Don Van Nieuwenhuise, Ph.D., is currently Director of the Professional Geoscience Programs in the department of geosciences as well as Director of the Applied Sequence and Biostratigraphy Program at the University of Houston. His previous experience includes 18 years with AMOCO in stratigraphic research, stratigraphic applications, and management. His assignments included fields and prospects within the U.S. and in over 40 other countries. Prior to joining the AMOCO Research Center in Tulsa, he was a geologist for MOBIL in New Orleans where he successfully drilled more than 15 exploration, production, and blow-out kill wells. Nieuwenhuise gives us insight into the current efforts to stop the leaking well in the Gulf of Mexico.
Q: What do you know about BP's plan to place an underwater containment structure on the largest leak and pipe oil to a ship on the surface?
A: What they are trying to do is place, it's almost like a funnel, but an upside down funnel. ... If I were to have something like a cup and you turn it upside down like this, the oil is trying to fill that cup up. It's going to rise through the water column and try to fill that up. The biggest challenge is going to be to hold it steady and I don't know what kind of mechanisms they are going to use to do that, but hold it steady over the wellbore and capture the oil, and then they will also have a tube that comes out of it ... they will try to suck or pump the oil up through the pipe, that is at the top of it, and then collect and scour, clean the water out of it. ... This would be a stop-gap thing because it takes support vessels to maintain these things on position and the minute a hurricane or even a bad storm comes in they may have to shut-in operations ...I don't know the details but my guess would be they will have equipment that locks it into place or would anchor it into place.
Q: Has this type of plan been used before?
A: They've never tried it before, and if you were doing this in 60 feet of water it probably wouldn't be that hard to do. If you were doing it in 5,000 feet of water that creates a bigger problem because of the distance between the support vessel and where you actually have it.
Q: What is the best case scenario?
A: The best case scenario would be if they could actually capture somewhere between 80 to 95 percent of the oil by using this dome structure while its leaking and drill a kill well in three months or less.
Q: What risk does hurricane season pose to the operations?
A: The biggest problem with hurricanes is it takes a long time to drill the kill wells, it may slow them down. Because they are in an already unfortunate situation, and they know there is some pressure down there that may surprise them, they are going to be very careful when they are doing this.
It would be at least a week delay if a hurricane came though, as much as a month. The biggest fear I would think for the oil would be from the storm surge. It would push a lot of that oil onto shore, and maybe places further on shore you would want to see that pollution to get. When you look at the whole track record, the oil industry has done a really good job of maintaining the safety and environment with these rigs and also dealing with hurricanes.
Q: What are some of the challenges associated with offshore drilling?
A: The problem with drilling oil wells is the pressures and temperatures are extremely high and if you drill a deep well, as deep as they were drilling, the pressures and temperatures are phenomenal. You are talking about over 9,000 psi, if they have over pressure in the formation, and temperatures way over boiling, so it's hot and it's very high pressure. The crews that are out there are highly experienced.
Basically, whenever someone is out on the rig they are essentially putting their life on the line everyday to bring oil and gas to the shore for everybody. I don't think a lot of people realize that it is very dangerous and despite the dangers, the oil business has had an incredibly good track record. The rig that has exploded has built quite a number of large and deep wells in the Gulf of Mexico and other places without any type of accident at all.
Q: There is a lot of criticism regarding drilling for hydrocarbons as a result of this. What are your thoughts?
It's hard getting oil and gas out of the ground and some people will say that's the reason not to do it. Unfortunately, what we are stuck with is, we have a country that uses a lot of energy and oil and gas hydrocarbons and petroleum are going to be here at least another 50 years and play a major role in supplying that energy, mainly because it's relatively inexpensive. I do think all of the alternate sources are great ideas and ways to supplement things, but a lot of technology still needs to be improved because the cost is very high.

