Greene recalls days as Georgia QB during Rotary meeting
Before former Georgia quarterback David Greene regaled his audience with stories of past Southeastern Conference battles, the Athens Rotary Club paused Wednesday afternoon to commemorate the 70th anniversary of D-Day, when the Allied Forces stormed the beaches of France during World War II.
Club members watched a short video illustrating a recording of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's D-Day Prayer, sergeant at arms Len Davis recited the poem "I Stand Here Now", and singer/songwriter Mike Dekle performed his riveting composition "Till They Came Home".
The club also offered a standing ovation to a pair of their fellow Rotarians who served in World War II - H. Edsel "Ed" Benson (who joked that he "Didn't get the email about D-Day") and Thomas Strickland.
And once the room had contemplated one of the most pivotal days in world history, they were solidly entertained by Greene, the Snellville boy who set the stage for Matthew Stafford, D.J. Shockley and Aaron Murray as the first of coach Mark Richt's iconic UGA quarterbacks.
During his four years between the hedges, Greene set the NCAA record for career victories (42, which was later eclipsed by Texas' Colt McCoy in 2009) and the SEC mark for career yards (11,270, bettered in 2013 by Murray) and completed 59 percent of his passes for 72 touchdowns.
He led the Bulldogs offense from 2001-04, years when the team won its first SEC title in 30 seasons, captured two SEC Eastern Division crowns and won Sugar, Outback and Capital One bowls.
The still-boyish and ever-humble Greene, who turns 32 later month, admitted that he really didn't realize he was major-college material while at South Gwinnett High School, especially when the Comets went 0-10 during his sophomore season.
"People ask me, 'When did you know?'" Greene, now an insurance broker, said. "And I tell them, 'I didn't know and neither did my parents or anybody else.' I knew I was pretty good, but I didn't think I was head-and-shoulders over anybody else. And after we went 0-10, I wasn't sure I could win a high-school football game, much less play for Georgia."
But South Gwinnett fired its coach and lured T. McFerrin out of one of his retirements. He developed the 6-foot-3 Greene into a hot commodity, and the rest, as they say, is history.
As Greene dissected the first big game of his career - the 26-24 victory at Tennessee in the now-legendary "hob-nail boot" affair - many club members were on the edge of their seats, remembering those early Richt years.
Greene also briefly touched on the modern-day recruiting process, which he said "does a disservice" to schools because prospects these days are less inclined toward unconditional love for their alma maters.
"It's not really a recruit issue. It's a college football issue," he said.
The former SEC Freshman of the Year and All-SEC first-teamer even had a little something to say about his professional career, which featured stops in Seattle, New England, Kansas City and Indianapolis.
He recounted a conversation with All-Pro quarterback Tom Brady, who during Greene's short time with the Patriots was suffering from tendonitis, but wouldn't take any downtime so as not to become the "next Wally Pipp," who when he sat out of a game was spelled by Lou Gehrig.
"I think we can all learn from that," Greene said. "Here's the greatest quarterback in the world; he's at the top of his game and he's crushing every team in the league in 2007. But he prepared and worked like a rookie. He did not want to give anybody the hint of a chance at taking his job."
An eternal hero in Athens and beyond, Greene is a gracious winner, expressing his gratitude that he's still remembered.
"I feel fortunate and blessed to have been able to play at Georgia," Greene said. "I knew it was a big deal and I didn't know if I was good enough. ... I'm grateful for the time I had here and I know that the Dog Nation runs deep and that people still appreciate what you did 10 or 15 years ago."

For many people working with colleagues in the home office is a new way of doing so in the midst of the Corona crisis. In IT, this has long been part of everyday life and is also urgently needed. Companies are looking for qualified employees because of the shortage of skilled workers in the industry above all. The search for suitable employees has therefore become more complex, as permanent positions are expensive and inflexible. Freelancers are therefore particularly in demand in the IT sector, even over long distances. However, the recruiting process takes a very long time, with a usual time span of 2 to 4 months, and even then the personnel costs are still comparatively high. This is why companies expand their search for employees across national borders and try to attract international employees. However, this brings additional hurdles, such as the assessment of the qualifications of potential employees. Educational qualifications in international comparison are difficult to compare and therefore companies all too often have to ask themselves whether an applicant actually has the necessary skills for the job.
AI takes over the recruiting process and saves a lot of time and money
Remoteplatz wants to make exactly this international recruitment process faster and above all more reliable. The startup has developed a platform that creates a flexible working day for companies and enables them to hire perfectly qualified developers. A system based on AI technology automates and optimizes all steps of the recruiting process. The AI not only takes over the complex work of recruiting, but also guarantees a high quality selection of employees. Through a continuously optimizing feedback system, the mutual cooperation can be evaluated and conclusions can be drawn about which characteristics of an employee lead to which work result. The system offers the companies not only the applicants but also employees all functions for a smooth match.
Automated support even beyond the matching process
If an applicant is hired, the duration of the project begins, during which the system accompanies the communication and exchange of wages and work results between the two parties. An essential element in the process is the mutual final evaluation, which is used as a basis for future matching decisions. All data is stored, resulting in a verifiable track record. This forms the basis for subsequent matching processes, which is extended with every successful project. The AI can thus gradually better assess the skills of a developer and find the perfect projects for him. This is especially interesting for start-ups and small companies. Euverion supports Remoteplatz's projects and secured a grant of €100,000 for IT personnel and equipment.
From Brandenburg across Egypt towards internationalization
Currently all available developers are in Cairo, as the start-up is focusing on the Egyptian region for the moment. The biggest advantage of this is that despite the distance, the same time zone as in Europe applies, so the processes can be perfectly integrated into the daily routine. In the future, the selection process is set to be internationalized – so that entrepreneurs can easily secure the services of top developers wherever companies and developers may be located. The Remoteplatz development team already offers a wide range of software specializations: Developers for Frontend, Backend, Blockchain, Machine Learning, Data Science and mobile apps are ready for use for various projects.

