G-aenial Bond Unit Dose Product Update
G-aenial Bond is a 7th-generation adhesive that is now available in Unit Dose packaging. Each Unit Dose has 0.1 mL of adhesive in an easy-to-open container that is wide enough to insert the applicator brush and remove a generous volume of liquid on the tip. Fifty-seven percent of consultants preferred G-aenial Bond in the Unit Dose vials over the original 5 mL dropper bottle. The majority of dentists (86%) felt it was important that their bonding agent be compatible with multiple etching techniques. G-aenial Bond is designed for the selective etching technique (self-etch for dentin, etch and rinse for uncut enamel). Each box contains 50 Unit Dose G-aenial Bond and 50 applicator brushes.
MTA-Angelus is an endodontic reparative cement containing mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). A new, smaller packaging option includes a single 1 g vial of powder. Fifty percent of consultants preferred this to the original 5 x 1 g packaging. MTA-Angelus is indicated for the treatment of lateral and furcation perforations, apexification, internal resorption, pulpotomy, pulp capping, and apexogenesis. The powder is packaged in a re-sealable vial; liquid (distilled water) is in a dropper bottle. MTA-Angelus is available with white powder or a new light gray color.
1Shot SUB Series is a dental x-ray film and sensor holder system. Recent changes to the system hold the sensor/film more securely in place. The medical-grade silicone bands are now thicker for added retention. Bands also have a handle integrated at one end to aid in stretching it in place.

Although it is universally recognized that interproximal cleaning is essential for controlling gingivitis, periodontal disease, and tooth decay, many people have difficulty accomplishing this. Studies have shown that flossing add years to life and can help an individual look younger and have better health in general. The ADA continues to recommend flossing as part of a good oral hygiene regimen.
Braces in particular can accumulate food and plaque, which can stain the teeth, result in white spots, tooth decay, and gum disease. How the teeth and gums look when the braces come off depends largely on how the teeth were treated and maintained while the braces were on. Furthermore, patient oral hygiene is recognized as an important determinant of orthodontic treatment time and quality of the orthodontic result. It is generally experienced that a significant percentage of orthodontic patients experience hygiene challenges. Prophylactic programs and good oral home care for individuals who are undergoing orthodontic treatment is of paramount importance. A recent study found that 62% of orthodontists questioned reported inadequate patient oral hygiene during treatment. Additionally, when more oral hygiene information was given to the patient following a poor oral hygiene finding, over 50% of orthodontists reported no improvement. The key is to provide an easy and efficient tool to use that will aid and inspire excellent oral hygiene among these patients.
The FlossPro was designed with that purpose in mind. It can be held as a tooth brush and used to floss each contact area utilizing a specially designed prong that fits between the wire and the teeth providing an easy and fast way to floss without a threader.

