Former DEA chief warns of cooperation between Hezbollah and drug cartels
From: CNS News.
The Iranian-supported Shi'ite terrorist group Hezbollah has spread its influence all the way to the U.S. border with Mexico, a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on Iran's influence in the Western Hemisphere heard on Thursday.
Michael Braun, a former chief of operations at the Drug Enforcement Agency, said Hezbollah had developed relationships with the powerful Mexican drug cartels to "move their agenda forward." He cited a plot, recently uncovered by the DEA, involving an Iranian operative in Mexico allegedly: planning to assassinate the Saudi ambassador: in Washington, D.C.
"Hezbollah are absolute masters at forming close relationships with existing organized crime groups around the world that helps them facilitate what they need to do to move their agendas forward," Braun told CNSNews.com following the hearing. "And if anyone thinks for a moment that they don't have their eye on the southwest border and all of our country, then they couldn't be more wrong."
In his prepared remarks Braun, who also served as interim director of the Department of Justice's Drug Intelligence Fusion Center, said Hezbollah and other terrorist groups understand that the Mexican cartels are already operating successfully inside the United States.
"If anyone thinks for one moment that these terrorist organizations do not understand that the Mexican drug trafficking cartels now dominate drug trafficking in our country — reportedly in more than 250 cities — than they are very stupid or very naive," he said.
"And these groups most assuredly recognize the strategic value of exploiting that activity, and all that has been built to support it, for moving their vision forward in this part of the world."
This is disturbing particularly given the news of: Iran's new Spanish-language TV channel in Venezuela.
Iran and Hezbollah
The Washington Times: reports: on arms sales from China to Iran.
China is continuing to provide advanced missiles and other conventional arms to Iran and may be doing so in violation of U.N. sanctions against the Tehran regime, according to a draft report by the congressional U.S.-China Commission. "China continues to provide Iran with what could be considered advanced conventional weapons," the report of the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission says. According to the report, which will be made public Nov. 16, China sold $312 million worth of arms to Iran, second only to Russia, after Congress passed the Iran Freedom Support Act in 2006 that allows the U.S. government to sanction foreign companies that provide advanced arms to Iran. The report also noted that, after Russia began cutting back arms transfers to Iran in 2008, China became the largest arms supplier to the Iranian military. Most of the weapons transfers involved sales of Chinese anti-ship cruise missiles, including C-802 missiles that China promised the United States in 1997 would not be exported to Iran. China also built an entire missile plant in Iran last year to produce the Nasr-1 anti-ship cruise missile.
The Nasr-1 has a range of 19 miles. The C-802 has a range of 75 miles. That means that the C-802 has about the same range as a Harpoon SSM. Not good. I am not worried about the Nasr-1, but the C-802 is a problem. These weapons could be used by terrorists to attack allied naval vessels. In fact, the New York Times reported that: Hezbollah, a terrorist group linked to Iran,used the C-802 missile to sink an Israeli Saar 5 corvette back in 2006.
The power and sophistication of the missile and rocket arsenal that: Hezbollah: has used in recent days has caught the: United States: and: Israel: off guard, and officials in both countries are just now learning the extent to which the militant group has succeeded in getting weapons from: Iran: and: Syria.
While the Bush administration has stated that cracking down on weapons proliferation is one of its top priorities, the arming of Hezbollah shows the blind spots of American and other Western intelligence services in assessing the threat, officials from across those governments said.
American and Israeli officials said the successful attack last Friday on an Israeli naval vessel was the strongest evidence to date of direct support by Iran to Hezbollah. The attack was carried out with a sophisticated antiship cruise missile, the C-802, an Iranian-made variant of the Chinese Silkworm, an American intelligence official said.
At the same time, American and Israeli officials cautioned that they had found no evidence that Iranian operatives working in: Lebanon: launched the antiship missile themselves.
But neither Jerusalem nor Washington had any idea that Hezbollah had such a missile in its arsenal, the officials said, adding that the Israeli ship had not even activated its missile defense system because intelligence assessments had not identified a threat from such a radar-guided cruise missile.
[…]Officials said it was likely that Iran trained Hezbollah fighters on how to successfully fire and guide the missiles, and that members of Iran's Al Quds force – the faction of the Revolutionary Guards that trains foreign forces – would not necessarily have to be on the scene to launch the C-802.
At the same time, some experts said Iran was not likely to deploy such a sophisticated weapon without also sending Revolutionary Guard crews with the expertise to fire the missile.
Note that this is the same Quds force that likely trained Iraqi terrorists in the use of IEDs and is: suspected of being involved: with the recent attack on the Saudi ambassador on American soil.

Don't go looking for logic. KHILADI 786 delivers what it promises, action and comedy. Nothing more, nothing less.
