The trouble with wars is that they rarely come to a neat full stop. When the fighting ends, the real problems start, and go on and on, spreading way beyond the boundaries where the war took place. And for years afterwards diplomats fume about the tunnel vision of the generals who were only concerned with the fighting, and not with the political ramifications.
This is precisely what is happening now in Iraq. The US Department of Defence fought a copybook campaign there, and yet the whole business looks more ragged and unfinished than ever.
Take the relationship with Turkey. Washington has always approved of Turkey: it's a democracy, up to a point, but a democracy where the politicians ultimately have to do what the generals tell them. And the generals have always been strongly pro-Nato and pro-American.
Just the kind of place the Americans can do business with, and not have to worry too much about what the civilians think. As long as the arms supplies keep coming, and the generals are consulted regularly, all will be well indefinitely. Right?
Wrong. The war to overthrow Saddam Hussein has touched on both of the two great areas of national sensitivity: the relations between Islam and secular government, and the Kurdish question. With a country as potentially irascible as Turkey, these are issues where the lightest and most delicate touch has to be employed.
If the semi-official Anatolian News Agency is to be believed, the touch which 100 soldiers of the US 173rd Airborne division used a week ago to arrest 11 members of Turkey's special forces in the Iraqi Kurdish town of Suleimaniyah was neither light nor delicate. Instead, the agency said, quoting eyewitnesses, the Americans aimed their guns at the Turks, pushed them around, put sacks over their heads, and handcuffed them.
Gen Hilmi Ozkok, Turkey's chief of staff, harangued the American ambassador, Robert Pearson, on Turkish television, and told him the arrests had created the biggest crisis of confidence ever between Turkish and US forces. Another leading general, Hursit Tolon, hitherto a pillar of the Nato alliance, cancelled a trip he was due to make to Washington.
But what were 11 Turkish special forces soldiers doing in Suleimaniyah anyway, given that it is in a different country which is recovering from a war in which the Turkish army, thanks to a vote last March by parliament in Ankara, refused to have any part?
The answer relates to the second of Turkey's national sensitivities: the Kurdish question. A small detachment of Turkish soldiers has been in northern Iraq for several years, permitted by the Americans and British to base themselves there as a way of buying off Turkish resentment against the growing independence of the Iraqi Kurds in their protected enclave.
With great misgivings, Turkey fell in with the suggestion by the governments of John Major and George Bush the elder that the Kurdish areas should be protected from Saddam Hussein by US and British aircraft: the northern no-fly zone. After an extremely shaky start, Iraqi Kurdistan made such a success of things economically and politically that it became a viable mini-state. And as a result, the Kurdish population of Turkey, which is scarcely allowed to lift its head or call itself by its proper name, started to see a small but definitely viable example of Kurdish self-rule establishing itself across the Turkish-Iraqi border.
In February and March there were fears that Turkey would stir up the Turkish-speaking minorities in Kurdish cities like Arbil and Suleimaniyah, and then insist on sending in large numbers of Turkish troops to "restore order". That, fortunately for just about everyone, didn't happen.
However, the unnecessarily brutal arrest of the 11 Turkish special forces soldiers on July 4 in Suleimaniyah has brought the whole subject to the fore again, even though the men were released a few days later. There have been large demonstrations in Ankara, and the army leadership remains furious.
What exactly were the 11 Turkish soldiers doing, and why did they have explosives and ropes with them when they were caught? The Americans say they had information (from the Kurds, presumably) that the soldiers were planning to murder the Kurdish governor of Kirkuk, at the centre of Iraq's largest oilfield. A Turkish colonel, one of the 11, is said to have been thrown out of Iraqi Kurdistan twice before on suspicion of staging anti-Kurdish provocations.
The Americans have allowed their resentment at Turkey's refusal to help them in the war (an entirely democratic decision, it has to be said) to colour the entire relationship. Now things are going from bad to worse. It is important, and right, for the US to support its loyal allies, the Iraqi Kurds. But it won't do the Kurds any good if Turkey becomes an outright enemy.

Fixing Arizona's water shortage will cost us (so let's plan now)
"Water supply sustainability in the Southwest" is not one of those discussion topics our friends at the chambers of commerce enjoy hearing tossed around loosely in public, even though it is itself a euphemism for a more unsettling phrase.
Let's call it what it is: A potential water shortage. Or, "shortfall," if you must, of the water supply necessary to sustain anticipated population levels in the not-to-distant future. Not tomorrow, certainly. But quite possibly sooner than many experts recently believed.
With full, self-conscious awareness that their predictions will win them few friends, the directors of the Arizona Department of Water Resources have crunched Arizona's water-supply numbers and arrived at a sobering conclusion: Over the next 25 to 100 years, Arizona will have to develop additional water supplies if it is to address water-supply demand.
Below: ADWR's plans for Phoenix
"We need to start having that conversation — one that includes California, Mexico and Arizona," said Sandy Fabritz-Whitney, director of ADWR.
The calculation is not all that complex. Current-day water supply plus additional population minus extended drought and changing climate conditions equals a water-supply shortfall. Current supplies from our in-state sources and from the Colorado River just are not going to cut it at some point in the possibly very near future.
In December 2012, the federal Bureau of Reclamation released a massive study of water supplies in the entire Colorado River basin area and arrived at similar conclusions about the region's growing dependence on a shrinking supply. It too predicted shortfalls.
The ADWR study adapted that analysis specifically to Arizona. And just like the comprehensive federal study, the ADWR study breaks down Arizona into regions. And, for each of those regions, it offers locally meaningful recommendations about what we might do to alleviate the effects of water shortfalls.
The bottom line is that making up shortfalls will be costly.
About half of the anticipated shortfall could be made up by a more aggressive use of reclaimed water — presuming "we use every bit of it," says Fabritz-Whitney.
Other potential resolutions run the gamut from pipelines running from wetter climates to enormous desalinization plants in California and Mexico. The consequences of such efforts, both financial and political, are not difficult to imagine: extraordinary costs and extraordinary resistance from environmental groups that worry, with justification, what to do with all that residue salt.
ADWR traditionally has been Arizona's repository of what we should call water intelligence. Over the years, the staff at ADWR could be counted upon to know the science and history of the Southwest's water supply and water law better than anyone, including federal experts. And based on that "intel," the department historically has helped provide invaluable technical detail about Western water policy and reality, both in the courtroom when disputes turned to litigation and in the state Legislature and Congress when laws required amending.
That bank of intelligence was scoured nearly clean during the recession years as the Legislature zeroed out much of ADWR's budget, running off hundreds of years worth of institutional knowledge.
This report — Arizona's Next Century: A Strategic Vision for Water Supply Sustainability — represents a return of sorts for the now-reconstituted ADWR. Whether we like the news or not, it is good to have the agency back at something close to full strength and on the job.

