Sacred Ground is the sequel to the adventure game Santa Fe Mysteries: The Elk Moon Murder and quite similar in gameplay. The player has five days (eight hours each) to solve a case.

Randa Tasker, the wife of a local business man, has been kidnapped. With the help of a PDA and your assistant detective John Night Sky, you have to find clues and interview suspects and witnesses. Since there is not enough time to interrogate them all, choices must be made.

The game's interface is point-and-click. The locations you visit are photograph stills and the game is interspersed with Full Motion Video (FMV) movies. The main screen shows a calendar which shows the number of days you have left, a sun dial showing the number of hours left today and an icon for your PDA. Within the PDA there are icons for e-mail, suspects and evidence.

How to run this game on modern Windows PC?

This game has been set up to work on modern Windows (10/8/7/Vista/XP 64/32-bit) computers without problems.

ToCA Race Driver 2: The Ultimate Racing Simulator is the follow-up to Codemasters' original Pro Race Driver. Like the first game, this sequel features a series of racing challenges strung together using a reality TV-styled storyline. A total of 31 licensed and fictional race locations offer 52 tracks for more than 15 different racing styles, such as GT sports car racing, Street Racing, Rally, and Rally Cross.

The game's new "Terminal Damage Engine" was developed to accurately reflect various types of damage in both the appearance and performance of the player's car. Damage sustained by cars in the game is based on actual observations made while viewing real-life racing accidents. Each virtual car was developed with thousands of deformation points, allowing for realistic collision consequences that could prove to be educational, if not gut-wrenching. Sound effects were created with similar devotion to detail -- if the player drops a transmission or throws a rod, the sound will be unmistakable.

Race Driver 2's single-player mode features competition against 11 other racers for a shot to be part of the Grand Prix Team. Online multiplayer races support up to 16 players. There are 35 different cars available to race (or destroy), including beauties such as the Astin Martin Vanquish, Jaguar XKR, AMG Mercedes CLK, and Ford GT.

Codemasters bills TOCA Race Driver 2 as the "Ultimate Racing Simulator." If that sounds a little familiar, you may be remembering Gran Turismo, the PlayStation classic that set new standards for racing games as "The Real Driving Simulator." Fortunately, for PC race fans, the similarity in marketing blurbs isn't the only thing these two games have in common. Like the beloved PSX title, TOCA Race Driver 2 doesn't take the "simulator" part too seriously; instead, it strikes a near-perfect balance between painstaking realism and flat-out fun.

And, if this isn't the ultimate racing simulator, it certainly has the widest range. TOCA Race Driver 2 offers an amazing variety of racing types: 15 different kinds of rides, including stock cars, rally cars, formula cars, hot rods -- even pickups and semi trucks. No driver in the real world could ever dream of having a career this diverse, but the game's career mode gives you exactly that, in 31 championships -- real and fictional -- on 48 tracks.

TOCA Race Driver 2's career mode is similar to that of its predecessor, Pro Race Driver. You take the role of a hungry young driver with eight seasons to make your mark, find an agent, and gather sponsors. This time around, the animation and acting is better (and the cutscenes are rendered in first person, so you're not left out in the cold if you find it hard to imagine yourself as a Gen-Xer with a boy-band haircut).

The graphics are generally excellent, with great detail in the cars and tracks, and long viewing distances. Sound is very good, too, from the roar of a sports car to the scream of an open-wheel racer, right down to the hiss of turbochargers and the thunk of the shifter. Of course, the most important factor in any racing game is control, and TOCA Race Driver 2's control is very responsive (and deeply adjustable).

There aren't as many licensed vehicles as you'd find in a Gran Turismo game, but the 35 cars offered are pretty choice: The new Ford GT, a 1968 Mustang, new and old Jaguars and Aston Martins, the ubiquitous Nissan Skyline, and cars from Land Rover, Mitsubishi, Subaru, and others.

There's a lot to love here. The only significant problem you might encounter comes from the sheer variety of race types, which can actually be a little jarring in career mode. As you begin your career, you run just a couple of races in a classic Mustang, then suddenly have to make the switch to a Formula Ford; later, you may go straight from a Nissan Skyline GTR to a choice between a Ford 150 pickup or a Ford 9000 semi truck. It's a testament to the game's depth and detail that the different race styles and vehicle types can put very different demands on your driving skills -- but it also means that just as you're getting used to one type of racing, you'll find yourself having to learn a whole new type.

That potential problem is relieved quite a bit by the game's simulator mode, which lets you set up any race (or series) in any of the race types you've unlocked in career mode. That means you can prepare for the next stage in your career by "simulating" the championship you're about to enter until you're reasonably sure you can finish in the money. And, since you can restart a championship from any point in the series, you can even take a break from your career and work on a single race that's giving you headaches.

And you don't always need to take first in every race. Aside from the jumps between wildly different race types, TOCA Race Driver 2 has a pretty friendly difficulty curve. Early races in career mode are not very tough, and your goals are pretty reasonable: get at least third place in this two-race championship, finish this season with at least $100,000, etc. Between that and simulator mode, it's hard to hit a wall in this game (except the ones on the track, of course).

The "simulator" is also where you access the game's other modes, like multiplayer and time trials. Multiplayer offers split-screen for two players or as many as 12 players via LAN or Internet. It's easy to set up a race and adjust all sorts of parameters (damage on or off, vehicle setups on or off, collision settings, etc.). There's even a rating system that lets you put lower-ranked racers closer to the pole position if you choose. Performance in multiplayer is good, although choosing a smaller number of players seems to make for a smoother experience.

