Shikosha Dental Lab, Portland

Years ago when i got my first partials i didn't know how they were supposed to look like. Done by a Japanese doctor to whom i was refereed by a doctor who i was refereed to by a "Russian" colleague of Angela at GE (Sentrol) i guess. Dr. Timothy N. Tanada, year 2000. Since i didn't have money to make crowns he reconstructed some of my teeth by... feeling them. Partials made with plastic and metal, were quite a work of art and costed 4000 dollars. In fact my dental history is so long, i could write a small book about it.

Dr. Negru @2004 tricked me or persuaded me whatever and put veneers (3/4 crowns) on all my remaining teeth and adjusted the partials to them. An over 10000 dollars job. His wife and assistant, Dorina, looked like Shania Twain or Alexandra Ungureanu. He made a comment saying that Tanada did a sub-standard job on my teeth and his name being Timothy, a Christian name.

I know during my last job in 2006 i was still wearing those and i was bleeding. Around 2009 got some new partials done by a doctor Waters in Beaverton. He said from the start he would not be able to match the quality of the previous ones.

The last two ones that i still have were done by dr. Grenzer in Tigard at a Japanese laboratory named Shikosha. They look, especially last ones, really strange. The walls of the dentures that surround the gums are very deep and they interfere with emptying of saliva from salivary glands or even pump food in there while i eat.

First, the upper ones were so big (deep), they were touching the soft palate of my mouth. So i didn't wear them for a few month or until i was sure the construction work in that building was finished (much dust, i saw irritation on the face of his assistant, who looked like once sexiest woman on planet, Jennifer Aniston. Not anymore, sic transit but still with the attitude). So i went at the beginning of July and tried to have them fixed and started wearing them. Trouble is, in about one month i started to have these huge bulges on the side of my mandible where the parietal glands are.

So first, trying to find the cause by elimination i stopped wearing those. In a few days the bulges started to subside and now are almost gone. Possible complications of parietal glands infection is meningitis. On long term, i believe bacterial release from those and from wearing the partials without cleaning them after eating may lead to inflammation of esophagus, stomach with lymph nodes pressing on the common duct, bile and pancreas partial, intermittent blockage, fatty liver diseases, pancreatitis, high blood sugar. Didn't want to write about until i knew the outcome. Bulges are much smaller but not completely gone. This is just an example, mine never got like that. Note the symbolism. Parot.
This is an example found with google










And these are mine, new and old. New have hooks, are much deeper, especially right outer rim.
Updated 11/16
After starting to wear the new partials at the end of July i noticed bulges at both sides of my face, pretty similar with those in the image of this blog post though not so obvious (could mostly feel them by touch, about 1/4 inch thick). I also had dizziness and other symptoms that could indicate increased pressure of the Cerebrospinal fluid including the sound (in my own inner ear of course) similar to that of knocking of a ripe melon when taping the top of my head with the tip of my fingers.

My guess was the new partials and i stopped wearing those, starting an antibiotic course that lasted, with interruptions until today. However i kept using those dentures occasionally and every time the symptoms were coming back, even though on antibiotics.

On October 30 i decided to take action and started trim those, but i've done it in several steps, using sand paper it was a very slow process, until a few days ago when i got to the level of the older ones (though even those are big compared to the previous ones). After i finished adjusted them and filing about 1/4 of an inch of the rims, my symptoms started to ease, especially the headaches and chills after eating. My assumption is the dentures being so tall were interfering with the salivary ducts, pumping food back into those and salivary glands.

Praegitzer and Siberia

Talking about orkin men of which i just wrote and my apparent "inability to keep a job".

I once had a job through a temporary agency at a firm named Praegitzer in Hillbsoro i guess (it's been more than 20 years since). Before year 2000 when i was still full of hope and American dream (maybe i should turn this into a blog post maybe if i could remember the date) and exact place.

So i think it was Manpower who sent me there, after an hours long screening process which included hand eye coordination and elementary math. But i think the first time i signed with Manpower was about this time of August 1995 in Salem. There i did a hand eye coordination test they said it was too accurate (off the scale) and they didn't hire me for Wafertech.

