Stripped for a Scene
Blake Lively in The Private Lives of Pippa Lee (2009)
She talked about the film with GQ: "I was terrified and sick to my stomach. But I eventually saw the movie - and although I don't like the shot, the director was right. It was necessary to convey the fact that this girl I was playing had no respect for her body or her own sexual identity.
"Every time I've been asked to do nudity on screen, I've always believed in the scene"..."I think it's important that women on screen are portrayed as real women. I'm comfortable in my own skin and I'm comfortable with all the imperfections that I have."
Though Biel was known to have a 'no nudity' police she has more recently stated:
"Yeah, I mean you change and you grow up and one moment it's right and another moment it's not right. I just take it project by project. It's all about what makes sense for the character and what makes sense for me."
"I feel like I always reveal too much," she said. "There's something sexy about the mystery. I don't know how to play that card, though."
"The easiest sex scene I have done was in Mulholland Drive. That's because it was with another woman. There was no awkwardness and there was no sexual tension."
There are certain moments where I felt actually shy - and called home, just to explain that the fun movie that I had done that was digital animation was, in fact, a little different than [what] we expected." -at a press conference for Beowulf
"I always bare my breasts"..."It's not like it's only in this film!"
"...And I'm fascinated by people who are extroverted, so I guess I've got a lot more nudity to come."
"Sex scenes are incredibly awkward, they're always uncomfortable. I think they're overused and people get very flustered by them"... "It's not my favorite thing to do, but there are circumstances in which they make sense..."
"I always found it distracting to be watching a movie and there was a love scene and the girl had her bra on..."
I'm not opposed to sexuality or nudity in a film, but I'm very opposed to pornography sites and you're pretty much giving them material if you do any of that. It's always a big dilemma for me."

Prince Charles and Princess Diana take home their newborn son Prince William, as they leave St. Mary's Hospital in London on June 22, 1982.
A smiling Kate carried the future monarch outside St. Mary's Hospital in central London so he could be photographed by the dozens of international press members waiting outside (see the photo gallery).
The photos are likely to be reprinted for decades as the baby grows into adulthood and his role as a future king. His name has not yet been announced; that's expected in the next few days.
Kate, who said she felt "very emotional," passed the baby to her husband, who appeared relaxed and joked with reporters.
"He's got her looks, thankfully," William said. "He's got a good pair of lungs on him, that's for sure."
William added: "He's a big boy, he's quite heavy," and laughed when a reporter asked him about the baby's hair.
"He's got way more than me, thank God," he said.
The couple re-entered the hospital to place the child in a car seat before re-emerging to get into an SUV. William drove the couple away -- palace officials said they will head to an apartment in Kensington Palace from the hospital.
The young family's first public appearance together has been the moment that the world's media and crowds of onlookers camped outside the hospital had long been waiting for. It recalls a similar appearance three decades ago, when Princess Diana and Prince Charles carried the newborn William out to pose for photographs on the same steps in 1982.
Earlier, grandparents Prince Charles, his wife, Camilla, and Michael and Carole Middleton -- Kate's parents -- were the first relatives to visit the young family at the hospital.
Charles called the baby "marvelous," while a beaming Carole Middleton described the infant as "absolutely beautiful."
The couple's Kensington Palace office said Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, gave birth to the 8-pound, 6-ounce boy at 4:24 p.m. Monday.
The news was greeted with shrieks of joy and excited applause by hundreds of Britons and tourists gathered outside the hospital and Buckingham Palace.
Revelers staged impromptu parties at both locations, and large crowds crushed against the palace gates to try to catch a glimpse -- and a photograph -- of the golden easel placed there to formally announce the birth. Hundreds were still lining up outside the palace gates Tuesday to get near the ornate easel.
In London, gun salutes were fired, celebratory lights came on, and bells chimed at Westminster Abbey, where William and Kate wed in a lavish ceremony that drew millions of television viewers worldwide.

