GT 130M driver problem
I installed W7 on my friend's computer, then installed drivers. There was no problem until I installed nvidia graphics driver. After bios and windows loading screen, screen becomes black. I'm sure that I am installing the right driver, his graphic card is geforce gt 130m. And I downloaded the last driver from Nvidia's site. I reinstalled it by opening the computer in safe mode, after it didn't work, I also installed an older driver for this card. Same thing happened. How can i solve this problem?

DepthSense™ 311 Professional Kit Now Able to Track from 15 centimeters, Enabling Laptop And Tablet Capability
BRUSSELS & LAS VEGAS – January 9, 2012 – SoftKinetic™, the leading developer of end-to-end gesture recognition solutions, today announced that its popular current generation DepthSense™ 311 (DS311) gesture recognition camera solution now includes the ability to track gesture commands as close as 15 centimeters.
The upgraded system will allow highly reliable depth tracking for users, for example tracking user's hands and face at close range. The SoftKinetic new driver opens the door to near mode application on systems such as laptops and tablet devices. SoftKinetic will be demonstrating this technology at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), beginning tomorrow, in the South Hall, Upper Level, Booth 36062.
"We are pleased to be able to offer the world's first near mode, depth-sensing camera," said Michel Tombroff, CEO of SoftKinetic. "We predict that this affordable and powerful technology will open up endless opportunities for implementation and usher in a new era of gesture recognition for laptops, tablets and other personal electronics."
The DS311 combines an RGB sensor (VGA), SoftKinetic's depth sensor (QQVGA) and two microphones. Utilizing the patented DepthSense CMOS chip, the DS311 provides state-of-the art sensitivity and depth resolution. With optimal system performance, developers and OEM partners will be able to utilize the camera for gesture-based applications such as video games, interactive advertising walls, touch- and controller-less user interfaces and other exciting new user experiences, regardless of platform. All of this will be employed without the customary distance limitations of other camera systems.
The first implementation of the DS311 near mode drivers is now available. Interested developers are encouraged to contact SoftKinetic as soon as possible.
SoftKinetic's vision is to transform the way people interact with the digital world. SoftKinetic is the leading provider of gesture-based platforms for the consumer electronics and professional markets. The company offers a complete family of 3D imaging and gesture recognition solutions, including patented 3D CMOS time-of-flight sensors and cameras (DepthSense™ family of products, formerly known as Optrima product family), multi-platform and multi-camera 3D gesture recognition middleware and tools (iisu™ family of products) as well as games and applications from SoftKinetic Studios.
With over 8 years of R&D on both hardware and software, SoftKinetic solutions have already been successfully used in the field of interactive digital entertainment, consumer electronics, health care and other professional markets (such as digital signage and medical systems).

Friends are coming through town on Sunday and would like to meet me sometime around noon for lunch or brunch. They are driving from Truckee to SF and don't know Sacramento, so I'd like to find some place that isn't far off highway 80, the 29-30, the W-X, or I-5 (Old Sac, maybe?) Even West Sac will do. Since they cannot predict exactly when they will arrive, I can't make reservations. I'm looking for a place for brunch or lunch that is easy to find and easy to get in without a reservation.
I have some ideas, but I'd love to hear what other folks would do if you had my dilemma.

Arsenal lifted the FA Women's Cup for the seventh time in 10 years by beating Bristol Academy 3-0 at Doncaster's Keepmoat Stadium on Sunday.
Steph Houghton ensured the Gunners got off to the perfect start by heading home Rachel Yankey's cross in the second minute.
And Jordan Nobbs added a second midway through the second half to seal victory in a match the north London club controlled before Ellen White tapped in a late third.
Arsenal were missing experienced England international Kelly Smith due to injury, so White started alone in attack, while Bristol top scorer Laura del Rio was fit enough only to take a place on the bench.
Shelley Kerr's team have stuttered in their opening two matches in the Women's Super League this season, collecting only one point from a possible four, but got off to the perfect start in South Yorkshire.
Yankey was allowed too much space on the left-hand side and floated a cross to the back post which Houghton, who had burst forward from central midfield, carefully guided past Siobhan Chamberlain.
Bristol were nearly gifted an immediate reply when Kim Little, believing a corner from the right was heading out of play, allowed the ball to bounce off the near post but Jemma Rose could not keep her shot down.
From then on, Arsenal were in control. Ellen White made contact with another superb Yankey delivery to force Chamberlain into a tipped save before Nobbs hit the post after a surging run.
Chamberlain was called into action again before half-time by Gunners right-back Alex Scott, who saw her powerful 25-yard drive turned around the far post.
Bristol held on until half-time, though, and had made an encouraging start to the second half before they were dealt a double blow.
After Lucy Staniforth had been forced off in some pain with a knee injury, the impressive Nobbs doubled Arsenal's lead with a looping header after Gemma Davison had crossed to the back post.
Bristol threw bodies forward in the closing stages in search of a goal that would reignite the game but Arsenal continued to have the better of the chances as gaps opened up on the counterattack.
White had been denied all afternoon by Chamberlain, without whom Arsenal's lead could have been much more comfortable, but finally grabbed a deserved third by pouncing on a rebound after the goalkeeper had superbly denied Nobbs from inside the box.

