Love and Distrust Trailer (2010)
16 August 2010 Drama, Romance, Foreign 93 mins
This collection of five short films artfully portrays desire's ability to both empower and destroy those who encounter it. In "The Summer House," sultry teen Jane (Talulah Riley) is courted by a former beau, Richard (Robert Pattinson), during the chaotic summer of 1969. Other tales revolve around a waitress (Amy Adams) desperate to rescue her young daughter, and a techie (James Franco) who uses gadgets to keep emotions at bay.

BSOD playing SWTOR, error 0x00000116
Before I start I dont want you to think im insulting you by not reading around first! Im reading up on your 0x116 troubleshooting thread in the sub forum and im going to start working my way through it. I've just been having some odd problems that have started cropping up since these BSODs did.
These problems started occurring recently (within the last week) playing Star Wars: The Old Republic. I haven't changed any computer settings since I built the thing last October and it has been running a treat until now.
The crashes themselves are strange I do not get a blue screen the display simply fades to black while music continues to play in the background. It then either attempts to reboot or freezes (the music turns to bzzzzt).
At first I thought nothing of it but the frequency increased so I started looking around and saw there was a thread on the games forums about similar problems and talking about a directx corruption (I saw through WhoCrashed that one of my 0X116 was related to dx).
Another odd observation is that performing a repair through the games repair tool seems to solve the problem for a day or 2...
Anyway since then I stopped using the game for fear of damaging the card but I think the damage may already have been done. Sometimes on booting the system the VGA Warning LED (on the motherboard) comes on and I get a BIOS beep code which according to the manual means there is no VGA detected. If I turn the computer off from the mains and then reboot sometime later there is no such issue (though the card appears to be under high load when starting now). Currently idling and browsing like this I do not crash.
I know I should test with another game / benchtests but with the card appearing to become increasingly unstable and failing its POST (think its called that) sometimes, I'm a little worried to push it.
As for temps I play with a monitor open and in windowed mode so I can keep an eye on things and the crash has happened at near idle temps of 31 degrees and the max I can achieve with that game of 65 degrees.
Overclocking wise everything is as it arrived out the box. The 580 matrix is factory overclocked to some level I believe and I think theres some BIOS setting that auto overclocks the CPU based on demand but ill go make sure these are off.

Even if Assad wins, he has already lost
Posted By Mona Yacoubian Tuesday, May 3, 2011
Six weeks into Syria's unprecedented unrest, it seems increasingly apparent that the key cornerstones buttressing President Bashar al Assad's regime — iron-fisted rule and geostrategic depth — may be irreparably damaged. While estimates are nearly impossible to confirm, the regime's ruthless repression has reportedly left more than 500 dead. Yet, ongoing demonstrations signal that the "wall of fear" inside Syria is crumbling. Meanwhile, the regime's crackdown is leading to Syria's deepening isolation, undercutting its ability to leverage its role as a critical player in the region. Taken together, these developments suggest that the Assad regime may not be salvageable in the long run. It may withstand the current unrest, but the brutal tactics required to quell the demonstrations have not only destroyed any shred of legitimacy at home, but will also preempt any possibility of Western engagement. In seeking to preserve itself, the regime is laying the foundations for its ultimate undoing.
Syria is not Tunisia or Egypt. The regime's unraveling will not occur over days or weeks with relatively limited violence. Nor is there a Syrian "Tahrir Square" or CNN's Anderson Cooper covering the events as the world cheers on the protestors. Syria's transformation will be far messier, marked by significant bloodshed and violence, and without the benefit of the international news media's bright lights helping to protect the protestors. There may be little the international community can do to shape the outcome. It will not likely end for months, quite possibly much longer.
To date, there are only limited signs that the unrest has gained critical momentum. Syria's uprising has centered in the countryside, starting in the sleepy southern border town of Dera'a and moving to the coastal cities of Banias and Latakia. But the unrest has not rocked Aleppo, Syria's second largest city and a stronghold of the Sunni merchant class. Nor has the capital Damascus witnessed huge protests in the tens of thousands. Despite unconfirmed reports of splits within the military, the Syrian army still appears intact and willing to obey orders….