Pinar Karsiyaka's strong defence was at the fore once again as they opened their EuroChallenge Group I campaign with an 89-59 rout of Gaz Metan Medias.
After a close first quarter, Karsiyaka blew the visitors away in the second quarter, with a 19-2 run - capped by Jon Diebler's three-pointer - turning a narrow deficit into a commanding 39-24 lead.
The visitors did their best to get close again, with a short 6-0 run that spanned the half-time interval getting it back into single figures, Rares Mandache's lay-up making it 44-35 two minutes into the third period.
But Robert Dixon then hit a pair of threes followed by another from Diebler to highlight an 18-2 Karsiyaka spurt that definitively put the game out of reach, with Abdul Aminu's free throw making it 62-37 with three minutes left in the third.
They continued to pour it on thick in the fourth quarter, with threes from Diebler and Umit Sonkol moving them 80-53 clear, and things only got worse for the visitors as they missed their final five field goal attempts.
Karsiyaka held Gaz Metan Medias to just 21-of-62 (33.9%) shooting from the field, while sinking 31-of-51 (60.8%) of their own chances.
Dixon led Karsiyaka with 28 points while Diebler had 15 - on 5-of-7 shooting from three-point range.
Aminu added 12 points and Sonkol and William Thomas added 11 apiece.
Zoran Krstanovic had 11 points for the visitors with Mandache adding 10.
Pinar Karsiyaka head coach Ufuk Sarica:"It feels good to start the second round with a clear victory by 30 points difference. We played the whole game seriously, and with high tempo and rhythm, which made it great. We are stronger with our fans."
Pinar Karsiyaka player Ümit Sonkol:"To be able qualify, we must not lose at home. Today we won by high tempo and a high shooting percentage, and of course with the support of our fans."
Gaz Metan Medias head coach Marcel Tenter:"It is hard to make a stand against an opponent who makes 16 three pointers on 60 percent shooting; but we have to accept that Pinar Karsiyaka is the best defensive team of the competition."
Gaz Metan Medias player Rares Mandache:"We were expecting a tough and hard game but not such a high difference in the score."

SNOW HILL — It's a game that won't soon be forgotten in the annals of the Kinston-Greene Central football rivalry.
Kinston's 36-32 victory featured a little bit of everything: counter punch after counter punch, heroic individual efforts, costly mistakes, a safety, several great defensive plays on a night when neither team played much defense, and penalties. Lots of penalties.
In the end, the dynamic and unstoppable combination of quarterback VeQuain Joyner and receiver Denzel Keyes proved to be the difference for the Vikings (5-4, 2-3 Eastern Plains 2A).
Joyner and Keyes hooked up six times for 150 yards and a touchdown, accounting for virtually all of Kinston's 194 passing yards.
Trailing 32-30 with 5:32 to play, Joyner found Keyes three times for 64 yards as the Vikings marched 81 yards in seven plays for the eventual winning touchdown.
The duo's final connection went for 17 yards and set up Raheem Freeland's 1-yard TD plunge with 2:29 left in the game.
"VeQuain and Denzel are both special players," Kinston coach Nick Anderson said. "VeQuain's calm and mature and doesn't get rattled, and Denzel is simply a go-getter. He wants the ball in crunch time and he knows how to go up and get it."
Joyner's steadiness under center came in hand after an atrocious start. His first pass was intercepted and his next five fell incomplete.
Joyner didn't miss again.
He completed a 23-yard out route to Keyes and a 13-yard flat pass to Freeland to set up Will Deters' 31-yard field goal as the first half expired.
With his team down 20-17 at intermission, Anderson knew it was time to unleash Joyner and Keyes.
"Those two passes at the end of the half were the only ones we completed so we knew we had to get the passing game going in the second half," Anderson said. "We have a quarterback with a strong arm and one of the best receivers in the area so we thought, why not?"
Joyner proceeded to connect on all eight of his throws in the second half, including a 27-yard TD strike to Keyes that put the Vikings ahead 30-24 with 4:16 remaining in the third quarter.
The Greene Central secondary was simply no match for the physical, 6-foot-5 Keyes. Joyner, meanwhile, also ran for 57 yards, including a 33-yard scoring scamper in the first quarter.
The Rams' offense, however, was every bit the equal of Kinston's high-powered attack.
Quarterback Austin Batchelor completed 9 of 20 passes for 146 yards and two touchdowns. Running backs Ronshon Bullock (17 carries, 101 yards) and Kurtis Braswell (17 carries, 90 yards) also combined to shred the Kinston defense on the ground.
But four turnovers undid the Rams (1-7, 0-4), three of which were back-breakers in their own way.
GC's first miscue came on an ill-advised reverse pass that was picked off at the Kinston 9 with the Rams leading 12-7.
After a bad snap forced Joyner to fall on a loose ball in his end zone for a safety, GC took over at its own 44 following the free kick and quickly drove to the KHS 31.
Then, on first down, Kinston's Quantae Dixon wrestled the ball away from Braswell on a dive play and ran 69 yards in the other direction for a Vikings touchdown.
Deters' extra point tied the score at 14-14 and seemingly shifted the momentum in Kinston's direction with 2:53 left in the opening half.
Not so fast.
GC answered with an 11-play, 65-yard march that ended with Braswell's 4-yard TD jaunt with 24.9 seconds left before the break.
The Rams then squibbed the ensuing kickoff before committing a 15-yard personal foul penalty on the tackle, important yards that helped the Vikings get close enough for Deters' half-ending field goal.
The two teams then traded punches in the second half before someone (the Vikings) managed a huge defensive stop.
After Kinston went ahead 36-32, the Rams drove to the Vikings 48 before Batchelor was sacked on fourth-and-10 by Kamari Parks.
The Vikings won despite committing a surreal 20 penalties for 179 yards.
In the third quarter, Kinston drove to the GC 22 before a quarterback sack and penalties forced them back. And back. And back.
The Vikings were whistled for six penalties on four plays, including three of the 15-yard variety. They eventually punted the ball back to GC after facing a fourth and 60 from their own 27.
"I've never seen anything like it," Anderson said. "The game kind of got out of hand and we did a poor job of maintaining discipline. It's something we'll address in practice this week."
For Greene Central coach Ken Grantham, the senior night loss was perhaps the toughest one yet in a season of tough losses.
"I really didn't know what to tell them after the game," Grantham said. "They fought their hearts out and did everything we asked them to do. I don't think I've ever been prouder of a group of kids. They deserved to win this football game."
The Rams will try to regroup next week when they travel to SouthWest Edgecombe. Kinston has the week off and will finish against North Pitt in two weeks.