Released: Oct 01st, 1992
Running Time: 74
Director: Sam Abdul
Company: VCA
Distribution Companies: HIS
Cast: Matt Windsor, Mark Andrews, Randy Storm, Johnny Rahm, Ted Matthews, Tad Garret, Chance Caldwell, Eric DiGiorgio, Mitch Green, Jim Dunagan
Critical Rating: AA 1/2
Genre: Gay and Bi
Sam Abdul's debut as a director shows the obvious influence of Gino Colbert, who appears in a nonsexual role. We have the skeleton of a plot - two roommates (Andrews and Matthews) place an ad for an apartment in the newspaper just to meet hunky men for fun in the sack - but it is unevenly developed. Characterizations remain on the surface, and none of the action is exceptionally hot. The fourway that constitutes the video's sexual climax is particularly disappointing. But for a first outing, the title shows promise. Abdul needs to find his own voice as a director.

Sometimes, we can get by with face wash alone. Other days—like when we go all out with a smoky eye and bold, long-lasting lip color—call for a dedicated makeup remover. This gentle, oil-based formula removes shadow, liner, and mascara without breaking a sweat. Plus, it's fragrance-free, paraben-free, and hypoallergenic—which means you don't have to worry about redness or irritation.
Even Waterproof mascara comes off easily. Just remember to shake it up good before use and you can easily get your eye make up off in a flash. It's not greasy or gummy, but wipes off your eye make up and mascara with no difficulty at all. I immediately bought the full size bottle and keep the box size refilled for travel.5

By Col. Deborah B. GraysOctober 2, 2008
FORT MCPHERSON, Ga. -- The Tuesday morning Atlanta Journal-Constitution's front-page headline, in bold letters and a font size usually reserved for a declaration of war, announced, "Bailout plan fails; Dow plummets 777." But after the markets opened, an online Associated Press (AP) article headline read, "Stocks jump after steep sell-off; key rate rises."
The lead for the AP story read, "Wall Street snapped back Tuesday after its biggest sell-off in years amid growing expectations that lawmakers will salvage a $700 billion rescue plan for the financial sector. But the seized-up credit markets where businesses turn to raise money showed no sign of relief."
Such turbulent economic times can strike us with fear and uncertainty, but calm and riding out the storm are probably the best courses of action to choose. Many are worried about their retirement funds, but we have a few advantages in the Army. Both military retirement and funds under the Civil Service Retirement System are what is called a defined benefit. As long as our government is up and running, these retirement funds are safe and I'm confident the United States of America isn't going anywhere.
Civilians under FERS (Federal Employees Retirement System) have a more limited, defined benefit program, with the opportunity for an agency match of up to 5 percent for their personal contributions to the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP). The TSP is comprised of government securities and index funds. The index funds involve some risk, but are widely diversified to minimize the threats of loss.
According to Accredited Financial Counselor Jolane Williams at Army Community Service (ACS), many people tend to panic during financial times like we are witnessing now and that is the worst thing you can do. Most of you have a financial plan and the key is to stick to your plan, even if those around you are going a little crazy.
If you don't have a plan, get one. ACS staff can help you devise a plan for free. Next week, ACS will end a series of financial planning lunch seminars for this year. A new series will begin again in January - keep checking the Sentinel for specific classes and dates. The series includes information on financial plans and investment options, retirement plans (types and the IRS), bonds, mutual funds, insurance and annuities and wills, estates and trusts.
Classes are open to Soldiers, retirees, Family members and Civilians. Classes are held in Bldg. 62 at Fort McPherson. Classes are free and participants are welcome to bring their lunch.
The Army recently launched the Ready Army campaign to encourage Soldiers and their Families to prepare and be ready at home for natural and manmade disasters, disease and other emergencies. The financial crisis facing our nation at present probably qualifies as an emergency. You should have a plan.
Williams is available at 464-2498 or 464-4070 for individual financial counseling appointments. I encourage you to take advantage of her free expertise and to enroll in the next series of lunch seminars. The seminars are taught by Doris Cash (no pun intended), who is also available for individual counseling on a more limited basis.
Times are tough. It's been a tumultuous year and you can almost feel the financial world shifting under your feet. But there is no reason to stumble, fall or have the rug pulled out from under you. Have, update or make a plan. Stick to the plan. Ride it out. Our great nation will return to the financial stability and prosperity that we maybe had begun to take for granted. We all have so much to be thankful for - don't let some indigestion (maybe more of a case of food poisoning or stomach flu) on Wall Street mess with your serenity.

Why the universe went to the trouble of existing in the first place, what it might be "selecting" for and what possible role we play in the scheme of things.

Hi I'm a retired electrical engineer. I very much enjoyed the last discussion, I look forward to this one.
I am not sure it was a good idea for skeptics and humanists to forge an alliance. CFI seems to have embraced a lot of their causes célèbres such as the death penalty for homosexuality in Uganda - no doubt a worthy cause but nothing really to do with the core philosophy of our movement. Meanwhile the humanists have not openly endorsed many of CFI's projects. Increasing our membership by amalgamation has its drawbacks; if we are not careful we may get encrusted with too many "barnacles". I think some humanists have been less respectful of others when it comes to the give and take of lively discussions at cafe inquiries and freethinker bookclub sessions.