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford conspired with prisoners to shatter the teeth and break the leg of his sister's jailed ex-boyfriend to keep him quiet about the troubled politician's alcohol and drug abuse, a new lawsuit alleges.
Dennis Morris, Ford's lawyer, told The Globe and Mail on Wednesday that the allegations in the lawsuit are "without fact or foundation."
Scott MacIntyre, 46, was assaulted in the shower at the Toronto West Detention Centre in March 2010, The Globe and Mail reported. According to MacIntyre, the beating — which allegedly came at the hands of a 300-pound violent criminal who once played football for Ford when he was a coach at a Catholic secondary school – came after several weeks of veiled threats from inmates.
"They wanted to know if I was going to do the right thing – was I going to keep my mouth shut," MacIntyre told The Globe and Mail.
MacIntyre, whom the Toronto Sun described as the ex-boyfriend of Ford's sister, Kathy, filed the lawsuit in Toronto on Wednesday.

It seems like some people just CAN'T be Reached, UNTIL they KNOW more about me, which requires them to read my book. Then, people understand what they are dealing with. But, many people seem to learn their lesson far too late. Sad, in this "Modern Age." Just like "Pearl Harbor," was warned of impending doom, but the managers simply IGNORED and DENIED the red flags and warnings and then it was too late. Just like Noah was IGNORED and DENIED by his people, but NOAH got the last laugh. WHY is man so STUPID and BLIND? Read my new book to find out WHY. KD

Take heart! You still have one follower.
Here's the deal . . . you can't just promote your book like a sidewalk hawker around here. You should write Hubs about what interests you. Obviously, you are interested in God's kingdom, prophesy, and salvation. Write about those things in a self contained article we call a hub. Add some links to pertinent sites. Put up a video and some photos. You already know how. Make it engaging.
If you want to peddle the book, do it from your profile. No problem. The Hub should be able to stand on it's own like a magazine article, not an ad for something. Some people write about cactus and sell tweezers, but they do it through an Amazon or Ebay capsule. Is your book on Amazon?
I have some wisdom from above for you. Be creative and quit moaning. Work the gig, You have a book to sell!
As WD said, writing some hubs here is an excellent way for people to get to KNOW WHO YOU ARE! It is also a good way to get information out to the public who may be interested in your style.
Most on Hubpages like writing and many use this skill to do some promoting at the same time. It really does a dis-service though to just hang a banner and say "read my book" to learn more. If you are as creative and deep as I hope you are, your writing would probably be very enjoyable and would certainly be a suitable way to reach people.
I wish you luck, and look forward to getting to know you and your writing style.