ComEd is in the midst of major grid innovations and conservation efforts in the face of climate change, said ComEd CEO Anne Pramaggiore, said on a panel addressing Climate Risk Management and Energy Infrastructure Innovation.
The panel focused on challenges in the water and power utility businesses as well as solutions. Conservation efforts include smart meters that allow customers to monitor their home electricity use directly and energy efficient light bulbs.
Pramaggiore and fellow utility experts addressed the changes in store for the U.S. water and power infrastructure in the face of climate change, providing a glimpse of the future at The Resilient Futures Summit in Evanston, sponsored by the Institute for Sustainability and Energy at Northwestern.
In 2012, ComEd began its commitment to a five-year plan encompassing programs to "refurbish" and significantly improve the grid to reduce energy waste and the risk of power outages. The plan is part of the Energy Infrastructure Modernization Act that allows for a $2.6 billion investment over 10 years, in improving the state's electric grid. ComEd is working on upgrading its physical grid, power outage prevention and social networks that give people on-going access to information about their power usage.
Improvements to the physical grid include replacing more than 4,700 miles of cable with storm hardening, super reinforced cable that is insulated, moving more above ground cable underground, rerouting customers across 2,600 miles of distribution that is isolated so that these customers can regain power faster when outages do occur and more superconducting high capacity cable.
"We are very cognizant of volatility in weather," Pramaggiore said.
Storm resistant, super reinforced cable and the movement of more cable underground will combat the effects of winter ice and summer thunderstorms, both which cause trees to fall on power lines. As for superconducting power lines, these technological wonders also protect power interruption in the face of extreme weather events or even a terrorist strike. If one lead on a cable is damaged, the other leads can be employed to prevent power interruption, she said.
ComEd is promoting energy saving opportunities at the community level with the use of LED light bulbs for streetlights, decreasing energy costs by 75 percent. These lights would function on a wireless mesh network, which would allow ComEd to dim and brighten streetlights remotely.
Smart meters are offered to allow ComEd customers to check their usage at home and allow ComEd to monitor customer's systems remotely. The remote monitoring has avoided 5,000 customer interruptions.
"Smart technology has decreased storm outages by 10 percent. It improves material conduction of the system," Pramaggiore said.
ComEd is working to build a social network where customers can download usage data without printing it on paper.
As Leal puts it, the trend in the utility business is "letting people know what is behind the curtains." Given the modifications to the system that are needed in order to adapt to climate change, utilities need to increase the profits they make from their customers in order to have the finances to refurbish the systems.
There are multiple paths to producing technological advanced, energy efficient systems that are robust enough to hold up to the extreme weather predicted to continue with climate change.
"We are very focused in on an interdisciplinary skill set. We are trying to bring in younger people and create areas within the company that do experimentation," Pramaggiore said. "We are seeking people with innovation."
Water Utilities Expert and former General Manager of San Francisco's Public Utility Commission, Susan Leal, pointed out that people often talk about our carbon footprint, but not about our water footprint.
Leal said that in the United States a person utilizes 1800 gallons of water per day and that food preparation utilizes a great portion. In fact, she cited a statistic regarding the amount of water used to prepare an 8-ounce hamburger not even including the bun to be 654 gallons of water.
"We don't take into account how much water is in the food we eat," Leal said. And as our water supply becomes limited, she questions, "How can we feed 9.5 billion people by 2050?"
One of the solutions, according to Leal is producing technology to make water use more efficient in farming and educate farmers about this technology.
Bruce Stephenson, of the Utilities practice at Bain & Company, says that environmental concerns, consumer interest in renewables such as rooftop solar panels, and environmental policy are all driving changes in another vital resource, the electricity grid.
"It is a fascinating and changing time for the grid," Stephenson said.
Changes to the grid will be seen in its distribution system, as consumers demand more control and convenience in energy delivery. Consumers in higher economic brackets are showing a trend towards generating their own energy with the desire for rooftop solar and rechargeable cars. This tends to be on the wealthier end of the spectrum, as self-generation is expensive.
Such self-generation of energy will cause a cost shift, Stephenson said. But, consumer demands and environmental challenges call for greater flexibility in energy generation, he said.
In the end, changing the grid to meet these demands and challenges will result in cleaner energy, a resilient grid and greater consumer control.

Things To Do in Beauvais & Paris Beauvais Airport Layover Ideas
Things to do in Beauvais if you have a Paris Beauvais Airport Layover or Extended Paris Beauvais Airport Stopover
If you have an extended layover at the Paris Beauvais Airport or staying in town, why not consider getting out with some fun activities? We list a few here and there are many more on Beauvais.LayoverIdeas.com.
It's Paris! So, if you have a layover, be sure to get out and see something of interest with any time you have on your layover.
Eiffel Tower
In Paris there is no better place to go, especially on a clear day, to see all the sights that the city has to offer, than the Eiffel Tower. This world famous 324m high tower epitomises Paris and, if you have the time on your layover, is a must see. If you really want to stretch out that stiffness that comes from sitting on a plane for too long, you can challenge yourself to the stairs, otherwise the lift is available to take you to the top. There you can indulge in views of the city whilst enjoying French food at its finest in the 58 Tour Eiffel or the intimacy and real Parisian elegance of the Jules Verne.
Sacré-Cœur (La Basilique du Sacré Coeur de Montmartre), is the wedding cake-white church rises visibly above the northern parts of Paris. The striking building, with its towers and white onion dome (83 m high), was built in the years between 1875 and 1914 on the birthplace of La Commune. The view over Paris from the dome and from the square before it (200 m above sea level) is unsurpassed, apart from that enjoyed at the Eiffel Tower (50 km on a clear day). For the athletic traveller there are stairs from several directions to the top of the hill; otherwise there is also a funicular which runs every few minutes during the daytime from Place St. Pierre. Follow the signs that say "Funiculaire De Montmartre". Beware that the guards don't like it if they catch you taking pictures inside and will even yell "No photo!" and chase you down if they see you with a camera. Also, beware of this scam: along the lower steps leading up to church, groups of mostly young men gather and reach toward you with a small string, offering to loop it round your finger. Attempts to brush them off will often be met by claims of "No, this is for the church." They will then demand money for the bracelet they make for you, offering it "at a discount".
Père-Lachaise Cemetery
Probably the most visited graveyard in any Western city, the vast Père-Lachaise features literally thousands of often elaborately-decorated graves separated by narrow lanes and avenues. The roll-call of famous burials includes: Chopin, Champollion, Sarah Bernhardt, Edith Piaf, Oscar Wilde, Delacroix, Bizet, Proust, Balzac, Colette, Molière and Jim Morrison of The Doors. Free.
Musée d'Orsay
The Musée d'Orsay is housed in a former Beaux-Arts railway station (completed in 1900 for the Exposition Universelle, later saved from demolition and converted to its present use). This rambling, open-plan museum is home to the works of the great artists of the 19th century (1848-1914) - Impressionists, post-Impressionists, and the rest - that were formerly displayed in the Louvre. This is perhaps the most spectacular collection of European impressionism in the world-- breath-taking rooms full of Manet, Renoir, Monet, Van Gogh, and many others. Impressionist represent the biggest draw, but there is much more to explore.
The headquarters of glitterati shopping, Paris holds a certain something for most shop-a-holics that will mean overflowing excitement at the thought of a layover long enough to indulge your passion. With all manner of shopping districts and malls to choose from, try heading to the Boulevard Haussmann in the 9th arrondissement for your choice of colossal department stores with all the shopping you can handle.
As always, make sure you leave plenty of time to get back to BVA Paris Beauvais Airport in time for your connecting flight. Enjoy your transit city rather than whiling away the time leaning up against your luggage in the departures lounge.