How do I keep the light meter display on in the view finder while using manual mode? I find that the display only stays on for a short while which is annoying when trying to set aperture and shutter speed. I have to keep pressing the shooting button to bring it back on. (This is on a Canon EOS 1100D?)
I'm afraid you can't change this, it's a battery saving feature. Most cameras allow you to change how long (or if) the LCD displays the image once taken, but few seem to allow you to change the length of time the viewfinder display stays active.
My Nikon viewfinder will stay active as long as I half press the shutter, or adjust the aperture or exposure dials.

The Best Oil to Use for Oil PullingNatural Remedies, Oral Health
I first learned about oil pulling two decades ago while studying Ayurvedic cooking. Oil pulling, or oil gargling, is an ancient detoxification therapy mentioned in Ayurvedic texts and is recommended as an easy, daily practice to rapidly improve oral health and over time, help resolve many chronic diseases.
The modern resurgence of oil pulling therapy commenced in 1992 and was initiated by Dr. F. Karach, MD, who used it with great success in his medical practice. Dr. Karach claimed that oil pulling would resolve a variety of illnesses including hormonal problems, cardiovascular disease, and digestive ailments.
Dr. Bruce Fife, author of Coconut Cures and Oil Pulling Therapy: Detoxifying and Healing the Body Through Oral Cleansing, suggests that oil pulling therapy can effectively be used to clear and heal sinus problems as one of the first detox symptoms that is experienced is an increased flow/clearing of mucous from the throat and sinuses. Mucous drainage is one of the body's best methods of removing toxins.
How Does Oil Pulling Work?
The practice of oil pulling is extremely simple.
One tablespoon of raw, cold pressed oil is swished in the mouth for 15-20 minutes. The swishing process involves gently pushing and pulling the oil around and through the teeth.
Oil pulling should be performed one to three times a day on an empty stomach. The best time for oil pulling is upon arising in the morning before breakfast or drinking anything, but anytime of day before eating will do.
Dr. Fife advises the following while oil pulling:
While you are pulling, mucous may build in the back of your throat. You may even have to expel the oil and clear the mucous from your throat before reaching a full 20 minutes. That's okay, take another spoonful of oil and continue until you've pulled for a total of 15-20 minutes.
After swishing with the oil for the allotted amount of time, the oil is completely spit out and the teeth, gums, tongue and palate gently cleansed by rinsing the mouth with salt water and brushing as usual.
It is important to note that the oil used for oil pulling must never be swallowed as it is loaded with toxins and bacteria and possibly even pus and mucous if an infection is present.
Which Oil is Best to Use for Oil Pulling?
A variety of oils are recommended for oil pulling. Traditionally, sesame oil, coconut oil or butter oil (ghee) are used. Modern day practice of this ancient therapy includes sunflower or olive oil as alternatives as well.
While any of these oils are likely effective, is any one choice better than the others?
According to research performed by Irish scientists from the Athlone Institute of Technology who tested the effects of coconut oil, vegetable oil and olive oil on dental health, the answer is yes.
Of the three types of oil tested, only coconut oil was shown to prevent Streptococcus mutans, an acid-producing bacterium that is a common inhabitant of the mouth and a major cause of tooth decay, from binding to and damaging tooth enamel.
This finding lends serious credence to the anecdotal claims of some people who report that oil pulling works best with coconut oil.
Lead researcher Dr. Damien Brady stated that coconut oil could prove to be an attractive alternative to chemicals in maintaining oral health. He noted that not only does coconut oil work at relatively low concentrations, but with the worrisome problem of increasing antibiotic resistance, it is important to consider coconut oil a potentially novel new way to control microbial infections.
Dr. Fife also recommends making medicated coconut oil in his book, Oil Pulling Therapy to enhance the effects and healing properties of oil pulling.
Refined vs Unrefined Coconut Oil
Virgin coconut oil is the best choice for oil pulling therapy as it is truly "raw" – unheated, unrefined and may contain micronutrients and co-factors not present in expeller pressed coconut oils which are heated as part of the refining process.
Remember too, that coconut oil solidifies at 76 F/24 C, so if your virgin coconut oil is solid in the pantry, you may need to gently liquify it in a pan of warm water before commencing your oil pulling routine for the day unless you are comfortable to let it melt in your mouth before you start swishing.
Is Oil Pulling Right for You?
Oil pulling is probably the cheapest and easiest detoxification regimen you could ever try. It simply involves swishing your mouth with oil one to three times a day on an empty stomach and then spitting it out.
No dieting, fasting, herbs or pills are required to get started. No matter what your age or level of health, oil pulling is harmless and nearly anyone can do it.
Sometimes powerful answers come in a brown paper bag. Give oil pulling with virgin coconut oil a try!

By the way, Sarah, your kitchen counters and appliances always sparkle so. Have you ever done a video, or would you do one, on how you do your cleaning without chemicals? I try to use things like white vinegar but I never seem to get that really clean looking shine.
I just wipe with white vinegar on a damp cloth normally. Nothing fancy

So, is coconut the only one that protects against Step Mutans?
This says sesame works too.
And this study:
All the oils used in this study [olive, sesame, coconut] showed significant reduction in values of S. mutans count, Lactobacillus count, plaque scores, and gingival scores, and this reduction was comparable among all the oil groups. In addition, the reduction in oil groups was also comparable to the "gold standard" chlorhexidine group. So, it can be concluded that these oils can be used as valuable preventive agents in maintaining and improving oral health in low socioeconomic status population. However, it is recommended that further research should be conducted in other populations with a larger sample and longer duration of follow-up period.
Also adding:
In the present study, sesame oil, olive oil, and coconut oil were used for assessing their antimicrobial activity against the oral pathogens responsible for causing dental caries. "Sesame oil" also known as "gingelly oil or til oil" has antifungal, antioxidant, and health promoting activities,[19,20] "Olive oil" has been used medicinally in various times for its health benefits,[21] and "Coconut oil" is a common commodity found in Indian homes, which has anti-microbial effect against a wide range of micro-organisms found within the body.