Due to a lack of waterproofing, moisture also causes metals to rust and wood to decay. Waterproofing in Randburg can help prevent this. Furthermore unhealthy living areas and weak foundations will affect the property value of property
Also, waterproofing systems can open up the basement area and thereby increase the utility of the buildings size. This also helps in increasing the value of your house in the market.
Waterproof clothing has many many myths, claims and strong opinions around it; I have heard so many of them over the years that it still amazes me what some companies will sell as "waterproof."
The properties of waterproof clothing
Lets start with the first truth that no one likes to admit: making something waterproof is extremely easy and cheap — just pick up any plastic bag and you have a waterproof item. Or better, take a big bin liner, make holes for your head and arms and you have a perfectly waterproof garment. It might not be pretty or fashionable, but it will keep you dry.
The only problems with a bin liner (besides style) is that it is very flimsy and offers no breathability at all. When we are being active, we sweat a lot in order to cool ourselves. This sweat, when wearing a bin liner, will stay inside and keep us wet, rendering the waterproof part redundant. So the greatest challenge with waterproof garments is making sure it is breathable. The other thing that a bin liner.

MANHATTAN, Kan-Research proposals that can enhance the profitability of Kansas wheat farmers are being sought by the Kansas Wheat Commission for the 2015 fiscal year.
The KWC, a farmer-funded organization based in Manhattan, needs preliminary letters of intent by Nov. 29, 2013. These will be reviewed by a committee of farmer-commissioners, who will issue an invitation for full proposals on Dec. 18. Final proposals will be due by Jan. 24, 2014 and on Feb. 18-19, proposal applicants will be invited to give a brief proposal presentation to a research review committee in Manhattan. Final award announcements will be made in April, 2014.
"With the current rapidly evolving world of crop technology, Kansas Wheat Commissioners take their job of advancing wheat research very seriously," says Aaron Harries, director of marketing for the Kansas Wheat Commission. "Nearly one quarter of the Commission's producer-funded budget is appropriated to wheat research."
Research proposal applicants should consider the following three goals when submitting research proposals:
Focus research by selecting research initiatives that support the industry's ability to gain and sustain market share profitably in both domestic and international markets.
Educate Kansas wheat producers to adopt technologies that are shown by research and development to be profitable.

It took Carolyn Newcomber Ketchel seven years to hear her brother�s name read at Wednesday�s Ride
FORT WALTON BEACH � It took Carolyn Newcomber Ketchel seven years to hear her brother�s name read at Wednesday�s Ride of Silence.
Stephen Newcomber was killed many years ago while bicycling to his girlfriend�s home in Maryland.
Ketchel was always afraid the annual event would stir sad memories, but decided to show her support this year.
�You never bring it to closure, but you learn to carry the pain in your heart,� she said.
Her brother and 20 other bicyclists were remembered by about 50 people who gathered at Mango�s on the Bayou for the 2.5-mile ride around town.
The names of those killed were read and placed in a hearse that led the cyclists on their route.
Besides remembering those killed in accidents, the Ride of Silence makes the point that bicyclists have a right to be on the road, said Clarice Hebinck of the Adventure Club.
�And that right needs to be respected,� Hebinck added.
Officials should build wider bike paths and install more prominent signs to remind motorists to watch for cyclists, she said.
Friends Fernanda Ufen and Anne Bower come to the event every year. Drivers always seem to be texting or looking around in their car, Ufen said.
�People are just not aware,� Bower said.
Emerald Coast Cyclists Club member John Stamp said the group just wants drivers and bicyclists to respect each other on the road.
�If it comes down to a battle between a bicyclist and a car, we will lose,� Stamp said.

Once upon a time, there was this salesperson at a video dating club (no lie...) who wanted to be a freelance writer. NOT someone who happily took on freelance writing jobs for .05 a word or $5 an hour. No "starving" writing careers for this boy. He was after well-paid freelance writing. One tiny problem: he had NO freelance writing background and NO paid professional writing experience. In fact, he had zero PAID freelance writing jobs to his name. Nada. Zilch.
But one day, he stumbled across the field of "commercial" freelance writing, where writing buyers will pay smart, strategic freelance copywriters rates of $50-$125+ an hour. As money-making ideas for writers went, this was a pretty good one. The light bulb went on.
That works, he thought. Well, four months later, he was indeed a full-time, "paying-all-the-bills" freelance writer.