For the three sisters — Esperanza, Angelina and Amada — the 50-year search for the body of their father began with a gunshot on March 3, 1951. Before the fatal ambush, Nicolas Martinez Rubio had been a guerilla fighting General Francisco Franco. When an underground communications network in the central Spanish province of Cuenca informed the sisters of their father's death, they could not have imagined how long it would take to recover his remains.
If it was any comfort, they were far from alone.
During the Spanish Civil War and Franco's brutal right-wing dictatorship, thousands of Spaniards were shot and buried by the roadside, in the woods, or outside cemetery walls in unmarked, often mass graves. Although Spain has remained a polarized society, political leadership leaning right and left have clung to a pact of silence embodied in a 1977 General Amnesty, the first law passed by a new, democratic parliament in Madrid. It was, as one politician described it at the time, "an amnesty for everyone and forgetting by everyone."
Enter Spanish super judge in Baltasar Garzon to put history right. From his seat on Spain's National Court, Garzon has garnered an international reputation as a champion of human rights and justice indicting Osama Bin Laden and former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet. In October, 2008, in an effort to indict General Franco and other military leaders, he launched the largest ever investigation of those "forgotten" murders.
Garzon argued that the killings and forced detentions constitute crimes against humanity and are excluded from the Amnesty Law. But prosecutors skirted the argument by challenging his jurisdiction to pursue the case. The court agreed, and the cases are now deferred to an uncertain future in regional courts.
Despite the difficulties with jurisdiction — let alone the challenges of bringing the defendants, all deceased, to trial — Garzon's initiative was widely applauded by victims' relatives, eager for official recognition of the injustice. The judges' investigation compiled the first comprehensive list of Spain's 114,226 desaparecidos (disappeared).
Failure to resolve this chapter of Spain's past keeps the country divided along the ideological trench lines dug deep during the Spanish Civil War. Right-wingers are still referred to as fachas (fascists), leftists as rojos (reds, or commies).
It is in this charged context that the survivors of many victims are striving to give their loved ones a proper burial. Some towns provide subsidies to investigate, exhume bodies and conduct DNA tests. But in many cases, the families have to fend for themselves, a fact that, naturally, divides Spain.
"The exhumations should be backed and paid for by the government. These people were insignificant during the dictatorship and are insignificant in our democracy," asserted Emilio Silva, president of the Association for the Recovery of Historical Memory, whose grandfather was shot and buried by a roadside with a dozen other people.
Silva argued that political pressures wrongly put a stop to Garzon's investigation. Ricardo de la Cierva disagreed. A historian whose father was assassinated with hundreds of others by forces opposing Franco, de la Cierva criticized the celebrity judge's initiative as "a judicial coup, an atrocity." He concured with leaders from across Spain's political spectrum who oppose digging up the country's bloodstained past.
Recent years have seen numerous books, movies and exhibitions tell the losers' side of the story, amidst charges that these exposes stir up a past best left alone. Meanwhile, the Catholic Church has called on people to forget the past, in order to avoid "violent confrontations." Yet in 2007 it was the Church — which generally backed Franco's brand of "Catholic Nationalism" — that saw to the beatification of 500 "martyrs" killed by anti-Franco forces during the civil war.
Nicolas's daughter Esperanza, now 82 years old and hardened by the 15 years she spent in prison as a guerrillera, insisted, "The guerrilla was the last effort against Franco, and I want that to be recognized. We're still being treated as bandits, and the guerrilla — an uprising against an illegal government — is considered terrorism." She and her siblings spent years visiting town halls, asking about their father. One day, a man who as a child had witnessed the assassination learned they were looking for Nicolas and let them know where he was buried.
Thousands of other relatives are hoping that local judges will pick up the mantle of Judge Garzon's investigation. Many fear that forgetting Spain's desaparecidos will remain easier than searching them out and reconciling their stories with modern Spain. But international pressure is mounting. The UN Human Rights Commission recently recommended the abolition of Spain's 1977 Amnesty Law.
Bolstered by Judge Garzon's initiative, some victims' groups say they will put their case before the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg if needed. The survivors' unwillingness to forget burns like a candle in the shadows where Spain's Civil War legacy lingers.

Both of my sons are Jewish, and they as of yet have not visited Israel. One of these days, I want to be able to go there with them. But for pretty much the whole span of my 41 years of life, Israel has not seemed like the sort of place that a responsible parent brings their kids. Brief periods of peace are interspersed with intense paroxysms of violence.
You've got hatreds that go back generations. You've got competing claims on the land. You've got radically different faith perspectives, which weave up into those claims on the land. But it's not just Israel and the Palestinians. You've got a broader situation in the Middle East that is insanely convoluted, in which a significant proportion of the Arab world can barely be grudgingly dragged to admitting Israel has any right to exist at all.
The Holy Land is a total sociopolitical mess. Same as it ever was...
All this adds up to a conflict between parties that every now and again drops from level five to level four, but then pops right back up again, like one of the torments of Tantalus if he'd been a conflict mediation specialist. Worst of all, you have forces on both sides that actively draw their energy from the conflict. They create and feed the tensions as a means of reinforcing their own vision of the world, existing in a dark symbiosis with their counterparts.
In this situation of conflict, my own denomination struggles to find a consistent voice. On our left flank, there are folks who see the oppression of Palestinian Christians and see an opportunity to get all social justicey, just like back in the 60s when they still had hair. They tend to gloss over wrongs inflicted by the "side" they've chosen. On the right, there are those whose theological framework assumes that the existence of Israel is necessary for the return of Christ, and who give theological preference to Jews because...well...it says so in the Bible. They, too, are unwilling to recognize where their "side" may overstep the bounds of justice.
The heat of that struggle has occasionally burned/caught up folks of a Presbyterian ilk...and is in the midst of doing so again. A few years, back, we dabbled with the idea of divestment from military ventures in Israel...and got burned. More recently, some of our more lefty folks have come perilously close to endorsing suicide bombings. It's rocky terrain, and when we venture there, we have trouble maintaining our balance.
At our last General Assembly, Presbyterians of my particular flavor adopted as policy a statement of essential neutrality, and established a commission to take a look at what we could do to further peaceful resolution of the conflict in that region. That's the right approach.
The challenge, of course, is really implementing it. As this commission reaches the point at which it is to make it's report, it's really, really difficult to remain authentically impartial. You know, in the same way that the Maker is impartial.
There are some concerns that the results of the Committee report might be imbalanced. But given that it's not even out yet, I'm still awaiting it. Maybe it'll be even-handed. Maybe it'll skew one way or another. I can't imagine it will be quite as skewed as a recent pre-emptive pronouncement of the Simon Wiesenthal Center would have us believe, though. The Presbyterian Church is "ready to declare war against Israel?" Without even reading a report which has not even been released?
Oy. Level Five is so very predictable.
For me, that desire for an end to tensions isn't just an abstract yearning to do good somewhere, somehow. It goes deeper, because it's about my own flesh and blood. From that, though, I recognize my own stirrings towards imbalance. It's hard to sympathize with folks who reflexively hate your children.
But even in the face of that, I recognize that the intense complexity of the situation on the ground calls for avoiding any and all efforts to paint things in black and white. Because that approach doesn't allow for the intermingling and interchange that is absolutely necessary if any movement towards peace is to be found.