I have been oil pulling for a while now resulting in better oral health. The only shortcoming of it in my opinion is all the oil going to waste… Recently I started to collect the used oil in a jar where it accumulates very fast and all I can think is whether I can cleanse it somehow – does boiling kill the bacteria maybe and the remains suitable for frying? Or some other useful utilisation of the oil???
I have naturally yellow teeth just like my dentist told me. If I do this OP, will my teeth whiten? And how many days should we do this for a week?
Sesame oil is actually the original and still the best for oil pulling. Coconut oil is probably second but sesame oil is the most effective. Notice they weren't compared in the test mentioned here. Look it up!
Your comment is very helpful. I also got great results with OP and would recommend it to anybody.
My teeth are wither and gums healthier. But a couple of days ago I got cancer sores which might be due to stress levels increased or as a detox reaction since I did OP for even over 30 min at a time!
I found some answers on google where people say to persist with OP during cancer sores, which I will try.
They are awfully painful and I hope OP together with salty water rinses will get me through it soon.

I had bought coconut oil intending to try it, but hadn't yet. Then I got a toothache that lasted for a week and a half and was getting worse. I was really trying to avoid oil pulling or going to the dentist. The first day I tried it the pain went away. I've done it every second to third day and the pain hasn't returned and eating cold foods that were triggering pain before the big toothache has also disappeared. I did it for the full 20 minutes. It wasn't easy; I ironed during that time (something I hate to do). Not sure what to think other than it has worked for me.

I've been doing it since February. Started with a mouthful of amalgam fillings, 12 total. Had 4 wisdom teeth removed a few months ago that were filled with amalgam and had two others done … now 6 more to go!!! The dentist and hygienist both said my gums looked very tight and healthy.

I just left the dentist for a cleaning, not a holistic dentist, I don't have the $ for that yet. Anyway she told me I need to use a fluoride rinse b/c my natural toothpaste doesn't have any. I'm a little confused. Thoughts anyone?
i've found that oil pulling while earthing seems to enhance the effects.
i sit outside while oil pulling, bare feet in direct contact with the earth. leaves me feeling great for hours.

Is implants safe? Can you get blood infections from Dental Implants? Can you get Dementia or Alzheimer from Dental Implants? Peter Falk had a series of dental operations and then developed Alzheimer's. I do not know what kind of dental surgery that he had that he developed Alzheimer's. Can you have a stroke from having surgical implants? I have a lot of problems with my teeth because of the pain medication I have been taking. I developed Severe Fibromyalgia and tried so many different types of medications. I was laid up on the crouch for seven years so when I was finally placed on Fentanyl patches and lollipops for break through pain and it helped that I had a life again, I was thrilled. I did not think about the sugar in the lollipops. That sugar destroyed all most all of my teeth. I have had crowns and many root canals and now the root canals are going bad and I am having to have some of my teeth pulled. One of my front teeth went bad so I am getting ready to have an implant done. I did not want false teeth if possible. I was holding onto my root canal teeth because I felt like they were still my teeth. A friend of my who had all of her teeth pulled now has dementia. She does not wear her false teeth because they hurt her. Her daughter has started her on Coconut Oil. Please reply
Please please please those ppl who have love ones with dementia Parkinson's, Alzheimer's ….. Eventually little by little get all amalgam taken out safely iaomt website then detox the heavy metal out of the body/ system via IV chelation / safe method slowly for life .please !!!!
I have not been able to verify if it is wise to oil pull while pregnant/nursing, or if you have a dental implant (titanium) with a crown (nickel). Anyone have any real information on this?

As a swimming instructor who puts in over 20 hours a week in a pool environment, I've struggled with sinus problems the last 5 years. I began oil pulling about 6 months ago to see if it would help. Yes, it has! The first thing I do in the morning is pop 1/2 tablespoon of coconut oil in my mouth and then for the next 20 plus minutes I swish as I go about my morning routine, It took me a few weeks to not feel repulsed by the coconut oil melting in my mouth, but I'm over that now My sinus are clear, very little mucus in my throat anymore, I hardly blow my nose anymore. Now my husband is pulling oil!
Rachel Worthington via Facebook
Can anyone tell me why it's done first thing in the morning? I like to do it after breakfast… does that mean I'm eating bad bacteria from the night before with my food? :/
i also have the same question.
why does it have to be empty stomach? originally, i thought it would be better right before you sleep? before your regular dental hygiene routine?
also re. mercury filling, would it help detox?

Try even calcium bentonite clay, it re-mineralizes the teeth. Whitens them. Pulls out toxins. Etc.

I've done oil-pulling 20 min every morning for a few months now, and recently noticed something: my molars used to have little black streaks in them, in the natural crooks and crannies. Not cavities, and the dentist never cared, but just there. I figured they were some kind of permanent stain. Well the other day I was inspecting my teeth, and they're gone! All white, all the way around: I didn't even think that was normal or possible!

I've tried oil pulling a few times but never really stuck with it! However, yesterday at my sister's she was telling me she's getting expensive dental work done for periodontal disease, and it made me recommit to oil pulling! I've never had trouble with my teeth (no cavities, ever), but my gums are another matter. So I'm back into it! I used coconut oil the last few times I did it, but the first time I tried it I used sesame oil. At the moment I don't think I have any sesame so I'll stick to coconut, but I'll probably change to sesame when I can pick up some more.

My holistic dentist believes that the true "active ingredient" to oil pulling is our own saliva. Nature gave us our own cleansing system. Swishing anything in our mouths for 20 minutes activates our salivary glands. By the end of 20 minutes, you will be swishing mainly saliva, which is designed by nature to be a powerful mouth cleanser. It is not the oil but the saliva! Her take makes a lot of sense to me.

I started doing it for a bone infection in my jaw. Swelling went down by next day, pain gone after day two, smell and horrible taste (gross I know) by the end of week one. Three weeks in I had a dental cleaning and the hygienist said she'd never seen teeth so clean – there was nothing for her to scrape. On a side note…I have TMJ that is now nothing but a tiny click every once in a while. I used to have to hold my jaw in place if I needed to open my mouth wide or it would move over and lock. I can know open as far as I can and only experience a tiny click and no sliding.