TOCA Race Driver 2 is very much the solid, satisfying racing experience any racing fan could want. The wide array of race types is the tasty icing on this cake, giving the game a lot of replay value even after your racing career is over.

Gerrard Enjoying Being Back In The Team

24 November 2017

Oldham Athletic defender Anthony Gerrard is enjoying his return to the starting 11 after performances that ‘weren’t good enough’ by his own standards.

The 31-year-old’s first league start since the defeat at Rotherham United in September came against local rivals Rochdale on Saturday when Latics won 3-1.

The experienced centre back also helped his side to keep their second clean sheet in the league so far this season on Tuesday night when they were held 0-0 by AFC Wimbledon.

On his return to the side, Gerrard said: “It’s been nice to be honest, I’ve enjoyed being back and playing with the lads.

“It’s been strange going from calling him ‘Richie’ to ‘Gaffer’ but I think once the appointment was made that boundary had to be set.

“I think for me not playing was a long time coming, I hadn’t been good enough for the previous manager so that was a bit of a rocket that I needed to get myself in gear.

“I’ve been training well, I’ve been training hard and every opportunity I’ve had, I have taken: Crewe, Newcastle, Rochdale at the weekend and also AFC Wimbledon.

“I thought we were unfortunate to concede against Rochdale, I think that’s the first time in a number of games we’ve conceded a silly goal really so I’d class that as a clean sheet even though we conceded I don’t think they cut us open, it was down to an individual error.

“We’re all working for each other, everyone knows their role and if certain players step out of position we know when to cover.

“I think the way we are playing also helps us, it takes a lot of pressure off the defenders the way we are keeping the ball and retaining possession.

“It’s going really good at the minute, I think there’s a lot more improvement to come from us and hopefully we can push and show what we’re capable of in the latter part of the season.

“Hopefully this weekend we can pick the points up and keep on this little bit of momentum that we’ve got going, we’ve had a few stumbling blocks but the momentum is still there and we’re picking up points.”

Oldham Athletic take on Gillingham at Priestfield Stadium on Saturday, November 25, 3:00pm kick off.

    Disease Definition: A small posterior prolapse may cause no signs or symptoms. Disease Symptoms: Anterior Vaginal Wall Prolapse (Cystocele or Urethrocele) Anterior vaginal wall prolapse often occurs at the top of the vagina where the uterus used to be in women who have had a hysterectomy. Posterior Wall Prolapse (Rectocele or Enterocele). Apical Prolapse (Vaginal Vault Prolapse) or Uterine Prolapse. Rectal Prolapse. Disease Treatment: Childbirth and other processes that put pressure on the fascia can lead to posterior prolapse. A small prolapse may cause no signs or symptoms. If a posterior prolapse is large, it may create a noticeable bulge of tissue through the vaginal opening. Though this bulge may be uncomfortable, it's rarely painful.

  • Posterior prolapse

    statistics:"During the operation, the surgeon will make cuts and place stitches very close to the bowel. Rarely, the surgeon may make a hole in it by accident. Usually this can be repaired straight way and the operation finished as normal. However, it may affect your recovery and your surgeon will want to explain what has happened when they see you on the ward the next day."

Games and Software

There are more than 200 casino games available at Hey Spin Casino. We were disappointed by the selection considering that the casino has an agreement with some of the biggest software providers in the industry. Even though the selection is small; however, you can find plenty of game categories, themes and features to choose from. You can be sure that there is something to suit the preferences and bankrolls of all players. The games are powered by Microgaming, NetEnt, Amaya, Neogames, Ezugi, and Quickspin. Some of their most popular game titles include:

  • Starburst
  • Thunderstruck II
  • Fruity Friends
  • Hugo Goal
  • Jungle Jim El Dorado
  • Dragonz
  • Bust the Bank
  • Irish Eyes
  • Emoticoins

Branded slots games are a popular category of slots. These are usually a subcategory of the video slots games. They play in the same way as video slots and include impressive features; however, they are unique in their themes. These games are based on popular films and include graphics, animations and soundtracks from the films. Some of the branded games at Hey Spin include Moby Dick, ted and Game of Thrones. There are classic slots games for those who enjoy a simple slots experience where you can watch the reels spinning without the distraction of bonus features. Some of the classic slots available at Hey Spin include Jackpot Jester 50,000, Xmas Joker, Mystery Joker, Break da Bank, and Fire Joker. The casino is sorely lacking in the category of progressive slots.

Despite the name, the casino does not limit itself to slots games, although that is definitely its focus. For fans of table games, there are choices, but not many. You’ll find the favourites of blackjack and roulette with some three card solitaire thrown in, but that’s about it. There are a few video poker variations, but these are limited in number as well. There is a large suite of scratch card games which is a welcome addition for players who enjoy these. There is also a live casino where you can enjoy the excitement of joining real-life games while playing online.

The games are divided into categories to help you find what you’re looking for. The game categories include Video Slots, Classic, Casino Games, Scratch Cards, and Live Casino. You can also divide them into Featured Games and New Games. There is also a search bar where you can search for specific game titles.