So i go there (at Praegitzer) in a Friday, there was this big meeting only for perms and i was in a different room with a guy who was adjusting some electronic receivers. When i say adjusting, i say, literally moving wires and bending walls between different compartments of several receivers which were about twice the size of a car stereo while looking at a scope. It seemed the guy was in a hurry to ship those. They gave me something to do, i can't remember now, and from time to time i was hearing the owner (old man Praegitzer) talking yelling something at the meeting with a bad accent that was adding to my lack of advanced English or so i thought, cause the only word i could understand, repeating like every minute or so, was Siberia, and then the public (about 50 persons, by the noise) applauded (not to be confounded with uploaded).

Towards the end of the day (why do i remember it was an evening) the guy told me those were receivers for a security firm or security of cell phones firms that were able to recognize the analog signature of a specific cell phone, like a fingerprint. That was again in 1996 or something.

Anyways. Here came the end of the day, it was a Friday, the guy with the receivers didn't say anything, or said see you Monday or something like that, everything seemed fine, didn't get any message from the temp firm, and i came back Monday.

However, on Monday when i went there, there was no more Praegitzer logo on the wall. I tried to enter, nobody. I contacted the temp agency who told me the company moved over the weekend and forgot to tell me about. They said i shouldn't bother to go next day to the next location.

Here is an old news article about Praegitzer since 1997. Dallas based? this is where i lived my first month in 1995 at Julian Mart who could actually have been Gregorian. Julian Mart apparently knew about this guy, back then i was telling him everything i was doing. (Me living in Dallas next to Salem created a lot of confusion among my relatives in Romania who thought i lived in Dallas Texas).

Julian even took us to a place called Southfork (next to a local river). In the picture. Most likely Veronica Mart (don't know the Hungarian name, right) next to "George Hârșovescu, the Romanian pilot from Salem" (Gyula Szombathy).

This is just an example. At every job i went to, short or long, i don't believe i met with normal people but always actors. One of the best examples is Axl Rose at AVX Vanvouver, former, current Kyocera, where he has been my supervisor for almost one year (but he was working part and floating time, only a few hours a day, always different).

AVX and Axl has some name similarity. I even have a picture with him since. His live stage name was also Orville Oster, and anagram of Oster ir Roset. Another guy i remember there, Tom Green, could have been General Greene who i think was killed in Afghanistan, shortly after i mentioned his name. The guy from Inner Circle, a fellow tech who didn't know the size of Allen wrenches in fraction of inches, black, fat, braids and everything. David Espasandin, day shift supervisor who could have been Major Omar Haisan. Not last and not least, Mădălina Ghenea, by the name of Elena Andrei, whom i met back in 97. Though in 97 Mădălina Ghenea was officially 9 years old and in reality was probably 16 posing as a 22-23.

Others are William Shatner (by the name Shanon), Leonardy Nimoy (Tom Allan), Cameron Diaz, others at Quadramed, including Macy Gray. Yes, the song was about me, the title of my first program in object oriented Delphi and my constant shortness of breath due to nasal congestions due to all kinda witchcraft.

Refrigerator Ultrasound Pollution

There are only a few scientists in the world that study ultrasound pollution, which is real.

"Our results indicate that on the William & Mary campus, ultrasound noise exists between 20 to 55 kHz and at an intensity between 13 to 78 dB SPL. In addition, we identified motion sensors as the primary source of ultrasound noise. Based on student use of surveyed campus spaces, we concluded that William & Mary students are chronically exposed to ultrasound noise pollution and are potentially suffering from the symptoms associated with industrial ultrasound exposure. The prevalence of motion sensors in public spaces outside the William & Mary campus suggests that ultrasound noise pollution may be ubiquitous."

Just because we can't hear them we can't deny ultrasounds exist and accompany almost every sound.