Editors' Note: ESTELITE FLOW QUICK and ESTELITE FLOW QUICK High Flow are now available in a PLT (Pre-Loaded Tip).
Suni: The Pioneer in Digital Radiography
SuniRay digital radiography system makes it easy to capture and analyze dental radiographs quickly. Using the latest CMOS technology and Suni Advanced Imaging Software, SuniRay delivers exceptionally high image quality with maximum diagnostic capabilities.
A recent study by a third-party independent agency showed the SuniRay System to be very sensitive to radiation exposuremeaning that it required the least radiation dosage to produce a useful image. "In most cases, the amount of radiation to which patients are exposed is minimal, and everyday sun exposure delivers radiation to people that they are not even aware of, but, regardless of that fact, safety to patients continues to be a critical aspect in dentists selecting equipment to outfit their practices, said Paul Tucker, CEO of Suni.
The SuniRay System is designed with patient safety in mind. The different components of the Suni sensor and Suni's proprietary sensor technology are married together in such a way that radiation is minimized providing a safer environment for both staff and patients. "This is the basis of Suni sensor development," continued Tucker. "Suni's combination of sensor pixel size, scintillator and fiberoptic technologies, a piece of everything so to speak, provides a diagnostic quality product that continues to rate high in the safety category."
Designed and manufactured in Silicon Valley, SuniRay represents the perfect balance of form and function. SuniRay's ergonomic design and rounded corners ensure easy positioning and optimal patient comfort. Plus, the unique design of its reinforced cable attachment and hardened outer casing makes SuniRay incredibly durable and reliable.
BISCO's TheraCal™ LC
The first light-cure flowable with a purpose…to stimulate and assist in regenerating dentin!
TheraCal LC is dentistry's first HEMA-free, radiopaque, flowable resin liner to contain "apatite stimulating" calcium silicates. TheraCal LC's placement serves to seal, protect and stimulate the natural healing process of pulpal and dentin repair. Regeneration is optimized with the use of a material that serves as a barrier, creating an alkaline healing environment, and most importantly, releasing calcium stimulating ions to mobilize repair.
TheraCal LC is the innovative alternative to the commonly used calcium releasing materials of CaOH, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and capsulated portland cement. It also can be used as the replacement for resin-modified glass ionomer liners (RMGI) due to TheraCal LC's excellent handling, ease of placement, insolubility and enhanced regenerative properties.
TheraCal LC was developed to incorporate the proven clinical benefits of calcium releasing materials and the sealing ability of RMGI, but without the cytotoxicity of HEMA and solubility of the paste/paste materials currently in use (e.g. CaOH products).
TheraCal LC is dispensed directly onto affected moist tissues from a flowable syringe; no mixing, clicking or triturating. Direct placement offers the security of providing an immediate protective barrier for the pulp stimulating naturally occurring apatite revitalization for pulpal protection. TheraCal LC is light- cured in 20 second impulses in 1mm increments. Because of its' thixotropic properties, TheraCal LC's precise placement simplifies its' use in all deep cavity preparations, including direct pulp capping, and will not rinse away.
TheraCal LC is the first resin modified calcium silicate which can be placed directly on pulpal exposures after hemostasis is obtained and is indicated for any exposures, including carious, mechanical or exposures due to trauma.
When you think of enamel, think of Renamel Microfill. Renamel Microfill from Cosmedent is the most esthetic composite in dentistry, winning Product of the Year a record three times. Renamel Microfill has the best combination of handling, shades and commitment from the company to make sure you know how to use its products. All 16 of the Renamel Microfill Vita shades are close matches with its Vita analog, and the extensive shade selection (36 shades) allows you to match just about any tooth. All Renamel composites are color-matched to each other and the Vita shade guide, so you never have to guess shades or mix colors. Its fluorescence is the best in its category- just slightly lighter than tooth structure. The pink Gingafill shades are definitely handy when restoring Class V restorations in teeth with recession and when closing gingival embrasures. Renamel Microfill has amazing durability and color stability over time, making composite repairs quick and easy. Additionally, Renamel Microfill has been clinically proven to polish to the highest shine of any composite and to retain this polish long-term. With Renamel Microfill you will get results so natural, it is often difficult to determine which tooth is real and which tooth is Renamel. Renamel Microfill can be used to replace natural enamel, or to replicate the enamel layer in a build-up technique.

Vertise Flow
Kerr Introduces Self-Adhering Composite: Vertise Flow
ORANGE, CA – January 1, 2009 – Introducing Vertise™ Flow, Kerr's first self-adhering flowable composite. Kerr has become a leader in resin restorative dentistry due to decades of advancements in composites and expertise in adhesives―both of which come together in Vertise Flow. The self-adhering flowable composite technology eliminates the need for a separate bonding application step with composites for direct restorative procedures. Powered by Kerr's renowned OptiBond® adhesive technology, this product will greatly simplify the direct restorative procedure for today's time-challenged dentist by incorporating the bonding agent into the flowable, a distinguishing feature that sets Vertise Flow apart from competitors.
Product Manager Mikhanh Pham said, "Vertise Flow's incorporated adhesive creates a tenacious bond to tooth structure and protects against microleakage. Bond strengths to dentin and enamel are comparable to other self-etch adhesives." Vice President of Research and Development David Tobia explains the technology further. "GPDM is a unique molecular entity containing a phosphate group that bonds to the calcium in the hydroxyapatite, and a methacrylate functionality that bonds to the monomers in the resin matrix. Thus, GPDM, with its dual chemical roles, is the glue that affords Vertise Flow its unique properties." Clinical studies through independent research validate low microleakage and high bond strengths and are available for viewing at www.kerrdental.com.
WAMkey - Remove safely crowns in 2 minutes, with 2 fingers AND give them a "2nd life."
Specially designed for crown and bridge removal, WAMkey® is a quick, cost-effective and entirely trauma-free alternative to conventional crown pullers. Furthermore, in most cases, with WAMkey® you can permanently or temporarily reuse the crown or bridge, including porcelain or porcelain fused to metal crowns. This very user-friendly device differentiates itself from competitors by applying a dissociating action (or couple of forces) between the preparation's occlusal surface and the crown's inner side. The degree of force applied is astonishingly low and avoids all rocking movements. It's perfectly axial action leaves the crown free to "choose" the path of least resistance, thereby totally eliminating all risk of damaging the preparation. The procedure generally takes only one to two minutes per crown. Much quicker than cutting the entire crown with a bur, this solution is also recommended for crown removal prior to root canal (re)treatment procedures and can be extremely useful during bridge abutment removal procedures.