Many Americans see the price of oil quoted daily in various mediums: newspapers, on television, or they hear about it on the radio. Often crude oil benchmarks are quoted- say West Texas Intermediate crude- WTI, or Brent. However, it is only for simplicity, as dozens upon dozens of crudes all with their own individual prices are the ultimate factor in your gasoline prices.Over 100 different types of crudes are listed here- and virtually all these different types of oil are priced differently according to several factors, including supply and demand. Why does this matter? Because what one refinery in Ohio pays for oil is certainly going to be different than what a refinery in California might pay, and the two types of crude oil will...

Great post back, it reflects a reality and sincerity, not to ignore integrity, that is too often lacking in the posts I read here every day. Maybe not every day; soon, I'm thinking of backing off and looking into other forums or activities; too much of these posts are to me rhetoric devoid of significance while blazing with passion and conviction. My problem, obviously not their problem.
We are IMO in good part a reflection of our personal histories, with some small part as well being what has resulted from our own reflections on that history, with whatever intelligence and education we have. I suppose I'm tired of people posting as though they had some exclusive grasp of "truth" and "significance," whatever they call themselves.
I have enjoyed and appreciated your posts, and hope you continue them for the benefit of less experienced others. I also hope you remain relatively free of the "true believer" BS that is expressed sometimes by both "believers" and "Atheists" on this forum.
Take care and best wishes.

The Reverie Harp® is a therapeutic lap instrument that's comfortable to hold and easy to play, and its pentatonic scale ensures a pleasant sound. So, Tom Vaughn and Dana Lochner decided to share the soothing melodies and vibrations with patients at Mayo Clinic Health System in La Crosse in the form of harp therapy.
Vaughn says it's very helpful for those dealing with pain and anxiety. "It's meditation without having to go to the classes. You can play a tune while the other harpist is doing the typical therapy of the harp on the patient. The vibrations are very important." The harp therapy can even be used to substantially help lower blood pressure in high-anxiety patients. Vaughn described a particular patient in the ICU whose blood pressure dropped by 60 points in just 15 minutes.
Within six months the therapists went from treating 25 patients to playing for nearly 200. One of those patients is Lois Przywojski, a retired Mayo Clinic intensive care nurse. She helped start the program a few years ago and now she's benefiting from the melodic tones as she deals with the pain and anxiety of lung cancer. She says the harp therapy helps her reflect during her chemotherapy treatments. "You can feel the vibrations, it seems to just kind of settle things down ... it just helps a person relax."

The Springbok Sevens lost two of their three fixtures on the second day of the Tokyo Sevens, which ended with a 14-10 Plate final defeat to Fiji.
It was a tight match in the first half as South Africa trailed the Pacific Islanders 7-5 at the break. Branco du Preez's try made it a two-point game as Waisea Nayacalevu scored earlier in the stanza.
The Blitzboks suffered a big blow when Cornal Hendricks was yellow carded, and Fiji capitalised on their one-man advantage to claim a converted try through Nikola Matawalu. Chris Dry's score late in the game created an exciting finish, but Fiji managed to hold on for the win and the Plate title.
Meanwhile, Australia won their first tournament as they downed Samoa 28-26 in the Cup final, while New Zealand beat England 24-17 in the third/fourth-place play-off.
Earlier on day two, Paul Treu's men picked up a comfortable win over Wales in the Plate semi-finals as they never relinquished the lead in the contest. Skipper Kyle Brown and Stephan Dippenaar were on hand to give South Africa a 12-5 half-time advantage. Dippenaar completed his brace in the second stanza, while Cornal Hendricks also dotted down to seal the win.
In the Cup quarter-finals, the Blitzboks conceded a last-minute try as England picked up a 21-17 triumph.
South Africa led 12-7 at the break as Brown and Dippenaar crossed the chalk. William Small-Smith then extended that lead to 10 points after scoring early in the second half. However, Dan Norton and Bishops old boy Mat Turner dotted down late in the game to steal the win for England.
The Bliztboks fixtures day two:
South Africa 17 England 21
South Africa 22 Wales 10