Live Casino

Hey Spin Casino has a Live Casino category where you can enjoy a real-life casino experience right from the comfort of your home or on the go via your mobile. Streamed live, in real-time from a brick and mortar gaming studio, you can join real tables, compete against other players and chat with the dealers. Watch them as they shuffle and deal the cards and spin the wheels right in front of you. Pick from your favourite table games, including blackjack, roulette and baccarat or choose a more unusual game to play such as Dream Catcher or Immersive Roulette. The games are powered by Evolution Gaming, a top provider of live casino games.

User Interface

Hey Spin Casino is simple and quick to navigate around. The lobby is quite busy, but it’s busy with games so you can easily find what you’re looking for. There are multiple game tabs along the top of the screen to help you find a specific game type and if you know exactly which game you want to play, you can use the search bar. The site is well set out with a bright and fun, but attractive blue colour scheme.

Mobile Casino

Hey Spin Casino features a mobile platform that is available for Android and iOS devices. The games have been optimised for play on tablet or smartphone devices and render well on any size screen. You can enjoy any of your favourite games on the go via the mobile platform. You will have a complete gaming experience with access to the same bonuses and promotions as the desktop players enjoy, full access to customer support and the ability to make deposits and withdrawals. You can now take Hey Spin Casino with you wherever you go.

Hey Spin Casino falls down in the area of gamification. Unfortunately, they follow a more old-school approach and their only gamification feature is the VIP programme that they run. This is a comprehensive programme with multiple levels that you can climb as you collect more points. All players can be a part of this programme. The points are collected every time you play for real money and they can also be accumulated and converted into bonus cash.

New players can claim a worthwhile welcome bonus when they make their first deposit into their new casino account. This bonus will give you an impressive boost to your bankroll so you can keep on playing for longer. Unfortunately, there are limited ongoing promotions outside of the VIP programme. Keep an eye on the promotions page of the casino for any new promotions or seasonal offers.

There is also a VIP programme that is specially designed to reward loyal players at the casino. You can begin by earning reward points every time you play for real money. These points can be accumulated and then converted into cash bonuses. The more you collect, the higher you’ll climb on the loyalty ladder. There are seven levels – New Member, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Premium, and Prestige – and the rewards are bigger and better the higher you move in the programme. You can expect benefits such as a faster reward points redemption rate, faster cash out, special bonuses, regular bonus games, VIP-only tournaments, higher deposit and withdrawal limits, personalised offers, a personal account manager, monthly cash back, and more.

There are plenty of banking options that are available at Hey Spin Casino. These are all convenient and secure methods. They include VISA, Mastercard, Maestro, Sofort, EntroPay, Skrill, NETeller, Trustly, Paysafecard, wire transfer, and fast bank transfer. All deposits will be transferred into your account instantly, except for wire transfer which can take up to 6 business days.

Whenever possible, you must use the same method to make your withdrawal as you used to make the deposit. Withdrawals are processed within 48 hours, during which time they can be cancelled. After this, the time it takes for the money to arrive in your account will depend on the payment method you choose, with e-wallets taking as little as 3 days, while credit cards, wire transfer, and Entropay can take 6-8 days.

Customer Support
  • Live Chat: Yes
  • Email: care@heyspin.com
  • Telephone: 02033189367
  • FAQ: Yes
  • Availability: 06:00 – 23:00 GMT

Hey Spin Casino is committed to C.A.R.E. which stands for Customers Are Really Everything. They are available via email, telephone and live chat; however, they are not available 24/7 which was disappointing to discover.

Our Verdict

Hey Spin Casino is a lively and fun online casino. While its focus is slots games, it does offer a few other game types, including live casino games and scratch cards. The games are powered by some of the biggest names in the industry and we would have expected to have found more than the 200 titles that are available. There is a worthwhile welcome bonus and a comprehensive VIP programme, but not many other types of offers. Banking is secure and convenient with a long list of payment options and customer support is available via multiple channels, including live chat. Unfortunately, it is not available 24/7. There is a complete mobile platform so if you enjoy playing on the go, you can pop the casino into your pocket and take it with you.

Hot chocolate and wooden scoops

March 15, 2015

Hot chocolate with whipped cream is perfect for Sunday mornings.

I woke up quite early today to work out and study and by now I have already finished almost everything I had on my list for this morning. Feels great to have the whole day in front of you and it is turning out to be an amazing sunny one as well!

Before I go,I wanted to share a little tip for coffee tea and chocolate lovers. The little wooden scoops (as seen above) cost next to nothing at Søstrene Grene and they come in various sizes.They are perfect for scooping out sugar, tea, coffee or even sea salt. I only got one to try it out and I will definitely be getting more next time I am at the store! I love wooden details in the kitchen as well, so filling out glass containers with these scoops will look great.

The spring season often motivates homeowners to clean, reorganize and even embark on bold home projects. Whether you decide to knock down a wall to expand the size of your kitchen, or simply change up your wall paint colors, home projects are long tasks that require your full attention. One should not speed through the process; if so, you will inevitably make mistakes.

Luckily, there are plenty of tutorials and advice tips on how to successfully paint a room without creating a catastrophe. When painting a wall, you don't want to accidentally paint the ceiling, you don't want to create streaks and you don't want to drip paint onto the floor. Pay careful attention to these simple, easy-to-learn instructions, and you'll soon become a painting master.

Prep The Room

Like with any task, it's important to get organized before you get to work painting a wall. First, you want to move all the furniture out of the room so no paint will get on anything and ruin it. If you have large furniture, you can pile the furnishings in the center of the room and cover them with cloths or sheets to protect them.