Comfort represents the patient's #1 criterion for rating the quality of dental care. The challenge for practitioners is that while local anesthetic is the dentist's primary tool for pain management, the patient may experience more pain from the anesthetic injection than from any part of a dental procedure. Many dentists are surprised to learn that their dental anesthetic cartridge contains anesthetic at the pH of lemon juice. It is not surprising the injection of an acid into sensitive tissues can be quite painful.
Introducing Onpharma®, the company whose easy-to-use products make it convenient for the dentist to deliver a pH-buffered local anesthetic injection using standard injection technique, standard armamentarium, and standard dental anesthetic cartridges.
Onpharma® anesthetic buffering solution, when used with the Onset® Mixing Pen and Onset® Cartridge Connectors represents the first and only automated, reliable, and convenient way to adjust the pH of lidocaine with epinephrine cartridges at chair side immediately prior to injection – a process that takes about 5 seconds.
Important Information:
The indication for use for Onpharma® Sodium Bicarbonate Inj., 8.4% USP Neutralizing Additive Solution is to adjust the pH of lidocaine with epinephrine toward physiologic pH in order to reduce injection pain. The Onset® Mixing Pen and the Onset® Cartridge Connectors may be used in conjunction with Onpharma® Neutralizing Additive Solution. The full prescribing information for Onpharma® Neutralizing Additive Solution, as well as the Instructions for Use for the Onset® Mixing Pen and for Onset® Cartridge Connectors may be downloaded at www.onpharma.com.

ORANGE, CA – July 24, 2009 – Expasyl gingival retraction paste now comes in strawberry flavor. This new version of Expasyl offers the same tissue management qualities—excellent hemostasis and atraumatic gingival retraction in a fraction of the time it takes to use cord—now in a pleasant new taste. A new high-value intro kit includes the lightweight ergonomic gun, new curved tips, and 60% more material than the original.
A leading product evaluation service cites that over 90% of impressions received in dental labs today do not have a circumferential visible margin, indicating that soft tissue frequently obstructs the finish line in impressions. Fast, safe and painless, Expasyl is a one-of-a-kind solution to this problem, simultaneously stopping bleeding and expanding the sulcus, which allows impression material to accurately capture crisp margins for great-fitting restorations.
Expasyl significantly cuts retraction time, is less traumatic to surrounding tissue, and the composition of the material prevents bleeding and crevicular fluid from obscuring the detail of an impression. It contains a 15% concentration of aluminum chloride which constricts blood vessels and shrinks epithelial tissue, preventing residual bleeding and separating soft tissue from the dentition. This results in an open, dry sulcus which is the ideal environment for impression-taking. These same clinical benefits are also useful in final cementation of indirect restorations or any restorative procedure that occurs near or below the gumline.

RelyX™ Fiber Post from 3M ESPE is now available in the new, smallest post size "0", with a coronal diameter of 1.1 mm. Its radiopacity was rated "Good" by a leading independent dental publication. RelyX™ Fiber Posts are a reliable, esthetic and convenient solution, standing for predictable clinical performance for all-ceramic restorations. Due to their high translucency and an appearance similar to that of tooth structure, RelyX™ Fiber Posts are not visible through the restoration and support a natural light reflection.
The similarity between RelyX™ Fiber Posts and natural teeth extends to their mechanical properties as well, ensuring reliable clinical performance. Since the modulus of elasticity is in the same range as that of dentin, forces are distributed evenly within the tooth and thus, the "wedge effect" characteristic of metal posts is avoided. The tapered shape of RelyX™ Fiber Post further helps to conserve valuable root canal dentin.
The new 1.1 mm post size makes these benefits available for all clinical situations, and complements the existing sizes of 1.9 mm, 1.6 mm and 1.3 mm diameter very well. RelyX™ Unicem Self-Adhesive Universal Resin Cement, the world's most clinically proven self-adhesive cement, provides a solution for the required adhesive cementation of the post and eliminates the need for prior etching, priming and bonding. With the material available in the RelyX™ Unicem Aplicap™ Elongation Tip, designed to reach into the root canal, cement application from bottom to top is simplified and the risk of cement voids is virtually eliminated.