The Stray Birds - Chapel Hill/
Comrades and music lovers, heed a young music journalist's call this Saturday, May 4th at Carrboro's The ArtsCenter, as a trio of harmonious troubadours takes the intimate stage in what is sure to be an enchanting performance. The Stray Birds, hailing from Lancaster, Pennsylvania will be in town and set to warm ears and hearts around 8pm. Tickets are set at the moderate price of $14, and for those unfamiliar with The ArtsCenter (located at 300-G East Main Street in Carrboro) it really is a special place. I can say from personal experience that the acoustics in the building are fantastic, and should lend nicely to The Stray Birds specifically. Now, onto a tidbit about the Birds.
In a generation where music is progressively dominated by enhancements in technology, Americana has remained one of my favorite listening friendly genres. This blend of folk, country, and bluegrass is rich; it is music for the soul. The Stray Birds consist of Maya de Vitry, Oliver Craven and Charles Muench, and each member shares one vocal microphone in order to create angelic harmony. The vocals are spun over stand-up baselines courtesy of Muench, and their latest album release, which is aptly self-titled, has received some strong praise, including the garnishment of being named one of the top ten Folk/Americana albums of 2012 by National Public Radio.
Unfamiliar with Americana? Let me try to jog your memory with some names you may recognize: Bob Dylan, Levon Helm, Jackie Greene, Alison Krauss, The Avett Brothers, Jerry Douglas, and Old Crow Medicine Show. The list goes on, but the point I'm making is that Americana artists are special, they are storytellers and the genre itself is rooted in homey folklore; something residents of this part of the country should be keen to appreciate. I have mentioned my attraction specifically to unique voices. They call to me more so than any other lone instrument, and this Saturday will be a chance for patrons to indulge in the type of singing that is hard to turn away from. I implore you all to come and see an exceptional Americana group on the rise add their names to the aforementioned list of greats in their ascent to success.
Included below is a link to The Stray Bird's "Twenty-Five to Life" — just one example of the homey melody and folk play that I have touched on above. I hope you are looking forward to Saturday as much as I am, and as always, see you at the show!

LONDON (MarketWatch) — U.K. stocks clung close to the flatline Thursday, as property developers jumped but Barclays PLC hit a 19-month low amid U.S. legal problems.
U.K.'s FTSE 100 index UKX, +0.58% ended up less than 2 points at 6,735.12, but swung between gains and losses during the session.
Housing stocks ranked among the session's best performers after the Bank of England outlined measures aimed at cooling the U.K.'s housing boom. Housing stocks this week had come under pressure ahead of the bank's announcement, but on Thursday, Persimmon PLC PSN, +0.40% was pushed up 5% and Barratt Developments PLC BDEV, -0.09% climbed 4.8%.
The central bank's Financial Policy Committee said in its report that debt levels for households haven't yet posed a risk to the stability of the financial system, but that it wants to take steps to head off potential risks.
"The implication is that the market is not out of control," said Toby Nangle, head of multi-asset allocation at Threadneedle Investments in London, in a telephone interview. "By phrasing the macroprudential controls in the way that they have, for many people who've been long housing stocks and long sterling, it's given a bit of cause for relief," he said.
Sterling GBPUSD, +0.2476% rose above the $1.70 level against the U.S. dollar in the wake of the housing proposals.
House prices in the U.K. have risen nearly 10% in the year to April, according to the Office for National Statistics.
Among other property developers, British Land Co. BLND, -0.64% rose 1.4%. Off the benchmark, Taylor Wimpey PLC UK:TW gained 5.2% and Berkeley Group Holdings PLC BKG, +0.81% rose 3.2%.
The day's best price performance came from a 6.2% rise in London Stock Exchange Group shares LSE, -0.14% after the exchange operator said it's buying Frank Russell Co., a U.S.-based stock-index and asset-management business, for $2.7 billion. The stock-index unit of Russell is behind the Russell 2000 RUT, -0.44% gauge of small-cap stocks.
Barclays shares BARC, +1.68% BCS, +1.09% put in the worst performance on the index, falling 6.5% to £2.15 ($3.66) to trade at levels not seen since November 2012, according to FactSet data. The decline was set off after New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman on Wednesday said he's filing a civil lawsuit over how the bank operates its dark pool. Dark pools, private trading platforms that allow for block trades, are designed to allow firms to make anonymous trades without disclosing their hands.
The lawsuit alleges Barclays dramatically increased the market share of its dark pool through a series of false statements to clients and investors about how, and for whose benefit, Barclays operates its dark pool.
Litigation costs "are a challenge to Barclays executing its strategic plan, as they put pressure on the capital base, which based on our estimates pro forma for litigation, is the weakest of the peer group," said Credit Suisse in a note Thursday.
Credit Suisse estimates banking-sector litigation costs of $104 billion, up from its $58 billion estimate the year before, "and we see upward risk to this estimate. We have seen banks with legacy litigation risk starting to materially underperform those less exposed."
Elsewhere in the banking sector, Standard Chartered PLC STAN, +1.53% fell 4.3% after warning its first half operating profit will be 20% lower than a year earlier. Trading conditions mainly in financial markets have been "difficult," the bank said in a statement.