Obviously, remove any paintings, tapestries or photos you have hanging on your walls. In addition to this, remove all outlet covers. You can choose to leave them their original color or you can paint them the new color of your wall. But even if you choose to paint the covers, it's still important to remove them so you don't get paint splattered onto the outlet plugs.

To keep paint from getting onto your wood trims and windows, place blue 1/2-inch painter's tape around the edges to protect them from splatter. To minimize your chances of spilling paint on your carpet or hardwood floors, cover the floors with a canvas drop cloth. Not only does this specific type of cloth cover easily, but it also doesn't need to be taped, which allows you more tape to place around wood trims and windows.

Determine The Cost

So many homeowners ask this question at the beginning of the painting process: How much will this cost? Is it worth the time and effort? If you want to transform your room, then yes, it's worth it. But let's break it down for you on just how much money you can expect to spend on your upcoming painting project.

The cost to paint an average size room (10x12) ranges from $200 to $300. Paint brands vary in price, with the highest end costing between $30-$60 per gallon. Different finishes of paint, such as flat, semi-gloss and high-gloss, also vary in price.

If your wall previously had a color that will be difficult to paint, you need primer to help your new paint color stand out from the previous color. A can of primer can cost anywhere from $7-$15 per can.

Finally, painting projects need rollers and brushes, which also vary in price range according to size and brand.

Start Painting

Before you begin, use a paint stick to thoroughly mix your paint to prevent the pigments from settling. To prevent paint from dripping each time you dip your brush into the paint, pour some paint into a paint tray.

Here's the first important step: Don't overload your roller with paint. Instead, dip your roller halfway into your paint tray, then roll it back onto the tray's angled platform to remove any excess paint that would immediately drip onto your floor.

Start painting at one corner of the room and apply paint vertically to the wall. To be the most effective, overlap the paint in a vertical "W" pattern with light pressure to prevent splattering. Go back over the area to even out the paint and continue painting in a vertical "W" pattern until you cover the entire wall.

If your paint looks thin or appears lighter than the color you chose, apply a second coat. This second coat helps provide a more finished look to the wall and will more accurately match the color you purchased.

After you finish painting, you may notice drips on the walls. To get these out, use alcohol wipes to soften the latex paint. To clean up any paint that may have dripped onto the trim, use a metal putty knife pointed at a downward angle after you remove your tape. Clean any residue with denatured alcohol, gently rubbing the wood until it's restored to its original state.

Cleaning Up

To clean up your work supplies, wash your brushes, rollers and paint tray with water and soap or dishwater detergent, preferably in a space outside to avoid making a mess or staining somewhere in your home. Wrap your brushes in plastic wrap and place them in their original packaging to keep the bristles straight until your next painting project.

A Quicky

Real quick charts and comments on where we are, where we were, and where we are headed.

Just like last week, we started out with weakness.  Yesterday I was expecting a repeat of last Tuesday, instead we fell off a cliff late in the session.  Stocks continued to fall this morning.  In the chat room I spoke on audio right near session lows about the resiliency of this market.  How I would not be shocked to see the $SPY over $200 before the week ends.

Sure enough, stocks rallied and closed right near session highs.  Just a lucky guess.  Who would have thought that the dip would get bought.  I guess you could say its been too easy, but all I see across the investment world is how stocks have topped, traders shorting and averaging up on their shorts, how higher interest rates are around the corner, how growth is slow, how no one has a job.... yet stocks sit near record levels.

My concerns short term lie with the current S&P 500 futures chart.  We need to break current resistance tomorrow, or we could be looking at a test of this mornings lows in short order, and ultimately a break to lower prices.  Yeah, I'm a realist.  I'm not going to slam my head against a wall fighting a market, I do after all trade with real money.  I can't afford to be wrong everyday.

Yet looking from a different vantage point, I see a market consolidating for a move to fresh record levels.  Not many are calling for that type of move here, and that's why I think it is the more likely scenario.

In a world where central banks remain actively aiding in the inflation of asset prices, there remains no better place to be than stocks.  While asset prices rise, inflation remains unusually calm.  This bodes well for continued central bank support.

It might look like a top to some, and it can be tough buying stocks at record levels, but the trend still remains to the upside, and fighting it has been futile.

Let's see what tomorrow brings.  Have a good night.

I will be starting the ditto trade follow account as soon as tomorrow.

Timing of gingival grafts relative to implant placement?

What are your thoughts on when is the best time for gingival grafting when attached gingiva is needed ? Before, during or after implant placement? What’s the longest I can wait after the implant surgery? I would be referring to a periodontist. I have one patient who is edentulous and I am planning on placing 4 implants in the mandible. I have another patient on whom I replaced a missing lower 1st molar with an implant 2 weeks ago. Thank you in advance.

16 thoughts on: Timing of gingival grafts relative to implant placement?

  1. Peter Hunt says:

    It’s great that you are giving this matter consideration in your initial treatment planning for this case. Without the specific details it is hard to recommend one particular approach. However generally we find it best, simplest and easiest to incorporate this into the surgical procedure for implant placement. One of the simpler and most effective ways to do this is with a single stage implant procedure with placing a trans-gingival healing cap. We place Mucograft membrane under the flap and Bio-Oss Collagen around the gingivaformer before closure. This bulks up the region and has the effect of thickening and extending the zone of attached gingiva. Give it a try!

