For the first time, Festival Music House Pacific brings Canada's top musical talent to Vancouver for a one-night concert on Friday, October 3rd at The Imperial. Coinciding with the Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF), the invite-only, intimate concert provides a platform for established and up-and-coming Canadian acts to perform for festival delegates.
This year's performers include critically-acclaimed pop/rock singer-songwriter Hannah Georgas, rising electro-pop artist Willa, Vancouver's four-piece rock band Damn Fools and recently announced electro-soul/dance quartet Bear Mountain.
"I find that our two creative industries run in parallel to each other and I thought what better way to get together than to throw a party during VIFF. Invite the attending VIFF film and TV delegates to an intimate showcase of Canada's top musicians," said Ric Arboit, President and Co-Founder of Nettwerk Music Group, which helped to curate and organize the event. "Music plays such a significant role in screen-based industries and I'm thrilled to celebrate these collaborative art forms at this must-attend event," adds Jacqueline Dupuis, Executive Director of Vancouver International Film Festival.
The Greater Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF) Society is a well-established not-for-profit cultural society that produces year-round programming at the Vancouver International Film Centre in addition to the 16-day International Film Festival and the four-day VIFF Industry Conference. The Society is a charitable not-for-profit arts and cultural organization, employing over 100 staff and 750 volunteers in British Columbia, with an annual operating budget of approximately $5.0 million. Its mandate is to encourage the understanding of other nations through the art of cinema, facilitate the meeting of entertainment professionals from around the world and to stimulate the motion picture industry in BC and Canada.
We are deeply saddened to learn of John Spinks' passing. Over the past 8 years, we came to know him as a passionate and inspiring songwriter, producer, guitar player and all-around artist. He was an immeasurable talent whose songs brought joy to many. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and his many fans. We'll miss you John. -- Your Nettwerk Family

Nettwerk is excited to announce the signing of British alt rock/pop band Scars On 45 to its label roster. The band is currently putting the final touches on their upcoming album, due out this fall (date TBA). They have also just launched an U.S. summer headline tour, which started yesterday in San Diego and will keep them on the road through early August (all dates listed below).
Scars On 45 released their self-titled debut in 2012, which landed at #4 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart. Already a favorite among film and TV music supervisors, the band's gorgeous melodies, driving instrumentation and boy/girl harmonies caught the attention of VH1 who chose them as a coveted You Oughta Know Artist. They made their national TV debut on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno and received media support from the likes of USA Today, People, Entertainment Weekly, Paste, Spin, Billboard and more.
On his Facebook page, Arnalds wrote of the win: "Now that I've had a bit of time to process things. I need to give credit where credit is due. I was so nervous and shocked during my acceptance speech that I forgot anyone who wasn't standing right in front of me. It's pretty given that no one delivers four and a half hour of original music in the space of 4 months without some help. So I just want to give proper recognition to Bergur Þórisson, my genius little helper, who put just as many hours into this as i did myself. Also Viktor Orri Árnason, who not only transcribed and played the violin, but also provided some additional string arrangements in the later episodes. And of course Arnór Dan, who co-wrote and sung the end title theme. These people don't get enough credit for their work, so here is to them! I am also in lifelong debt to the Broadchurch creative and executive team who gave me the freedom to express myself from the heart and encouraged me to be brave and bold. And yes, I will be doing Season 2."
Nettwerk is celebrating Record Store Day (April 19) with two special, limited-edition releases from current label artist Peter Murphy and catalogue artist (but Nettwerk-managed) fun.
Peter Murphy will release an exclusive 7" Metallic Silver Vinyl featuring a dub mix of the track "Hang Up," which is the lead single off of his upcoming studio album Lion. It will also feature B-side "I'm On Your Side."
fun. will release an exclusive 10" Rainbow Splatter Vinyl featuring previously unreleased demos from the band's debut album Aim & Ignite. The band, who are all vinyl lovers themselves, oversaw the packaging, which features Aim & Ignite era styled artwork housed in a gatefold package with a bonus poster.