John Van Decker, RFG vice president and research fellow, said IT organizations in general should be looking at acquisitions like Oracle's $5.85 billion purchase of Siebel as a sign of more to come.
"We're seeing Microsoft get into the business intelligence space and I think that's going to put a lot of pressure on BI vendors to start looking for White Knights (to buy them). There's going to be continuing competitive pressure on enterprise application vendors."
"This is what happens in mature markets, there is less choice for customers," said Van Decker.
In the case of Oracle, Van Decker said existing customers have to speak up to make sure the database giant lives up to its promise of supporting the product lines it's acquired or acquiring from Siebel, Peoplesoft and J.D. Edwards. "Over time customers can get screwed unless they voice their concerns," said Van Decker.
Oracle has said repeatedly it plans to continue development of Peoplesoft applications and offer lifetime support of its products. But Van Decker expects Oracle to spend more resources advancing development of its own software, giving customers little choice over time but to migrate to Oracle or elsewhere for advanced features.
"If you want the latest stuff it's going to be on Oracle's Project Fusion," said Van Decker.

text: Okay, it is summer and extremely HOT here (high 90's). So when I am out and about I am often a bit sweaty. If I talk on the phone with it up to my face, of course the screen gets a little wet, but then the screen gets immediately unresponsive. I often have to hit the power button to turn the screen off, wipe the screen, then turn the screen back on to get it to respond. I can usually hang up the phone okay but can't get back to a different screen or push any other areas of the screen. Is this normal? A couple of times I have actually had the phone completely freeze on me and had to do a battery pull.

Alfred Gottschalk, (born March 7, 1930, Oberwesel, Ger.—died Sept. 12, 2009, Cincinnati, Ohio), American rabbi and religious scholar who who, as one of the principal institutional leaders within Reform Judaism, ordained the first women rabbis in the U.S. and Israel and oversaw the creation and development of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. As a Jewish child in Nazi Germany, Gottschalk was witness to pervasive anti-Semitic intimidation, and in 1939 he fled with his family to the U.S. He studied at Brooklyn (N.Y.) College (B.A., 1952) and Hebrew Union College–Jewish Institute of Religion, which, two years after his rabbinical ordination (1957), assigned him to direct its Los Angeles branch. In 1965 Gottschalk received a Ph.D. from the University of Southern California. Six years later he was named president of Hebrew Union, where he preserved its reputation as the intellectual locus of Judaism's liberal Reform movement until his retirement in 2000. A tireless reformer, he founded (1968) the School of Jewish Communal Service in Los Angeles and later served (2000–03) as president of the Museum of Jewish Heritage, New York City.

This course provides a working understanding of the study of universal energy known as Qigong. Qigong increases self-awareness, builds internal energy, and allows one to assist the physical and spiritual healing of themselves and others through movement, breath work, visualization, and sound. These techniques will help relieve physical pain, stress, depression and more.
Spring Forest Qigong Level 2 for Healing
In Spring Forest Qigong Level 2, the participant will learn how increase healing energy and develop the power of visualization to help self and others heal by determining healing specific techniques for over 25 common health conditions including different organ dysfunction, chronic ailments such as diabetes, pain, arthritis, autoimmune disease, reproductive issues and addictions.
Spring Forest Level Three for Advanced Healing
In Level Three, the focus will be on learning to work with more serious physical and mental energy blockages. The primary purpose of Level Three is to help awaken and strengthen spiritual energy and take it to a higher level of consciousness. Attaining this level leads to a more mindful and heart-centered life.
Qi~ssage is a technique that combines energy principles of qigong with the art of massage and can be easily incorporated into a massage, healing session or a stand-alone session. Qi-ssage is a technique for opening the twelve major energy channels in your body and balancing the flow of your body's energy through energy points on the body.
In Qi-ssage, one will learn how to stimulate these key points to draw in the healing energy from the universal consciousness of unconditional love. This workshop will teach how to apply gentle, firm pressure in a rotating motion to stimulate powerful key energy points with fingers and hands in a specific order that will provide for optimum health, healing of many health conditions and well-being.