DENVER, April 30 (UPI) -- Andre Iguodala provided 25 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists Tuesday and Denver avoided playoff elimination with a 107-100 win over Golden State.
Iguodala's dunk off a Ty Lawson air ball in the final minute turned back a late Warriors rally that saw Golden State whittle a 19-point deficit down to five with 2:16 to go.
Lawson finished with 19 points and 10 rebounds while Wilson Chandler pumped in five 3-pointers en route to 19 points for Denver, which still trails their Western Conference quarterfinal series 3-2.
Harrison Barnes (23 points, nine rebounds), Jarrett Jack (20, six, five assists) and Klay Thompson (19, six boards) led Golden State, which will have another chance to advance at home in Thursday's Game 6.

Through our lives, we've seen so many cake phases come and go. There was the Funfetti phase; the ice cream cake phase; the cupcakes baked in sugar cones phase. We've seen cakes come and go out of vogue. Carrot cakes have made way for Hummingbird cakes; Red Velvet was tacky, but now it's kind of cool again.
Well, it's time to make way for the new cake on the block: Tres Leches (or, Pastel de Tres Leches, literally meaning "cake of three milks"). It's long been a staple dessert in Latin America, and it's coming to the USA with the fervor of Selena's crossover album. Usually made sans butter and soaked in three types of milk (evaporated milk, condensed milk and either whole milk or cream), in spite of being so dairy-dominant, the cake remains quite light and unsoggy when made correctly.
We predict you'll be seeing it a lot more in the future, but for the meantime check out these places in the Seattle area:
Borracchini's Bakery: Who would have thought an old-school Italian bakery would be on to this trend? 2307 Rainier Ave. S (between S. Walker St. & S. College St.); online at nowcake.com.
El Diablo Coffee Co.: Call for availability; their menu rotates. 1811 Queen Anne Ave. N (between W. Howe St. & W. Blaine St.); online at eldiablocoffee.com.
Salvadorean Bakery: Don't go here for the ambience--it's in a strip mall--but rather go for the authentic cakes. 1719 SW Roxbury St (between 17th Ave. SW & 18th Ave. SW).
NB: We've also heard it's on the menu at El Camino (607 N. 35th St b/t Evanston Ave. N & Fremont Pl. N; online at elcaminorestaurant.com) and Senor Moose Cafe (5242 Leary Ave. NW b/t 20th Ave. NW & NW Ione Pl.; online at senormoose.com.)