For the past six years a Texas school district has been waging legal warfare against a group of high school cheerleaders who wrote Bible verses on football run-through banners.
In October the Texas Ninth Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the Kountze Independent School District cheerleaders – declaring the "cheerleaders' speech expressed on the run-through banners is best characterized as the pure private speech of the students."
The school district has appealed to the Texas Supreme Court.
The "banners were held by public school cheerleaders while they were cheering for the school's football team, while they were in uniform at a school-sponsored event, and while they were on the school's football field to which access was limited by the school," school district attorney Thomas Brandt wrote.
The cheerleaders are represented by First Liberty Institute, one of the nation's top religious liberty law firms.
Attorney Jeremy Dys told the Todd Starnes Radio Show the cheerleaders "have a right to be able to craft messages of their choosing on paper they purchased using paint that they had bought."
""This is the private speech of these cheerleaders and for the school district to censor that speech violates the Constitution," Dys said. "The school district has fought us every step along the way."
I first reported the plight of the Kountze cheerleaders in 2012 when the Freedom From Religion Foundation filed a complaint about the run-through banners.
Instead of writing inflammatory messages on the banners, the cheerleaders decided to write inspirational messages – including Bible verses.
"And the cheerleaders looked to what they saw as their best source of inspiration – the Scriptures," Dys said.
Instead of siding with the Constitution, the school district sided with the out-of-town atheists and banned the cheerleaders from writing Bible verses on the banners.
So the cheerleaders and their parents sued the school district.

Not all NAS provides iSCSI. Once it is connected, you need to partition and format before using. It works as local disk and cannot be resize easily.
It is a block level protocol.
It provides server and authentication control. You may make shared folders public to host/IP or create a user name and password for authentication. It is not a good idea to allow multiple hosts to connect to a single iSCSI array with read and write at the same time because it is a block level protocol without file locking.
Enable iSCSI, Create iSCSI Target, and Policies on QNAP TS-112
On TS-112, you may enable it in [Portal Management] of [Control Panel]→[System Settings]→[Storage Manager]→[iSCSI]. Then add you iSCSI Target with [Quick Configuration Wizard] in tab [Target Management]. You may enable [CHAP Authentication Settings] with user name and password in step3. After creation, change the default size of selected iSCSI Target by clicking [Modify] from [Action].
Server control is implement by policies. To create or manage existing policies, use [Control Panel]→[System Settings]→[Storage Manager]→[iSCSI]→[Advanced ACL]. You will need the initiator name from client computers. More detail can be found in How to Configure iSCSI Advanced ACL on QNAP Turbo NAS.
Access iSCSI Target from Computer
On my desktop computer, I use [iSCSI Initiator] in YaST. You will see the [Initiator Name] in tab [Service] which is necessary in QNAP iSCSI policy in previous section. Switch to tab [Connected Targets] and click [Add] to config. You need to provide the IP of your iSCSI Target and authentication information if needed (up to your configuration in NAS). Choose the iSCSI Target from list and click [Connect]. Again, fill in authentication information if needed and select when to connect. Now, it will connect the iSCSI Target on boot or manually.
You shall be able to see a new disk in you disk tool. Partition and format it before using if it is new.
iSCSI Target is very stable compared to Samba and NFS on TS-112. I didn't encounter any crash or freeze during test. You may also use disk benchmark tools with it.

I wanted to create a bootable drive for win xp, when convert FAT32 to NTFS with some commands:
I can't mount usb, i tried some ways but still failed:
Yesterday, I pluged in the usb again. I has error:
Link of directory: /media/bodhi64/myUsbDrive
Like this pic:
Anyone can help me? Thanks in advance.
It will OK with: convert NTFS to FAT32
Thanks to @atanere
sudo apt-get install gparted
sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
df -h
umount /dev/sdb1
sudo mkntfs --fast --label myUsbDrive /dev/sdb1
mount /dev/sdb1
sudo mount /dev/sdb1
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
Name of usb: /dev/sdb1
- Error mounting /dev/sdb at: command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000" "/dev/sdb1" exited with non-zero exit status 13: $mftmirr does not match $mft (record 0).
- Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': input/output error.
- NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's a softraid/fakeraid hardware.
- In the first case run chkdsk /f on windows then reboot into windows twice.
- The usage of the /f parameter is very important!
- If the device is a softraid/fakeraid then first activate it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g. /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1).
- Please see the 'dmraid' documentation for more details.

Continuing on with the apple-theme from yesterday; researchers have been working on growing hypoallergenic apples. One group has been working on genetically modifying apple trees so that they produce apples containing fewer allergens. Another team has been working on breeding apple trees so that they produce similarly hypoallergenic apples.
Honestly, I think this is kind of ridiculous. Putting aside the potential issues stemming from genetic modification, I still have quibbles with the efforts ti develop hypoallergenic apples. For one thing, apples are not a commonly allergenic food. For another, I think this is taking the wrong approach to the problem. I think research would be better put into determining why people develop allergies and figuring out how to prevent or cure the allergy itself. It's similar to treating symptoms rather than the root cause of an illness. The problem is not the apple.

Global funding for adolescent health misses the target
Even though adolescents make up 26 percent of the population in developing countries, their health claimed a meager 1.6 percent of global development assistance between 2003 and 2016, according to a newly published study led by researchers at Harvard Medical School.
The findings, which appear Aug. 10 in JAMA Network Open, reveal that very little money went to projects geared toward some of the most serious causes of poor adolescent health, such as anemia, injuries and depressive disorders. Similarly, little funding went to support health projects for adolescents known to yield high return on investment, the study found.
While the percentage of funding for adolescent health increased from 1.3 percent to 2.2 percent during the 2003-2016 timeframe, the relatively small proportion of spending destined for adolescent health—even at its highest levels—suggests that adolescent health does not command the attention it deserves from the global community, the researchers said.
"Adolescence is a phase of rapid physical, cognitive and emotional growth that shapes adult health for decades to come," said study senior author Chunling Lu, assistant professor of global health and social medicine at Harvard Medical School. "Considering how important young people are for the future well-being and economic development of low- and middle-income countries, international donors need to reconsider both the levels and the patterns of investments that they are making."
The largest amount of development funding for adolescent health was targeted at HIV and AIDS, followed by interpersonal violence, tuberculosis and diarrheal disease, all of which are among the leading causes of illness and disability for adolescents. However, other leading causes of disease burden in the developing world, including anemia, road injuries and depressive disorders, were largely overlooked by donors, the researchers found. Seriously underfunded areas such as mental health and injury prevention are also known to yield particularly high cost-benefit ratios, the investigators said.
A growing body of research has shown just how critical the growth, health and development that occur during adolescence are to setting the stage for lifelong health. As a result, adolescent health is now a priority in many new international planning guidelines, the researchers said. The rapidly increasing population of adolescents currently growing up in developing countries further demands greater investment in adolescent health, the team added.
"The international donor community has been 'asleep at the wheel' in failing to keep pace with changing demography and health needs," said co-investigator George Patton, of the Centre for Adolescent Health at the Murdoch Children's Research Institute in Melbourne, Australia. "Despite supporting the United Nations' 'Global Strategy for Women's, Children's and Adolescents Health,' international investment from agencies have so far failed to make serious investments in the world's young people."
To determine whether spending patterns were aligned with these new priorities, the researchers assessed how much development assistance has been disbursed to projects for adolescent health in 132 developing countries between 2003 and 2015. For the purposes of the study, adolescents were defined as those between the ages of 10 and 24.
The findings suggest that current spending levels are not sufficient to meet the adolescent health needs of many low- and middle-income countries, the researchers said. Lu noted that a few simple steps could help to greatly improve the situation: While investments in HIV/AIDS should undoubtedly be maintained, donors should also consider investments in other areas, especially those that would greatly lessen the burden of disease among adolescents with cost-effective interventions. In addition, for places and types of interventions where cost effectiveness data are not available, there is an acute need for investment in research to assess the impact of interventions. Evidence from such studies would be invaluable in guiding future resource allocations for adolescent health in comparison to other areas of need, said Lu, who is also an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's Hospital.
"Adolescence is a critical time of life to build the health of the next generation," said Lu. "Our study shows that taking adolescent health to scale will require greater allocation of development funds for adolescent health in general and better targeting toward the major causes of disease burden among adolescents. It's an investment well worth making."