Nettwerk Music Group (NMG) announced today that AJ Burton has been named Director Of Publishing, NMG Nashville, to expand the presence of NMG's publishing division, Nettwerk One (NW1).
Nettwerk's relationship with AJ began in 2011 with the initiation of a partnership between NW1 and Revelry Music Group, an independent Nashville publishing company co-founded by Burton. Through the joint venture, NW1 and Revelry signed several successful Nashville writers, like Neil Mason and Jessie Jo Dillon. In his new roll with Nettwerk, Burton will seek new writing talent, as well as opportunities for current NW1 clients in Nashville.
"I'm thrilled to have AJ join the Nettwerk team," says Nettwerk's Blair McDonald. "He's been a great partner to us through our joint venture with Revelry Music Group, and I look forward to working closely with him to develop our own roster of talented Nashville songwriters."
Says Burton, "It's been a fantastic 3+ years working closely with the Nettwerk staff. I am honored to have this opportunity to build Nettwerk's Nashville presence and to continue my responsibilities with our shared Nettwerk/Revelry writers and artists."
Artists from across Nettwerk Music Group's label, management and publishing divisions are heading to Austin next week. This includes: Boy & Bear (label), Current Swell (label/publishing), Ghost Beach (label), Gruff Rhys (publishing), H. Hawkline (publishing), Lily Kershaw (label), Madi Diaz (label/management), Perfume Genius (publishing), Royal Canoe (management/publishing/label ex North America), Run River North (label), The Pack A.D. (label/publishing), Sea Lion (publishing) and Typhoon (management).
Nettwerk will also be hosting its own day party this year: Nettwerk Music. Best. Party. Ever. The party will take place on Wednesday, March 12 at Friends (208 E. 6th Street), and party-goers will assured great music, free food & drink, and opportunities to win prizes from sponsors Phorus Speakers and Silver Jeans.

Nettwerk Music Group is excited to announce that Nettwerk UK has been nominated for a Music Week Award in the category of Best Independent Record Company, alongside fellow indie labels Domino, Matador, Bella Union and more. The awards will take place Thursday, April 24 at The Brewery in Cenrtal London.
Nettwerk UK saw huge success over the past year with Passenger's "Let Her Go," which was the biggest selling British single and one of only four British singles to sell over 1 million copies last year. The track was also nominated for a Brit Award in the category of "Best British Single." 2014 is gearing up to be another great year for Nettwerk UK, with the recently released, critically acclaimed album (Harlequin Dream) and sold-out UK tour from Australia's Boy & Bear, and highly-anticipated debut albums from the much buzzed about NYC tropical grit pop Ghost Beach and the UK's own NME-approved Coves.

UNA demands removal of Zamboanga Norte police chief
DAVAO CITY—The United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) has called on the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) to immediately act on the complaints against a police official in Zamboanga del Norte.
UNA secretary general Toby Tiangco, in a statement sent to the Philippine Daily Inquirer, called on Interior Secretary Manuel Roxas II, who has supervision over the Philippine National Police, to immediately act on the mounting complaints against Superintendent Reynaldo Maclang, commander of the Police Public Safety Company (PPSC) based in Dipolog City.
"There are urgent petitions to the Philippine National Police and Secretary Roxas to reprimand and file the necessary administrative charges against Maclang since 2011, coming from ordinary folks and even from international human rights groups, but all these appeals fell on deaf ears and were never acted upon by the PNP or the DILG," Tiangco said.
Tiangco said Maclang has been involved in a string of cases ranging from grave abuse of authority to human rights violations. The most recent cases involving Maclang happened in the May 2013 elections.
Local UNA candidates had complained of harassment allegedly in the hands of Maclang and his men.
UNA mayoral candidate Mariano Candelaria Jr. and his running mate, Lolito Miraveles, of Gutalac, Zamboanga del Norte, in a joint complaint affidavit filed at the Commission on Elections (Comelec), claimed Maclang violated the Omnibus Election Code by engaging in partisan political activities and harassment to favor local candidates of the Liberal Party.
Tiangco said complaints have already been filed against Maclang in local courts, the Commission on Human Rights and the Comelec, but it seemed the cases are not moving.
Maclang is known to employ "buy-bust operations" as a tactic to arrest personal and political enemies. Maclang was still promoted despite complaints and serious allegations of extrajudicial killings and other forms of human rights violations against him.
Maclang has put five media men in jail: Ryan Uy, Joseph Herrera, Ferdinand Lear, Genesis Ajero and Roy Villar, while 169 others are languishing behind bars as a result allegedly of arbitrary arrests. Inquirer Mindanao

While Republicans keep trying to shove major cuts to Medicare benefits, including increasing the eligibility age, onto the fiscal
The health care program for the elderly is at the center of discussions, and prominent panels that have studied the deficit and issued recommendations have often targeted it. But a full 79 percent of those surveyed want the fiscal-cliff negotiators not to cut the program at all. Only 17 percent would be willing to see it cut some, and a minuscule 3 percent would be OK with it being cut a lot.The public wasn't riven over Medicare in the election, which the folks at Democracy Corps remind us from their election day polling.
We gave voters a choice between two statements—one acknowledging the federal deficit as a big problem, but arguing against major spending cuts in Social Security and Medicare and the other arguing that deficits are such a national crisis that broad spending cuts must include "possible future cuts" to Social Security and Medicare. Even with this cautious statement, the "no cuts" position won by almost a two-to-one margin (60 percent to 33 percent) and with great intensity; almost half of all voters (47 percent) strongly believe that cuts to Social Security and Medicare should be off the table.As the Democracy Corp memo says, this is critical stuff for the American public: "The polling shows the mandate is to protect Medicare and Social Security, not cut them. And Washington will face a TARP-like reaction if they read the election wrong." The election results give Democrats all the mandate they need to fight for keeping these programs safe. The next election should give them the impetus to do it.

