Mehta, D Bailoor, B Patel
Regional odontodysplasia is an unusual developmental anomaly in which ectodermal and mesodermal tooth components are affected. We present a rare case of a developmental anomaly called regional odontodysplasia or 'ghost teeth' in a 12-year-old Indian girl. The anomaly affected right maxillary permanent teeth. The mandibular teeth were unaffected. The clinical, radiographic and histological features are reviewed. The management of affected patients is discussed.
Foreign body ingestion in dental practice
S Bhatnagar, UM Das, GD Chandan, ST Prashanth, L Gowda, N Shiggaon
Most foreign bodies pass through the gastrointestinal tract uneventfully. The majority of the reported literature describes the management of ingested blunt objects. However, ingestion of sharp objects can still occur with a higher rate of perforation corresponding to treatment dilemmas. We report a case of inadvertently ingested sharp foreign body by a special child, which was retrieved by endoscopic guided forceps. Urgent endoscopic assessment and retrieval of recently ingested sharp dental foreign body is indicated and routine use of preventive measures such as rubber dam, gauze throat screens or floss ligatures is suggested.
Differential expressions of bilaterally unerupted supernumerary teeth
S Masih, HS Sethi, N Singh, AM Thomas
This article presents a case of bilateral unerupted supernumerary teeth in the mandibular premolar region. Surgical removal of the right-sided supernumerary tooth had to be carried out as it was impeding the eruption of the mandibular first premolar. However, its supernumerary antimere, lay dormant.
Role of plaque in the clearance of salivary sucrose and its influence on salivary ph
A Kumar, R Hedge, U Dixit
Background: The prevalence of dental caries in children, in India, is higher than many of the industrialized countries. The sugar most commonly associated with dental caries is sucrose, as the microorganisms in the dental plaque have the ability to convert this dietary constituent into various organic acids. Aims and Objectives: This study was conducted to study the effect of the presence of plaque on the salivary clearance of sucrose and to study the effect of the presence of plaque on salivary pH, following sucrose clearance. Materials and Methods: Salivary sucrose determination was done by using the anthrone technique. A Digital MHOS pH meter estimated the salivary pH. Results: Presence of plaque increased the salivary sucrose clearance time and decreased the salivary pH at various time intervals. Conclusions: The microbial etiology of dental caries is the dynamic relationship among the dental plaque microbiota, dietary carbohydrates, saliva and pH lowering, and the cariogenic potential of the dental plaque. Caries occur preferentially in the dentition sites characterized by high exposure to carbohydrate and diminished salivary effect.

After almost 9 long years of awaiting a proper charge-sheet, Sadhvi Pragya, one of the main accused of 2008 Malegaon blasts case, has been granted bail by Mumbai HC. The bail has been granted at a surety of Rs. 5 lakhs and her passport has to be deposited with the NIA court. The other primary accused, Colonel Purohit has however not been granted bail today. Going by the news report, the division bench headed by Justice Ranjit More granted the bail, as NIA had earlier discharged her of all charges and did not oppose her bail too.
In an earlier news, an intervention plea was also filed by a Malegaon blasts victim named Nisar Ahmed Bilal opposing the bail plea of Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur. It may be noted that her family has alleged previously that she had been severely tortured during the initial years of custody because of which her spine is injured, and she also developed cancer in the custody.