I did oil pulling faithfully for 3 months. I finally had to quit because my teeth turned so so sensitive. Water and food hurt them terribly. As soon as I stopped, the pain and sensitivity stopped. I find that really strange.
Did you use a salt water rinse afterwards? When I first tried oil pulling my teeth hurt really badly, but I read somewhere to do a really thorough rinse with salt water afterwards and when I started doing that, I didn't get sensitive anymore and was able to continue oil pulling.

Also, I despise the taste of coconut, so that wouldn't be an oil I'd choose. The few times I have tried pulling I have used organic avocado oil. As far as I've seen, it falls the right category of what kind of oils to use (cold pressed, organic, etc), but there isn't much to going about it specifically in oil pulling articles. Is it just because it's rarer/newer the general market?

Oil pulling is a good aid, but do yourself a long term health favor and check out the root cause of the secondary infections that are improved by oil pulling, but ultimately caused by primary dental infections. Fully and academically explained in Radical Medicine by Dr. Louisa Williams.
I think sesame oil is best. I love coconut oil for all kinds of things, but my friend who's a registered dental hygienist turned holistic nutrition counselor recommends sesame and says she personally noticed a positive difference over coconut. If we claim to be about doing things the traditional way, sesame is the way to go. Coconut was not traditionally used, though I'm sure it's better than nothing. The study from Huff post mentioned above supports this.

This pure snake oil. Zero studies/science to back this up. Zero
Go to google.com and type in "oil pulling study"
Here's one: Asokan S, Emmadi P, Chamundeswari R. Effect of oil pulling on plaque induced gingivitis: A randomized, controlled, triple-blind study. Indian J Dent Res. 2009;20:47–51. [PubMed]
The oil pulling therapy showed a reduction in the plaque index, modified gingival scores, and total colony count of aerobic microorganisms in the plaque of adolescents with plaque-induced gingivitis.
Oil pulling studies were all done in India and were very poor quality. Oil pulling has also been linked to lipoid pneumonia. This is pure quackery and I cannot believe what people will try. Eat well, brush and floss your teeth and get fluoride treatments. You people have way too much time on your hands if you're doing this for twenty minutes (or more) a day.
Really, Jen…fluoride? Not in our house. In fact, while I don't have scientific studies to back it up, only my own experiences…my teeth are worse when I use a fluoridated toothpaste. I had been on non-fluoride toothpaste for over 2 years and my sensitivities were gone as well has having the best check-ups ever. We switched back to crest or colgate and the last year my teeth have ached more, my checkup were definitely not as good. I'm going back to ordering the other stuff.
A fluoride treatment is something you get at the dentists office. If you are so anti- fluoride then you might want to consider removing water from your diet.
Fluoride??? Agree with you Heather.. I'm not wasting my time explaining why it's now known fluoride is NOT good… I also don't understand why ppl have to be so mean sometimes… This is supposed to be a friendly comment or opinion.. Not accusations… If you don't agree fine.. But don't call it snake oil or bunk.. Just don't DO it! Don't we have enough bashing out there already?? Just my opinion 😉
Jen. It seems like you're the one that needs to learn and read more.
It's been proven that fluoride is toxic and has been associated with disease, has no benefit, and doesn't make your teeth stronger. It's been discontinued in many places in Europe.
Now go do your own research (or do whatever you like, I don't care) because you're the type of person that won't believe it unless you find out for yourself.
I have mercury fillings, many unfortunately but I still oil pull. I love the way my mouth feels afterwards, so fresh and clean. I have been oil pulling for about two years now. Each time I go to the dentist since I have been oil pulling he hasn't had to clean my teeth thru tartar build up its amazing! I haven't had any problems with my fillings and my teeth actually look whiter.
I've been pulling with coconut oil for about a month and love it — my teeth are whiter and less sensitive.
One question after reading this article: is the mucous drainage instantaneous or does it increase as we continue to pull? I've had a wet cough for the last couple of weeks, but didn't think it was correlated with the oil pulling.
Christy Gordon via Facebook
Michelle Dronet
Couple clarifications lest anyone think I'm saying oil pulling is a miracle.
I have no interest in whether you do it or not. During the time period that I have been puling, I floss after every meal and take a K2 supplement. I only dry brush a couple times a week.
I tried to add the link to the article but my comment got rejected. The title of the article is "Oil Pulling Might Be The Next Big Thing — Or Not" and it's on the Huffington Post website.
In my experience, oil pulling works. You'll never see a dentist or anyone associated with ADA to admit it. Too many financial interests. You control your health. Try it. Many people are put off by the time commitment. But it's easy to incorporate into your morning routine. Take a tablespoon of oil, then shower, etc. Goes by fast.
Please don't suggest the HuffPo as an actual, legitimate source of anything…sigh. Too many agendas with them. I realize everyone has an agenda, but she's got the money to back it all up.
My husband can't stand to use coconut oil so he uses sesame oil…I use coconut or sunflower as I can't stand the taste of sesame.
But I've been happy with the results and my teeth do feel cleaner. Twice a day.
As for the time issue….if you shower first thing, do it then. Get dried off and dressed, make up your bed. If you are a coffee or tea drinker, get that started, THEN spit. It's amazing what you can do in that 20 min. For evening? I read in bed while I do it. 😀
Susan –
Yikes – I thought this was a friendly community. I was not suggesting that HuffPo is authoritative. In fact, I conditioned my comment by stating "[t]his is by no means conclusive but wanted to point it out." Did you read the article? And my experiences with oil pulling? The article states that oil pulling reduced harmful mouth bacteria. It seems like my experiences and yours all agree. Not sure why you'd jump on slamming something that supports your assertion. Bad day?
Here is the link:
Love the site. First time commenter.
I've been pulling with sesame oil for about 9 months (20 minutes first thing in the morning). I use unrefined expeller pressed sesame oil. My dentist was shocked when he examined me about 2 months ago. I had ZERO plaque and ZERO inflammation. He was said even the best patients have at least a little inflammation and always some plaque in the tough areas. It works for me. I use sesame oil because it has been used for thousands of years and I will use it until good evidence comes out showing that coconut oil is better.
Here is a recent article from the Huffington Post mentioning an experiment that sesame oil decreased the bad bugs five fold whereas coconut oil only reduced them two fold. This is by no means conclusive but wanted to point it out.
Thanks for the great site.
My local health store only had Edens Unrefined, traditionally pressed sesame oil :/ I got it… It's organic as well. Do you think it will work? expeller pressed versus traditionally .. Wonder what the difference is?! hope it's ok.. Was expensive.. But I don't want to waste time if it won't work because it's traditionally pressed?