Breast Milk: Does a Stay-At-Home Dad good.
4 comments:
Good for you guys! Stay at home dads have that very obvious defect. No boobs! Ah, but alas, modern technology is great and has allowed us to be greater parts of our young kids lives. Never the less though there really isn't anything like the real thing. My wife pumped at work too. I've been at home for 5 years with my boys, it's still something I look back on and laugh at. :-)ReplyDelete
I'm crying my eyes out, I didn't know a man could capture these struggles so accurately. I started supplementing at 4 months and nursed while I was at home b/c as a nurse on a busy medical floor, I could never "sneak" away to my empty closet to pump. I would work 14 hrs in misery just needing to pump. Thank you for your story and daddy insight. It's beautiful.ReplyDelete

This October, the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) will implement the reauthorized Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), which is our nation's main response to domestic and sexual violence. This law, passed in February and signed by President Obama in March, explicitly addresses lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) survivors of violence. LGBT inclusion in this bill represents years of continuous work by LGBT organizations and is a huge victory for this country and LGBT communities and LGBT survivors everywhere.
VAWA includes LGBT people in three significant ways:
- It names LGBT people as underserved populations in need of specific attention to address the unique issues they face as survivors of domestic or intimate partner violence, dating violence, sexual violence and stalking.
- It prohibits VAWA grantees from discriminating against survivors of violence based on sexual orientation or gender identity when providing services.
- It establishes a specific purpose area to address LGBT violence at the state level.
This historic legislation came shortly after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a national prevalence survey showing that lesbian, gay and bisexual people experience intimate partner violence and sexual assault at the same or higher rates as heterosexual people. It comes a year after the New York City Anti-Violence Project's National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs (NCAVP) found that transgender people experience sexual violence at twice the rate of cisgender people. The legislation also increases protections for Native Americans, immigrants, communities of color and students, many of whom are a part of LGBT communities.
The passage of this LGBT-inclusive legislation was made possible by a coalition of advocates, both LGBT and allies, and our communities who spoke up and spoke out to make this law work for all survivors of violence. Through our work with these friends and allies, we were able to demonstrate the severe and harrowing impact that violence has on LGBT people every day. This work was also the result of the many members of Congress understanding the real and urgent need that LGBT survivors of violence have, and the ways in which an LGBT-inclusive VAWA would help meet that need. In particular, the bill's sponsors, Sens. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and Mike Crapo (R-Idaho); leaders in the House of Representatives, including Reps. Gwen Moore (D-Wis.), Tom Cole (R-Okla.) and John Conyers (D-Mich.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.); and other congressional supporters of the bill worked tirelessly to include LGBT survivors in the bill. President Obama and Vice President Biden, who, as Sen. Biden, sponsored the first-ever version of VAWA, were staunchly supportive of an LGBT-inclusive bill, and their leadership was instrumental in the bill's passage.
Along with 35 national and 71 local groups working on violence, safety, equality, and more, we commend the LGBT-inclusive Violence Against Women Act and all those who made this possible. This legislation will make a real difference in the lives of tens of thousands of LGBT people each year. And just as importantly, our work has fundamentally shifted our nation's response to violence to include and acknowledge the LGBT survivors who experience the terrifying isolation, fear and danger of domestic and sexual violence. This legislation ends the silence and isolation that so many LGBT survivors have felt, makes LGBT survivors visible and central to our national response to domestic and sexual violence, and says to all survivors of violence, "You matter, and there is support for you."
It is critical in our work to end violence to explicitly name, understand and address how violence impacts different communities. The VAWA passed by the 113th Congress does just this by responding to the real needs of LGBT people, Native Americans, immigrants, students and those whose communities intersect.
In October, OVW plans to release administrative directives that will lay out the expectations for LGBT inclusion in all domestic and sexual violence services funded by OVW. We know that clear, direct and inclusive implementation guidance on how to work with LGBT survivors as underserved populations, through nondiscrimination protections and state pass-through funding, will be critical to making this law a reality. We know that this will mean that work with domestic and sexual violence survivors will have to shift significantly, from the way in which we do intake with people to the assumptions we make about gender and violence, to the policies that we have in our organizations that address protections for survivors based on sexual orientation and gender identity, to states that still actively discriminate against LGBT people and LGBT survivors. We know that the challenge is great, but we also know that the anti-violence and LGBT fields and movements are smart enough, nimble enough and committed enough to make this work. We also know that we have to do this, because LGBT people's lives depend on it. We look forward to the implementation of administrative directives and regulations that will make these protections available to all survivors of violence.
There is more work to be done, both for LGBT equality and for LGBT survivors of violence. This victory shows what all of us, together, can do to create safety and equality for LGBT people.