Oat-bran helps to improve constipation management and B12 bioavailability in elderly, with multiple chronic diseases who live in nursing homes. - GreenMedInfo Summary
The status of vitamins B6, B12, folate, and of homocysteine in geriatric home residents receiving laxatives or dietary fiber.
J Nutr Health Aging. 2010 Mar;14(3):219-23. PMID: 20191257
Department of Nutritional Sciences, University of Vienna, Althanstrasse 14, A-1090 Vienna, Austsria. [email protected]
BACKGROUND: Vitamin B12 deficiency as a digestive disorder and constipation as a gastro motility disorder are common in the elderly. Laxative treatment is often chosen without regard for gut health. OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether the addition of oat-bran to the common oral diet for 12 weeks is able to reduce constipation and laxative use and improve gut health. It is assumed that this will lead to improved plasma levels of vitamins B6, B12, folate, and of homocysteine in nursing home residents. METHODS: A controlled, parallel intervention trial. 30 frail patients with multiple chronic diseases, aged 57-98 years, receiving laxative therapy were included. Patients were randomized into a fiber (n=15) and a control group (n=15). The intervention group received 5.2g/d oat-bran for 84 days mixed into the daily common meals. The control group received the ward's habitual diet. Food intake and laxative use were documented and blood samples (on day 01, day 42 and day 84) were collected. Vitamin B12 and folate were analyzed by radioimmunoassay, B6 and homocysteine by RP-HPLC with fluorescence detection, in addition to the routine lab test of albumin and CRP. RESULTS: In the fiber group, the intervention was well tolerated and laxative use decreased significantly (p<0.001). In the control group, plasma B12 decreased faster (p<0.05). In both groups, B6 and folate status remained unchanged. Plasma homocysteine decreased in both groups (p<0.05). General mean energy intake was low (4861.4 kJ/d). CONCLUSION: Oat-bran helps to improve constipation management and B12 bioavailability in elderly, with multiple chronic diseases who live in nursing homes.

I'm going to try and start writing again. We'll see how it goes. Finding time has been my biggest issue, but I need to write, because it is therapy for me. I don't even care if anyone reads it.
I hate this kind of depression. I'm not crying, but I have an incredible heaviness in my chest. Any happiness that appears on the outside is manufactured. A mask. I do not feel joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart. I feel an emptiness. I'm going to start my period any second so I'm assuming this is all hormonal. Still doesn't erase the fact that I'm feeling this way.
I'm going to Houston tomorrow to see my sister. It's a spur of the moment type thing. I've never taken a road trip with just me and the kids before. I'm hoping it all goes smoothly and we have a good time and I don't lose my shit on them when they start to whine and complain.
There is so much I should say. There are so many words stuck in my throat. I am afraid to talk to my husband about most things. I don't know what might piss him off, so I try to keep things light. I don't think he likes me much, although he says he does. When he is angry with me it seems his real feelings come to the surface and what he thinks of me is pretty negative. I feel like he is critical of me, even though nothing is said out loud. I feel like I can't do anything perfectly enough. I hate how I sound right now. I hate myself a lot lately. Yesterday, the thought "I should just fucking kill myself" seeped its way into my brain. I do not actually want to kill myself. I mean, come on. My kids. They deserve better than that! They deserve to have me here, present and engaged in their little lives. But for one brief moment, as I thought about the bills that are coming due, the things that need to be repaired in the house, the clothes that need to be purchased, the groceries that I need to buy, the business, I just thought I should fucking kill myself to escape this bullshit. And holy fuck, the goddamn business. The albatross around our necks. More my husbands neck than mine, since he is in the trenches day in and day out. With a never ending list of responsibilities. I hate that fucking business. I hate that it's taken my husband and my money and my sense of security. I hate it with a passion that I do not dare let come to the surface or I will RAGE RAGE RAGE at my dad for this mess. One might say this mess isn't inherited since we've owned the business for 3 years, but I swear to fucking god we are still un-doing the mess. We bought a sinking ship for 1.2 fucking million dollars. I hate it. I hate, hate, hate it.
And I do not share my feelings with my husband because honestly, it seems counter productive. I try to be positive on the outside, look for bright spots and places to celebrate victories. But what I feel most of the time is fucking pissed.
I have a lot of responsibilities right now. I am expected to be on top of the house, the kids, the laundry, the bills, a small portion of the business and homeschooling. I often feel like I don't do any of them well. I do not want to work for the business anymore. I hate it. I hate everything about it. I don't want to work for my husband. I don't want to work WITH him for that matter. I just want him to deal with the business and I will deal with the house, kids and homeschooling.