Israel, Palestine, Impartiality and Intractable Conflict
1 comment:
I was in Israel a couple years ago. One thing that surprised me (I suppose it shouldn't have) was that the schools are segregated. Palestinians and Jews don't go to school together!ReplyDelete
I will admit my bias too. My wife is a Christian but her mother is Jewish. Which to the anti-semites makes my wife and children Jewish. So I want there to be a place where my family can be safe.
But I also want a place for Palestinians to be safe too. I suspect we all know that the best would be sharing water rights and Jerusalem and back to the 1967 lines but I don't think the radicals on either side will allow it.

Unfortunately we have had to call you twice within a short period of time. But thankfully our first experience was just so great considering I was pretty upset about the water damage. The second time I knew just to call you and everything would be ok. We have hired many contractors since moving to DE less than a year ago and your company and especially your staff were by far the easiest to deal with, the most professional, friendly but professional and definately the most respectful of our home. Khalil and Mike put my ease from the get go. They worked tirelessly to get our house dried out. It is without hesitation that I would recommend your company to anyone needing services you provide.

ORLANDO — You figure Joakim Noah had these dates circled on his calendar, a triumphant return to Florida, where he was the face and iconoclastic personality of the University of Florida's back-to-back NCAA champions. He would be the wild kid made good, the Bulls' first-round draft pick back to play the Magic on Tuesday and the Heat on Wednesday.
But Noah wound up trading in his letter sweater for a scarlet letter, suspended not only by his team for a game but also by a vote of his teammates -- a virtually unprecedented move -- for a second game, which the Bulls lost badly Sunday to the Hawks.

Have you ever thought about losing your luggage? That sucks. The idea of losing stuff on the plane feels heavy at heart but losing a luggage is for sure a HUGE pain especially if you are on a vacation or a business trip.

Have you ever thought about losing your luggage? That sucks. The idea of losing stuff on the plane feels
heavy at heart but losing a luggage is for sure a HUGE pain especially if you are on a vacation or a
business trip.
Check out these bizarre experiences below that might kill your vacation happy ending.
1. Freak and Terrified - Losing your luggage will certainly freak you out and makes you feel terrified
because you will never ever see your beloved luggage again. And the feeling of hopelessness because
your goodies are all inside your luggage but deep in your heart you are hoping for a more beautiful
reunion to make you feel better.
2. Immigration Officer cold attitude - Most immigration officers (not all of course) will blame you for
your lost luggage because on their minds, as a traveler it is our obligation to claim our luggage and be
responsible. It's ridiculously frustrating if they started blaming you because they think you are an idiot
and irresponsible.
3. Luggage Switched - it's definitely a great pain if by accident you switched your carry-on bag with
someone else and all your stuff such as your cash, your medication, and your identification is in your
carry-on luggage. It would be totally a nightmare and hoping against hope that the one who took your
bag will return it miraculously and generously.
4. Wearing a Towel - Imagine yourself wearing a towel in the hotel because you lost your luggage and
you are hoping against hope that someone will knock your door to deliver your bag.
5. Luckily your luggage found but ….. --- If gets lucky your luggage will be found but not the way you
expect it. What if your luggage is delivered to your doorstep soaking wet with all your stuff inside intact
but with molds growing on it?
Moral lesson: Always get insurance for your luggage and ask compensation from airlines.

Swindon, United Kingdom (PressExposure) July 01, 2009 -- myhomefiling.com and the file@home software program are the results of Intelligent Filing's senior management teams trials and tribulations (and general frustrations) with the software on the market today for home filing.
With many years experience in designing, building and maintaining corporate document management systems, the staff could clearly see that simplified document processes could be put to good use in the home office (how often have you been calling about car insurance, sat in front of the computer, but can't find the paper work when you get asked a question you don't know the answer to?).
So does this mean that all this fluffy web site is hiding a very technical piece of software that the average home user will never be able to undertand? Well, underneath yes, but on the surface, where it really matters, no; why? because we all use the software at home, if we don't like something then we can't expect others to like it either. So thats the why and what, but who are we, well, we're former members of PricewaterhouseCoopers Kinesis Ltd, and a few years back we had a management buyout of the department we worked for.
This created TPMB Consulting which now wholly owns Intelligent Filing Limited. And what does this mean to you, on the surface not a lot, but our pedigree with Blue Chip businesses should give you an indication we're no cowboys when it comes to document management.