Case No. : WN486913
I sent my IDEAPAD laptop for repair on April 13, 2011 and I was promised by the customer service representative that my laptop will be repaired and sent back to me within a week. It's already been 10 days and I haven't received my laptop yet.
Moreover, when I checked the depot status today I came to know that my laptop was placed on a hold since April 17 for no reason and I didn't get any call from company regarding the hold. I'm really dissatisfied with the service of this company and I would never recommend Lenovo to anyone.
Inspite of having a full physical damage warranty I have received this kind of service.
Moderator edit: Removed YELLING format from message
Hello Deepak,
I understand your concern, and I would suggest you to please contact the lenovo customer service support and there the available representative will assist you .
Thanks & Regards,

Apologies for the repair delay. Repair holds are typically caused by either a delay in part availability, or finding of damage not covered by warranty (customer induced damage). As you note you have accidental damage coverage, I would imagine this is a part constraint.
Tanuj's advice is generally fair - you can call support back and ask for details about the hold and what can be done to resolve it. The service center can escalate cases if they are unable to resolve.
Since you have posted here and shared your case number, we can certainly look into this and see what can be done to get this repair completed. I've escalated the case and we'll follow up tomorrow.
EDIT - Update 5/7/12 - This case has been escalated to our customer relations team on 4/24 and Carolyn is working with Deepak. The system is in the process of being replaced. Please continue to work with Carolyn to resolution - if you need additional help, please let us know.
Best regards,

As members of the art world head to the home of The Golden Girls to peruse, critique and/or roll their eyes at the displays of one of the most popular art fairs in the world, a noble bunch of New York artists intend to intervene the glorified shopping mall to mitigate the devastation Hurricane Sandy caused to New York's creative community.
Flood the Art Market, incepted by graffiti photographer Clams Rockefeller, performer and multimedia artist Hally McGehean and art director/designer Cey Adams, is a group charity show composed of donated artwork whose proceeds will go to the NYFA Emergency Relief Fund benefiting recovery efforts specifically geared toward artists who were displaced and ravaged by the superstorm that blew through our metropolis last month.
"Even though we've seen artists helping artists in New York, we thought it was a good idea to travel to this dry, warm, and sunny place with a built-in audience of people who probably haven't donated their time or money yet," says co-curator McGehean on the logic behind staging a grassroots show amidst the big players on the art scene. Creating an intricate network of artists between the three of them, the show boasts pieces donated by everyone from fledgling newcomers to the Beastie Boys.
Housed at The Art Place Wynwood from December 6–9, the show will culminate in a silent auction and "Flood Party" on Saturday night. Though assembled from the resources available on such short notice, the show appears to be well-curated so far, melding an 1980s hip-hop vibe with street art and vintage portraits of Run DMC to downtown gritty glamour through photos of transgender icon Amanda Lepore and early club snapshots of a young Lady Gaga. It also marks a shift in value to more modern and experimental forms, considering the curators hadn't even thought to ask a single traditional painter to donate.
Initial premise aside, the details of the project evoked a sense of awe and completely unheard of empathy (from me, at least). Artists donated high-quality prints and one-of-a-kind works at the drop of a hat; Parsons students spent their Thanksgiving breaks designing the posters; venues opened their doors, liquor sponsors their bottles. It can even be perceived as a larger, political act of resistance.
On the fetid air that sometimes permeates the art scene, McGehean reflected on the fact that, "[It] can be pretty cutthroat and unpleasant … even if you want to get into MoMA before another artist does, we're still a family."
"Flood the Art Market" reacts to the commercialism of Art Basel as a kind of intervention, interrupting the flagrant consumerism of art that tends to saturate fairs with a philanthropic, communal effort to foster and sustain creativity under one non-gallery sponsored roof.
If you're going down to Miami, it might be worth checking out and putting time towards. And if you're staying up here in the unseasonably warm weather, you can always donate to their indiegogo campaign.