Clearly, NYU isn't solely responsible for the changes in the neighborhood, though they deserve plenty of blame for knocking down historic buildings and putting up depressing high-rises. (My own personal contempt for them hit a high point when they demolished the Edgar Allan Poe house on West Third Street.) And it's not news that gentrification has taken a hideous toll on the landscape of the Village. Among innumerable horrors, three sad examples: the Equinox gym on Greenwich Avenue where the movie theater stood for years; the stars set in the pavement outside what was once the Second Avenue Deli, each of which contains the name of an actor from the golden age of the Yiddish stage, now decorating the sidewalk in front of a Chase bank; Ralph Lauren and other international labels colonizing Bleecker Street, where one of the last bits of dubious charm is provided by the faux-rural décor of the ridiculously popular Magnolia Bake Shop, with its long line of customers waiting for cupcakes.
But even if NYU doesn't fork over one penny, there will still be a basement where you can buy a 1974 Seventeen mag or an early New YorkerGallagher concedes he isn't going anywhere anytime soon. "I'm sticking it out either way," he says. In the meantime, he's keeping alive a tradition he started long ago: For years, Gallagher has been giving makeovers to local homeless men, two a day. "Mr. John up the street cuts their hair and they get new clothes from the Salvation Army." In fact, a recent recipient, who is at the shop when I arrive, looks so natty I mistake him for an employee. "Why do I do it?" Gallagher asks rhetorically, flicking a cigarette and looking around his empty shop. "I've always done it. It's the Village."

All quotes tagged Piano
(80 quotes found)
"PIANO, n. A parlor utensil for subduing the impenitent visitor. It is operated by pressing the keys of the machine and the spirits of the audience."
"Fundamentally I feel that there is as much difference between the stage and the films as between a piano and a violin. Normally you can't become a virtuoso in both."
"It's not safe, but yeah, I can flip a piano over. You take it on this side where there's not really as much weight."
"I see the player piano as the grandfather of the computer, the ancestor of the entire nightmare we live in, the birth of the binary world where there is no option other than yes or no and where there is no refuge."

What is the difference between "extended" partitions and "logical" partitions on my hard disk? What's the need for each? I am using Linux
Historically, hard drives have only been able to contain at most four partitions because of the originally defined format of the partition table. This is not specific to operating systems. You simply can't create more than four primary partitions.*
In order to circumvent this limit and still remain compatible with older systems, you can create an extended partition however. An extended partition can contain multiple logical partitions within it. This allows you to create more than four partitions in total, without having to change the format of the partition table.
If you're interested in the details, you can look at the Wikipedia entries on disk partitioning or the master boot record.
* At least on computers with BIOS firmware, I don't know if the UEFI standard (a BIOS-replacement) lifts this limitation.

Posted by a Consumer on 07/11/131.0 out of 5.0WATCH OUT! BEWARE! This firm misled us. We feel they are untrustworthy. A minor problem turned into a financial nightmare. When we didn't have funds to continue, we gave C & L two choices--either stop the case, or continue, as long as we could pay under certain conditions. They chose to continue. We took their word. Then we were dragged through a harrowing collection process which is bankrupting us. I feel they don't care for clients--only about money, and how much and how fast they can get it.

Simply Divine Bakery (Sisters of St. Benedict)
802 E. 10th St.
Ferdinand Indiana 47532United States
(812) 367-2500
Editor's Review
The beautiful setting includes a church nicknamed the castle on the hill, but the poorly stocked Simply Divine Bakery isn't worth a special trip.
Founded in 1867, the Sisters of St. Benedict in Ferdinand is one of the nation's largest Benedictine communities of women. Its Simply Divine Bakery offers classic recipes, such as springerle cookies, that reflect the community's strong German-Catholic heritage. The cookies, which were recently juried into the Indiana Artisan program, are made with centuries-old recipes and local ingredients, such as mint grown in the monastery garden. The monastery itself is worth a stop, especially for a tour of the soaring church nicknamed "the castle on the hill." (Call ahead for tour times, or you might find the place locked up.) But don't come just for the cookies: You'll find only a small, poorly stocked rack in the monastery gift shop. A better bet: Order the cookies from the bakery's website, where even seasonal flavors are available year-round.

some weird inconsistencies w regard to Gangstarr songs listed here. Like, clicking on a song that was on Daily Operation takes me to another song from Hard to Earn...
Also missing some scratched samples like Erik B Rakim on 'The illest brother' and I think it was Richard Pryor not Bill Cosby they sampled. So I just need to know what the sample 'Harder than the hardest hard as hard could get' is from , I think its Big Daddy Kane, not sure.