  2. Dennis Flanagan DDS MSc says:

    The best time for gingival augmentation is before implants are placed but there are good results if done during or very soon after implant placement.

    • Raul mena says:

      Dennis, we are in total agreement, in my book definetly before the implant.
      Question to the dr that is asking the question ? If you are capable of placing implants, why do you refer the gingival graft?

  3. Dr. Gerald Rudick says:

    As always, good suggestions from experienced collegues…….patients’ generally prefer to have fewer surgical appointments….however, a graft can always be done after the implant(s) has been placed, and osseointegration has been achieved….and in this case you can see where you think there is a deficiency in the gingival tissues, and take your clues from there….so there is really no hard and fast rule.

  4. Carlos Boudet, DDS says:

    Gingival grafting for keratinized tissue is easier when it is done prior to implant placement. Grafting at the time of implant placement can reduce the number of surgeries needed. Grafting after implant placement is done when it was needed but you didn’t include it in your treatment plan at the begining.

  5. J Watters, DDS says:

    I would always try to graft before or during the implant surgery rather than after the implant is placed and restored. It can be a more difficult situation grafting onto a mucosal margin adjacent to an implant once it’s placed. Often, during implant surgery your flap design can be made in such a way to incorporate more soft tissue— if you apically position the flap on the facial you can insert a free gingival graft of some type. Or if it’s a situation where you only need a few millimeters of keratinized tissue, you can use rotational flap designs or curved incisions to push gingiva toward the facial aspect during the implant procedure. I have grafted at second stage as well at implant uncovering to tuck connective tissue under and around a healing abutment.
    In the case of more demanding aesthetics— I would be sure you have plenty of keratinized gingiva prior to the placement of the implant . Good luck!

  6. kent says:

    1. graft at time of implant placement. The implant site may produce enough tissue to augment with
    2. Graft again at time of uncovering. Once again the surgical site may have enough tissue to graft.

    3 Either way , no additional surgery and you can use any graft materials in # 1 or #2

  7. George says:

    Thank you all for the responses. I would have addressed the tissue prior to implant placement if they were in esthetic zones. In the case of the 1st molar, Im just trying to think ahead for the future. I had about 3 mm to work with and wondered what Id need to do if I lost some or all of that. I definitely wouldnt wait till restoration. Ive never performed this procedure so Id like to watch my periodontist perform it before doing my first.

  8. Dr. Robert Wolanski says:

    I think all of the comments are well thought out. I think the answer I would give is it depends on how much experience and confidence you have in placing implants and doing grafts. I would say doing the graft first minimizes the chance of potential complications and what I would recommend to someone early in their learning curve. Grafting at the time of surgery is certainly more convenient especially for the patient but there is greater risk of things going wrong and your final outcome being less predictable. I would certainly recommend sitting with an experienced clinical doing simultaneous grafting and implant placement because the general conversation during the procedure will reveal many things to you. Same thing goes for grafting after implant placement
    All the best

    • George Sinnis

      “I would certainly recommend sitting with an experienced clinical doing simultaneous grafting and implant placement because the general conversation during the procedure will reveal many things to you.”

      Thats how I like to operate . thank you for the reply

  9. Greg Kammeyer, DDS, MS, DABOI says:

    Although I don’t do free gingival grafts at implant placement, it seems like another way to decrease the blood supply to the flap, that is unless you are doing a mini-flap.

    I prefer to time the graft 2 months after implant placement so when the implant is fully integrated the patient doesn’t have to wait any longer than need be for the final restoration.

  10. Dr A says:

    As a periodontist, I prefer to graft before or at time of implant. It’s a bear to graft an edentulous arch with no keratinized gingiva after implants are in IMO. Also what is the anticipated restoration for the edentulous case. If the restoration has any tissue contact you could have a pressure related necrosis after a new graft is placed. Lastly, what does your periodontist prefer. Are you setting them up for success or failure by waiting on the grafts?

    • George Sinnis

      good to hear from a periodontist. Im meeting with him next week to discuss the man removable implant overdenture case. That case is still in the treatment planning phase.

      • Dr A says:

        If it’s an overdenture, is pt wearing it now and you are retrofitting or making new appliance? Either way, I think I would graft in advance and plan a reline on day of graft . Curious to hear what your periodontist says.

Jeff Sessions and Marijuana Stocks

Stick it to the Feds

Written by Jimmy Mengel
Posted August 31, 2017 at 3:38PM

As a marijuana investor, one of the main questions I'm asked is “What if the Feds shut it all down?”

My answer?

They wouldn't dare.

It’s true, cannabis is still a schedule 1 drug. That means it's on the same level as LSD and cocaine — drugs that have been labeled as having no medical use. In theory, the Feds have the right to come in and shut down marijuana operations in places like Colorado, where recreational marijuana is completely legal.

I don’t blame investors for being skeptical, especially with an anti-drug warrior like Jeff Sessions in control of our Department of Justice.

Sessions has long been an opponent of any type of marijuana use. He’s been quite clear about it…

"We need grown-ups in charge in Washington to say marijuana is not the kind of thing that ought to be legalized, it ought not to be minimized, that it's in fact a very real danger," he said.

He’s also gone as far as saying that “good people don’t smoke marijuana.”

Sessions even sent stern letters to Oregon, Alaska, Washington, and Colorado ― the first four states to legalize recreational marijuana ― challenging the states’ oversight of the industry. They responded by citing the Cole Memo, which is supposed to protect them from federal intervention. Currently, the Cole Memo — passed by then Attorney General James Cole in 2013 — is basically the only legal document currently standing in the way of a runaway Justice Department. It essentially states that the Federal Government will not spend its resources cracking down on marijuana businesses that are operating legally under state law.