Identifying Unmet Demand
2011, Marketing Science
Sandeep R. Chandukala, Yancy D. Edwards, Greg M. Allenby
Brand preferences and marketplace demand are a reflection of the importance of underlying needs of consumers and the efficacy of product attributes for delivering value. Dog owners, for example, may look to dog foods to provide specific benefits for their pets (e.g., shiny coats) that may not be available from current offerings. An analysis of consumer wants for these consumers would reveal weak demand for product attributes due to low efficacy, despite the presence of strong latent interest. The challenge in identifying such unmet demand is in distinguishing it from other reasons for weak preference, such as general non-interest in the category and heterogeneous tastes. We propose a model for separating out these effects within the context of conjoint analysis, and demonstrate its value with data from a national survey of toothpaste preferences. Implications for product development and re-formulation are explored.

Buses a better deal than Sounder trains, panel says
Citizen group suggests switching resources
Joe Dyer / The Herald
Sounder commuter Ashley Fejeran arrives Friday at Everett Station. A Seattle resident, Fejeran sometimes uses the Sounder train on her way to La Conner when she visits her family.

Joe Dyer / The Herald
The Sounder train sits at the Everett Station after dropping off evening commuters Thursday.
While Sound Transit has no current plans to discontinue running any of the four round-trip weekday trains, its ridership lags far behind both that of express buses from Snohomish County to Seattle and the Sounder line that runs between Seattle and Tacoma.
The report was developed over the spring and summer by the Citizen Oversight Panel, a 12-member group that provides input to Sound Transit, with help from the agency's staff.
The report specifically says the panel is not advocating discontinuing Sounder North. The trains provide a valuable alternative, according to the report.
"However, we believe that, in the long term, the taxpayers and transit users of Snohomish County will not be well served if the high-cost Sounder North line continues to run well below capacity while the much lower-cost ST Express bus routes run overloaded with passengers standing in the aisles," the report said.
It cost $32.38 per boarding to operate Sounder North in 2011, compared to $10.19 for Sounder South, according to the report. The cost for the entire system, buses included, was $12.71.
Sound Transit is under no obligation to act on the report, dated Sept. 20, but it's been presented to the Sound Transit board of directors for their review, spokeswoman Kimberly Reason said.
"We do need to embark on a rigorous action plan for how we develop ridership on the Sounder North line," she said.
Pierce County Executive Pat McCarthy, chairwoman of the board, will provide a response to the report by the end of this month, Reason said.
Even before the report, the agency was planning to take two to four cars from the trains that serve Snohomish County and move them to the Sounder South line by the end of 2013, Reason said.
Everett Mayor Ray Stephanson, Mukilteo Mayor Joe Marine and Edmonds Mayor Dave Earling signed a letter to Sound Transit in April supporting Sounder service. Earling is a member of the Sound Transit board.
"Sound Transit made commitments to the voters in Sound Move (in 1996) and ST2 (in 2008) to provide the citizens of Snohomish County with commuter rail service," the letter said.
When the first Sound Transit sales tax measure was approved by voters in 1996, daily ridership for Sounder North was projected at 2,400 to 3,200 per day by 2010, the report said. Since beginning in December 2003, its high has been 1,200 boardings per day in June 2008; the low, about 700 in December 2010.
Ridership on the south line varies between 8,500 and 10,000 boardings per day, Reason said.
The 10-page report lists several difficulties for Sounder North in comparison to the south line. One of the big ones is also Sounder North's aesthetic asset -- its route along the water.
While nice to look at, Possession Sound and Puget Sound restrict room to build more tracks to make for easier coordination between Sounder and freight trains operated by BNSF Railroad, which owns the rail lines. This causes the number of trains each way to be limited to four per day, with a few runs added on weekends for special events.
Sound Transit paid BNSF $258 million for the right to use the line in perpetuity.
The water also reduces the population from which the train can draw, essentially cutting it in half compared to the south line, which runs mostly east of I-5.
That line runs from Tacoma through the thick swath of population in the Kent Valley, Renton and south Seattle. The trains have seven passenger cars and seven stops. Sounder North has three passenger cars and three stops -- Everett, Mukilteo and Edmonds.
On the other side of the Sounder North tracks in many locations are steep slopes, which sometimes drop clumps of mud onto the tracks when it rains, closing the line.
When this occurs, BNSF requires the tracks to be closed for 48 hours while the slides are cleared. While Sound Transit adds bus service to fill in the gap for commuters, riders are forced out of their routine for at least two days.
This happened a record 70 times in the rainy winter of 2010-11, by far the most of any year since the service began.
The railroad recently received a $16 million federal grant to address mudslides on tracks statewide. The Seattle-Edmonds corridor is one of the more problematic stretches for mudslides, according to BNSF.
Also, according to the original Sounder plan, stations could be added in Richmond Beach and north Seattle when funding became available. That has not happened.
The biggest constraint in Edmonds and Mukilteo, many say, is a lack of parking.
Edmonds has 156 stalls and Mukilteo 63. The lots are full or very close to it every day, riders say.
"I just think if they got more parking they'd get more passengers," said Andrew Garcia of Mukilteo, who rides Sounder every day from Mukilteo to work in Seattle.
The Edmonds lot is often full by the time the third of four trains leaves in the morning, Earling said -- leaving anyone who wants to park and catch the fourth train out of luck.
"We get almost daily complaints about the lack of parking on site," he said. "It's understandable ridership is not what it should be."
Earling said he is pursuing arrangements with nearby property owners -- "aggressively" -- for more Sounder parking.
In Mukilteo, the Sounder platform is located next to the site where the state plans to build a new ferry terminal, and additional parking could come along with that project. This isn't expected to be done until 2017 at the earliest, however.
In Everett, parking is not a problem -- while the 975 stalls at Everett Station are split between buses and trains, the 400-stall lot east of the train tracks is rarely full, Mayor Stephanson said.
An average of 240 people board Sounder in Everett in the morning, 160 in Mukilteo and 210 in Edmonds, according to Sound Transit's most recent figures. In the evening, 590 people board Sounder northbound from Seattle.
Cutting down on the mudslides and adding stops in north Seattle could help ridership in Everett and throughout the line, Stephanson said.
The report suggests shooting for the original target of 2,400 boardings per day -- roughly double the current total -- by 2020 and to meet intermediate benchmarks before then.
If this service were to be cut, reducing one train each way per day would save $1 million per year, according to the report. This could result in 8,770 more hours of express bus service, or 10 to 12 more daily trips.
Removing two to four cars would save $184,000 per year, translating to 1,600 hours of bus service or one to two new bus trips.
Officials caution, however, that ridership wouldn't necessarily translate to the buses.
A different set of people ride trains, with many living well west of I-5, and they wouldn't necessarily want to take a bus or drive to a park-and-ride, Reason said.
Carl and Cindy Clark of Mukilteo had been riding the bus to their jobs with law firms downtown but recently switched to Sounder.
"We like it a lot better," Cindy Clark said. "It's dependable."
The Clarks added that more parking in Mukilteo would help. They wouldn't want to see the service cut. Neither would Garcia.
"I don't think very highly of that," he said.
Ridership actually has rebounded this year, Reason said, with a 14 percent increase in the spring over the same period last year and a 25 percent increase in August.
Stephanson and Earling both said they share the concern about the cost of the system, but said all efforts should be made to increase ridership before considering any further cuts.
"This is an integral part of meeting the need here," Stephanson said, noting that light rail is not scheduled to reach Lynnwood until 2023 and Everett at some point beyond then, if ever.
"All the more reason for us to find a solution to this problem," he said.