^^in addition to 2 weeks not being long enough, Dr. Fife states in his book that oil pulling is a tool that is useful for removing harmful bacteria from the mouth. That is its purpose. If you have an active infection in the mouth, it can pull out the offending bacteria, giving the body the chance to heal itself. It is the body that brings about the cure, not the oil pulling. If the body doesn't heal, it is not because oil pulling did not work, it is because the body was unable to do the healing….you can't expect a cure overnight. Dr. Fife has guidelines for eating and a host of other recommendations to aid healing. I just finished reading his book, Oil Pulling Therapy. I was so convinced by his evidence that I will do this everyday for the rest of my life. If you are serious about healing your body buy the book, it will answer all your questions. Oh and if you have amalgam fillings he addresses that in the book. If the filling comes out its a good thing because if it was that loose there are also bacteria under the filing further decaying your tooth. Get those fillings removed by a dentist trained to do that, they're toxic in your body. Everyone needs to read this book. Oil pulling has been oversimplified as it is simple to do but the consequences of not understanding why you're doing it and then giving it up could leave you with cronic illness or early death.

I had no idea I was doing this. Just added this regimen a month ago. Wanted to get rid of mucous that accumulated in my chest while I slept. My lungs are badly scared. Was rinsing my mouth and teeth with salt and Oreganol oil and clumps of thick viscous mucous would accumulate at the back of my throat and the roof of my mouth. I had to use a tooth brush to scrape it out. Instinctively, I knew to throw the brush away. I couldn't Blv how much better my breathing got. I haven't had to use my nebulizer regularly since trying this. I will definitely try the coconut oil and add a little Oreganol to see the results. Thanks
BTW: I do my Nettie pot an hour afterwards. This deals with the sinus issues I have with pollen, dust and mild spores. I suffer from Aspergilloma.
Alan Santana
I found out that Neem Oil works really good for oil pulling and has many other uses. What I do is that I mix 2tsp of Coconut Oil and 1tsp of Neem Oil to which I then add few drops of 3 different essential oils Cinnamon Leaf, Clove Bud and Oregano. I also add 50mg of Coq10 per Tsp of Coconut/Neem oil.
At times I vary the essential oils using Peppermint, Lavender and others and also do the mixture without the Coq10, without the Neem and so on, just to have different variations, nutrients and health benefits mixed with my oil pulling.
So far it works wonder and my relatives loves it as well.
freqvency, timing, length of oil pulline? what problems you had and what got better/cured?
Alan Santana
I do it at least once per day but normally 3 times daily.
My aim is 30 minutes oil pulling but aim to do it for at least 20 minutes, anything after that is just extra time.
Sinus, a minor infection, very high sensitivity to heat and cold liquids, pain when flossing and sometimes bleeding (in the past.)
– Great improvement on the sensitivity.
– Amazing improvement on the pain when flossing.
– 100% recovery from the bleeding.
– Progress with the infection but still not out. I do have to mention that sometimes I drink and even smoke and that is one reason (in my opinion) why the infection hasn't gone away.
So here is my regimen simplified.
1 – 3x Oil pulling daily for at least 20 minutes
2 – Virgin Coconut Oil, Neem Oil, Coq10 and Essential Oils.
I also have a tone scraper.
I drink water first thing in the morning at room temperature.
I floss at night and brush my teeth twice a day.
Every time after eating anything, I make sure to remove any left over by washing or even slight brushing.
From time to time, I do baking soda toothpaste, mouthwash with H202 (Hydrogen Peroxide), a cool mix of baking soda and apple cider vinegar and then spit it out.
Last but not least, add clove, cinnamon or oregano oil to floss. This can literally burn your lips but done once a week it really helps.
I do all this because I had endless problems with my teeth and going to the dentist wasn't an option. I had to be there. Now I enjoy not going and my mouth health is getting better by the day.
Hope that helps

Can you pull while pregnant or nursing? I have read conflicting things. Anyone have experience? Thanks!

Carie Dittrich a few answers to our oil pulling questions.
Sarah Magnolia via Facebook
I know raw, unrefined coconut oil is the best, but coconut flavor makes me gag. I buy the refined because there is no flavor. Would there be any benefit to oil pulling with the flavorless variety? Because it would be that or nothing here.
Karlana Johnson Pedersen via Facebook
I oil pulled for two weeks with unrefined, organic, pure coconut oil with no results. I have sinus allergies, no help with that either. My kid got sick with the flu, and gave it to me and oil pulling didn't help with any symptoms. I think it's a placebo reaction in people. Where is the data and independent studies from someone other than Dr. Fife?? None. Even the internet backs up their data to Dr. Fife. It's not proven to work independently because it doesn't. Sorry.
Many times when you start to detox, you get sick because the body is actively trying to process out viruses and bacteria. Two weeks is not long enough to know if oil pulling works for you. As stated above, "Oil pulling, or oil gargling, is an ancient detoxification therapy mentioned in Ayurvedic texts": there is your data.
Science studies have been done on it and verify everything you read in the post.
Yeah, I wouldn't use oil pulling when you're sick and don't use it regularly. Trying to detox when you're already sick is not a great idea.
Billa Ramakrishna
first thing, you do know the properties of oil. Then know the method of oil pulling. That is swishing the oil in the mouth backwards, forwards and sideways, slowly without any vigorous force, for 15 to 20 minutes after which the oil being mixed with saliva become watery and milky white in colour which you should not swallow and spit in toilet and clean the toilet with some toilet cleaner. After spitting the oil, clean your mouth with salt water swishing the water 3 to 4 times and then brush your teeth. Do this daily without gaps. After oil pulling, drink 3 to 4 glasses of water. Wait for 1 hour after drinking water. then start to eat or drink what you do. This is not placebo effect really. To find results, do it at least for 3 or 4 months daily. You will definitely see the result.