At Sotheby's estimate-beating sale in London last night, Gerhard Richter grabbed plenty of attention, with six of the artist's paintings making almost $30 million. But pieces by two of his fellow countrymen, Albert Oehlen and A.R. Penck, fared well also, setting artist records (with a tiny asterisk in the case of Mr. Penck).
Mr. Oehlen, who recently joined the Gagosian gallery, had a large untitled 1989 abstract painting bid up to £445,000 ($699,528), good enough to beat his earlier record, $698,500, by a little more than a thousand dollars. That record was set last November at Sotheby's New York for the identically sized, more manically colored Embraceable You (1994). (All auction information comes from the Artnet price database.)
Meanwhile, an early Penck, Methode, Fertigzuwerden (1965)–showing one of the artist's trademark nude stick figures painting on canvases held aloft by tiny stick figures–sold, with buyer's premium, for £325,250, a record, in sterling pounds, by a wide margin: the previous record was £252,500 for the enormous 1973 work Standart, back in Oct. 2007. However, given the dismal state of the pound, last night's sum was actually less in dollars than that previous record holder, $510,997 to $514,361.

Dentist - Dallas
9788 Walnut St. Suite 100, Dallas, TX 75243
Richardson Dental Care offers a full array of dental services to help you maintain healthy teeth. You can read more on this page about specific services.
The standard recommendation is to visit your dentist twice a year for check-ups and cleanings. This frequency level works well for most people, although some people with gum disease, a genetic predisposition for plaque build-up or cavities, or a weakened immune system might need to visit the dentist more frequently for optimal care.
Also, keep in mind that certain life events particularly those that cause stress or illness might cause changes in the mouth or the development of an infection, and might make more frequent visits to the dentist necessary. At the other extreme, people who have taken great care of their teeth and gums, and have gone years without any problems whatsoever might choose to lengthen the time between visits. Ask your dentist what visitation schedule works best for your state of dental health.
The three biggest reasons that most strongly support the twice-yearly visitation schedule are:
Services we offer include:
If you have a life-threatening or severe injury, call 911 or go directly to the nearest hospital emergency room. We can treat a variety of traumatic dental injuries, including teeth that have been chipped, moved, or knocked out entirely. Please call our office for assistance.
For emergency assistance, please call us at (214) 575-9990.

Opposite Sideline: Matthew Stafford could light up Packers' defense
The lowdown on the Green Bay Packers' next opponent from a beat writer who covers that team.
The Green Bay Packers travel to Detroit to take on the Lions on Sunday with little to play for other than the chance for young players to put some positive things on film for the coaching and personnel staffs heading into 2018.
We spoke with Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press to get an idea of what the Lions will be playing for in the season finale. You can find part of our exchange below and also in the video above.
1. Since both of these teams are locked into their positions in the division with very little to play for, will the Lions be looking at some young players to get a start on evaluation for 2018?
Jim Caldwell said this week that he won't deviate from his approach to past games. That means Matthew Stafford should start and play the entire game at quarterback, but the Lions still will play plenty of rookies and young players. The Lions have eight rookies in their playing group, including starters at linebacker (Jarrad Davis), wide receiver (Kenny Golladay) and in their nickel package (Teez Tabor). They won't play any more than in the past, but they will be on the field a lot.
2. Former Packers offensive lineman Don Barclay has seen some playing time since coming over earlier this season. How has he played for the Lions?
Barclay suffered a concussion in last week's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals and was placed on injured reserve. That was his first start as a Lion, and his third game overall. He was on the field only because of T.J. Lang's injury, and predictably was inconsistent in his play. Lang should be back in the lineup this week.
3. The last time these two teams faced off, the Lions didn't punt once. Is there any reason to think Stafford and the Lions' offense won't walk all over the Packers' defense again?
Stafford should be in for another big game. He's played well at home this season and has a small chance to eclipse 4,500 yards passing for just the fourth time in his career. The Lions can't run the ball, though, and Stafford has taken 45 sacks on the season (tied for the most in his career), so the Lions certainly have their shortcomings on the offensive side of the ball. Still, given the fact that this could be Caldwell's final game as Lions coach, I think the Lions will be plenty motivated for the game.

Chicago (IL) – One hour without any electricity. Do you think Earth is ready for it? Well that's the question that will be asked and answered as this year's Earth Hour is expected to draw global participation. Individuals and companies are urged to turn off their lights, PCs and cell phones for one hour on Saturday with major technology companies participating.
At 8:30pm on Saturday in everyone's respective time zone, individuals all over the world will shut off their lights for an entire hour. The hour has been deemed Earth Hour. Organized by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the event hopes to draw one billion participants. Currently, 84 countries have responded to the WWF that they will be participating. The purpose of the event is to draw awareness for energy conservation, as the WWF is concerned about global warming's impact on humans and wildlife.
"With Earth Hour, millions of people from all walks of life will demonstrate their commitment to take action on climate change," said WWF CEO Carter Roberts in a statement. "Turning off the lights is just the beginning. We're asking everyone to also make commitments to reduce their energy use during the rest of the year and to ask their elected representatives to do the right thing because we need climate legislation now."
Individuals in locations close to major world landmarks — including Acropolis, the Eiffel Tower, The London Eye Ferris wheel, The Pyramids of Egypt- Giza, Niagara Falls, The National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., The Golden Gate Bridge, The Las Vegas Strip, The Saint Louis Gateway Arch, New York City's Broadway theater signs, Rockefeller Center and the Empire State Building — will see that these locations will also go dark.
IT firms are participating this year. The BlackBerry manufacturer, Research in Motion, has launched a special website accessible through certain Blackberry devices to support the event. If you own a Blackberry Bold, Storm, Curve, Curve 8900, 8800 or a Pearl you will have access to the site, which lets you access all news, and videos relating to the event (content not available for non-Blackberry users).
Belkin International issued a memo to businesses and individuals notifying them that they could be saving more electricity by turning off more devices. "Whether the lights are on or off, standby power is using more electricity than you realize and contributing to your personal greenhouse gas emissions," the statement reads. "Standby power, also called vampire power, phantom load or leaking electricity, refers to the electric power consumed by appliances while turned off but still plugged into a power outlet."
The majority of our electricity is produced from the burning of fossil fuels such as natural gas and coal, a processes which emits carbon dioxide believed by many to be a key greenhouse gas which has been linked to global warming. Utilizing solar and wind energy would reduce emissions, but they are not currently utilized on a broad enough scale — due to high costs.
On the long-term, individuals are urged to unplug their unused devices or turn them off, and to also replace battery-powered devices (like rechargeable razors and cordless phones) with corded alternatives. This reduces the amount of standby power needed to charge the battery and reduces the lost energy during battery charging and discharging due to power conversion inefficiencies.
The WWF is also urging small businesses to participate as well. Business owners can register their "Vote for Earth" on the Earth Hour Website, which will then list those companies as active participants. Small businesses are urged to turn off decorative lighting, and power down non-essential electrical components.
Another great way for businesses to participate is to share the event with employees and customers by placing signs in the windows and by sharing the news.
Earth Hour first debuted in 2007 as an event for Sydney, Australia. At that time, the WWF estimated two million people turned off their lights. In 2008, the event grew to 370 cities with an estimated 50 million in participation, having turned off their lights. In 2009, it has already expanded to over 84 countries and may reach one billion people.