But that is just it, you look at the evidence through a filter of your own beliefs and prejudices so you see what you expect. That means that you are not objective or mentally free. The same statement applies to Muslims, Christians, Socialists, Flat Earthers, or anybody who can only see the world from a single fixed perspective and believes that this is the way things really are. It perpetuates exactly the sort of violence and hatred that you decry. Whey you categorize people simply by what you think their beliefs stand for you are ignoring the individual and dehumanizing them. When you treat people that way, you will deepen their attachments to their beliefs and simply create a deeper division. After a while you will begin to think that they really do deserve to be killed because they are totally evil.
You overestimate the degree to which "beliefs and prejudices" are "filtering" the "perceptions" of the people you are arguing with. It is convenient for you to estimate (or assert) that everyone is equally affected by them, except for certain kinds of "enlightened" individuals (and I am sure you count yourself among the latter) who truly do see clearly Traditionalism, elitism and authoritarianism can be disguised as overweening respect for ancient texts. Where have I heard that one before? An enlightened despot not sufficiently enlightened by empirical grounding cannot be trusted. I don't wish to tell people the "right" way to behave, only to make careful observations of the world, because every person must obey the laws of physics.
The fact of the matter is that, no matter how innocuous in practice, a person who believes in invisible non-existent entities is at best going to be periodically incapable of dealing with the real world, and at worst is going to be an implacable enemy who cannot be discouraged except at the point of a gun.