But in his letter, Sessions made a veiled threat that the memo could not stop him from a crackdown:

“I would note the concluding paragraph: "nothing herein [in the Cole Memorandum] precludes investigation or prosecution, even in the absence of any one of the factors listed above, in particular circumstances where investigation and prosecution otherwise serves an important federal interest." Thus, the memorandum "does not alter in any way the Department's authority to enforce federal law, including federal laws relating to marijuana, regardless of state law."

But the states aren’t having it… and neither is the public.

Colorado’s Governor John Hickenlooper — who himself was an opponent of the ballot measures to legalize recreational marijuana — responded politely, yet forcefully.

“We believe the objectives underlying our regulatory and enforcement system are aligned with the federal government’s desire to control the production and sale of marijuana and to protect public safety and public health. We are committed to working with you to strengthen our system and are prepared to continue engaging in collaborative enforcement efforts.”

He goes on to explain exactly how Colorado has taken on the Fed’s concerns over safety and public health in his letter, which you can read in its entirety here.

But for all the bluster, there are plenty of reasons not to worry…

According to Hickenlooper, Sessions himself revealed that he wasn’t intending on doing anything of the sort.

When Hickenlooper met privately with Sessions, he came out of the meeting pretty upbeat.

"He has higher priorities," Hickenlooper told Politico.

"Marijuana's not the same threat to this country as heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine — and he recognizes he has limited resources. He said, 'Listen, we're not going to come in and shut everything down.' We have not seen any crackdown. He really said he didn't plan on having a crackdown."

I don’t see a crackdown coming either. Most of the reasons Sessions has given for pulling back legalization efforts — driving under the influence, kids getting access to marijuana, emergency room visits — simply aren’t happening.

"We worried about that, we worried about infants getting into it, we worried about driving while high. None of that's happened. We had a little increase among teenagers right in the first year. Since then, it's come down,” Hickenlooper noted.

Even police officers disagree with the Fed’s top cop — a Pew Research Center survey of nearly 8,000 police officers found that over two-thirds of them say that marijuana use should be legal for either personal or medical use.

Another reason a crackdown won’t happen is that marijuana is far too hot of an industry to dump water on right now…

For one, there is simply too much money at stake.

According to ArcView Research, “Legal cannabis sales in the United States jumped 17%, to $5.4 billion, in 2015 and are expected to grow by 25% this year, to $6.7 billion.”

The market for recreational marijuana could explode to $21 billion by 2020, according to New Frontier Data. That’s a massive increase from the $5.7 billion last year and the projected $7.9 billion this year.

Two, the industry is bringing in much needed tax dollars. In Colorado alone, legal marijuana sales reached $996 million last year, bringing in $163 million in tax dollars. That makes it the second largest revenue source — three times larger than alcohol, and 14% larger than casinos. According to the Marijuana Policy Group, marijuana tax revenues will overtake cigarettes by 2020.

Some state analysts estimate local governments in California could rake in $1 billion in revenue from the production and legal sale of marijuana.

Three, there are too many good American jobs at risk if Sessions were to start closing up shops. The industry created more than 18,000 new full-time jobs in Colorado alone. That isn't just entrepreneurs starting pot shops, but those who provide lighting equipment, rent warehouse space, and hold retail positions. Other jobs include providing security, legal representation, and accounting services.

Nationwide, the industry provides over 150,000 jobs. If other states follow along we could see 300,000 new jobs in the next few years.

I’ve personally never been more bullish on the marijuana industry, and I’m now confidently placing my bets in companies operating in the United States.

Arizona, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, and Wyoming all have measures going forward to legalize marijuana this year.

Each time one of those states “light up”, it will mean millions of dollars for brave investors willing to take a stand against any government intervention in a safe, legal industry.

I put together an entire presentation the shows you exactly which states offer the safest and most lucrative ways to invest in what will be the biggest new industry the U.S. has seen since the tech boom. You can view it right here.

Don’t let the Feds scare you away from what could be the single greatest investment you’ll ever see.

The states, law enforcement, and the people themselves won’t stand for it.

Gigabyte XM300 Gaming Mouse Review

Introduction and Technical Specifications

Gigabyte XM300 Gaming Mouse Review

Such is the consistency of the modern gaming mouse that it makes perfect sense for every manufacturer to produce a model of their own. Whereas once upon a time it was down to specialist manufacturers to produce gaming mice worthy of the name, the ubiquity of the Pixart and Avago sensors matched up to Omron switches is such that you just need to change the logo and you have a product guaranteed to be successful.

Enter Gigabyte with the XM300.

There have been many peripherals from Gigabyte over the years. Like many large companies that have such a wide range of products some have been good, some less so, but they've all come with the reassurance that any big companies products have, namely the company will always be around.

With full RGB lighting, a Pixart sensor and a right-handed design, how does the XM300 fare in such a crowded marketplace?

Technical Specifications

The XM300 comes equipped with the Pixart 3988 sensor. One which supports up to 6400DPI along with enough accelerative performance to guarantee you wont move the XM300 so fast it can't keep up. With microfine, 50DPI at a time, control you can be sure that there will be a setting to match your comfort level. Additionally with a weight that barely tips past the 100g mark, and buttons which support twenty million clicks, the Gigabyte XM300 will stop you getting fatigued and last an awfully long time indeed.