Its resort politics time again in Karnataka as all three key players -- ruling Congress and JDS and opposition BJP -- have herded their MLAs in luxury stays to keep their flock intact amid the continuing imbroglio triggered by the legislators' resignation saga.
The JDS has chosen the serene surroundings of Nandi Hill on the city outskirts while its partner Congress opted for a star hotel here, sources in the parties said.
The MLAs of the BJP are staying in the cozy comforts of a resort near Yelahanka here and an ultra luxury hotel.
The ruling combine has been fighting to save its 13-month old government after 16 of its MLAs resigned from the assembly, putting question marks on its survival.
While several rebel MLAs have been staying in a Mumbai hotel since their resignations last Saturday, the Congress and JDS are apparently keen to avoid any further erosion in their strength.
Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy's announcement in assembly Friday he would seek a trust vote and expressing confidence of winning it has only further strengthened the resolve of the parties to keep their numbers intact.
In January this year, the Congress and BJP MLAs were shifted to resorts to avoid poaching following a brief spell of instablity then triggered by two independent MLAs withdrawing their support to the government.
Now, the lush green resort spread over 275 acres on the foothills of Nandi Hill overlooking a lake is bustling with activity as over 30 MLAs of the JDS have been accommodated there for the past three days.
We have booked 34 rooms there. Except for chief minister and a few others, about 30 MLAs are staying there, a senior JD(S) functionary told PTI.
BJP sources said their MLAs have been shifted to a resort and a hotel.
The party is apparently concerned that the ruling side could make an attempt to poach on its MLAs, though former chief minister and senior leader Siddaramaiah Friday ruled out any such move.
They (Congress and JDS) are trying to buy time to make some arrangements to keep the government afloat, despite knowing the fact that its end has come.
They are working on some equations, which I doubt will work, BJP spokesperson S Prakash told PTI.
The woes of the ruling coalition, which has been rocked by dissidence within since last year, mounted after its dismal show in Lok Sabha elections.

Mystic, about the midpoint between NYC and Boston, is a fantastic getaway. In less than a two-hour drive, our family left the sweltering heat of the city for some quiet time in this quaint riverside community. Long before Julia Roberts and Co. made Mystic famous with a little film about a local pizza place (more about that in just a bit), Mystic was a shipbuilding town — there's a rich history here to enjoy along with a sunset sail and walks along the river.
Where To Eat
This rustic, romantic spot was the perfect place to celebrate my wedding anniversary. I'm not usually especially jazzed about tofu, but my Smoked Tofu Salad (quinoa, spinach, mint, roasted carrots, toasted peanuts & ginger apricot dressing) was one of the best salads I've had in a long time. My husband Seth opted for the Crispy Tofu Burger, and there's also a Portobello Burger on the menu. Definitely start with the Black-Eyed Pea Hummus, served with crispy sesame flatbread.
Sister restaurant of The Engine Room, a little more upscale and intimate. When we made our reservation, we gave them a heads up the vegans were coming, though there is a salad and entree that are already do-able. When we arrived, however, the chef wanted to surprise us a bit. So, in lieu of the salad on the menu as a starter, we were served fresh blueberries and basil drizzled with olive oil, and then an equally simple but bursting-with-flavor tomato salad. The entree — available on the regular menu — was a delicious mild tofu curry. If you're up for a cocktail, I recommend a classic martini made with a local Connecticut vodka.
The Treehouse (at The Oyster Club)
Reservation for 8pm at the Oyster Club? Head over early to allow yourself time for a drink at The Treehouse beforehand. You'll climb the wooden stairs to an expansive deck area situated in the treetops — a little playful, a little magical — for a beer, a glass of vine or perhaps even a fruity cocktail. If you're visiting Mystic, this one-of-a-kind place is not to be missed.
A casual atmosphere, with a delicious black bean burger on the menu. We topped ours with sauteed mushrooms and carmelized onions. A nice (and inexpensive) meal, and also very family-friendly: a great choice if you're traveling with kids or a group.
In the heart of downtown, just a stroll away from the drawbridge across the Mystic River. We had a wonderful lunch here, lured in by the Strawberry Basil Bruschetta on the menu, which did not disappoint. We then split a Veggie Panini that was absolutely de-lish: the grilled zucchini, squash, and roasted peppers were cooked just right — not squishy and soggy! And there was a light schmear of black bean hummus on the fresh, slightly crispy bread. I know a veggie panini may not sound particularly exciting but, trust me, this is the way it's meant to be done.
You knew it was coming. How could you visit Mystic and not go to the pizza place that inspired the 1980s Julia Roberts flick? No, the interior looks nothing like the interior of the place in the movie; and even the exterior shots are of a different building, though the film was shot around Mystic. And no, Mystic Pizza is not offering up a bunch of vegan options. But they were happy to veganize the Vegetarian Pie on the menu: hold the cheese and use marinara instead of the usual pizza sauce. The two-story restaurant — no surprise — is very busy (I'm guessing mostly tourists), service is very friendly, and it's very fun to watch scenes from the movie (TV screens in the rooms) as you enjoy "a slice of heaven."
So here's the pizza joint with all the vegan goodies. Lightlife and Gardein products are listed on the separate vegetarian menu that offers all sorts of specialty pies and sandwiches. Meatless meatballs, sausage, and "chicken" are all here. So is vegan Daiya cheese. Lunch or dinner here is a completely different pizza experience from one at Mystic: the thin pie crust is light and crispy; the large patio dining out back is dog-friendly, so our Galileo got to enjoy some pizza with us. Our choice of pie? The Pesto Splash, a "white" pie lightly brushed with pesto, sprinkled with Daiya, and topped with fresh diced tomatoes.
Eat in or take out at this cozy little market. Although the deli area has a couple of veg sandwiches and wraps made to order, we decided to create a plate by choosing from a variety of prepared salads. My plate: wakame salad, Asian cabbage slaw, and roasted sweet potatoes with black beans. Seth was in the mood for a heavier lunch of vegan dumplings and noodles.
We didn't have time to make our own stop here, but I believe it's always important to know where one can get a falafel in town, should she have a hankering…
Where To Stay:
We always want to make sure our family vacation is a comfortable, relaxing, and fun experience for our Galileo, too. Most times, we'll opt for a dog-friendly B&B. For this trip, we went with a more conventional hotel experience. A couple of the days we were visiting were particularly warm and humid, which meant Galileo stayed in the cool air-conditioned room for a lot of the day, whether with us or while we were out exploring. The dog-friendly rooms at The Hyatt ($75 non-refundable fee) include a separate sitting and kitchen area, so he had plenty of space to move around.
Kudos to the hotel for being human-friendly, too — more specifically, vegan-friendly. The complimentary breakfast buffet had quite a few options for us, from fresh fruit and cereal to oatmeal with all the fixins. It's disappointing that the hotel does not yet offer nondairy milk along with its breakfast; but after we asked about it on our first morning there, a staff member bought both soy and almond milk for us (delivered it to our room, to keep in our fridge). Now, I'd just like to see them have it available for all the guests as a usual thing…
Where To Play:
Mystic Seaport, Museum of America and the Sea
A main attraction in Mystic is its Aquarium. However, as an animal rights advocate, I strongly urge you not to support this kind of use of animals. Steer clear of the aquarium! If you're interested in seeing marine life, keep driving north and get yourself to Cape Cod, where you can see dolphins and whales in the protected Stellwagen Bank Sanctuary.
The Mystic Seaport Museum, on the other hand, is a must for the to-do list. It's a bit pricey ($25 for an adult ticket) but that one ticket gets you into quite an impressive set of exhibits and attractions, everything from old ships to the recreation of an 1800s village and shipyard. I was particularly interested to see the last surviving wooden whaling ship, the Charles W. Morgan: as I walked through the rooms of the ship, I was reminded of my Literature days spent poring over Melville; I also was feeling very thankful for the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, which protects marine mammals (including whales) within U.S. waters.
East Beach (Westerly/Watch Hill)
For some beach time, I highly recommend taking the short drive (25 minutes) to nearby Watch Hill, Rhode Island. The surrounding neighborhood is beautiful, kind of a smaller-scale Newport; the water is clear and not too rough, so swimmers of all ages can enjoy the day. Find your parking near the center of town and the Watch Hill & Carousel Beach; then walk up the street towards The Ocean House, where you'll find a short path to the free public East Beach. Less hectic than the shoreline at the carousel, it's the perfect place to relax, build a sand castle, and soak up the sunshine.