Mavea Featured In TIME Magazine
Pouring It On
In 2000, Brita GMBH, a German company that designs and manufactures consumer and professional water-filtration products, including popular water-purifying pitchers, made a decision that from a branding perspective seemed unthinkable. When it ended its 12-year-old licensing-and-distribution agreement with U.S. conglomerate the Clorox Co., Brita sold Clorox sole rights in North America to the Brita brand, which has become synonymous with these pitchers. The German company also agreed to a noncompete clause until 2005.
Today Brita is a fairly large company in Europe — last year's revenue topped $400 million — with the problems of a small business in the U.S. Its new Mavea brand is the underdog in water-filtration pitchers, compared with the Clorox-owned Brita brand it created.

War Veteran Addresses Ptsd
By Jessica Marcy email@example.com 981-3340
John Whitlock became a counselor motivated by his own experience with alcohol abuse as well as a divine inspiration to help others, he says.
The Vietnam War veteran discovered his niche counseling veterans and, for the past 16 years, has worked at the Roanoke Vet Center, where he said most of the former soldiers he sees have suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder.
Whitlock, who served in the Marines, said the anxiety disorder often isolates people socially, destroys marriages, creates employment problems and affects family members.
Whitlock will discuss PTSD at an event Monday sponsored by the National Alliance on Mental Illness of the Roanoke Valley.
The event — set for 7 p.m. at First Christian Church on Church Avenue Southwest in Roanoke — is part of the Mental Illness Awareness Week, which runs through Saturday.
Whitlock hopes to increase understanding about PTSD through a question and answer session.
PTSD can occur after a traumatic event such as when a person feels their life is in danger or they have no control of a situation. Symptoms can be terrifying and often include reliving an event, avoiding situations that remind a person of the event, feeling numb or feeling overly anxious and excited, according to the Web site of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
The disorder can result from any type of trauma, including combat, physical abuse or natural disasters. In recent years, though, PTSD has received increased attention as many troops have returned from Iraq and Afghanistan with the disorder.
Still, PTSD associated with combat has a long history and used to be called nostalgia or soldier's heart during the Civil War and shell shock in World War II.
Whitlock said it's important to treat PTSD early. He says he sees Vietnam War vets who are only now starting seek help as they reach retirement age. He hopes veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan will seek help sooner because the disorder is now more in the open.
"They stand a greater chance of a more complete recovery," he said.
Whitlock says he feels fulfilled seeing people improve their quality of life and develop a zest for life through counseling.
"We're certainly not in the business we're in to get rich but to help others," Whitlock said.

|Institutional effects on grain producer price-risk management behavior: a comparative study across the United States and South Africa
|Woolverton, Andrea Elizabeth, 1979-
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|This dissertation analyzes the impact of the surrounding agricultural marketing environment on grain producers' hedging decisions. This dissertation hypothesize that supports such as producer income supports and grain price protections create general disincentives to consistently manage price-risk, particularly at low prices. A three-stage comparative method is used to test this hypothesis. Producer price-risk management interviews conducted in both the South African and U.S. grain belt regions are the primary data source. South African producer price-risk management decisions in a non-supported environment are compared to U.S. producer price-risk management decisions in a supported environment using a tobit regression. Producing in South Africa as compared to producing in the U.S. has a significantly positive impact on both pre-plant and pre-harvest hedging levels. Important market-based variables including debt, diversification and yield risk are also found to significantly impact the hedging decision across countries.

Tigers extend contracts of Leyland, Dombrowski
One day before their big series against second-place Cleveland, the Detroit Tigers ended months of speculation about their manager and front office.
The Tigers have extended manager Jim Leyland's contract through the 2012 season, and general manager Dave Dombrowski has agreed to a four-year extension through 2015. Both contracts were set to expire after this season, but with Detroit in first place, owner Mike Ilitch decided the time was right to work out new deals.
"Dave has built a solid foundation for this organization and assembled competitive teams that give us a chance to win year in and year out. We have a lot of confidence in his continued leadership of the Detroit Tigers," Ilitch said. "I know Jim shares our desire to deliver a winner. We're pleased to have him continue leading the Detroit Tigers on the field."
The announcement came on a day off for the Tigers as they prepared for probably their biggest series of the season so far. Detroit begins a three-game set at Cleveland on Tuesday night. The Tigers lead the second-place Indians by four games in the AL Central.
Detroit hasn't won a division title since 1987 and hasn't made the postseason since 2006, when the Tigers went to the World Series as a wild card in Leyland's first year.
"I want to thank Mr. Ilitch and Dave Dombrowski for the support and confidence they have shown in me and I look forward to managing the Detroit Tigers in 2012," Leyland said in a statement. "Also, my many thanks go out to generations of Tigers fans who have supported the Tigers through the good times as well as the tough times."
Dombrowski is also the team president and CEO. He was hired by the Tigers shortly after the 2001 season.
Detroit lost 215 games from 2002-03, but Dombrowski helped rebuild the team, and the Tigers have finished under .500 only once under Leyland.
Detroit went 81-81 in 2010, and Leyland was blunt back in January when assessing the situation he and Dombrowski were in.
"My tail's on the line, Dave's is on the line," Leyland said then.
Dombrowski added designated hitter Victor Martinez, pitcher Brad Penny and reliever Joaquin Benoit during the offseason, and Martinez leads the team with a .323 average.
More recently, Dombrowski acquired third baseman Wilson Betemit, starter Doug Fister and reliever David Pauley before the trade deadline in an attempt to shore up the roster for the stretch drive.
The Tigers have their share of older players, such as Magglio Ordonez and Carlos Guillen, but Dombrowski doesn't expect this season's success to be fleeting. Ace Justin Verlander, a favorite for the Cy Young Award, is 28, and fellow starters Max Scherzer (27) and Rick Porcello (22) are even younger.
Slugger Miguel Cabrera is 28 and in his prime.
"I think we're in the best place we have been since I've been here," Dombrowski said. "I think we're in a position where we're very stable and I look for us to be good for years to come."