Film Finance Overwhelm/
Guest post from Film Specific's Stacey Parks.
As I'm unwinding from AFM last week, it occurs to me that while many of you are experiencing Distribution Overwhelm, even more of you are experiencing Finance Overwhelm. Why? Because unless you have 100% cash in bank to make your film, what can you do to get your project off the ground?
The way I see it is we've entered a time where 'cobbling together' different forms of film financing is necessary to make the whole. Sure, private equity (or cash) still plays a role in this new model, but there's also other methods that need to be explored and implemented to finance your film
Case in point – many filmmakers today are using private equity or cash for development funds, tax incentives and pre-sales for production funds, and crowd funding for finishing funds. Is that too many financing components? Let me put it to you this way….
Ignore a diversified approach to film financing at your peril!
So how and where do you begin on this journey then to cobble together financing for your film? Let's forget the private equity or cash component for a moment b/c that's usually the hardest piece of the puzzle, and let's focus on financing components we actually have more control over in order to create some initial momentum with your project:
• Tax incentives – you've probably heard this before but if you're not investigating locations to shoot your film that offer tax rebates and credits, you're simply being irresponsible. Research both U.S and international states, countries, and provinces which offer attractive tax incentives for you to shoot your film there. Use the individual Film Commission offices as your starting point and they'll walk you though the process and procedure, which in my experience are shockingly simple. Get budgets drawn up for shooting in different locations so you can compare where you're able to make your film in the most economic way possible.
• Partnering With Production Companies – This may not seem like an obvious choice at first but let's just say this – if you don't have a track record yourself, if you're a first or second time producer, writer, or director and you want to fast track your production, you should consider partnering with a more experienced Producer or Production Company and leverage their track record to get your project made. There are so many other benefits to this approach too – not least is the fact that if you manage to attract a bigger producer with a track record to your project to partner with you, you can ride their coat tails for this project, get introduced to their whole network of 'relationships', and be in a prime position for your next project to go it alone, using all the contacts you made. I've seen this happen many times, and it seems sometimes what holds people back in this scenario is their pride. Wouldn't you rather swallow your pride and get your film made?
• Pre-Sales – Here's the facts: Pre-Sales are not dead. I don't care what anyone says, Pre-Sales are alive and kicking for the right projects. And that's the key here – the right projects. What does that mean? That means for projects with a killer concept, an experienced director attached, and great cast, pre-sales are in fact a reality. Now I know this might seem like a long shot for some of you but hear me out….If you are a first time director, focus on a killer concept and cast. If you are a first time producer, focus on attaching a 'name' director. You can in fact build a package that attracts pre-sales, it takes time, and often money (development funds) to pull things together but it's possible.
• Crowd Funding – Crowd Funding has actually been around for a while but only recently popularized by sites like Kickstarter & Indie Go Go. However, as many of you know, Robert Greenwald has been crowd funding his movies for years. His moves, being cause-related in nature, actually quite nicely lend themselves to being crowd funded (by people who are passionate about his causes). But what about if you have a narrative feature (as opposed to a cause-related doc)? The truth is, Crowd Funding can work for you too but the success of your campaign will be predicated on your ability to build an audience for your film while you're still in the financing stage. No easy task but by leveraging the internet and social media, ti's entirely possible provided you have a subject in your film, or are covering a topic or theme that people are actually interested in. Have you researched the concept of your film yet to determine if in fact there's a potential audience for it that will be interested in seeing it? That's the key to crowd funding right there.
These 4 components are what I see as the basic building blocks of a Film Financing plan in today's market. And by building blocks I mean you should be using a combination of a few if not all of these to get the job done!
So what are your thoughts about Film Finance Overwhelm? Which of these methods have you used successfully, or not so successfully? And what questions do you have about any of them?
I'll be kicking off one last Virtual Intensive for 2010 dedicated to Film Finance Overwhelm because I know that many of you are looking ahead at 2011 and you want to get your films made next year come hell or high water!
In my Virtual Intensive – Film Financing 2.0 Essential Training - I'll be covering these 4 components of financing in-depth over the course of a few weeks. Take a look at the details of this small group program, and grab a seat before it sells out. Join the movement to get your film financed for 2011!