"There's no single culprit for ultrasonic waves, Leighton said. A number of machines make them totally unintentionally. Some loudspeakers play them during test cycles. And Leighton said he's found manufacturers of those sorts of devices that are interested in his research and fixing their ultrasonic problems. Other industries, though, like the makers of devices designed to keep away pests from yards and basements, are more resistant."

And BTW, this event occured after i started to complain about refrigerator's pollution with ultrasound. Can't find it now, was most likely on g+ and now it's gone.

"The most famous supposedly ultrasonic event occurred when American diplomats in Cuba suffered a strange constellation of symptoms that officials initially attributed to some sort of ultrasonic weapon. And although the claim hasn't held up under scrutiny, that was perhaps not entirely nutty; the most severe symptoms of ultrasonic-wave exposure do include headaches, tinnitus and hearing loss similar to what the U.S. diplomats encountered in Cuba. (Leighton, like most scientists, is skeptical that ultrasonic weapons were actually involved in that event.)"

Why would only the plastic wheel of a refrigerator next to the expansion valve become brittle and brake?

Ultrasound can do a number of things, including cleaning. There are firms that clean the dust from your blinds with ultrasound. Others can unclog pipes. When i worked at AVX Vancouver we had an broken ultrasound cleaning machines for the sorting plates (that i tried to fix). But you had to add some abrasive dust in the water so the ultrasound will agitate it and rub it against the surface to clean it.

There are also reports that medical ultrasound devices can cause long term damage:

"Recent studies have reported the use of ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty on the breast4 and the extraction of high volumes of fat. Emphasis should be placed on the long-term effects of ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty on young patients when sensitive areas such as the head, neck, and breast are treated and when high-intensity ultrasound energy is applied in close proximity to major blood vessels and nerves."

Many DIYers know what an expansion valve is. Is a device that allows the controlled turning of the freon from liquid to gas inside the coils of a refrigerator. You can't possibly have missed the hissing sound, among many other sounds of the refrigerator. Especially the old ones with not so many fans. There is a continous high frequency sound that is on for as long the compressor works. That is the sound of the freon passing from the narrow passage of the expansion valve.

But first let's bring some numbers from a... Russian engineer in refrigeration (the first site i found the information after hours of searching, have to use history of my browser to find it, i first did a lot of reading before i started this blog post).

"In general, to ensure the return of oil from the circuit to the compressor crankcase and acceptable pressure losses, the flow rate in the gas main should be at least 4 meters per second for horizontal sections and at least 6 meters per second for upstream sections. To avoid unacceptably high noise levels, the maximum allowable gas flow rate is limited to 15 meters per second."

I know this is intuitive only but how much faster do you thing the gas passes through the orifice of the valve if the speed on the line is 8 m/s ? Could it go near the speed of sound, which usually is the speed of which a gas passes through an orifice from a high pressure to a low pressure chamber?

Couldn't find anywhere data on ultrasound refrigerator pollution but i know the one in our apartment has a cardboard, not plastic cover in the rear and if i take that one out i start to feel uncomfortable and the plastic wheel of the fridge in that corner broke.

What i wrote above is bad enough by itself. Now imagine you go on the beach and come back and bring some sand in your shoes. My only shoes have been designed like a sand magnet. Sketchers with some sort of fabric/mesh on top. Nobody would believe me that i can never find acceptable shoes if i go in stores.

And here's the other thing. I wrote about many times before. The Tualatin Refuge. It's the ex-site of a farm or two farms, dairy and pigs, not sure. Sherwood developed enough for things to go ugly with the farms. So they shut them down and turned them into a Wildlife Refuge. It's been almost three decades since they shut those farms and during hot summer days it still stinks like a pig pool in there. Especially after they went into the final phase of restoration, built an artificial wet land and eradicated the lavender that was planted there temporarily. But soon after i started to go out and walk, around 2012 i think (after i wrote the first time in a blog post about the possibility of identical match between two singers of Romania and two of US) they came and poured new gravel on the 4 miles of trails. I complained about this many times before. Some sort of basaltic gravel made mostly of quartz (SiO2 or glass) with other minerals. However they allowed their own heavy SUVs to go on the trails and those broke the gravel and turned it partially to a fine, abrasive, dust. That i carry on my shoes and bring it home. That is risen from shoes and shaken by the ultrasound component of the hissing expansion valve with pour sound insulation (like the abrasive dust inside an ultrasound cleaning machine). Which i inhale, then it gets eliminated from lungs into esophagus and irritates it to the point it becomes painful and infected, in synergy with my wrongfully designed partial dentures.