For Valentine's Day this year, Blake Lively helped throw a Galentine's Day party with her sister, Robyn, and L'Oréal Paris. Even though she wasn't with her real-life Valentine, Ryan Reynolds, she still had him on her mind—and kind of on her ear.
The actress, who went all-out with the love theme—we're talking a SemSem dress covered in hearts, and a heart worked into her half-up, half-down hairstyle—wore a single earring that she revealed was an early Valentine's Day present from her husband.
"Well this was my Valentine's Day gift, one of them, apparently," she told ELLE.com at the party. "My husband was so excited about my Valentine's Day gift that he gave it to me early. But I love this because it's also like Valentine's Day, it's an arrow."
The earring in question: the Anita Ko single arrow 18-karat rose gold diamond earring, which looks like an arrow is piercing your lobe when it's on. If you didn't get this for Valentine's Day this year, good news: you can purchase it for yourself from Net-a-Porter.
"The cupid got me very bad with him," Blake continued. "I have it very, very bad for my husband, so it's a nice representation of that for me, that's why I loved it."
Blake also shared her idea of the perfect romantic gift: "I think the best thing you can get someone is a sentimental card, if you just write something from the heart, for me, that always means the most to me. My husband's really good about writing cards, he's really, really good at it. They can be concise or they can be big and flowery, it's just when something feels personal and from the heart, it's always the best. But then when that goes with this [points to her earrings], hello!"
At $2,411 for one earring, it's a very welcome "hello" indeed.

Mark Goulston, M.D., is the author of seven books, including his #1 international best seller, "Just Listen" Discover the Secret to Getting Through to Absolutely Anyone, and his newest book, Talking to Crazy: How to Deal with the Irrational and Impossible People in Your Life.
He is currently working as a subject matter expert minor author with the principal author of a book titled, Inside the Mind of a School Shooter, that tells the story of the principal author's descent twenty five years ago into being an about to be mass shooter with guns placed in his high school. Then five days prior to carrying out his "Columbine" act of revenge, he let go of his anger and bitterness, aborted his mission, removed the guns safely from the school and told nobody except his wife since that time. Since that time he has been a loving person and has never committed any crime. The spate of recent rampage shootings have compelled him to write this story because as he told Goulston, "If it prevents one school or other shooting which I will never know about, it will all be worth it."
Goulston agreed completely and went from agreeing to write a blurb to co-writing the book with afterthought input to each chapter describing the "cry for help" that the author couldn't express and that never got to be heard.
From a professional perspective, Goulston is the Founder and Co-CEO of The Goulston Group, that helps companies, organizations, leaders, executive teams and boards of directors improve their results by creating paradigm shifting breakthroughs in all people related matters. When people look at the world through different eyes, possibilities spontaneously reveal themselves that were previously unimaginable.
Goulston has 30 plus years as a clinical psychiatrist and UCLA professor. He transitioned into the business world after doing house calls to dying founders and CEO's and their families and helping them resolve never before resolved issues at the eleventh hour. Following that, next generation business leaders called upon him to help pull their executive teams together. He is also the founder of a personal mission "Healing the World, One Conversation at a Time."
He is a business consultant, executive coach, consultant to CEOs, C suite executives and major organizations and serves on the Board of Advisors for Nolan Bushnell's Brainrush, Dr. Oz's Health Corps and American Women Veterans.
His diverse background includes training FBI and police hostage negotiators and speaking internationally to companies, groups and organizations ranging from digital medial conferences to YPOWPO across India to Goldman Sachs to the William Morris Agency to national meetings of school superintendents to national women's conferences to prisoners at federal prisons to homeless teenagers living in shelters to imprisoned teenagers and to universities and parents groups regarding suicide prevention and intervention.
He currently is an advisor to executives from start-ups to the Fortune 100 and helps entrepreneurs to "think like Steve Jobs" with regard to creating new products and services that cause customers, clients and their markets to react with, "Gotta Have It!"
Goulston' s own skill development started with his education: A B.A. from UC Berkeley, an M.D. from Boston University, post graduate residency in psychiatry at UCLA. He went on to be a professor at UCLA's Neuropsychiatric Institute for more than twenty years, become a Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and was named one of America's Top Psychiatrists for 2004-2005 and again in 2009 and 2011 by Washington, D.C. based Consumers' Research Council of America.
Goulston's background as a trainer of FBI and police hostage negotiators has helped many individuals understand "who is holding them hostage". Goulston and the American Management Association have created a two day, multi-site and offsite course, "The Secret to Getting Through to Anyone," that is the ideal course for merged companies to attend to increase communication and cooperation right from the start. His next book, due out in October, 2015 is: Talking to Crazy: How to Deal with the Irrational and Impossible People in Your Life (Amacom, 2015).
His other books include: REAL INFLUENCE: Persuade Without Pushing and Gain Without Giving In, Get Out of Your Own Way and Get Out of Your Own Way at Work…and Help Others Do the Same. Mark writes for Harvard Business Review, Business Insider, Huffington Post and Psychology Today and is Senior Editor at CSQ Magazine where he also writes the "Closing Bell."
Goulston is also the Co-Founder of Heartfelt Leadership a community whose mission is: "Daring to Care."
He is the White co-host of the Black Zo What Morning Show that focuses on empowering the Black community with special emphasis on Black males. He is frequently called upon to share his expertise with regard to contemporary business, national and world news by television, radio and print media that has included: Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review, Fortune, Newsweek, Time, Los Angeles Times, ABC/NBC/CBS/Fox/CNN/BBC News, Oprah, Today.
He lives in Los Angeles.