Walker Stapleton's campaign for Governor should be happy about this. Probably.
Going to support Walker Stapleton Saturday. There are two issues that matter most to me, opposition to sanctuary cities and electability.
— Tom Tancredo (@TancredoTom) April 11, 2018
You might recall that Tom Tancredo lit into Stapleton's candidacy after dropping out of the race for Governor in late January. In an interview with Westword on January 30, Tancredo more than suggested that his candidacy was derailed by Stapleton supporters:
"It's just the way it is. Nobody has to create it. Walker Stapleton is the ultimate insider, and I'm the ultimate outsider — and nothing has changed except that, in the past, I was able to raise enough money to make things doable, at least from my point of view. I raised $1 million the last time during the primary. But we weren't going to be able to get anywhere near that this time."…
…"At this point, I will endorse the Republican candidate, because the alternative is so bad," he maintains. "That's another reason why I got out: I don't want to risk it. Jared Polis is a radical leftist. Even though he's trying his best to become a moderate in the eyes of the general public, I think he's beatable — but the only way you can beat him is to have enough money to pull back the curtain and show who's really behind it. Jared Polis is not Mr. Moderate, but he has so much money that he can concoct the kind of picture he wants."
To counter such efforts, Tancredo goes on, "Maybe Walker can go through his Rolodex" — a reference to Stapleton being a member of the extended Bush family that has already given the United States two presidents. "And if he looks like he could be a viable candidate, that should convince the Republican Governors Association to help. But it's going to take a lot."
In Tancredo's view, Stapleton will also face Colorado voters' traditional antipathy for any candidate portrayed as inevitable: "That's absolutely something he's going to have to overcome. I would have had to prove that I'm not the Devil incarnate — not a wild-eyed racist who meets on Lookout Mountain with others wearing sheets. But Walker will have to defend himself against being that ultimate insider, and I hope he has the ability and I hope he's successful, if he's the nominee."
You know what they say:
Time Two months heals all wounds.