FlashMax2 uses a 15 W diode. This Super LED has an optical out-put well above 4.000 mW/cm2, which is 10 times more than an old fashioned halogen curing light. This is why FlashMax2 can cure in just one second. A Super LED is so powerful that cooling is needed for optimal function. The FlashMax2 is equipped with an uniquely designed cooling body, which disperses the heat efficiently without the need of a fan, making it noiseless.Ordinary restorative work is done in a few seconds, however when doing orthodontics or bleaching, you will appreciate the extended user time. The FlashMax2 offers 90 seconds of continuous use before a pause (of 8 minutes) is necessary. If you only make a few restorations per week the time you spend on curing the composites may not matter much. However if you make 50 a week, the FlashMax2 will save you 45 minutes compared to an ordinary LED light, and 1.5 hours compared to a standard halogen light.
The FlashMax2 is:

Maximat Plus by Polydentia SA eliminates the need for a conventional matrix retainer. This universal tensioning system for plastic and metal matrices in the posterior region is fast and easy to use: after the matrix spool is placed on the tooth, tightening of the matrix can be performed with just one hand and precisely monitored by the dentist. Once the matrix is wound to the desired tension, simply remove the instrument. As only the matrix spool remains in the mouth during treatment, Maximat Plus allows a better overview during the filling phase, contributing also to the patient's and the dentist's comfort. Furthermore, the small matrix spool does not interfere with wedging. A video presentation of the product in use is provided on www.polydentia.com.
Maximat Plus avoids the excessive leverage associated with conventional matrix retainers, so the matrix is not distorted approximally and a perfect contact point can be achieved. With the Maximat Plus several fillings can be placed simultaneously in the same quadrant. Once treatment is completed, the matrix is simply removed by reinserting the tensioning instrument. All standard posterior teeth matrices up to a maximum width of 7 mm can be used with the Maximat Plus. To ensure the highest standards of hygiene, the matrix spool has been designed for single use only. The tensioning instrument, on the other hand, is made of stainless steel and high-quality amorphous plastic, and can be sterilized in an autoclave (resistant to temperatures of over 134°C – 273°F).
For even greater rapidity and convenience, the spools can also be supplied with pre-loaded contoured metal matrices (thickness: 0.04 mm/.0015" and NEW microthin 0.025 /.001"). Click here for more information.

IPS Empress CAD and IPS e.max CAD
e.max Lithium Disilicate is the most robust ceramic system tested to date* An independent study* evaluated the durability of lithium disilicate as it compares to layered zirconia supported restorations by means of a mouth motion cyclic fatigue test. This test is able to simulate the forces exerted in the mouth to assess how ceramic materials hold up to the forces of chewing.
IPS emax Lithium Disilicate This Changes Everything Ivoclar Vivadent's patented lithium disilicate material is truly a revolution for the dental industry. Never before has a material been able to combine high strength, high esthetics and ease of use into one product, until now.
IPS e.max lithium disilicate restorations exhibit superior durability featuring 360-400 MPa of flexural strength. What's more, when the lithium disilicate is fabricated to fullcontour, the monolithic structure is the most robust ceramic system tested to date.* Lithium disilicate is comprised of a unique crystalline structure which gives the material its strength and uncompromised esthetics. The opalescence, translucency and light diffusion properties of lithium disilicate were all designed to replicate natural tooth structure for beautiful and undetectable restoration.
Not only does the strength of lithium disilicate make it durable in the mouth, but it also offers options for cementation. Restorations with a retentive preparation form can be conveniently cemented with conventional cement.