Romulan starbase, a thought I just had

I just had a thought that...what if they added in a unique compromise regarding the Starbase? Here's how it'd go:
Romulans join Fed and KDF fleets. However, they add in Romulan starbases, which level up as the actual Starbase does. It wouldn't be treated as it's own separate Starbase, but say...
You had a tier 4 Federation Starbase that was tier 4 across the board. In turn, the moment Romulans are added, there would be a tier 4 Romulan Starbase that Romulan players could visit.
Now, I dunno how well and how far the 'immersion' could go. Like would the Starbase purely be an outside skin and then players would magically appear in a Fed or KDF starbase, or would it have it's own interiors, along with all the Featured Project stuff being added in.
Also, I doubt that it'd work well in trying to make it get used for Fleet Alert and such PvE missions, but who knows.
But honestly, if they did add in all that (even if it cost fleet's an arm and a leg to do it) that'd be a really good compromise. Not perfect, but then Romulans could still have their Romulan Starbase. They'd have to choose Fed or KDF, true, but at least it'd be something.
They are NOT going to add anything your suggesting here, they are not going to care what people are asking for on these forums. Quit wasting your time giving your "ideas" because they are NOT going to happen.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
This course focuses on two elements of web development: accessibility and search engine optimization (SEO), demonstrating why they are important and how they work. Author Morten Rand-Hendriksen also shows how good coding practices and modern web standards can make a site accessible and more visible to search engines and social networks.
When you read a magazine or newspaper, you will from time to time see offset quotes that are lifted out of the overall context of the page. These are sometimes called pull quotes and they are used to drag the reader's attention toward a particular quote in the text or to emphasize that this is a quote rather than just a regular part of the text. In HTML, we find the same type of elements in the blockquotes tag. When you build a web page, the blockquote element is used to indicate a quotation. It's usually used when you quote something off someone else's website or if you write an article that has a quote in it and you want to pull attention to it.
The blockquote is good for accessibility because it clearly separates a quote from the rest of the text, so that when you read the text, you can clearly either see or hear that this text does not belong in with the rest of the text in terms of who wrote it. And this is really important, because if you want to communicate that this is not what you wrote, this is what someone else wrote, you will use the blockquote. The SEO benefit of the blockquote is directly linked to this. Search engine rankings depend on a lot of different factors, two of which are the validity of your content and also the linking out to other sources.
So when you make a quote and you attribute it properly to the source, usually with a link attached to a name, then you tell the search engine, look, I am presenting you with proper content and here is where I got it from. So you are being transparent about it, and that's something that search engines like. Adding a blockquote to your text means to add the blockquote tag around some content. So I will go to my project site and open into my browser to find some content I want to wrap. And when I read it, I see that the fourth paragraph under Heading 2 looks like a quote, so I will just wrap this in the blockquote so you can see what happens.
I will open my file in Notepad and I will find the section I want to change.
It starts here with I daresay, so I'll just go and simply change the , which
and save it.
Now when I reload the page, you will see that the blockquote appears quite
differently from the rest of text, and here's something important.
The reason why it appears differently is because that's how I styled it, so if I
right-click on this content, select Inspect Element, and look at the styles in
the site here, you will see that I have a style called blockquote that controls
the display of this content.
, whichis the paragraph, to blockquote. Then I will end with the same thing
You will see that the font size is 1em, it's italicized, there is a bigger line-height, and there are more margins. Just like with the emphasized and the strongly emphasized content, the blockquote tag itself has nothing to do with how it's displayed. It's a semantic tag telling the browser what's going on with the content inside it. How you display that content varies depending on how you want to design it, and this is an important point. In the past, people tended to use the blockquote element to indent content. It was really used as an indentation function rather than a quote function.
This is not what it's for. The blockquote is for presenting block quotes, texts that are quoted either from a person, from within the text itself, or from a different source. If used correctly, the blockquote is a powerful tool telling the browser and the user that this content comes from elsewhere and is quoted. Combined with the right citation and a link to the originator, it can be an even more helpful tool both for the visitor in finding the original source, and you, in lending validity to your content.