Award sees Council reach its:
- 2020 energy management requirements ahead of schedule
- 4% ahead of energy efficiency set target of 33%
- Significant cost savings of €637,807 achieved since 2012
- Energy savings of 4 million kilowatt hours (KWh) since 2012.
Cork County Council this week became the first Local Authority in Ireland to be fully accredited to ISO50001, the international standard for energy management, and in achieving this accreditation has now reached its legislative requirements under the EU Energy Efficiency Regulations 2014 ahead of schedule. These Regulations oblige all Public Sector bodies falling within certain specified criteria to carry out comprehensive organization wide energy audits or become ISO 50001 compliant by June 2016.
In receiving this award Cork County Council is the first and only local authority in the country to achieve this highly significant recognition and accreditation for its whole of service energy management system which has considerable positive implications for energy saving and carbon emissions long-term.
Tim Lucey, Chief Executive of Cork County Council, on announcing the accreditation and acknowledging his colleagues achievements said: 'Streamlining our services and minimising our carbon footprint is top of mind for all of us as we face into the future, therefore this ISO 50001 accreditation is a significant achievement for any local authority given the diversity of services they are required to offer, not least for County Cork, Ireland's largest county.'
'This accreditation, delivered ahead of time, has been achieved primarily through the focused efforts of the Energy Management Action Plan (E-Map) Team, a multi-disciplinary group led by the Environment Directorate within the County Council. This team, which was set up in 2012, has exceeded every national target set, has overseen more than 100 individual actions county-wide, all of which positively contributed to the organisation reaching its 2020 energy efficiency targets as set out under Ireland's 3rd National Energy Efficiency Action Plan 2014-2017. In achieving ISO50001 accreditation far in advance of the target date they have demonstrated what can be achieved through teamwork, focus and dedication to a goal. As Chief Executive I am very proud of their achievements'.
The initiative was set up with the assistance of Sustainable Energy Authority Ireland (SEAI) with the primary objective to develop, implement and monitor individual energy actions which will positively contribute to Cork County Council reducing its energy consumption, thereby reducing its carbon emissions.
Ireland's National Energy Efficiency Action Plan sets the public sector a target of a 33% improvement in Energy Efficiency each year to 2020 from a 2009 baseline. At present Cork County Council is 4% ahead of this target having saved 4 million kilowatt hours (KWh) of energy to-date, the equivalent to the annual energy usage of c.330 semi-detached homes in Ireland.
The Mayor of the County of Cork, Cllr. John Paul O'Shea mentioned how delighted he was to again witness first hand Cork County Council's commitment to innovation. 'This year as Mayor I have had the honour of cutting the tape at many important openings and I have received international guests from China, the US and across Europe as we continually strive to ensure that our County is at the forefront of economic growth and is recognised internationally as a prime location in which to do business and also to visit as a tourist. I feel blessed to have overseen a great year for Cork County and it should be pointed out that it is the efforts behind the scenes such as this one from our Energy MAP Team in achieving ISO50001, that make our overall offering a much more attractive one. In achieving this International accreditation our County is again leading the way for local authorities across the country and I commend all involved for the great work done to date'.

Ken Ham, We Need a Better Conversation (Perhaps Over Dinner?)
BioLogos president Deb Haarsma responds to Ken Ham's recent comments about Hugh Ross, and pleads for a more gracious conversation between Christians on issues of faith and science.
While BioLogos specifically promotes evolutionary creation, we are passionate about creating and modeling gracious dialogue with all sincere, Bible-believing Christians from all perspectives on faith and science. We count as friends many Christians on all sides of the origins, and we publish this response in the hopes that it will lead to greater unity. Even though we and Ken Ham frequently disagree, we are bound by shared commitments and we hope that these common bonds can always stay at the forefront of our conversation.
I was troubled to read the recent blog post by Ken Ham, president of Answers in Genesis, about Hugh Ross, president of Reasons to Believe. I have known Hugh for years as a fellow astronomer and a fellow Christian. BioLogos has been in dialogue with Hugh Ross and other leaders at Reasons to Believe, including a public conversation he and I had last February.
To be clear, the views of BioLogos differ from those of Reasons to Believe. The two organizations do not agree on the interpretation of Bible passages; BioLogos typically discusses them in terms of the original non-scientific audience rather than a day-age concordism. However, both groups strongly agree that the entire Bible is inspired by God and is his authoritative word for our lives. The groups also do not agree about the best understanding of the evidence in God's creation about the development of life—at BioLogos we present multiple lines of evidence for the common ancestry of all species, i.e. that God used natural processes to bring about life rather than a string of separate miracles. However, both groups accept the abundant evidence in God's creation that the history of the universe and of life is far longer than 6,000 years, and have explained this on their websites. Yes, this long time scale raises questions about death and suffering (which both groups address) but Ham's summary does not reflect the important distinction between animal death and human death. Neither group would say that evil is God's fault!
What troubled me most, however, is the way this article attacks the character and integrity of Hugh Ross. Anyone who has met Hugh or heard him speak knows that he is a devoted and humble follower of Christ. Hugh is not "enamored with whatever else evolutionary secular scientists have to say." He is committed to seeking the truths God has revealed in the Bible and the truths God has revealed in his Creation. Hugh is one of the most intelligent people I have ever met and his PhD in astronomy is well-earned. He is also one of the most humble people I have ever met. To say he "love[s] the praise of men more than the praise of God" is completely unwarranted.
All three organizations love the Bible and strive to follow Christ. While we disagree significantly on how best to interpret the Bible and the scientific evidence, we would agree that these are secondary issues to the gospel. We are all still believers together. Can we refrain from so quickly calling each other "compromised Christians" or flat-out "wrong"? Instead, we could work together to explain our differing positions to the church. BioLogos has begun joint presentations in churches with Reasons to Believe, and have found that Christians are thirsty for this kind of gracious and thoughtful conversation.
All three organizations are also concerned about the departure of young people from the church over origins issues. Each tends to think that the positions of the others are contributing to the problem! But studies have shown that it is the acrimony over this issue that drives young people away. We respect the commitment that Reasons to Believe has demonstrated to gracious dialogue with those of other positions. We completely agree with Hugh Ross that "If we Christians can resolve this issue in a peaceful way it's going to attract non-Christians to enter into dialogue with us. But if we continue to fight…it turns them off." Perhaps Ken Ham could join Hugh Ross and me for a friendly conversation over dinner? My treat.

To be held in September
Three days from Modena to Turin, with a racetrack stop in Cremona, to celebrate Maserati's first century. With a prelude in Bologna at the Fountain of Neptune, which inspired Maserati's logo.
Johannesburg, 6 June 2014 — The International Maserati Centennial Gathering will be held from September 18 through September 20. The world event will begin in Modena on Thursday, September 18, and end in Turin on Saturday, September 20. The three days will see a succession of exhibitions, parades, a regularity race, a track test, a visit to the two Maserati factories and a concours d'elegance. Cars and collectors from all over the world are expected to be in attendance.
A hundred years have gone by since, in December of 1914, Alfieri Maserati and his brothers Ettore and Ernesto opened the first car repair workshop in a basement on Via de' Pepoli, Bologna. Here, before Italy entered the First World War and in the months that immediately followed the end of the conflict, they began to prepare and modify cars for themselves. These were the first steps of a company that, in time, was to become an international icon of Italian motoring.
The Maserati Centennial Gathering will begin on the morning of Thursday, September 18 in Modena, with the arrival of historic and contemporary participating vehicles and their display in some of the most captivating urban spaces around the town. The program for the afternoon will commence with a visit to the Exhibition at the Museo Casa Enzo Ferrari which is dedicated to the Maserati Centennial, followed by a stop at the historic Viale Ciro Menotti factory, where Maserati GranTurismos, GranCabrios and the Alfa Romeo 4C roll off the production lines every day, for dinner.
The next day, Friday, September 19, participants will make their way to Turin. The first stop is the San Martino del Lago Circuit near Cremona, which will host track sessions and pay homage to Baconin Borzacchini and his Maserati V4 '16 cylinder, in which the Italian driver set – in Cremona – a new Flying 10-Kilometre land speed record on 28 September 1929. After the activity on the track, the Maserati convoy will parade through the streets of Cremona before racing on to Turin. The cars will line up on Piazza Castello in Piedmont's main city where a gala dinner at the Reggia of Venaria palace will take place in the evening.
Scheduled for the morning of Saturday, September 20, the third and final day of the event, are a visit to the Avv. Giovanni Agnelli Plant, where Maserati Ghiblis and Quattroportes are built, and the final leg of the regularity race, towards the Basilica of Superga. In the afternoon, a Concours d'Elegance in Piazza San Carlo will conclude the festivities.
A curtain-raiser event for the three days will be staged in Bologna on Wednesday, September 17. On that day, Maserati collectors can have their photos taken with their car next to the Fountain of Neptune, the inspiration for Maserati's logo, and get to see the exact location – Via de' Pepoli 1 – where Maserati was born one hundred years ago.
Maserati customers and fans are encouraged to access the Centennial Gathering section on the maserati100.it (Italian) and maserati100.com (English) sites for all information pertaining to participation in this event.