The guys at give their predictions for Sunday afternoon's showdown between the Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys. USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin

GREEN BAY – Ha Ha Clinton-Dix’s long streak of consecutive snaps finally ended last week, but not without “a little bit” of protest.

No, the Green Bay Packers safety didn’t want to come off the field late in a blowout win against the Chicago Bears. Clinton-Dix had played 2,033 consecutive snaps, a streak that included every snap of the 2016 season and all but three in 2015. He has been the most consistently available player on the Packers' roster since being selected in the first round of the 2014 draft.

“He’s the same way in practice,” safeties coach Darren Perry said. “You try to give him a break, and he’ll wave the guys off. We kind of let him and Morgan (Burnett) go with their own discretion. Morgan’s a little more disciplined in that regard. Ha Ha is a little more resistant to sit, he likes to play, prideful guy.

“But I think he knows it’s a long season.”

Clinton-Dix had not left the field during a game since Week 10 of the 2015 season, a mid-November home game against the Detroit Lions. He missed only three plays while being evaluated for a concussion until he returned to the field. His streak lasted until the final eight plays of last week’s game against the Bears.

Perry said he didn’t mention anything about the streak while pulling Clinton-Dix back to the sideline.

“He’s older now,” Perry said. “I think he realizes there’s a bigger picture out there and so forth. The more we can get some of these other guys, get them some experience, it’s going to help us down the line.”

While keeping Clinton-Dix fresh is emphasized, the Packers also see added benefit in further developing their young depth at safety. Kentrell Brice and Marwin Evans, both in their second year, along with rookie Josh Jones are talented enough to play more snaps if they weren’t behind Clinton-Dix and Burnett.

If injuries should happen during the course of the season, Perry said he wants his young safeties to be ready.

“You think about last year,” Perry said, “we played with KB and Marwin in the championship and in the playoff game. You just never know how things are going to change.

“The more experience you can get, obviously there’s a trust factor that comes with that. It can only help.”

Fine time: Clinton-Dix was fined $24,309 for hitting Bears receiver Josh Bellamy’s head in last week’s game, a play that also drew a 15-yard penalty for unnecessary roughness.

There was no further fine for Bears linebacker Danny Trevathan, who will lose a full game check when serving his one-game suspension for his vicious helmet-to-helmet hit on Packers receivers Davante Adams. With a $2 million base salary this season, Trevathan will lose $117,647 with his suspension.

On the mend: The Packers won't get any sympathy regarding injuries from the Dallas Cowboys, who also are looking at possibly having to play without some key performers Sunday.

Chief among them is linebacker Sean Lee, who is battling a hamstring injury. Lee has not participated in practice this week and was listed as questionable Friday.

Dallas also is uncertain about the availability of left tackle Tyron Smith, listed as questionable with a back injury, and defensive tackle Stephen Paea (questionable with a knee injury).

Grounds for divorce in Florida

Florida only recognizes two reasons for divorce. The most common reason is that the marriage is “irretrievably broken.” The only other reason is that the spouse has been legally incapacitated for at least three years. This legal incapacity must be court-ordered from the Guardianship Court.

The concept behind these two grounds for divorce is called “no-fault divorce.” Florida has recognized no-fault divorce for the past 40 years. No longer does anyone need to allege adultery, abandonment or physical abuse in order to obtain a divorce. Judges do not want to entertain a discussion about fault because they view their job as solely to fairly divide the parties’ assets, debts and deal with the issue of children. Therefore, whether or not a spouse is a bad person is generally not a factor that the court will consider.

Age of Mythology: Extended Edition review

Our Verdict

Despite that high price tag, this is a worthy update of what is arguably Ensembles most interesting game.

Three trolls, four golden battle boars and a pack of wolves have just devastated the last of Thor's town centres, and my gatherers have already moved in to take over their farming network. I am Odin, and my asshat of a thunder god son had the audacity to attack me during the opening 30 minutes of this random map skirmish. This is my petty revenge against Age of Mythology's AI, to send in every single powerful unit I have at the risk of an army of pink centaurs raiding my two settlements from the North while I'm gone.

The ludicrousness of this scenario, as mythical creatures of various origins trundle in over peaceful farmland to murder everyone in sight, was Mythology's strength over Ensemble's Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings when it was released in 2002. Mythology's colourful range of high-level fantasy creatures make the final act of any skirmish much more exciting than units of historical repute did in Age of Kings. Kraken trouble the seas, dragon-like nidhoggs circle the skies and hydra grow a head for every enemy they slay. It's still a heck of a spectacle considering it's over a decade old, but I'm not sure whether revisiting this with enhanced visual effects and Workshop support is worth the Extended Edition's steep $30/£23 price.

Age of Mythology does feel antiquated, but it is still a lot of fun. It wasn't a notably innovative RTS at release, mostly built on '90s ideas, but it did take Ensemble's blend of Civ-style city management and more conventional military RTS ideas to its creative peak, as well as making the series fully 3D for the first time. This is roughly the same deal as Empires—gather food and other necessary resources, build up a base, advance through the four main tech tiers then accumulate an army big enough to vanquish the other players.