The only digital impression system that...
The path to the perfect fit
A digital scan performed with iTero is, quite literally, digitally perfect. This type of precision virtually eliminates the need to reimpress patients and renders remakes a thing of the past. By removing the imprecision that is intrinsic to conventional impression materials, you can deliver consistently impressive work. iTero allows for the fabrication of all types of restorations: veneers, crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, and implant abutments, from single units to full arches. iTero models are precision milled at our state-of-the-art facility in New Jersey and are considered best in class.
With the ability to scan quadrants and full arches, iTero allows the clinician to easily take digital impressions of single-unit cases as well as more complex restorative and cosmetic full-arch treatment plans. Onscreen visualization of the scan in real time ensures that preparations are perfectly completed and that there is adequate occlusal clearance to achieve the best cosmetic and restorative outcome. The result is a reduction in seating time and an increase in patient satisfaction.
BREA, CA—When it comes to machinable materials, it's important to choose the right partners – ones that have been clinically proven time and time again. In that regard there is no greater leader, no greater innovator, than VITA. Through the introduction of VITABLOCS, VITA pioneered the machinables segment in dentistry, and product innovations through the last two decades have resulted in the evolution of materials so lifelike, and so successful, that it's hard to believe they weren't built by hand.
VITA has always been a leader in restorative esthetics, so it's not surprising that VITA would be on the vanguard of the machinables trend. VITA developed not only the very first materials for the CEREC machines, but, in pioneering development research with MIT, developed a next generation of materials in the VITABLOCS Mark II Blocks that were specifically designed to be milled – not just repurposed from other products – and were also designed to mimic enamel in their wear on opposing dentition.
These VITABLOCS material advantages have been confirmed by well over 16 million clinically successful restorations placed to date. And, VITABLOCS Mark II blocks were elected as the best material in a study conducted by an independent non-profit dental education and product testing foundation in June, 2006. In this study, the clinical success rate of inlays and and full crowns made of VITABLOCS Mark II after 7 years is 94%. It was also shown that the clinical abrasion of the restorations made of VITABLOCS Mark II corresponded to that of natural tooth enamel.
"We have used VITABLOCS in our practice with good success for years," said Dr. Sameer Puri, co-founder of cerecdoctors.com and Director of CAD/CAM at the Scottsdale Center for Dentistry. "The blocks are esthetic, durable, and have withstood the test of time in many clinical situations."
From VITABLOCS MarkII to the ultra-esthetic VITABLOCS Triluxe and VITABLOCS Triluxe Forte all the way to products like CAD-Waxx, CAD-Temp, and In-Ceram YZ Machinable Zirconia, VITA has a machinable product to meet your every need. Vident has been a provider of innovative dental products since 1985 and is the North American subsidiary of VITA, manufacturer of the internationally recognized Classical Shade Guide, 3D-Master Shade System and quality VITA restorative materials. For information on VITABLOCS and other quality VITA products call 800-828-3839 or visit www.vident.com.
Endogel® by Jordco® has taken on a new packaging configuration since first introduced in 1999. Jordco recently has chosen to use the MicroDose® 1cc single delivery system. The MicroDose delivery system consists of a 1cc poly tube that hermetically holds the Endogel in a sturdy and easy to use tube. The tube has a long narrow neck that can easily deliver the gel to the pulp chamber or into a Jordco Gelwell® cup that is used with the Endoring® II. The single use tube delivers a generous 1cc amount of the lubricating gel and helps reduce cross contamination by eliminating the need for bulk syringes or jars.
Jordco as also has improved on the superior lubricating properties that dentists have come to depend on for initial root canal file negotiation. Endogel continues to be very water soluble and will easily dissolve from a canal system following normal irrigation technique. Our lubricating gel still contains EDTA and urea peroxide to help with the
overall initial negotiation, shaping and cleaning processes.
A package of Endogel contains 12 1-cc Microdose tubes in a convenient to use zip lock package. A unit of Endogel can be removed as needed from the pack, the tip can be snipped off using a scissors and the gel can be easily squeezed out for use. Single use packaging also allows for easy disposal after each use to prevent cross contamination.

"…the Padous did have standing to challenge those subsections that the District asserted they had violated: §§ 108.7, 108.10, and 108.11. Moreover, the Padous" challenges to these three provisions were not rendered moot by amendments to other subsections of the statute. Therefore, the trial court should have ruled on the merits of the Padous" arguments that (1) §§ 108.7, 108.10, and 108.11 are not permissible time, place, and manner restrictions on speech (factoring in, with respect to § 108.11, the right to speak with anonymity), and (2) § 108.10 is unconstitutionally vague. We remand a second time so that the Superior Court can consider the merits of these claims.