The Center for Transportation Excellence (CFTE) released a chart showing that 44 of the 57 transportation measures on the ballot in 2010 have passed, for an overall success rate of 77%.
"Yesterday's results at the ballot box reaffirm a decade worth of data demonstrating voters' overwhelming support for investment in public transportation," said CFTE Executive Director Jason Jordan. "Despite the economy and conventional political wisdom about opposition to taxes, voters acknowledged that thoughtful, targeted investments in their communities are vital to restoring and sustaining prosperity."
2010 marked the highest number of measures brought to the ballot in the last ten years.
Notable wins in this year's ballots include:
- A $120 million dollar, six-year program in Fairfax County, Virginia, that will see 400 Metrorail cars, and 500 Metrobuses, the building of new bus garages, maintenance on Metro equipment, and the improvement of safety on any and all Metro equipment;
- A $34.1 million dollar program in Arlington County, Virginia, that will support the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, as well as pedestrian, road, and transportation projects;
- A $90 million dollar investment in Austin, Texas, that will address city issues including sidewalks, bike paths, trails, and transit infrastructure.

Adopt a Gateway Apartment Project
CUMC is partnering with The Samaritan Inn, Collin County's only emergency homeless shelter, on an exciting new project called Gateway Apartments.
Samaritan Inn just started a new transitional living program that offers individuals and families the opportunity to live in an apartment for up to 1 ½ years. During this time, residents are required to participate in all Samaritan Inn programs, which includes remaining drug and alcohol-free during their stay in the program.
Want to help? CUMC is in charge of furnishing and decorating a 1-bedroom transitional apartment. Once a family graduates from the program, they are able to take the entire contents of the apartment to their new residence.
Help furnish and decorate our CUMC apartment by visiting our Target Registry! Click here to see our Target registry or visit your local Target's service desk – search: Jana Grimone, Christ UMC registry.*Be sure to either print it out or have it sent to your phone to have at the check-out counter.
All gifts for the apartment should be turned in to the collection boxes outside of the TOG by Sunday, Oct. 2nd.
If you have questions or want to learn how you can help, contact email@example.com