I was thrilled to get an email from Ariel Sanabria (Class 1 Teacher at The Brearley School) inviting me to join a LEGO Serious Play workshop facilitated and designed by Heidi Brant. Heidi is a Serious Play Pro, and this morning, the Class 1 teaching team explored independently and collaboratively for 90-minutes under Heidi's guidance. Each exercise consisted of the following 4 steps: Challenge, Build, Share, Reflect.
We were presented with a variety of LEGO pieces in individual ziploc bags. Our first Challenge was to create a tower that started with a black flat as the base, consisted only of green and yellow pieces, and had a flag at the top. Being me, I misheard Heidi and thought she said we should top our tower with a flat, and as I was absorbed in the task and didn't look up, I carefully reserved my yellow flat pieces to top my structure (unlike everyone else who had a flag topper). This Build time was paired with Heidi's curated musical choices playing in the background, and then we were asked to hold our structures in our hands and Share our designs. After everyone had a chance to speak, we had additional time to Reflect on the experience. These days, I'm finding it a more comfortable challenge to be creative with constraints rather than without constraints. Total freedom can feel almost paralyzing…
The second challenge was to build a structure which represented our frame of mind. Many of us had thoughts of summer vacation on the brain (coincidence?), and my neighbor and I both built beds. Using LEGOs to explain something intangible seems very accessible and similar to asking someone to tell a story, draw a picture, write a poem, etc. to illustrate inside thoughts/feelings.
As Class 1 studies structures and NYC landmarks, the third challenge was to choose a landmark and represent its personality as a LEGO design. I chose The High Line Park and tried to convey how it's flexible, ever-evolving, generous with its offerings, and constantly on display and watched by all the visitors. Among other insightful and creative designs and explanations, my neighbor had a really interesting take on the Flat Iron Building.
The fourth challenge was to work in groups to construct and name a new landmark which incorporated a component from each of our individual designs. There were 8 of us, so we formed two groups of 4. My group included moving/flexible parts from my High Line interpretation, secret nooks from the teacher who created Grand Central Station, symmetry from the Chrysler Building, and happy colors from the teacher who constructed the personality of her parents' backyard. We decided on a maze-like design for our group-building exercise which included these four elements.
Here are additional images from the workshop:

Porcelain Veneers in Denver, CO
We've seen some truly remarkable advances in modern dental treatments in the last decade. Until now, if you wanted to make certain cosmetic changes to your smile, dental crowns were your best choice. But now we also have the option of using versatile porcelain veneers to deliver beautiful esthetic results.
If you look in the mirror any smile imperfections, we'd like to help you explore your best options at Litvak & Woller Esthetic Comprehensive Dentistry. Dental porcelain is a perfect material for these types of repairs because it has the same translucent qualities as natural dental enamel. Veneers don't require extensive preparation, and in just a few visits you'll be enjoying a stunning new smile.
Veneers Bring Out Your Best Smile
Our dental team in Denver, CO is always thrilled to see how our porcelain veneers patients react to their newly transformed smile. Dr. Litvak and Dr. Woller's experience and expertise in placing natural-looking porcelain veneers ensures that you'll be thrilled with the results every time you pass a mirror!
If you're bothered by a smile that doesn't enhance your appearance, porcelain veneers are definitely an option we'd like to help you explore. You'll be amazed to see the dramatic effect that veneers can have on your self-confidence, because looking great makes you feel great.
Porcelain veneer treatment does require an investment of time and money on your part, so we want you to be delighted with the outcome. However, before we decide if veneers are right for you, we'll talk to you about your expectations to make sure that the outcome is in line with your goals.
A Versatile & Durable Cosmetic Solution
Porcelain veneers offer an esthetic solution for patients of many ages. Veneers can be used to correct a variety of common cosmetic problems, such as:
- Small imperfections like chipped or cracked dental enamel
- Discolored, stained, or dull teeth
- Uneven spaces and gaps between teeth
- Poorly proportioned teeth
- Minor misalignment of teeth
How Porcelain Veneers in Denver, CO Work
Once our Cherry Creek dentists have discussed your options and decided that porcelain veneers are right for you, we'll start by painlessly removing a very small amount of surface tooth enamel. The amount removed is about the same thickness as the veneer, leaving just enough space for the veneer to fit precisely and look natural.
Next, we'll take an impression that's used to make an accurate mold of your teeth. The mold is then sent to our highly skilled dental artisan where your veneers are custom-crafted. In about four weeks, your finished veneers will be ready and you'll return to our Denver dentist office. We will fit, and then bond the veneers securely to the surface of your teeth. Temporary veneers are crafted in order to give you a natural and comfortable appearance while your real veneers are made.
Restore Your Smile at Our Cherry Creek Dentist Office
Everyone wants a smile that is attractive and lets his or her true personality shine through. Dr. Litvak, Dr. Woller, and our team are here to help you achieve your goal of teeth that are not only healthy, but also beautiful.
Please give our Cherry Creek dentist office a call at (303) 777-8850, and we'll be happy to help you set up a consultation to learn about porcelain veneers.