One thing that botter me was that the same excursion was offered for 200 pesos in the hostel and 160 pesos in an agency of turism in the city. We are sure it was the same because we went with persons who bought the package from the hostel. "

Shipping Wilmington denture repairs
Are you in need of new Wilmington dentures or have a denture that is broken? You can get Wilmington dental dentures repaired by sending your dentures through the mail to get fixed. However, it is important to note that should Wilmington dentures get lost in the mail, most of the time insurance added to your mailing might not cover the replacement cost.
Many carriers will request a proof of purchase, and will usually pay the insurance claim on new items. Sending denture repairs to a facility that offers denture repairs could support the fact Wilmington dentures that were sent are in need of Wilmington denture repairs, and the denture is currently in a broken state.
Asking about Wilmington Dental Dentures Repair
In many states, a licensed dental professional first must inspect broken Wilmington dentures. In a sense this is good for denture wearers because the dental professional can make sure the denture is not causing any serious issues that may make it more complicated or expensive in the future to wear dentures. Professionals who are involved with cheap Wilmington denture repairs understand what can cause most dentures to break.
For example worn areas on Wilmington dentures might indicate a part of the mouth has changed shape, and is where the denture might need to be refitted after the denture is fixed. Or if the denture is old and tattered, perhaps the denture wearer might be better off at replacing the denture instead of throwing dollars at something that will break in another area soon after the first denture repair.
Dental professionals are in the business to assist in the dental health of their customers. Hardly would any professional want to harm anyone just to make a few dollars profit when dealing with a cheap Wilmington denture repairs.
How well do you know the Wilmington dentures business?
If a licensed dental professional cannot be confirmed where cheap Wilmington denture repairs are offered, can you absolutely tell yourself dentures are not being fixed in someone's backyard garage or basement. Truly give this some thought to realize perhaps if a professional cannot be verified, maybe the dentures are being fixed by someone who is in the business to take advantage of its customers by fixing something that can cause serious injury if after it is fixed.
Most Licensed Professionals Display their License
After getting the license to become a professional, the license must be publicly displayed in a public area in the business, and usually is displayed in the waiting room. If contacting the business by phone, asking or walking in to the business is the same. Asking for this vital information can increase the possibility a dental professional is involved. Another area for many folks to get proof is to ask for a copy of the cheap Wilmington dental repairs prescription that was written by the licensed professional.
All denture repairs must be accompanied by a dental repair prescription, and is why folks who walk into a local dental lab might be refused any work because they do not have a Wilmington dental repair prescription to get the work done.
Wilmington Denture Repairs
There are many different ways a denture can break, and some of the most common is a single break through the pink area Wilmington dentures or a loose tooth. Dentures are not repaired with glue, but with additional denture repairs acrylic. As part of the process, the after the denture is put back together, the denture's edges are fine tuned to be smoothed by special tools so when the denture is worn again, the repair will not cause injury to the mouth.
When considering denture repairs of a tooth, it is important to make sure what kind of dentures teeth are on the denture. That is are they porcelain or acrylic. Many dentures today are made with acrylic teeth, and if it is not confirmed with the cheap Wilmington dentures business that there is a request for a replaced porcelain tooth, it probably will be replaced with an acrylic denture tooth. One of the reasons is porcelain teeth cost ten times more than a acrylic tooth, and if not confirmed a porcelain tooth is used, it probably won't happen.
Cheap Metal Repairs
Usually Wilmington partial dentures might eventually have the hooks that keep the denture in place in the mouth break off. The hooks cannot be micro welded as the metal is made of spring metal, and if it is welded, the weld will break again once the metal is flexed.
Sometimes thos who get cheap Wilmington cheap dentures might also need additiona dental services that can increase the cost of getting dentures dramatically. Many Wilmington cheap dentures usually will last a couple of years whereas dentures that are more expensive usually will last double or even triple the lenght of time Wilmington cheap dentures will last. One of the reasons is cheap Wilmington dentures cost, where dentures are affordable at a few hundred dollars, while in contrast quality dentures may be in the thousands.
Additional maintenance may be required for Wilmington Cheap Dentures to make sure they can last for a while. Dentures should be cleaned with a dentures brush on a daily routine, and soaked according to the directions the Wilmington cheap dentures business directs it's customers. Many affordable cheap dentures might be made with a softer material that can result in worn areas that can appear more quickly.
About Wilmington Cheap Dentures
Some affordable Wilmington dentures could be made with teeth or pink plastic that is of less quality than more expensive dentures. Both teeth and pink plastic can show wear signs soon after wearing dentures for a few months. Discoloration could be hard to remove as the color is caused from food particles collecting in divots or pockets on the surface of Wilmington cheap dentures.
Quality plays a very important role when it comes to selecting the right kind of denture, as Wilmington cheap dentures usually will last a couple of years, and most are made to last up to two years. This is because the materials Wilmington cheap dentures are made with are of a lower quality and will in a matter of speaking break apart after the materials lifespan. In one respect if you were to compare the amount alone that would be spent on getting Wilmington cheap dentures as to quality North Carolina dentures, you would find that you would spend thirty percent more in the same amount of time a quality denture lasts. In addition you would spend triple the amount of time getting new Wilmington cheap dentures as you would if you were to get quality dentures.
Where to look for Wilmington Cheap Dentures:
We encourage all businesses that offer Wilmington cheap dentures the opportunity to give folks like you the option to present their businesses so they can be found easily. As said previously, for any Wilmington dentures business to offer affordable Wilmington cheap dentures in county, they must control the amount of promotion they do in order forward their savings to you.
Other places that may be able to help is as in most states have a Wilmington dentures service where they may be able to direct folks where to find Wilmington cheap dentures in Wilmington, NC. Another resource is from some assisted living businesses as some may deal directly with local Wilmington cheap dentures businesses to offer their residents affordable services at their facility, and or even by contacting other places that offer another form of dentistry such as Wilmington Orthodontics services. But all of these options may take time to get the right information about North Carolina¹s cheap dentures in Wilmington, North Carolina.