I've had no filling issues after oil pulling for 8 months. Teeth are brighter and gums feel and look healthier than ever.

You wrote this paragraph:
"Virgin coconut oil is the best choice for oil pulling therapy as it is truly "raw" – unheated, unrefined and may contain micronutrients and co-factors not present in expeller pressed coconut oils which are heated as part of the refining process"
This is insinuating that expeller pressed coconut oils are not unrefined, or they cannot be unrefined. Spectrum brand of expeller pressed coconut oil is unrefined. What do you think of that? I live in Panama and you would think we would have tons of coconut here… but the only brands in the store are Spectrum (unrefined expeller pressed) and in a totally over the wall high end organic store I can find the Nutiva brand for about $30 for a jar smaller than a quart!
Also, I read that in ayurvedic medicine you need to use sesame oil, not coconut oil, for oil pulling?
I use coconut oil for oil pulling. I doubt it really detoxes me (I use essential oils in it) but it sure does clean my mouth.
Here in Panama coconut oil is a liquid because the temperature here is so high. If I want it a solid I have to keep it in the fridge. The liquid oil is so much easy to oil pull with.
Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist
Expeller pressed has no coconut taste and hence has been subjected to heat. Usually it is steam distillation.
I use tropical traditions. its expeller pressed as I can not afford their gold standard yet. and i know people who eat my baked goods who ask if i put coconut in it. they don't know I use that oil yet because of dairy issues either. so it does taste coconut.
Sarah TheHealthyHomeEconomist
I used Tropical Traditions expeller pressed for about 10 years and it never tasted coconut. I recently switched to Wilderness Family Naturals as it seems higher quality to me.

Is this safe while pregnant and with silver fillings?
Alan Santana
It really depends if your fillings are still leaching. If they are several decades old then more likely it won't be a problem but just to be safe I would still skip it until after you give birth.
I would recommend in the meantime using a 3% solution of Hydrogen Peroxide as a mouth wash and also doing gargles with Baking Soda and Apple Cider Vinegar. This will keep the bacterias at bay while you take care of your child in your belly.
Old mercury amalgam fillings still leach continuously after 50 or more years. Please see my comment above, near the top. Safe amalgam removal is advisable in general along with detox protocols that help this process, but not just prior to becoming pregnant or while pregnant or nursing.
So, I do have to have them removed before I pull? I've been pulling with them in. I really want to take them out but not financially possible for me at this time. As Danette mentioned above, if they fall out, I'm worried they will tell me that I need a root canal. Now I'm not sure if I should stop oil pulling or not. Any suggestions?
Sara Butler
It is important to use a 3:1 water/peroxide ratio when swishing regularly with hydrogen peroxide. Swishing with undiluted peroxide everyday can damage your enamel. Straight 3% peroxide is great to use for a couple of days if you want to whiten your teeth though!

I fairly recently started oil pulling and I LOOOOVE it! I always you organic, unrefined coconut oil.
Laura Hish via Facebook
Christine- since you're such a skeptic I thought I would tag you in this. This lady is legit.
Beth McIntyre Humphrey via Facebook
What if you have silver fillings? I've read not to oil pull if you have them…
I have heard this, too. and would like to know the answer….
…see above…
Won't pulling remove good bacteria as well
I suggest that after you swish coconut oil that you spit it into a napkin/tissue and place it in the trash rather than spitting it down the drain since coconut oil solidifies under 76 degrees and can clog pipes.
Interesting. Will have to try this.
By the way, Sarah, your kitchen counters and appliances always sparkle so. Have you ever done a video, or would you do one, on how you do your cleaning without chemicals? I try to use things like white vinegar but I never seem to get that really clean looking shine.
I would also be interested in this!
I read somewhere that you should not do oil pulling if you have metal fillings…is this true? I read that it pulls the toxins from the fillings and can spread them in your body, or something like that. I've avoided oil pulling because of that.
Leo Cashman from DAMS, Dental Amalgam Mercury Solutions, said that he agrees: Do not do oil pulling until all amalgams have been safely removed using the special amalgam removal protocol, performed by a biological/holistic dentist. There have been some bad reactions to oil pulling reported to him by people with mercury amalgam fillings. When oil pulling is done while amalgams are still in the teeth, the oil will likely pick up a large amount of mercury from the amalgam surfaces and it is not desirable to have that mercury swirling around in the mouth during the ten minutes or so while the oil pulling is occurring. He believes that that is why some have reported adverse effects to him. Feel free to contact him for further information: Leo Cashman, DAMS, 651-644-4572, email@example.com
I started oil pulling and had metal fillings, which fell out within a few months. What someone shared, and it made complete sense, is that the fillings will not fall out if there is not bacteria under the filling. As for the mercury moving through your body, there is a lot of info which states it is happening with them in your system. It may be worth trying the oil pulling. If the filling falls out, you are less likely to have the issues that you may have with someone drilling to get them out. Good luck!
you don't swollo when pulling. I read that you should do if you have filling to get the junk out before it goes down in you.
Is oil pulling safe while breastfeeding?
Opinions will always vary on any detox while nursing. I am comfortable with mild and gentle options and have done oil pulling with great results and my babies are all very healthy. I do drink more water and take some kind of green supplement like alfalfa or chlorella. I recommend oil pulling to everyone. You will sleep deeper also.
Thank you for your reply, I was going to ask the same thing! I was OP when I first had my little girl, but stopped due to the fear of the toxins slipping into my milk. But a few other nursing moms I know are doing it & so I think I will start back up again!

Hagan officially filing for Senate
Published: Monday, February 24, 2014 at 11:10 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 24, 2014 at 11:10 a.m.
RALEIGH, N.C. — U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan is officially filing to run for a second six-year term.
The Greensboro Democrat planned to turn in her candidacy papers Monday at the State Board of Elections in Raleigh. She's been preparing for a re-election bid for some time and has several million dollars in her campaign fund.
Four Republicans already have officially entered the GOP primary race and at least two more are expected before Friday's filing deadline.
Hagan has portrayed herself in her first five years in office as a moderate who is willing to work with Republicans. North Carolina GOP candidates say she's gone along with President Obama's policies, including her votes for the health care overhaul.