The main difference between this and Age of Kings is each advancement to a new age presents a binary choice of gods to take your civilisation forwards, determining unit perks and which of the one-off god powers you can invoke in battle (casting lightning, creating regenerating springs, portals, even an earthquake that can destroy cities—there's a fair few). All the best parts of Mythology are the ways in which it's weirder or more exaggerated than Age of Kings. I love how set pieces escalate from looking vaguely Empires-esque to more like a scattershot fantasy painting with the arrival of these sometimes huge fictional creatures.

The upgraded effects of the Extended Edition, most noticeably the shiny-looking water, help contemporise Mythology, but the character models are the strongest signs that this is a decade-old game. AI is a bit of an issue, too. On a moderate difficulty, the enemies attack predictably in medium-sized waves while rarely putting up an overwhelming defence of their own territories. It was made in 2003, and I wasn't expecting this stuff to be rectified, but it's still worth noting if you're going into this for the first time expecting SupCom-level opposition.

I don't hold that against Mythology, though, because it is still cathartic to steamroll the AI on random maps. The online multiplayer, too, means you won't be short on smarter opponents, and at launch it seems to be running well, even if the process of finding a game you can join feels a bit arduous. Some online players favour the 'attack early' strategy, which, while effective, means you can wind up out of the running way before the interesting stuff actually happens. Those first ten minutes or so are crucial in resources gathering—there's no room to fall behind or your town centre could be in ruins before you even hit the Mythic Age.

The Extended Edition isn't short on single-player content, either. Collected here are the Titans expansion and the shorter Golden Gift DLC campaign, in addition to the original's mammoth story mode. Ensemble went in a different direction to Age Of Kings' truncated array of mini-history campaigns for one surprisingly long affair that snakes its way through Greek, Norse and Egyptian elements of mythology. It's a good way to learn how the paper-rock-scissors countering of unit types work, teaching you that overloading on any one unit type is inadvisable with so many variable strengths and weaknesses in cavalry, archers and warriors. You're still very likely to come out on top in most battles if you raid an enemy city with 15 towering colossi, but countering at least provides another element of strategy to be mindful of.

Each campaign level is prefaced by in-engine cutscenes of hilariously low production values. Voice acting sounds like the product of three almost-drunk friends being handed the keys to a recording studio for an afternoon. This shortfall is probably another sign of its age and the industry standard of the time, but otherwise I think this is one of the better RTS campaigns of its day in the variety of the mission structure. You rarely feel like you're doing the exact same thing twice, and the parameters can change from survival to deathmatches and surprise ambushes. The impressively in-depth Scenario Editor helps to extend the singleplayer's lifespan, and with Workshop support, there's no fear of running dry of stuff to do.

Age of Mythology still has a lot of value beyond nostalgia, then, but I'd wait for a discount before committing your cash, especially if you already bought it a decade ago. This isn't a total remake, so don't go in expecting one. The Extended Edition is still a really well-paced and entertaining RTS, one that revels in over-the-top imagery and remains a one-off in subject matter within the oeuvre of the sadly departed Ensemble.

The Verdict

Age of Mythology: Extended Edition

Despite that high price tag, this is a worthy update of what is arguably Ensembles most interesting game.

Updated: Play the original Legend of Zelda in 3D in your browser

Zelda 30 Year Tribute

Update: That age of darkness I mention in the paragraph below has come to pass: Nintendo has killed a clever tribute to one of its best-loved games. Sadly, Zelda30Tribute is no longer playable.

Original: What trickery is this? You can now play the original Legend of Zelda in your browser in 3D thanks to the magic of Javascript. For Zelda's 30th anniversary, Scott Lininger and Mike Magee have rendered the first three dungeons of the NES classic in voxels. You can have a go here, at least until Nintendo's legal team unleashes an age of darkness.

Zelda 30 Year Tribute 2

The remaining dungeons and the accompanying overworld are to follow, in addition to major bugfixes. Boomerangs, for example, are completely broken, while that chippy warning bleep you get when on your last half-heart of health never turns off. As the devs put it, "This is not the greatest game in the world, no; This is just a tribute."

They're not the first team to experiment with voxels in your browser—there's a functional NES emulator that extrapolates 3D models from sprites in any ROM you care to feed it.

america online inc. announced its purchase of privately held santa monica, calif.-based xdrive inc., which offers online storage and backup services.

with this acquisition, aol seeks to provide to its subscribers remote media storage and backup similar to apple computer inc.'s .mac feature.

the terms of the purchase were not made public.

according nicholas graham, a spokesperson for aol, there will be no reductions in xdrive staff or management, which will report to aol through that company's digital services business unit.

xdrive will also remain in its current offices, though graham said that the company will "probably" move into existing aol offices in santa monica at some point.

graham said that current xdrive subscribers will see their contracts with xdrive honored.

"the existing service will be maintained," graham said. he added that xdrive customers will not have to become aol subscribers to use the service.

"we're working to seamlessly merge the technology of xdrive with the storage offerings of aol," graham said.

however, graham said that he could not comment on whether existing aol customers will be able to use the integrated xdrive services for free, or whether they will be a for-fee premium feature.

in addition to apple's .mac service, graham noted other competitors in the online storage market.

google and yahoo offer online file storage, the former through its gmail service and the latter adding its briefcase feature; graham also pointed to streamload inc. and pro-softnet corp.'s ibackup.

however, he said, the current acquisition would merge aol's strong infrastructure and customer service with xdrive's solutions.

in the last year, xdrive announced with national retailer compusa and a service allowing for streaming of music files stored on xdrive's servers to a user's cell phone or pda.