LaGrange police arrested a 17 year old on several charges including homicide by vehicle and DUI on Tuesday after an investigation into a crash in April that claimed the life of a 16 year old.
The suspect, who was not named by police because he was a juvenile at 16 years old when the incident occurred, was charged as a juvenile with the following: homicide by vehicle, DUI, leaving the scene of an accident, reckless driving, possession of alcohol under 21, open container, violation of class D license restriction, seatbelt violation and failure to maintain lane. The suspect turned himself in Tuesday after his family was notified of the pending arrest, according to LaGrange police, and was released by juvenile court authorities pending a court hearing scheduled for later that day.
The juvenile is charged in the April 13, 2013, death of Christopher Mabe, who was killed after the 2005 Nissan Maxima that police believe the suspect was driving at a high rate of speed left the roadway in the 2200 block of Mooty Bridge Road and crashed into several trees. Mabe was a junior varsity football and baseball player at LaGrange High School.
Police said the arrest came after "a lengthy criminal investigation into the vehicle crash." Detective Hilton Swanson said that part of the length of the investigation stemmed from awaiting DNA results from the GBI Crime Lab, though he declined to elaborate on what evidence was being tested or further details due to the ongoing investigation.
Anyone with additional information regarding the incident was asked contact the LaGrange Police Department at 706-883-2603 or Troup County Crime Stoppers at 706-812-1000, or text an anonymous tip to 274637, keyword: LAGRANGE.

No. 3: 'Cool' T-shirts
You may think you have a cool dad. He may even be cool. He might know who Ke$ha is. He might be able to discuss the merits of the original "American Idol" judging panel over the current one. He might even be able to play the "Resident Evil" games on the tough level.
But know this: Your dad's friends, workmates and boss do not know he is cool. They know he is steady, hardworking, intelligent and all those other traits that guys try to put forward while in the company of their peers. Giving him a T-shirt that shows his love for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs is only going to confuse the issue.
An exception to this rule is shirts bearing the logos of classic rock bands. Find Dad a shirt with Pink Floyd or the Rolling Stones on it and he'll wear it proudly. Don't worry if you've never heard of them. Just trust us on this.
And trust us when we say dad doesn't want ...

Ware (January 21, 2014) - February is American Heart Month; a month to spread awareness about the importance of heart health.
Although heart disease is often thought of as a problem for men, women are equally likely to get heart disease and if fact heart disease affects women of all ages. One challenge is that heart disease symptoms in women can be different from symptoms in men. Being aware of ways to reduce the risk of heart disease as well as understanding treatment options to maintain a healthy heart can empower a woman to make their heart health a priority.
A special evening devoted to women's heart health is planned for Tuesday, February 18, from 5:00 pm until 7:30 pm at Baystate Mary Lane Hospital. The Spirit of Women "Heart Warming" Ladies Night will feature presentations by Cardiologist, Dr. James R. Cook and BMLH Emergency Room Nurse, Kimberly Davis.
Dr. Cook, Cardiologist and Director of the Cardiac Electrophysiology Program at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield will present "Simple Steps to a Healthy Heart". His presentation will focus on the steps women can take to maintain optimal heart health with a discussion on understanding risk factors and the active role they can play in maintaining their heart health. Dr. Cook cares for patients in Springfield and also sees patients at Baystate Mary Lane Hospital in Ware.
Following Dr. Cook, Kimberly Davis will present "Empower in a Half Hour-It's Time to Take Care of Yourself". Davis will offer tips on ways women can live healthier and happier lives. "Area women are encouraged to wear red and join us for this special heart health program," said Tracy Whitley, Manager of Loyalty Programs and the Spirit of Women Program.
In addition to the lecture, a heart healthy meal will be provided and a representative from Jafra Cosmetics will provide participants with their most popular moisturizing hand treatments.
For more information, to register for this event, or to become a Spirit of Women member visit baystatehealth.org/spiritofwomen or call Baystate Health Link at 967-2488 or 1-800-377-4325.