If you haven't noticed, photos are kind of my thing. I love taking photos, I love editing photos, and I love going through old photos and remembering good times. What I don't love, however, is having that vague idea that you have this photo somewhere but you don't know where you put it. I also don't like realizing that older photos are getting faded and bent because they've been living in boxes with labels like, "Carly – giant pile of photos I haven't gotten around to looking at".
I'm all about scanning and digitalizing old photos, especially the ones that are so old they're of people that might not be around in thirty years. I would much rather know who is who while the who is still here to tell me! That being said, I know that the idea of scanning photos and storing them somewhere is a little overwhelming, which is why companies that digitize things like photos, sides, and home movies have become so popular. I think they're an awesome and convenient option, but since they can get pretty pricy I only use them for things I really can't do on my own (like film).
For photos, it's overwhelming but it's not that hard and I promise you will be so happy that you finally got all of that stuff scanned. So, I'm here to walk you through it in excruciating detail:
(1) You need a computer, a scanner, and an external hard drive. You also need a Google Photos account (my preference) or another online photo storage account like Flickr.
You can pick your own gear out, but here are my affiliate links for the ones that I use and recommend. I'll explain more about them in the steps below.
- Scanner: CanoScan LiDE 220
- External Hard Drive: Seagate 2TB Hard Drive
- Photo Organizer Case (optional – for storing photos safely after scanning): Scrapbooking 1,600 Photo Case
- Fireproof/Waterproof box (optional – for storing larger photos or other important photos, documents, and/or paper memorabilia): SentrySafe
- Computer: MacBook Air (Recommended mainly because it's lightweight and portable – good for scanning at relative's houses or research centers. However, your current computer is likely compatible with the scanner above.)
*Little note here – some of this gear is a little pricey but I believe it's worth the investment so you don't lose your photos. You can quickly spend the same amount if you outsource and have someone else scan them for you. Plus, this way you retain control over your property and avoid any "lost in the mail" disasters.
The scanner I always recommend is the CanoScan LiDE 210 from Canon (affiliate link) because it's very easy to use and it only needs to plug into your USB port for power so you don't have to worry about finding another plug. It's also light and thin enough to be portable and it's easy for me to take my CanoScan and my MacBook Air to the library or to a relative's house to make a few quick scans of something I can't bring home.
For external hard drives, I'm not wildly picky but I usually go for ones that are 1 to 2 TB in size. Larger than that and the hard drives get bulky, smaller than that and I find myself with lots of hard drives all over my house. I would also recommend having one exclusively for photos, just because you don't want to lose scanned photos in between work files and music files. Photos also tend to be the things that people ask you for (at least in my experience) so it makes it easier to have them all in one place when you're hunting around.
(2) Start with your overwhelming pile of photos that are all different sizes.
(3) Take a small handful – just enough to fit on the scanning screen.
(4) Arrange them so that the edges aren't touching and they aren't too close to any of the edges of the screen. Don't worry about whether or not they are upside down – that's easy to fix on your computer when you open the file.
(5) Plug the scanner into the USB port on your computer. Push the "scan" button on your scanner to start the process. If you haven't downloaded the software yet, be sure to do that so your computer knows to open Image Capture when the scan button is pushed.
You only have to push the scan button the first time, to turn the scanner on. It will warm up and then do a preliminary scan (an Overview). The rest of the time, you'll want to start by selecting Overview from the menu. This will let the scanner do a quick pass to show you what it will be scanning.
Be sure that your settings are set (and if they aren't, just fix them and do a new Overview scan). You can mess around with the settings to fit what you're doing, but my preferences are "Colors: Millions" "Resolution: 1,200" and "Auto Selection: Detect Separate Items". The last setting is my favorite because it lets you scan multiple photos at the same time.
(6) After the Overview scan, the program will show dotted lines at the edges of each image to show you where it thinks you want it to scan. Most of the time it gets it right, but images with borders or white backgrounds are a little tricky so drag the lines until it captures the images you want.
(7) Once the lines are correct, hit Scan. The scanner will warm up and scan each image individually.
Once scanned, the photos will show up wherever you directed them. I put them on my desktop so I can find them easily.
(8) At this point, your files are digitized and ready to go. Unfortunately, if you're doing a ton of them you probably won't want to leave them on the computer because they'll pile up and slow things down. So, you'll want to move them to storage and I would say choose at least two different methods so you don't lose it all if something fails.
First, move your files to Google Photos (or you can use a different online photo service, but if you do you might want to skip down a bit). To upload them, just open your Google Photos account and drag your files onto the screen. Google automatically adds them.
You then have the option of creating an album or making a new one. I prefer to put all of the photos into one album with the date that I scanned them and then sort them out later. The great thing about Google Photos is that you can reorganize them easily and you can also add comments to say where the photos was taken and who is in it, etc. Plus, it's the easiest way to share them.
(9) After you've uploaded the photos to an online photo storage system, move on to putting them on your external hard drive. Locate it and set up a folder for the photos. Again, I like to use the date just because it's easiest.
I do usually have two folders because there are occasionally photos that won't upload to Google Photos because they're too big. You probably won't have to do this, but I did tell you I'd show you in excruciating detail.
Drag the photos to that folder and you're done! If you get an error that you already have a file with that name, you can usually use the option to Keep Both and Apply to All. If it just says Skip (and not Keep Both) try selecting and moving a smaller number of files. Sometimes it gets picky if you're moving more than two or three.
Once the files are in there, you're set! You can drag the files off of your desktop (or wherever they originally scanned to on your computer) and put them in the trash so they don't take up storage space. You now have them saved online and to your dedicated photos external hard drive.
Obviously, the perks of having digitized photos are many, but I mostly love that I can share them easily and that I can blow up super small photos and turn them into larger prints for gifts. I also use Photoshop to fix things like scratches and rips or to color correct faded photos before using online album services to make photo books.
Another way to share family photos is to set up a profile on Ancestry.com, which allows you to assign photos to certain people and make them searchable. I always get excited when I find photos other people have uploaded that I've never seen before, so I like to contribute to that service.
You can also share them on Facebook, although if you have a ton I would recommend either setting up an album and sharing them all at once or setting up a private group and only adding people who would be interested. I've had my feed clogged before by someone who has hit a sudden genealogy bend and I have to admit that other people's family photos can get a little tiresome if you're just skimming your Timeline.
Plus, family Facebook groups are helpful if you don't know who everyone in the photos is!
Feeling inspired yet? I hope so! It's such a rewarding project and a really nice thing to take on for relatives who don't want to dig all their old photo books out. Let me know if you have any questions!

WaterFlosser.org has compiled a helpful guide that shows people what their machines can do and where to find them for the best bargain.
(PRWEB) August 27, 2016
The effects of flossing have been long-ingrained into the hearts and mind of American across the country. People can remember a time when their parents told them to floss and their parents can say they were probably told the same by their grandparents. It wasn't until recently that the effects of flossing had little to no evidence that they had any use at all. "Everyone around the world gave a sigh of relief," said spokesman for WaterFlosser.org Jeffrey Atkins.
The use of floss is a bit of a painful process for most and tends to be unbearable for those that suffer from sensitive teeth and gums. The team at WaterFlosser.org is helping people make the transition by releasing a new set for guides to show them a different type of flossing that has proven results for killing 99% of bacteria, preventing mouth diseases like gingivitis and plaque development, and is even soothing to sensitive mouths everywhere.
Water flossers are inexpensive machines that use water pressure to clean the mouth effortlessly. WaterFlosser.org is a company dedicated to providing people with free information about these machines and where they can buy them for the lowest price, typically averaging between $30-50 dollars. To help people make the switch from the regular flossing routine to these tried and true instruments of oral hygiene, the team at WaterFlosser.org has compiled a helpful guide that shows people what their machines can do and where to find them for the best bargain.
WaterFlosser.org's Water Flosser Guide
The guide first goes through what a water flosser is and how it work. People are usually skeptical when they've never heard of these machines, so the guide goes into how these flossers generate force and pulsates a steady flow of water to clean every inch of the mouth, effectively doing what regular floss could never achieve.
WaterFlosser.org gives people a breakdown of why these devices are so effective and who best would benefit from them, taking an honest approach to each machine.
Next, the guide shift focus to provide people with the top selling water flossers and where people can get one. The newly released articles go into extreme detail about the top-performing models.
Burch and his team know that if people new to these machines are willing to give them a try they are confident that these devices will become the new common means of flossing, given their proven ability to improve oral health and develop a better smile.
People can find more information about the best-selling water flossers and how they can help improve oral health by going to the site's main page as well.