Teens in Paris..what to wear

Whatever they'd wear back home.

Really?? They won't look like sloppy tourists in Paris? They will be so happy to hear that. Thanks!

Teens wear teen clothes !

Maybe throw in a sun dress but tell them to save room in the suitcase for shopping.

>>They won't look like sloppy tourists in Paris?<<
If they dress sloppily -- they will look like sloppy tourists.
If they dress neatly -- they will look like . . . neatly dressed tourists.
Report Abuse
Well, it depends on what they wear back home, I guess. But teens the world over wear pretty much the same gear these days.
There's no dress code in Paris. You see people dressed in everything from rags to furs and pearls all day long, everywhere. People have this notion that they need to "dress up" for Paris, and it's just silly.

There will be more than a few sloppy local teens however. Teen wear in Western countries transcends borders - tell them to bring whatever is in back home.

I took my teens to PAris.. and they looked too nice compared to some local kids.. lol .. I had sort of them bring all nicer things.. so let the girls bring their stuff.. honestly they will blend in fine.. note though that male teens do wear more fitted tshirts than the big baggy ones.. but whatever..
I agree with throwing in a sundress or skirt.. just something casual.. if its hot those are cooler than jeans and better for going out for dinner.. I would not wear shorts to dinner unless just eating at a fast food place or casual café.. but that's not any different than at home is it..

Thank you all so much. It really helps to have good advice!

Our 13 year old wears torn, skin tight jeans, Stan Smith tennis shoes, t-shirts with cute phrases in English, and accompanying items in shades of gray and black. Scarves are worn with great style even in warm weather.

The only thing we noticed different in Paris - when we took our tween/teen girls - is that the girls tended to wear black jeans more than blue. But it was a percentage difference - not an absolute - so really either is OK
Report Abuse
Oh - and definitely want something besides shorts i n case you get a cool rainy day. And some sort of skirt or dress for eating out if you are going nicer places.
Report Abuse
I don't know about teenage wear transcending borders. My sons are Italian born - and they laugh at some of the Italian teen fashion. Jeans so tight they look like they've been sprayed on, girls wearing more makeup than a drag queen, boys with a can of product in their hair. My youngest saw a boy his age wearing a shirt that said 'I heart Selena Gomez' and he laughed for an hour. No offence to Selena Gomez but that wouldn't be worn where we live.
Report Abuse
Italians do have diffrent fashions then Paris ( personally i think the men are smart dressers there) , but gobs of make up and tons of hair product, definately i have not seen alot of in Paris!
Report Abuse
Forget jeans, even jean shorts - they will be too hot. Bring sneakers, t-shirts, shorts and a couple of pair of lightweight longer pants and a lightweight windbreaker in case it rains and turns chilly.
Report Abuse
Really, let them wear whatever they wear at home.
June could mean jeans, or shorts, or both. You cannot say now that it will be too warm for jeans in June.
And a dress or skirt for nicer restaurants? Unless it's the michelin-starred type, jeans and a nice top would be fine.

I am living in the south of France with two teenagers right now. I can tell you absolutely ANYTHING GOES. That being said- Parisians are more stylish than the rest of France. My advice, dress nice. My daughter wears skirts or dresses most days we are doing any kind of sightseeing even if she wears cute sneakers with them. There are nicer shops and Salon du Thes that you will feel more comfortable visiting if you are all dressed appropriately.
In some small villages in Italy you are required to have arms and knees covered in churches but in Paris that is not an issue. Make sure to pack light sweaters or jackets, we have experienced cold weather(40 degrees F) in July in Paris.
Even for teenagers, consider the Jardin du Luxembourg for both the gardens and the puppet shows, they are wonderful. There is a Fashion museum in the Trocadero that the girls might love right across from the Contemporary art museum that is never crowded and full of wonderful impressionist works(Dufy, Matisse, Picasso...)
No matter what you wear or see-
Paris is always a good idea. - Audrey Hepburn