I have not read the book yet but I saw Sam's talk at TED and I immediately recognised the significance of this issue. Currently the US is leading a counter insurgency (COIN) effort in Afghanistan. Some people see this as a pivotal moment in defining the future relationship between Islam and democracy.
Both Generals McChrystal and Petraeus have made reference to our moral values when giving their guidance on how to do COIN. Gen McChrystal said that 'ensuring that values underpin our efforts' is one of the eight imperatives of COIN.
More recently, 1 Aug, Gen Petraeus issued his guidance as COMISAF/CDR USFOR-A and stated that we must 'live our values'.
It is not clear what moral values the 40+ nation coalition have in common with each other, let alone what morals they have in common with the peoples of Afghanistan. (Note that I say 'peoples of Afghanistan'. It is not clear what morals these different peoples have in common with each other.)
The fact that two four-star generals have made reference to values in their guidance, which is intended to be read by every soldier in the coalition, indicates the significance of moral values in this conflict and in the conduct of COIN.
The International Community tend to act hypocritically in the sense that they make statements about moral principle, for example women's rights, but do little about it in practice, for example when the Afghan Parliament passed a law permitting a husband to withhold food from his wife if she does not grant him sex. This hypocrisy is a direct result of not having a clear understanding of what the unifying principles of the international community are and which morals, by extension, Afghanistan must comply with in order to be part of, and receive aid and support from, the International Community.
The fact that the debate on morality in the west has been dominated by (western) religions makes it difficult to identify common ground with a country that is a self proclaimed Islamic Republic.
I look forward to reading this book and I hope that it can help bring clarity of thought to a discussion that has become overly divisive because most people have confused religion and morality for too long.

Cat Cancer Diets
Cat Cancer Diets
It is sad when your valued cat receives a Cat Cancer diagnosis, there are treatments to consider and the devastating possibility that your cat may not be with you much longer. While you are discussing treatment options for your cat, you could look for dietary options to aid their recovery and offset the effects of treatment.
Cats and Cancer
You should understand that when you are talking about cancer diets for cats, they will have to be tailored somewhat based upon the type of cancer that your cat has. There really is no 'one diet fits all' when it comes to cancer treatment. For example if you have a cat suffering from liver cancer it is not advisable to give them large amounts of protein, even though that is the generic recommendation. Keep this in mind as you search for a good cancer diet for cats, or any animal for that matter. That being said here are a few guidelines to keep in mind for creating a cancer diet for your cat:
• Fiber is important for proper digestion and bowel function
• Cat Antioxidants are an essential supplement for any animal undergoing cancer treatment as they address the problem of free radicals
• Limit carbohydrate intake
• Increase proteins from raw chicken, fish or other raw meats slowly
• Grate or food process various uncooked vegetables such as tomatoes, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and Romaine lettuce along with raw egg
• Adding Essential fatty acids
• Liquid cold pressed flax seed oil
Cancer fighting herbal supplements
There are a variety of cancer fighting herbal supplements available to add to your cat's diet to help give an added bonus and aid in recovery and treatment. These are the most common herbs used to treat cancer in cats and have been used for centuries. Only use them if you know what dosage and quantity of each herb or use a product that is premixed.
• Burdock: Used to treat flaky, oily and inflammatory disorders of the skin
• Sheep's Sorrel: Aids in treating internal hemorrhages in the stomach
• Slippery Elm: Long used for intestinal and digestive tract issues it has lubricating and astringent properties to aid in swallowing and moving toxins out of the body
• Chinese Rhubarb: Colon supporting herb also aids in salivary and gastric flow in a safe and expelling manner
• Vitamins: A, B complex, C, E and K
• Calcium, Magnesium, Selenium and Sodium supplements
• Wheat sprout, Barley and Alfalfa Grass
The goal of a cancer diet for cats is to boost the immune system, encourage proper bodily functions and keep them at a healthy weight while they fight the disease. Many times this process will be complicated by the type and location of the cancer. For example, a cat with mouth cancer may find eating to be difficult. Talk to your veterinarian about your cat's condition and the best possible diet and treatment options.

Comments about Blackburn Atom 2.0 Cyclometer:
I wanted to buy a decent computer with out breaking the bank and the 2.0 does accomplish that. Unfortunately I realized afterwards that the sensor on the fork is wired. I also learned that for a few dollars more I could have bought the Atom 4.0 which gives you the wireless technology. Should have done my research first. Spend the extra money, it's worth it.