Our inhouse Windows 2003 Server hosts our company's SVN repository. I'm looking for a secure method, preferably encryption, for the server-side passwords. Right now, they're stored in clear text. Is there a SVN plugin or method that I can use to achieve this?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
SASL is available in most SVN server binaries available for Windows.
Without a doubt the most secure authentication system for SVN is SVN + ssh:// using certificate authentication for SSH. This makes brute force attacks statistically impossible, as an attacker can't use a dictionary.
This also makes MITM attacks more difficult, as you can't intercept a password. Even if you have access to the server you won't have a user's private key, so this takes care of some threats posed by a malicious insider.
If your company uses Active Directory, that's an option.
Check the VisualSVN Server. The Enterprise Edition supports Integrated Windows Authentication (Active Directory Single Sign-On) out of the box. NTLM and Negotiate (SPNEGO) (NTLM and Kerberos) are supported via SSPI.

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
You can use the Enumerable.SequenceEqual() in the System.Linq to compare the contents in the array
You're comparing the object references, and they are not the same. You need to compare the array contents.
.NET2 solution
An option is iterating through the array elements and call
An alternative is using this generic method to compare two generic arrays:
.NET 3.5 or higher solution
Or use SequenceEqual if Linq is available for you (.NET Framework >= 3.5)
There is no static
If you want to check if the arrays contains the same items in the same order, you can use the
To use
If your array has more dimensions than two, you would need an extension that supports that number of dimensions. If the number of dimensions varies, you would need a bit more complex code to loop a variable number of dimensions.
You would of course first make sure that the number of dimensions and the size of the dimensions of the arrays match, before comparing the contents of the arrays.
Edit 2:
Turns out that you can use the
If you want to compare the contents of the arrays you need to loop though the arrays and compare the elements.
The same blog post has an example of how to do this.
To check if the arrays contain identical values (and in the same order), you will need to iterate over them and test equality on each.
Array.Equals() appears to only test for the same instance.
There doesn't appear to be a method that compares the values but it would be very easy to write.
Just compare the lengths, if not equal, return false. Otherwise, loop through each value in the array and determine if they match.

Hey there,
I've been using this plugin for a few months and it's really excellent, does exactly what I need it to. Sadly, I added a picture today on Instagram and since, the gallery doesn't display anymore, instead I get this PHP error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /homepages/##/x#########/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/alpine-photo-tile-for-instagram/gears/alpinebot-primary.php(380) : eval()'d code on line 1
This is my website: http://geekometric.com/
I've tried to go in and edit the code to remove tags, or just the bracket. I also tried to remove any semicolons in case the result was serialized (since there was a comment on a picture with a ";)"), but I haven't made any progress. I didn't find where the code was used so I didn't get the chance to extract the code that is being fed to the eval() function. I've tried searching for this error but the only hits I get are other blogs with the same error.
Any idea how I can fix this?
Thanks a lot for you help!

Following the influx of movie stars for May's film festival, the Mediterranean resort town is now set to welcome the stars of the equestrian world with the fifth leg of the prestigious competition taking place this week.
From Thursday evening, with two CSI5* classes, the biggest names in showjumping will do battle, not on the red carpet, but on the sand of the Hespérides stadium as they prepare for Saturday's Grand Prix, to be run over two rounds.
Eight of May's Longines world top 10 will compete in Cannes, including number one Christian Ahlmann, who won the event in Hamburg and who starts in France as one of the favourites.
Frenchman Kevin Staut, currently ranked second in the world, will be sure to give Ahlmann a run for his money, while Gerco Schroeder, the Dutch world number three, will hope to do likewise.
Australian Edwina Tops-Alexander (fifth), Swiss Steve Guerdat (sixth) and German Ludger Beerbaum (seventh) will also be present, along with Sweden's Rolf-Goran Bengtsson (ninth) and Marcus Ehning of Germany (10th).
Ranked outside the top 10, but nevertheless ones to watch, Ben Maher and Michael Whittaker of Great Britain will be looking to add to their previous victories in London and Madrid respectively.
American Laura Kraut, current leader of the GCT points ranking, will also be aiming to repeat her success at the Wiesbaden leg of the tour.

We continue our trip around the Titans position by position on the eve of the 2012 regular season with a look at the middle linebackers. The Barrett Ruud Experience is mercifully over. The Titans signed the much-maligned former Tampa Bay linebacker last offseason to fill the starter, and even people like me who though Ruud got too much blame last year weren't the least bit sad to see him go. Into Ruud's shoes as the full-time starting linebacker in the middle of the Titans defense stands Colin McCarthy. Last year's fourth-round sensation from the University of Miami got downhill much more aggressively than did Ruud, often a necessary move behind a defensive line that struggled to keep the Mike clean. While McCarthy didn't always make the tackle when he did play aggressively, he made enough of them. McCarthy's zone coverage drops weren't nearly as clean as Ruud's (seriously, that man was an absolute ace at running backwards in a s...

One thing about Tropicana Field: It's unique, as Page 2's Jim Caple can attest. It's the only major league park to feature an artificial surface with complete dirt basebapths. It's the only facility to feature live cownose rays in a 10,000-gallon tank. It has four catwalks, with the one in center field only 59 feet above the playing surface. For those who can't make it out to the World Series, experience what it's like to play baseball inside the Trop.

I'm not sure at which layer this functionality would have to exist, so I'm just tagging this for my own stack.
In my specific case, I'd really like to map the [Function Key]-J key combination to the down arrow, [Function Key]-K combination to the up arrow on my laptop -- in other words, pressing Fn-J would simulate the down arrow being pressed. I'm running Arch+Gnome3.
I guess xkeycaps can't do key-combos. I know you can do custom mappings to various actions in Gnome, but can't re-map keys in this way.