After i moved in Tualatin and started to walk in this park they brought in the same type of gravel, only finer and poured it on perfect trails, exactly like at the Refuge and now i remembered, at Tryon around the same time like at the Refuge.

That infection inflames the nearby lymph nodes that press on the pancreatic and liver ducts, making it difficult for pancreatic and liver secretions to be emptied in the duodenum.

On top of that, there is also an ultrasound component of the squeak coming from joints between the floor and the studs on the ceiling. Which squeak is tightly correlated with my activities (if i use the computer, which sites i open, which news i see, what i write). The on-demand supplement.

I believe no other then me has been most at the refuge. Because i go there several times a week and never see the same people twice.

Same goes for room AC, though stronger. However. Water condensates on the cool fins of the AC and that water catches some of the dust.

None of these would happen if we didn't have these giants mestubushi in our homes. But for me, they created the perfect storm. Dusty gravel, shoes, redwood, partials. BTW, did i say the partials have been built in a Japanese lab?

Ruby Wednesday

They simply know how to pick their timing. Last Sunday i started to fill out (on line, it is possible now) a small claim in the Washington County Court regarding the real reason for failure and recalls of the Hyundai. My car did not fall under recall of course because for some reason they didn't have engine seizures for this type. That third party web site where i was filing, right after i was done that is describing the issues, they asked me to electronically sign and testify under penalty of perjury that did my best efforts to recover my loss (from the plaintiff). So i sent without much hope an email to Hyundai Motor America with a copy of that description and they of course asked me first to talk on the phone, they picked a moment when i was driving, got the message when i got home and also an email basically saying the vehicle is out of warranty which is obvious.

Ever since i started the claim, they scheduled (AI, endless parade) Kia Souls to drive in front of me besides SUBARUs of which i complained about the name. Sub are you, that is subhuman. And the logo. One big star at the NW (New White Shinto) and 5 little ones scattered in the rest of it.

BTW today i was passing under the light signals on Marti-nazzi St in Tualatin and all of a sudden i had a revelation. (The shape of the poles and horizontal bars with the signs intrigued me from the beggining where i came to US cause though very efficient they require much engineering to stay in place over the years, being a very "unnatural" type of design). But to me the shape with the name Martinazzi on it now figures both a half gate and also a hanging pole.
So i got home and instead writing this blog post which (will, when i'm done) contain very important informations abut my activities and others' regarding my last matches.

So i took an advice today and tried to go to Tryon instead of Refuge. I recon the hills provide more opportunities for exercising, i already had some sun to grow a bit levels of Vitamin D for this summer (your body accumulate that and stores it for months to come). However, got into trouble right after i arrived and Boones Ferry entrance. Forgot to say, when i left, i went in the back, took the picture with the sign, i knew i had my truck in the back, no reason to turn at the door and then i remembered i didn't look for new canine gifts around door, turned around only to see the woman with the red hair, of the same height and physical constitution with the Latina from F3 with the chair yesterday getting in her car to leave. Another avatar of Szabolcs i said to myself and went back to get my truck and go to the park. Forgot many details like LPNs and logos on the freeway, i forgot to take Boones Ferry, that would have given me some delay since all that area in Lake Oswego is under construction (lots of areas under construction around here lately). At the entrance in the refuge i pulled the bottle of water i  had with me, wasn't fitting in any pocket and i just drank some and put the rest back in the car. That delay was enough for the guy with curly red hair and bear and a dog (a gray terrier i think) to come by on foot up the street. He looked at me, sort of embarrassed like, a couple of times, while i was plainly staring at him. Cause he was again Szabolcs. He passed my car and stopped at the entrance of the trail showing his back and had a chance to take a good look at his constitution. That is thinking what chances i had if i gotten into a fight with him. Though athletic, back and hands were more like women's with strong torso and legs. And when i looked at the legs, i saw under shorts hairs that were grayish but not red. I thought to myself, if he can fight then his strength must be in his kicks and some unknown ninja tricks. I was thinking later. The man allowed his body to grow like this over the years for the sole purpose of looking like a woman, for easier disguise, his specialty. Cause here in the complex he's already got at least 4 women's avatars. (S..., they came with the blowers and i forgot to water the dust around building).