6 Month SmilesFor an appointment call our office today at 615-717-0507 or Make an Appointment
Six Month Smiles
The Benefits of Six Month Smiles
Quicker treatment - The biggest advantage of Six Month Smiles is its short treatment time. Comprehensive orthodontic treatment, which straightens all of your teeth and affects the way they bite together, takes around 12 to 18 months. Six Month Smiles treatment isn't quicker because it's moving your teeth faster; it's quicker because it's only straightening your front teeth.
Discreet brackets - Six Month Smiles has clear brackets and tooth-colored wires, which blend inconspicuously with your teeth.
Affordable treatment - The speed of Six Month Smiles is usually reflected in its price, and in most cases, it costs less than comprehensive orthodontic treatment.
The Six Month Smiles Process
- If you're found to be a good candidate for Six Month Smiles, x-rays and impressions will be taken and an individualized plan will be created.
- Your visible teeth are fitted with the clear brackets and wire and adjusted accordingly.
- You can expect to return to our office every four to five weeks for adjustments.
- After around six months have passed, the brackets and wire are removed. Wearing a retainer is also necessary.
To find out if you're a candidate for Six Month Smiles, contact your Antioch dentist today at 615-717-0507 to schedule a consultation.

Patient discussion about technique
Q. Any other methods of pain relief besides the medication I am taking? I need help ……I've Fibromyalgia for 15 years, it's been a very long journey and it makes me feel helpless. I stop taking on medicines many times and once the pain increases I again take them. I know my life is only with medicine and I have to live this way for my children. How it will be if I start taking on, any other methods of pain relief besides the medication I am taking…please tell me.
A. Try yoga, hot/warm baths, resting when needed, exercise as you can tolerate without making pain worse, meditation,walking a little everyday, having a positive attitude and reaching out for support, talking and realizing you are not alone can help a great deal. I had to accept I could not make it through my day without medication! When you go off and on meds, this can sometime result in having to start all over again to reach "theraputic" levels. You are not a druggie...staying on your meds enables you to be as productive as possible in your life and with your family.Good Luck and God Bless!
Q. what is the relation between breast Cancer to other kinds of cancers? what are the treatment methods?
A. Breast cancer, as other cancers all have many causes, from genetic predisposition to environmental factors such as bad nutrition and obesity. Some cancers are known to be caused by smoking, whereas others don't have a direct connection. Breast cancer diagnosed early can be treated with surgery (removal of the lump) and radiation treatment, with or without chemotherapy or hormonal treatment. It varies with different clinical stages.
Q. what is the relation between breast Cancer to other kinds of cancers? what are the treatment methods?
A. Breast cancer is estrogen-dependent, i.e. increased exposure to un-opposed estrogen increase it's risk, so it's also related, at least epidemiologically to ovarian cancer and uterine cancer. Mutations that increase breast cancer's risk, such as BRCA2 also increase the risk of other cancers such as pancreas cancer, skin cancer etc.More discussions about technique

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are all analytical packages the same? The concept of "Fitness for Purpose"
A: All analytical methods have limitations to some degree. For example, an aqua regia digestion for gold is suitable for soils and sediments because the gold is expected to be largely available for chemical attack and this might give you a partial concentration. The same cannot be said for an aqua regia digestion of rocks and drill cuttings where the gold may be retained in an insoluble quartz matrix or otherwise encapsulated. For rocks and drill cuttings, a lead fire assay method is clearly the superior method to obtain a total gold concentration. Another common limitation of analytical methods are for REE elements. REE elements digested by either aqua regia (code UT1) or 4 acid digestion (code UT4) might be only partially digested due to the different types of acid resistant mineral phases present. If you require total values for REE then a metaborate fusion would be better. This is offered by our 4litho or 4 lithores or the special major element REE quantitative Code 8 assay packages. There are circumstances where high phosphate may cause solubility packages with these metaborate packages. This can be remedied by using fusion XRF.