My 13 yr, old granddaughter tends to wear those really short shorts so we said no shorts for Paris. She brought several very cute short skirts that went well with t-shirts and flats. It was perfect for the warm weather in June. She was comfortable and looked better for city life. After all your in Paris!
I must add that the short skirts they wear are often as short as those tiny shorts but somehow they look nicer IMO
Report Abuse
Forget jeans in june? No way, not after i took a friend to paris in august one year and it was cool and rainy 7 out of our 9 days there,! Yes i think that was an anomly, i had told my friend to just pack shorts and sundresses, it would be so hot, but boy did we regret only having one "cooler weather outfit" with is( our " plane clothes") we had to go buys some stuff as we got sick of wearing same two long sleeved tops layered under our jackects!
Yes you may get hot weather, and in summer its most likely, but june ( far more likely than august!)but definately have girls being at least one pair of jeans!
Report Abuse
We always check the upcoming weather online and try to pack accordingly...of course, weather forecasts are not perfect, but they are usually close when looking a week or so into the future.
(This is the May forecast, but you can check right before you leave.)
Report Abuse
I have already seen girls wearing the short shorts in Paris this season and I just wondered why they were not freezing to death.
Report Abuse
Around here, the teen/tween girls have already started to wear their short-shorts with flamboyant tights and little boots. Same with the short skirts. Seems warm enough, even though it's been windy and cold here the past two weeks.
And I too would pack jeans (one pair, lightweight or even the stretchy fake jeans - I have a pair of those and love them). It's not THAT warm in June in Paris.

Want to take your organization to the next level? Looking to increase your leaders' awareness and effectiveness? Interested in getting to the real pulse of your organizational culture?
Julie is certified to administer The Leadership Circle Profile ™ 360 assessment, the Leadership Culture Survey and provides Leadership Development Coaching. These cutting-edge tools guide leaders, their team and/or organization in increasing their leadership effectiveness.
The Leadership Circle Profile™ (TLCP)
The Leadership Circle Profile is a true breakthrough among 360 degree assessments. It is the first to connect a well-researched battery of competencies with the underlying motivations and habits of thought. It reveals the relationship between patterns of action and the internal assumptions that drive behavior.
TLCP goes to the source of behavior to get greater leverage on change. Furthermore, unlike most leadership 360 degree assessments, which take hours to interpret, TLCP integrates all this information in a way that brings the key issues to the surface instantly. The data in TLCP reveals itself in seconds. At a glance, the whole gestalt is accessible. It immediately gets your leader in touch with what is working, what is not, and why!
In most organizations, this treasure trove of information remains buried.TLCP makes it easily accessible while it creates a foundation on which change can occur at a deeper level and a sustainable pace.
The Leadership Circle Profile Benefits:
- More Revealing- The Leadership Circle Profile (TLCP) is the only leadership 360 assessment that connects patterns of behavior with habits of thought
- More Advanced– it instantly reveals key opportunities for your leader's development without reams of documentation
- More than just an assessment– The rich theoretical underpinnings of TLCP provide a pathway to transformation. No other assessment of this type offers this
- More Efficient- It allows the coach to start at a breakthrough point with a leader rather than spend months trying to reach one
- More Dynamic – HR professionals, leaders, and seasoned consultants/coaches, consistently report that TLCP facilitates authentic, breakthrough results
- Widely Accepted– TLCP is truly world class and used by a vast number of leading local, national, and international organizations, and government agencies
The Leadership Circle Culture Survey™ (TLCS)
The Leadership Culture Survey (TLCS) identifies the gap between your current culture and your desired one. It also measures how the leadership culture within your organization and/or team compares to that of other organizations. It fits seamlessly with The Leadership Circle Profile because it is built from the same framework as TCLP. TLCS creates a very compelling rational for change. It is very affordable, internet-based, user friendly, and offers downloadable results. This means that you can conduct a thorough and valid assessment of your team's leadership style over even a lunch break,.
The Leadership Culture Survey will:
- Establish a compelling rational for change.
- Focus leadership development efforts.
- Delineate cultural challenges associated with acquisitions, mergers and restructuring plans.
- Correlate leadership to productivity, profits, turnover, and other bottom line metrics.
Individual Development Follow-Through
The fastest and most effective way to improve outcomes and return on investment from development planning initiatives is to actively support and manage the follow-through process. That is why we offer you a web-based support system designed to work seamlessly with The Leadership Circle Profile and workshops. TLC Follow-Through Tool® powered by Fort Hill, represents a true breakthrough in management. Users are automatically reminded of development objectives, an on-line mentor suggests practical goal-specific actions, managers and coaches can provide on-line coaching, and finally, a record is maintained of actions taken and progress made– all of which facilitates the evaluation of behavior change.