Friedman: Thoughts on Memorial Day 2050
Thomas Friedman says we should make climate change issues a priority so unborn generations can honor us.
Updated 6:04 pm, Sunday, May 25, 2014
Of the many things being said about climate change lately, none was more eloquent than the point made by Gov. Jay Inslee of Washington state in the Showtime series "Years of Living Dangerously," when he observed: "We're the first generation to feel the impact of climate change and the last generation that can do something about it."
The question is how do we motivate people to do something about it at the scale required, when many remain skeptical or preoccupied with the demands of daily life - and when climate scientists themselves caution that it is impossible to attribute any weather event to climate change.
Andrew Sullivan's Dish blog last week linked to a very novel approach offered by Thomas Wells, a Dutch philosopher: Since climate change and environmental degradation pit the present against the future, our generation versus those unborn, we should start by giving the future a voice in our present politics.
"Even if we can't know what future citizens will actually value and believe in, we can still consider their interests, on the reasonable assumption that they will somewhat resemble our own (everybody needs breathable air, for example)," wrote Wells in Aeon Magazine. Since "our ethical values point one way, towards intergenerational responsibility, but our political system points another, towards the short-term horizon of the next election," we "should consider introducing agents who can vote in a far-seeing and impartial way."
Wells suggests creating a public "trusteeship" of nongovernmental civic and charitable foundations, environmental groups and nonpartisan think tanks "and give them each equal shares of a block of votes adding up to, say, 10 percent of the electorate," so they can represent issues like "de-carbonizing the economy" and "guaranteeing pension entitlements" for the unborn generation that will be impacted but has no vote.
Unrealistic, I know, but the need to incorporate longer time scales into our societal choices is very real - and right in the lap of our generation.
One way to get us to act with an intergenerational perspective is to enlarge the problem beyond climate - to make people understand that this is our generation's freedom struggle. The abiding strategy of our parents' generation was "containment" of communism in order to be free. The abiding strategy of our generation has to be "resilience." We will only be free to live the lives we want if we make our cities, country and planet more resilient.
Even if we can't attribute any particular storm to climate change, by continually pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere we are "loading the dice" in ways that climate scientists are convinced will continue to raise average temperatures, melt more ice, raise sea levels, warm oceans and make "normal" droughts drier, heat waves hotter, rainstorms more violent and the most disruptive storms even more disruptive. It is crazy to keep loading those dice and making ourselves more vulnerable to disruptions that will make us less free to live the lives we want. How free will we be when paying the exorbitant cleanup costs of endless weather extremes?
Moreover, acting today as if climate change requires an urgent response - like replacing income and corporate taxes with a carbon tax, introducing a national renewable portfolio standard to constantly stimulate more renewable energy and raising the efficiency standards for every home, building and vehicle - actually makes us healthier, more prosperous and more resilient, even if climate change turns out to be overblown. We would end up with cleaner air and a tax structure that rewards more of what we want (work and investment) and disincentivizes what we don't want (carbon pollution). We would be taking money away from the worst enemies of freedom on the planet, the world's petro-dictators; and we would be incentivizing our industries to take the lead in manufacturing clean air, water and power systems, which will be in huge demand on a planet going from 7 billion to 9 billion people by 2050.
Let's act so the next generation will want to honor us with a Memorial Day, the way we honor the sacrifice of previous generations.

Sneakers: Allbirds // Overalls: Cheap Moday // Open Back Twist Tank: T by Alexander Wang // Sunglasses: TOMS // Bag: Rebecca Minkoff // Detachable Strap: Rebecca Minkoff // Watch: Apple
My shoes are distinctly separated into 2 categories: "Comfortable" & "Not."
…And believe it or not, the majority of my time is spent wearing the selection from the "comfortable" category! Yes, yes, I STILL LOVE MY HIGH HEELS, obviously…but I have become quite fond of slipping my tired old soles into shoes that comfiness compares to a big 'ol bear hug!
For the longest time, when I wanted to wear a comfy sneaker, I would reach for my same athletic shoes that I would wear to the gym. But as my casual wardrobe has expanded, I have been excited to add to my casual sneaker collection, too….& my new AllBirds Wool Runner tennis shoes have made themselves right at home in my closet…and on my feet! Not only is the wool fabric the MOST SURPRISINGLY COMFORTABLE FABRIC EVER, but it also wicks again odor & sweat if you're a anti-sneaker-sock-wearer like me! And not only do these sneakers go with my workout gear to wear when I am headed to spin class, but they also work with everyday denim looks, too!
Who knew THIS GAL could love sneakers so much?!

*Thank you to AllBirds for changing the way I look at my comfy shoes & sponsoring this post!

ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Denarius Moore, with 37 catches for 569 yards, has an outside shot at becoming the Oakland Raiders' first 1,000-yard receiver since Randy Moss in 2005.
Instead, Moore, is more likely to miss this weekend's game against the Tennessee Titans.
Moore, nursing a sore shoulder, missed his second straight practice this week, along with defensive end Jason Hunter, running back Darren McFadden, and strong safety Tyvon Branch.
"Several guys need to step up," said Raiders coach Dennis Allen, in the event Moore is unable to play. "It will give Brice Butler another opportunity, Andre Holmes would be a guy that would be able to step in there, Jacoby Ford. Those guys would have to step up for us in the passing game.
"Next man up. Somebody's going to have to step up and perform."
Quarterback Terrelle Pryor, now the backup to Matt McGloin, "moved around well" on his sprained right knee, Allen said.
"Hopefully he's healthy enough to go," Allen said, "and if he is, he'll be up on Sunday."
And if Hunter cannot play, Allen mentioned the likes of defensive tackle Vance Walker and defensive ends Ryan Robinson and Brian Sanford as potential replacements.
Also, Allen said he watched some of strong safety Tyvon Branch's side workout Thursday.
"He moved around better today," Allen said. "His football-related activity has increased, so he's another guy that I'm hoping that is getting pretty close."
There were no changes in the Raiders' injury report from the day before. Following, then, is the Raiders' injury report for Thursday:
Did not participate: SS Tyvon Branch (ankle), DE Jason Hunter (foot), RB Darren McFadden (right hamstring), Denarius Moore (shoulder)
Limited practice: RG Mike Brisiel (ankle/knee), WR Juron Criner (right shoulder), WR Andre Holmes (shoulder), LB Kaluka Maiava (ribs), RT Matt McCants (toe), DT Daniel Muir (knee), QB Terrelle Pryor (knee)

Johannesburg - The Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory on Monday sent condolences to the family of Land Claims Court Judge President Fikile Bam."We will remember Bam as a patriot and a leading legal mind in South Africa," spokesperson Sello Hatang said.Bam passed away on Sunday after a long battle with cancer. He was also the founder, a trustee and staff member of the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory at the time of his death.Hatang related the friendship Bam enjoyed with former president Nelson Mandela while they were serving time on Robben Island."As a law student in the 1950s, Bam only saw Nelson Mandela from a distance, but he later shared a prison cell with him on Robben Island from 1964 to 1974" he said."Every year Mandela would save the sweets he was allowed to buy on Christmas Day and give them to Bam on his birthday."Bam was born on July 18 1937 in Tsolo, in the Eastern Cape. He attended St Peters Secondary School and went on to study law at the University of Cape Town in 1960.
I am sending you this message to deliver my personal condolences to you and your family at such a difficult time. We are just a call away for any kind of assistance that you may need.

Norwegian Medical Students' Association (NMSA)
"We see a strong healthcare system with well-qualified and responsible healthcare professionals and access to medicines as necessary parts of the human right to live a dignified life in good health. NMSA's overall mission is to sustain this universal fact."
NMSA is the student body of the Norwegian Medical Association (NMA). It was created the 1st of January 2009 when the former medical student body of the NMA merged with former IFMSA-Norway. NMSA is therefore an organization with roots in both NMA and the International Federation of Medical Students' Associations (IFMSA).
Our work is divided into the following three standing committees
- Standing Committee on Medical Education (SCOME)
- Standing Committee on Professional Exchange (SCOPE)
- Standing Committee on Research Exchange (SCORE)
- A standing committee on project development composed by joining the Standing Committee on Human Rights and Peace (SCORP) and the Standing Committee on Public Health (SCOPH)
We work with national issues on how to improve the residential clinical training of graduated medical students and various aspects of our medical education. We also want to put the spotlight on national health issues which not always are at the centre of media attention.
As we are a part of the IFMSA, we want to stay true to the federation`s mission statement we accept by being members:
"Our mission is to offer future physicians a comprehensive introduction to global health issues. Through our programming and opportunities, we develop culturally sensitive students of medicine, intent on influencing the transnational inequalities that shape the health of our planet"
We are aware of the tremendous challenges that lie ahead in the field of global health. We believe that doctors of tomorrow should have knowledge about health issues which exists outside our geographic borders, and thus be able to respond to and influence these inqequalities. NMSA will take a more active involvement towards international health and will strive to become a serious voice in this debate. This will be visible as we develop different projects and campaigns related to global health.

Review for Big Apple Greeter, New York, NY, USA
Four of us (plus our 1.5 year old) visited New York in 2008 for my 40th Birthday.
Our Big Apple greeter was a wonderful woman who showed us how to negotiate the underground (subway) with a buggy (stroller). She was very knowledgeable and courteous. We will be visiting again this year (2011) and look forward to meeting another greeter!
Excellent service everyone who visits New York should arrange for a greeter as it sets you up for what to expect and how the city works.

Educational and Fun iPad Apps for Kids {Giveaway}
If only I could have the money back I've wasted on "educational" apps for kids. Honestly, I'd pretty much thrown my hands in the air and given up on finding anything that combined learning and entertainment well. A really engaging age-appropriate game seemed to have little to no educational value. Meanwhile, other apps that promised to provide a "fun" learning experience, seemed to bore us all to tears. Or time and time again, they weren't properly programmed for the age group – a math game for a preschool/kindergarten level required 3rd grade reading skills, a phonics game wasn't challenging at all, etc.
Needless to say, I was a tad skeptical when my friend Lindsey contacted me about reviewing some of their games that Evanced Games was getting ready to launch over the summer. However, I trusted Lindsey as a former solid teacher I used to collaborate with pre-quads.
She introduced us to some of the games developed by Evanced Games that are developed not only by some amazing artists, programmers, and designers but EDUCATORS as well. I hugged her. Really, I did.
And the boys? Well they had an absolute blast and couldn't wait to download them at home. See for yourselves!