WQA Discusses Well Water Treatment Options in Congress
Briefing informs members of new ground water study
WQA attended a congressional briefing sponsored by the US Geological Survey's (USGS) National Water Quality Assessment Program and the Water Environment Federation (WEF). During the briefing, the USGS released findings on samples of more than 2,000 wells.
"It is vital for public policy makers to understand what tens of millions of Americans are ingesting and how they can be helped," said
Nearly 45 million people rely on private wells for drinking water, which is not regulated by the federal Safe Drinking Water Act. According to news reports in previous months, almost one in six Americans may be affected by pharmaceuticals in their household water. Additionally, many other contaminants are often present, either from natural or human sources.
WQA, a not-for-profit alliance of water treatment companies, has become a resource for consumers and public policy makers seeking information about the issue. WQA offers an online fact sheet with answers to the issue of contaminants in water, available at wqa.org. Copies of the fact sheet were provided to members of Congress.
WQA has also joined a task force to develop independent testing standards that will be able to tell consumers what devices are successful at removing many of these newly discovered contaminants.
Filtering systems in the home provide the highest technology available for treatment of drinking water, according to
Fifty percent of Americans believe federal laws governing drinking water are not strict enough, according to a scientific opinion polls conducted for the Water Quality Association. The random sample surveys, conducted by Applied Research-West, Inc., were released by WQA in 2008.
Only 34 percent of respondents stated that they believed federal drinking water quality laws are "fair." Additionally, 38 percent said they do not believe their municipality is doing everything it should to make sure water reaching their home is safe to drink.
Overall, just over two-thirds of Americans – 67 percent – are generally concerned about the quality of their household water supply. Americans seem to increasingly believe that responsibility for safe drinking water is a public/private partnership. Seventy percent said they believe that home filtration plays a role, along with their municipality, in ensuring safe drinking water.

The Water Quality Association is a non-profit international trade association representing the residential, commercial, industrial and small community water treatment industry. Its membership consists of both manufacturers as well as dealers/distributors of equipment. WQA is a resource and information source, a voice for the industry, an educator of professionals, a laboratory for product testing, and a communicator with the public. WQA has more than 2,500 members nationwide.

Buzz cut or not?
What do women think about the buzz cut? Yay or Nay?
Most Helpful Opinion
unless a guy has a really attractive face, nay!
What if he has thin hair that he can't style? Why not just buzz it all off?
- Show Older Hide Older
I have actually gotten my hair cut very short before, and got a lot of compliments on it. I have been told that I have a very manly face, so I don't know if that is why, or if they were just being "nice."
Lol I wouldn't know and can't judge seeing as I haven't seen even a picture of you.
but if others like you having short hair and you like it too more then it being short is probably the best and so don't count the opinions of us on the site especially since we don't have the slightest idea of what you look like.
What Girls Said 10
What Guys Said 1
Buzz cut is always going to be in style, I used to buzz my hair all the time, you don't have to comb it and every single girl I know or dated said they really liked my hair buzzed. So I say go for it if you don't like it wait a few weeks and it will grow back out.
Actually though it's been in a style for a while now for older guys the new generation of guys mostly don't have "buzzcuts"; instead the new style is usually shaggy hair, which I like a whole lot better anyways.
- Show Older Hide Older
Again you said "always" which implies throughout history, but that simply is not true. and the main reason that guys in the military have to have them is so that they can easily perform their duties without their hair in their face, not because it necessarily looks better. plus that is just one "job." and AGAIN you have your opinion and I have mine but come on it's just hair! you're acting like guys have a moral duty to have their hair short and if they don't then they should be shunned.
....plus when I look around me at guys my age or younger I mostly see longer hair than a buzzcut so that again disproves your point that guys will generally always have really short hair....plus half of females - and actually the older they are - have hair more on the shorter side. my hair goes to my shoulders up front and to the top of my neck in the back but, and my dad would agree, that looks the best on me versus longer hair seeing as I'm short and my hair is naturally really thick.
Have an opinion?