Vaginal symptoms are frequently presented by women to general practitioners. In many cases, the aetiology of these symptoms remains unknown. This study focused on the factors associated with microbiologically unexplained vaginal symptoms, the course of symptoms and signs in these cases, and factors modifying this course. In a group of 610 women presenting to their general practitioner with vaginal symptoms (itching, irritation, abnormal but non-bloody discharge) the distribution of diagnoses was studied and factors associated with symptoms of unknown aetiology were identified using logistic regression analysis. During a three month follow up, the course of symptoms and signs was studied in 139 women with unexplained vaginal symptoms, using survival analysis methods. It was found that 25% of all the women had symptoms of unknown aetiology. A larger number of these women, compared with women with other diagnoses, were Caucasian, married, more highly educated, used oral contraceptives and reported psychological distress. During the follow-up period, a specific infection was diagnosed in less than 20% of the women with unexplained vaginal symptoms. Over half of the women (54%) recovered within three months. Short duration of symptoms before presentation was associated with a higher probability of recovery. From the study, it was found that many women visiting the general practitioner for vaginal symptoms had no demonstrable microbial disorder. Often these symptoms were transient and disappeared without intervention. Persistent symptoms may call for further examination where somatic, as well as psychosocial, factors should be taken into account.

David McWilliams: Debt forgiveness is our only chance of recovery
EVERY month in the United States, something called the 'non-farm payroll' numbers is watched closely by the financial markets to get an idea about where the US economy might be headed. The Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) measures the national monthly payroll of all industries except farming.
Last Friday, it was revealed that 95,000 fewer Americans were on the national payroll than the month before. This outcome was worse than most analysts had expected. Yet by the close of business on Friday, the S&P 500 share index in New York had reached its highest level since May.
On the face of it, this makes very little sense. The numbers show that the recovery in the US is under threat, yet shares (and, in fact, all asset classes, including gold) rallied on the news.

Up for Grabs Trailer (2004)
01 October 2004 Comedy, Factual 90 mins
The absurd true story of the legal battle over the "Million-Dollar Baseball." Barry Bonds' record setting 73rd home run ball sparks a melee in the stands at Pac Bell Park in San Francisco. One guy caught the ball, another guy ended up with it. Who is the rightful owner? The lawyers can't agree; the fans can't agree; even the wisened professors of property law can't agree. This is a story documenting the hilarious lengths to which someone will go for a baseball, and the few fans that will put their lives on hold for years, staking everything on one judge's decision.

text: St. Ignatius of Loyola (c. 1491-1556), founder of the revolutionary Jesuit Order, is one of the key figures in Christian history. These Personal Writings reveal the intense inwardness and devotional depths of the private man. His Reminiscences give a vivid account of his conversion and psychological turmoil, of his pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and of the years of study and controversy in Spain and Paris leading to the creation of the Society of Jesus. The immensely influential Spiritual Exercises offer guidelines for helping people discover God in their lives, coming to terms with their flaws, and making choices about their future. In the Spiritual Diary Ignatius shows himself drawing on these methods to work through a period of crisis. All these major works have been included in this volume, along with forty letters specially selected by the editors. Together with the Preface, Introduction to each text and detailed notes, they make one of the greatest of religious characters freshly available to modern readers.

Theoretical isolation in contract theory: suppressing margins and entrepreneurship
We discuss contract theory from a combined Austrian/new institutional view. In the latter view, the world is seen as shot through with ignorance and transaction costs, but, as a tendency, entrepreneurial activity responds to the problems caused by these. All modelling must critically reflect this. This ontological commitment is contrasted to various isolations characteristic of contract theory, specifically the modelling strategy of introducing often ad hoc and unexplained constraints that suppress margins and possibilities of entrepreneurial actions that would be open to real-world decision-makers. We illustrate this by means of, for example, the treatment of asymmetric information under complete contracting and the notion of control rights under incomplete contracting.

Many midlife women develop plaque buildup in their arteries, especially the coronary arteries, due to loss of elasticity in the blood vessels and a natural increase in cholesterol. Follow your cardiologist's recommended protocols — and discuss using nature's help, too, with the herbs in this traditional Chinese formula:
Ginseng reduces cholesterol and has shown positive effects on blood vessel elasticity.
Dong quai
Dong quai or Chinese angelica root, is traditionally used to treat blockages and help increase blood flow.
Sacred pine
This plant contains a potent antioxidant called picnogenol in its bark, needles, and nut that helps reduce inflammation in the blood vessels, lowering the risk of plaque buildup.
Ginkgo also increases microcapillary circulation and expands blood vessels.
Hawthorn berries
Hawthorn berries reduce fat and mucus accumulation, purify the blood, and improve blood flow.
These herbs are available separately or as a combined supplement from Chinese pharmacies and in some health food stores. Some of the herbs, like ginkgo, possess mild blood-thinning properties and may interact with blood-thinning drugs. You must talk to your medical doctor and cardiologist before you take these herbs if you are already taking prescription medications.