My laptop has crashed and when I restarted it went to a check disc screen saying my c: drive needed to be checked for consistency. It said to press any key to skip this and gave a countdown of 10 seconds. I pressed several keys but nothing worked and it got stuck. My laptop then went into sleep mode after a couple of hours. I tried rebooting and the same thing has happened, it's completely stuck! I am due back on my client site tomorrow and ALL of my work is on my laptop. I cannot get into my laptop AT ALL.

Welcome to the Seven Forums! kiwi chick
Was the 64bit 7 installation preinstalled or did you see a custom install there? Most often one of two things will cause the check disk scan to be seen. 1)registry error or boot file 2)problem of some type with hard drive
If you custom installed 7 you would need to try booting with the 7 dvd in order to access the repair tools for the startup repair or even trying the restore point to solve a software/Windows related problem. For an older laptop where 7 had been the upgrade the drive could now be seeing bad sectors or on the way out where a drive diagnostics tool would be the thought.
For a brand new or just recently bought model seeing the 64bit 7 preinstalled you would look at coverage under warranty for any possible hardware issue. Without a recovery disk you would need a live repair cd for the repair tools however if you never used the option included in Windows for creating a repair cd. An iso image for this you would need to burn to a cd-r can be downloaded free at Download Windows 7 System Recovery Discs — The NeoSmart Files
In the meantime you can try pressing the F8 button to see if you can boot into safe mode where at least you will have access to your files while in a limited desktop. Sounds like the drive was marked dirty when something corrupted the boot files where you may not even be able to boot into the safe mode.

Thanks for your reply. I purchased my laptop recently and it came with Win7 preinstalled. It did not come with a repair cd. If I burn the cd from the link you've posted and then boot with that, will it just repair the bad sectors or will it wipe my hard drive? Thanks. PS: I'm leaving for my customer site in 90 mins and will not have any internet access so a quick reply will be really appreciated. Thanks.

The repair tools cd are the exact same repair tools included on the 7 installation disk whether upgrade or full install version. The images there are provided free by neosmart mainly for those like yourself running laptop or desktop where Windows was preinstalled but no recovery disk was provided for quick repairs. The repair tools are for problems with Windows not for hard drive repairs.
The startup repair tool would help for the effort of finding what is preventing a normal startup. That won't wipe anything from your drive but make the automated attempt at repair. If you are able to get into safe mode or from the command prompt option when booted from the repair cd you could reschedule the check disk tool only with the repair switch added at the end. "chkdsk /r" to see that take the check disk tool out of the loop with the switch added for a newly scheduled run.
You sort of give the check disk tool a slap in the back of the head to wake it up with a new run scheduled to see if that breaks the looping problem.

I am trying to decide how to order the black label burger. I know I should order it medium rare and I have ordered burgers from other places medium rare however they usually over cook them. I always order my steak medium rare. From the pictures I have seen it looks like Minetta's medium rare is a true medium rare. I am okay with a burger being pink throughout with a touch of red as long as it does not taste raw and the center is not cool. I also don't want the center to have what I would describe as a raw texture.
I have ordered plenty of burgers medium and have been disappointed because they are overcooked however I don't want a raw tasting burger. I just want the rarest, juiciest burger possible without it tasting undercooked. How should I order it?

Bowel Cancer Awareness Month
How you can raise awareness of bowel cancer screening:
- Over 60? (or in Scotland and over 50?), take the test when you receive it in the post.
- If you are younger, tell the people over 60 (or over 50 in Scotland) in your life, to take the test.
Why is screening so important
Screening can detect bowel cancer early before any symptoms appear, when it is easier to treat. It can also prevent bowel cancer from developing in the first place by picking up non-cancerous growths (polyps) which could become cancerous in the future.
Bowel cancer is the UK's second biggest cancer killer but it is treatable and curable especially if diagnosed early. Nearly everyone diagnosed at the earliest stage will survive bowel cancer however, this drops significantly as the disease develops. Taking part in bowel cancer screening is the best way to get diagnosed early and early diagnosis saves lives.
How does screening work
If you're registered with a GP and aged 60-74 (50-74 in Scotland), you will receive a free NHS bowel cancer screening test in the post every two years.
You have to collect three samples of your poo, over a maximum of two weeks (10 days in Scotland), and send it back in the hygienically-sealed freepost envelope provided. You carry out the simple test at home in private and it comes with clear step by step instructions. The test looks for hidden blood in your poo, which could be an early sign of bowel cancer.
You usually get the results of your test in about two weeks.
Most people have a normal result. If this happens, you will receive a test again in two years but see your GP if you have any symptoms in the meantime.
If the results aren't clear, you might be asked to do the test again.
If blood is found in your poo sample, you will be offered more tests to take a closer look at what might be causing this. This doesn't mean you definitely have cancer as it could be as a result of a non-cancerous polyp or another health problem. But it is definitely worth investigating. If it is cancer, the earlier it is diagnosed the quicker it can be treated and the greater the chance of survival.
Whatever your age, if you have any symptoms you are worried about, speak to your GP.
If you have any questions or are over 75 and would like to request a kit, contact your local screening programme:
- England 0800 707 60 60
- Scotland 0800 0121 833
- Wales 0800 294 3370
- Northern Ireland 0800 015 2514