The 10 Most Gut Wrenching Meals Eaten In Movies
Cinematic Listology By David Christopher Bell on November 27, 2013 | Be the First To CommentSince it's right upon us, I thought it might be fun to completely ruin your Thanksgiving this year. With no further introduction, here are the most disgusting meals consumed by human people in movies. Enjoy!
We can all hoist accolades on the filmmakers found in this series, but there are few who are as transparent about their process and actively engaging when it comes to including fans on set (at least via video) than Peter Jackson. Not just a minimal-effort chore for marketing, Jackson seems to relish with childlike abandon in making the Making Of videos and taking audiences behind the scenes of movies while they're being made. Maybe that shouldn't be surprising for a details-oriented storyteller who has built entire worlds for us to visually visit. But he wasn't always sitting on top of Middle-Earth. Before The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, it was more likely you'd catch him with a lawnmower in hand and a bucket of fake blood close by. So here's a bit of free film school (for fans and filmmakers alike) from someone who fought in the Battle of Helm's Deep.

Natalie Cassidy Is Big Brother's New Star
The first night as a Celebrity Big Brother contestant was an eventful one for Natalie Cassidy, who is best known for her role as Sonia in Eastenders. As the first contestant to enter the house, she was given a special task: follow instructions from Big Brother via an earpiece, or the other housemates will not receive their suitcases!
Cassidy tapped into her acting skills and performed fantastically on the task, managing to make the bizarre things Big Brother asked her to do seem perfectly normal. She even got away with kissing 18-year-old X Factor heartthrob Frankie Cocozza on the lips four times, and bursting into tears after a motivational speech! Whether or not Cassidy successfully managed to keep all her housemates' belongings will be revealed in tonight's show, but she's already won over the public regardless.
Natalie's great response to the first task has immediately made her a big favourite to win the series. Also popular at the bookmakers today are gay rugby player Gareth Thomas and cheeky The Only Way Is Essex star Kirk Norcross. At the other end of the scale, Playboy model twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon are not expected to be popular with the public. Also considered unlikely to win is Natasha Giggs, who is known for her affair with footballer Ryan Giggs, which took place while she was married to his brother.
Now that the first night's out of the way and the celebs are getting to know each other, we want to know what Big Brother's got in store for them! As usual, the show's producers are being pretty secretive, but it has been revealed that the first eviction will take place on Wednesday, Jan. 11, and there will be a live show every Friday and Wednesday from then on. This means the housemates have six days to win over their fellow contestants and the public, to make sure that they're not the dreaded first evictee!

Mondays have gotten a bum rap.
Where some people see it as the end of your days off, we prefer to look at it as the beginning of your nights out.
And if you're like us, you'll be checking out these events this Monday, while the weekend warriors go back into hibernation.
Flavors of Fall
The last thing you want to do after getting home from work on Monday is cook dinner. No problem — we know a few chefs (from Rialto, West Bridge, Harvest, and even the soon-to-debut Alden & Harlow) who would be happy to whip up some seasonal bites for you, with beer and cocktails provided by Brooklyn Brewery and Noir.
6:30-8:30p. Regattabar at The Charles Hotel, 1 Bennett St., Harvard Square (671-661-5000). $75-125 here.
Mick Dundee
The only thing more masculine than downing pints and watching the Pats play on Monday Night Football? Underground fight clubs. Head to this one, where they swap punches for pies (big, hearty, manly meat pies, mind you), as a dozen local chefs compete for Boston's bragging rights. Bonus: they'll likely have the game on, too.
8-11p. Lincoln Tavern, 425 West Broadway, South Boston (617-765-8636). $40 here.
Gary Clarke,
Here's one scenario: Wake up Tuesday morning and hear from all your friends about how awesome the Gary Clarke, Jr. show at Royale was last night. Now here's a better one: Get ahead of the curve by scoring a couple of tickets to the sold-out show on StubHub. Then you're the one telling everyone how good the Texas bluesman is in concert (short answer = "still
7p. Royale, 279 Tremont St., Theater District (617-338-7699). $40 and up here.
Run Lola Run
However bad your Monday is, it's gotta be better than Lola's. She's only got 20 minutes to come up with close to 70 grand or her boyfriend's short career in the Berlin mob is over (as in, he's dead). If only she had math professor Dr. John Geddes to explain the nuances of chaos theory to her, as you do after the movie, it might be a little easier. Eh, boyfriends are overrated anyway.
7p. Coolidge Corner Theatre, 290 Harvard St., Coolidge Corner (617-734-2500). $9 here.