Ok so i just got back at the wheel, turned around, and drove to where he came from only to see a road closure and a detour sign. I looked at the bridge they were re-building and said to myself. Can't be more than half mile detour (BTW why don't they write how many miles the detour is, it would be very easy to calculate now with google maps and everything). So i followed the signs, drove about 3 miles and got at the intersection of Terwilliger and Boones, coming from west this time of course.

Should have been distracted by something and instead of following Terwilliger where i was driving on i took a right again on Boones and went down the road until i met of course with the other road block. Then i wanted to take a picture of the road block, pulled my phone, took a picture through the dirty windshield (BTW got to wash t his truck sometime) and when i wanted to open the window to take a clearer picture i realized there was this brick red SUV behind me. I thought he was waiting for me to make an U-turn so he can do his, gave up on taking that picture and started to turn only to see him in my peripheral vision that he started to make a left turn on the street perpendicular to Boones and was on collision course. He didn't make more than 3 ft when i saw him and of course i stopped and he stopped in that very instant and we were kinda face to face through windows and window was down like mine and had a change to take a good look at him and i'm 90% sure it was our Joe Biden. Red tanned, looking better than in the pictures (like i heard about Obama) he never lost his nerve, he said hi and smiled, but next to him i saw an old lady that went so frustrated by the fact it didn't work and she looked exactly like Barbra Bush. But couldn't have been cause she's dead, right? How about the actress who did her?

Of course my phone was on the seat next to me, these cameras work quite good in good light when you want to take a picture like for your memories, but are slow to start in situations like these, it didn't even cross my mind in that second. All i got is time and location from the picture with the road block.

So he was just staying there when i turned around and turned right on Terwilliger. I went at the Terwilliger entrance of the park, but most except a few spots next to curb were taken. I saw at least 4-5 cars with many kids getting out, all kinda slow motion with adults giving me strange looks. So i just left and drove back on Terwilliger. On the overpass waiting at the light signal for Barbour (99). I was maybe the 7th car in the row, the guys coming from opposite direction where giving me all kinda theatrical looks, like scared, worried, it turned green but first guy wouldn't move until somebody from behind me honked. It finally did but i'm pretty sure the guy in front of me and i passed on red. But the guy in front of me was again a brick red SUV and slowed unexpectedly while i was staring at the red light but stopped in time not to hit him.

Other that that. Got to pass again through 2 red/speed camera intersections on 99, i was careful to memorize how i did it and got at the refuge.

As i was parking a guy in a black t-shirt and his wife, both looking angry came and got in the SUV in front of me and left. As he climbed at the wheel i had a chance to see the back of this black T-shirt that was covered on his length by a thin white rectangle with something written in the middle, a bible quote starting with God is my Lord, whith huge letters. It reminded me of the bible studies in Ron Boger's house back in 97, of Ron Boger his wife Mary and i started to get mad and... i forgot my phone on the seat of the truck.

Entered the refuge and i saw the bush with blue flowers had the flowers more open then ever ans sun was behind a cloud and bush was bright and everything and wanted to take a picture but realized my phone is in the truck, and went back and picked it (3 minutes walk).


Then on the trail i met with a woman that first i though was Meryl Streep but when she said an aggressive hi and smiled at me i realized she was younger.

I continued walking and after a mile or so i heard a military jet. Haven't heard one of those since i posted a match with a colonel here at the base. Then i've been thinking. They could have messed with my phone while i walked 3 minutes on the trail without it etc..