Facial ParalysisLet us help
Contact Us
Dr. Andre Panossian has performed hundreds of surgeries to reconstruct patients with facial paralysis. Based on his extensive experience in the field, Dr. Panossian created the Facial Paralysis Center at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, bringing together multiple specialists to treat patients affected by facial paralysis. Trained at Harvard and at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto with Dr. Ron Zuker, he is an expert in both Zuker and Labbé smile surgery techniques. In addition to performing the gracilis muscle transfer and cross-face nerve graft, Dr. Panossian has modified and refined the temporalis myoplasty (Labbé technique) to get consistent results and shorter recovery times. Most patients no longer require a hospital stay.* Other necessary procedures for correction of eyelid drooping, brow asymmetry, and lower lip balancing are now offered simultaneously. Dr. Panossian's modifications have improved the time to reanimation and overall patient satisfaction. In addition, his specialty in the complex world of pediatric plastic surgery gives him an edge in addressing facial paralysis in adults as well. You no longer have to live with facial paralysis. To find out more about facial paralysis, visit Dr. Panossian's new website www.FacialParalysisCenter.com.
Simply put, facial paralysis is the inability to move the face. However, this simplifies the true importance of what the face really does. As human beings, we rely on our faces to communicate emotions, establish bonds with others, and protect important functions such as eyesight and speech. The true importance of facial expression is often overlooked until it is gone.
There is no single cause of facial paralysis, but it involves damage to the facial nerve, which innervates all of the muscles of facial expression. Sources of that damage can include viral infection (Bell's palsy), trauma, tumor, certain medications, autoimmune disorders, or other causes. Sometimes, it is possible to regain that function over time. However, nerves regenerate at a very slow rate. Recovery may take weeks to months or years to occur. However, sometimes the damage is irreversible, and the result is permanent facial paralysis. It may affect one or both sides of the face. It may occur asymmetrically. There may be residual weakness or incomplete paralysis. The overall picture can be quite varied.
Facial paralysis can be broken down into areas of the face that are most noticeably affected… the forehead, eyes, and smile (see tabs on left column). No two patients are alike in their appearance and degree of facial paralysis. To understand the reconstructive options for each area, click on the appropriate links for details. Dr. Panossian's expertise in reconstruction of facial paralysis is quite extensive. He engages in research aimed at understanding the basis for facial paralysis and strategizing new techniques to improve surgical outcomes. If you have been affected by facial paralysis, contact Dr. Panossian to begin your path to recovery.
*Hospitalization requirement is determined on an individual basis and will depend on patient health status at the time of surgery.
Your smile is one of the most unique characteristics about your face. Losing the ability to smile can have profound effects on the ability to socially interact with others, communicate, and develop one's self image.
Numerous options are available for patients requiring reconstruction. Generally, these options could be categorized as "static" or "dynamic" in nature. Static reconstructions involve resuspending the corner of the mouth in a natural position to counteract the droop of the paralyzed face. This can be done in a number of ways using several natural and artificial options. Dynamic reconstructions involve the use of techniques to re-establish muscle control of the paralyzed face. This typically involves the transfer of a muscle from another part of the body to the face where it is reconnected to a new blood supply and plugged into a functioning nerve. Over time, the new muscle gains the ability to move and re-activate the lost smile.
Dr. Panossian has developed a new take on an old technique (ie, the Labbe technique) designed to reanimate the smile using a muscle for biting. This muscle, called the temporalis, is one of four muscles used in biting, and it is located on the side of the head. When biting, the muscle can be felt to tense up. What makes this surgery ideal is that it utilizes a nearby muscle that is already functioning to achieve a smile. Specifically, the insertion of the muscle on the lower jaw is changed so that the muscle begins to pull on the corner of the mouth. The muscle is functional for smiling from as early as several days after surgery. Over time, the muscle begins to move spontaneously when trying to smile, even though it was originally used for biting. There are numerous advantages of this technique: it can be done in an outpatient setting for most patients, scars are minimal, bulk in the cheek is significantly minimized, and time to achieving results is improved.
Other methods are also available to dynamically reconstruct, not only the smile, but possibly all of the paralyzed facial muscles. In those patients presenting early on in their facial paralysis (within the first 9 to 12 months), nerve transfers and nerve grafting may be options for treatment. This entails "re-wiring" the affected facial nerve so that it receives innervation from another nerve in the face. This may be achieved via a nerve graft from the opposite (unaffected) side of the face using a branch of the functioning facial nerve. Or, a different unaffected nerve on the same side of the face may be transferred and plugged in. This first type of surgery is called a "cross-face nerve graft," whereas the second type is a "nerve transfer." The nerve graft is obtained from the leg through small incisions and does not result in any functional loss in the leg. The nerve transfer will utilize one of the branches of the fifth cranial nerve used for biting in most cases. Once again, there is usually no functional deficit where the nerve originated.
Both static and dynamic reconstructions are complex and have pros and cons as with all surgical options. Making the decision to pursue one line of treatment over another is difficult. It involves the desires of the patient, the degree of facial paralysis present, and the patient's own physiology. Dr Panossian is one of only a handful of experts in the world with training and skill in restoring paralyzed faces with the full complement of options, especially with the intricate task of repairing one's smile. Call Dr. Panossian today to discuss your options.
Dr. Panossian is the Founder of the Facial Paralysis Center at Children's Hospital Los Angeles and has taken his multidisciplinary approach to his private practice. He leads a team of specialists dedicated to the comprehensive treatment of children and adults with facial paralysis.
Paralysis of the eyes and eyelids can result in a number of problems. The most serious problem is the inability to close the eye, which can remain open while sleeping. Persistent problems with eye closure may lead to drying of the cornea. In turn, this may result in permanent scarring and eventual blindness. This is the most compelling reason to treat facial paralysis.
Other problems include the appearance of the droopy lower eyelid. Initially, the droop may be subtle, but with time, the lower eyelid will fall further. This causes a noticeable deformity and one of the stigmata of facial paralysis. The upper eyelid may also have trouble doing its part to close the eye and can worsen the problem of the "wide eyed" look. Lastly, the dynamic effect of blinking can be affected. This is typically one of the most difficult functions to restore.
Several solutions exist for the variety of problems that can affect the eye in facial paralysis. The decision to pursue surgery is made in conjunction with an ophthalmologist's evaluation. If signs of corneal scarring (ie, keratopathy) are present despite aggressive lubrication regimens, then the decision to undergo surgery is made urgently. Alternatively, if eyelid drooping (ie, lagophthalmos) is causing a severe cosmetic deformity, then one can also proceed with surgical correction.
A number of surgical techniques are available to correct eyelid paralysis depending upon severity. These include placement of an upper eyelid weight, lower eyelid tendon sling, or tarsorrhaphy (suturing outer part of upper and lower eyelids together), among others.
Synkinesis is the involuntary movement of facial muscles that can occur after recovery of the facial nerve. This happens most often in the setting of Bell's palsy and can be quite disconcerting for patients. It is the result of miswiring of the downstream branches of the facial nerve during the process of nerve regeneration. In the setting of facial paralysis, eyelid twitching may be triggered by voluntary activation of other facial muscles, such as smiling or moving the mouth. Treatment to correct this problem can include surgical denervation of the interconnections between the involved muscles or with use of Botox.
Whether mild or severe, correction of eyelid problems is an important part of any treatment plan for facial paralysis. Dr. Panossian's years of experience and specialized training in the correction of facial paralysis have assisted hundreds of patients seeking relief from their symptoms.
With paralysis of the forehead, the ability to raise the brow or create wrinkles is affected. People with forehead paralysis are not necessarily noticed right away. However, with animation and simple gestures, the lack of movement becomes obvious. Sometimes, forehead paralysis may result in gradual drooping over the upper eyelid. This can worsen over time and can even partially block vision.
As with other areas of the face, options are available for treatment of forehead paralysis. Although a paralyzed forehead may mimic a "permanent Botox" effect, many people don't care for the look, especially when only one half of the forehead is affected. For those wishing to have a more uniform appearance, Botox injections to the unaffected side may produce the desired appearance. However, these injections may be required every 3 to 6 months to maintain the effect. Another option may be to permanently paralyze the normal side of the forehead with a surgical procedure. For patients experiencing problems with their vision due to a heavy, droopy forehead, a browlift will restore the height of the brow to a desirable level. Dr. Panossian has studied and refined these techniques over many years. Arrange a consultation today to discuss your options.