GUWAHATI: Incessant rain for the past few days has thrown life out of gear in the city. While landslides at various places have caused panic among people living in the foothills of the city hills, several parts of Greater Guwahati were submerged in artificial floods on Tuesday.
One person was killed and three others injured due to a landslide in Santipur hillside. Chandradhar Thakuria (57), who was at his residence, was crushed to death in Santipur on Tuesday morning. While two persons were injured at Nijaranagar in Kahilipara, several were injured due to a landslide at Dhirenpara.
In Jyotinagar, a tree was uprooted due to loosening of earth, though no one was injured in the incident.
There are also reports of a landslide on the campus of the 4th Assam Police battalion at Kahilipara where three policemen were injured.
In Narengi, the wall of a temple was damaged in a landslide.
Meanwhile, several places in the city, including Ambari, Anil Nagar and Nabin Nagar, went under water due to nonstop rain in the last several hours. Various spots on RG Baruah Road, GNB Road and Rajgarh Road were also submerged in artificial floods.
The entire Rajgarh link road was inundated by rainwater. Some of the schools were shut down due to artificial floods in the city and city buses and share taxi services came to halt on RG Baruah Road on Tuesday.
"We are helpless. Artificial floods are a regular affair here. The government has failed to solve the problem of urban floods," said Prasanta Das of Anil Nagar.
Meanwhile, rickshaw-pullers earned good money with motor vehicles not being able to cruise through the flooded roads in some of localities affected by artificial floods.
The regional meteorological centre has warned that heavy to very heavy rain may occur at several places in Assam, including Guwahati, during the next 18 hours.

It's funny how play kitchens can have their own style about them just like a real kitchen. I love the DIY kitchens that parents have created themselves out of tv units and bedside tables. This isn't one of those but I LOVE it. It is so unique, stylish and can I say 'homely'. It has inspired me to be more creative in designing a play kitchen for the boys….makes me wonder what the rest of the playroom looks like at this house!

So what better way to celebrate the Reggae star than with a visit to his colorful country of Jamaica, mon! Bob Marley fans from across the world make the pilgrimage to the beautiful island nation to see where the music legend lived and where his iconic sound took root.

Pseudo-historian David Barton has been receiving significant criticism from conservative and evangelical historians who are aghast at his numerous and deliberate misrepresentations of American history, and yet Barton continues to claim that the only people who find trouble with his work are members of the liberal, secular, anti-American elite who just don't like him exposing the "truth" about the founders. Barton said that he is like Jesus and chooses to ignore his critics, even though he usually attacks or sues them.

While holding up a copy of Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, he said the left seeks to burn America "down to the ground."

Intelligent Design activist Jay Richards of the Discovery Institute, who recently coauthored the book Indivisible with televangelist James Robison, appeared on Phyllis Schlafly's radio program Eagle Forum Live this week where he argued that those who believe in individual rights and limited government should oppose the rights of gays and lesbians to marry. Richards maintained that stopping the legalization of same-sex marriage is needed to defend the rights of individuals, and argued that since marriage is "outside the jurisdiction of the state" same-sex couples cannot take...

James Robison (aka "God's Hit Man") and Jay Richards, a climate change-denying, Intelligent Design-promoting Senior Fellow at the Discovery Institute, have teamed up to write a new book entitled "Indivisible: Restoring Faith, Family, and Freedom Before It's Too Late" on how Christians can rise up and save America.
For the last few days, Robison and Richards have been promoting it on Robison's "Life Today" television program where, yesterday, Robison threw down the gauntlet, telling secularists that he was trying to save America so that they would be able to... MORE >

Trail building at ASP continues! We will continue work on the Ridge Run singletrack, a 3-mile loop off the Ridge Run XC ski trail. Half of this trail was built at our first work day so we have a good start.
Meet at 10 AM at the summit trailhead. Because the trail is distant from where we park, we will probably eat lunch out on the trail. Lunch is provided, but you will have to make your sandwich/grab your drinks, etc. before heading out.
We are asking the park to drive the tools half way to the work area, so that we don't have to carry them as far. This will allow you to ride you bike most of the way to the work area.