Disaster! - Mobile phone down toilet..!

Posted October 22, 2008 at 7:29AM
You can probably guessed what happened from the title......
It happened yesterday morning. I did what I've read about on the 'net and instantly retrieved it, took the battery, sim card and memory card out and placed it all on some tissue paper in front of the fire.
All day I tried it at various intervals - but no joy. The battery, sim card and memory card all appeared to be OK as they all worked in my older phone, which thankfully, I still had hanging around somewhere.
Last night however, I tried it again and , joy of joys, it worked and it still is now.
My question is this - is it likely to continue working or is this a brief respite from the inevitable?
I would also like to add that the guy in the T-mobile shop that I went to see about it couldn't have been more helpful but the alleged 'insurance' company that 'covered' the phone were rubbish - heres a brief snippet of the conversation we had on the phone...
Her - "So you dropped it in the toilet this morning"
Me - "Yes, about 7 o'clock"
Her - "OK, so what were you doing at the time?"
Me - "Errrr, what do you think I was doing!?"
They had refused to help out by the way as apparently I hadn't taken enough care when using the phone....

I once dropped a phone into a glass coke, without spilling it.
Phone beside me on chair but when I stood up it slid of the chair straight into glass of coke on the floor.
I didn't notice initially where it went until I seen the coke fizzing up. :(
Totally destroyed the screen.
Oh and the Insurance gave me a brand new replacement.

Solved the battery running down really quickly issue as well.
Used the battery from my older phone, which I had thankfully kept for emergency use.
Apparently, according to a mate of mine at work, if a mobile phone battery gets wet this is what happens. Something to do with the way they charge allegedly.

"After careful consideration" (less than 30 seconds) "we've had to decline your f******e claim because: You have not taken all reasonable precautions to prevent the incident"
"Please know that we value you as a customer" etc etc