If you are willing to just keep your feet up and have a relaxed time, KHILADI 786 is your type of a game. The action is comic in its execution and the comedy at some stages is hilarious.
Khiladi 786 Movie Download ||| Download Khiladi 786 Full Movie Free HD Quality Video Link. Himesh Reshammiya writes for debutant Ashish R Mohan, a protégé of Rohit Shetty, and has churned out a masala comedy/action entertainer. Bahattar Singh (Akshay Kumar) is a hired fake cop for Punjab Police who despite being his dashing self is an absolute non-eligible bachelor courtesy of his profession. Indu Tendular (Asin) is a gutsy Marathi girl, sister to one of the most feared dons of Mumbai, Tatya Tukaram Tendulakar (Mithun Chakraborty). Unlike Bahattar it's her brother's profession that renders her as not exactly the most desirable wife and daughter-in-law in town. Aspiring matchmaker Manuskh (Himesh Reshammiya) by fate's twists and turns ends up being assigned the task to find Tatya's sister a nice suitable boy. He takes up the challenge as a chance to finally prove his matchmaking talents to his father. However, both families are exactly what the other does not want, as they're hardly the upstanding citizens they want for in-laws. How a grand façade is put up to execute this wedding is what Khiladi 786 is all about.
The biggest surprise in Khiladi 786 is not the performance or a twist in the story but rather the fact that Himesh wrote such a wholesome entertainer. No doubt its one cleverly crafted script that has the potential to reel the masses in quite effortlessly. The movie's general premise of adopting fake identities to win a bride/groom may remind you of Salman Khan and Asin starrer Ready however Khiladi 786 has enough of its own unique elements to not be lost in the Aziz Bazmee blockbuster's shadows.
Beyond the numbers, caricatures abound: a tough Punjabi munda whose fists are as fast as lightning when he takes on the baddies; a feisty Marathi mulgi who turns into a maniac when she gets behind the wheels of a car; and a luckless Gujju boy who cannot stay out of trouble.
Neither is that all – a Canadian mother, a Chinese aunt and an African grandmother are added to the broth. It's the united colours of Punjab. Khiladi 786 is every bit as hopelessly mixed-up as that sounds.
It might make good business sense for a Bollywood A-lister to lay his claims on an old, lucrative franchise, but the sport that the khiladi plays on the comeback trail is going to be anything but a game-changer.
Khiladi 786 Movie Download ||| Download Khiladi 786 Full Movie Free HD Quality Video Link. Ashish delivers a film that entertains and keeps you engaged for the most part however one cannot deny that some portions definitely irk. The multicultural element to the Singh family for one is a comedy portion you simply don't find amusing or humorous in any way. In fact it comes across as rather offensive to those cultures. There also seems to be too many characters thus forcing the writer to give them screen-time. This means that portions definitely end up looking dragged. Surely the end revelation of the family's identity could have done without having to write Mili-Bhagat's characters in. Johnny Lever is unfortunately one of those additions.
Very little can be said about Akshay Kumar because a role like this is something he could possibly do in his sleep yet you see him giving it his 200% energy, which is oh so commendable. You particularly notice this in songs, which are something he could have slacked off on yet he's there completely with oodles of energy. Asin on the other hand is the heroine you want to whistle for when she enters! Her character is a kick-ass gutsy Marathi mulgi and she pulls it off effortlessly. She may not be doing your serious female character orientated films but sure has a knack for selecting masala scripts that definitely have some scope for her. The film has a killer of a supporting cast but since the jokes around the Singh family come across offensive you don't tend to appreciate Raj Babbar and gang as much. Himesh and Mithun, however, most definitely shine. Hope Himesh keeps it real from hear onwards and opts for supporting roles rather than attempting to carry a whole film on his shoulders because he really was quite entertaining in this film.
Songs of Khiladi 786 are expertly edited into the screenplay and whilst they don't appear onscreen for the whole duration of the recorded track, you're glad for it! The running time hardly needed to be any longer and you enjoy the songs plenty for the short span they appear onscreen for.
A special shout out has to go to art direction and cinematography. The film is colors galore! From the Singh's iconic truck to Akshay Kumar's kurtas and shoes! Indian cinema is all too often defined as an explosion of colors and for Khiladi 786 that is every bit true.
Khiladi 786 Movie Download ||| Download Khiladi 786 Full Movie Free HD Quality Video Link. Ashish R Mohan makes a debut that definitely doesn't feel like a debut. You most certainly see the Rohit Shetty's grooming onscreen, especially since the obsession with cars remains with the protégé. What works for the film is that it delivers what the promos promised. It was always marketed to be an out and out over the top typical Bollywood masala entertainer and that is what it is to its very core. If masala is what you're looking for definitely book a ticket for the return of Khiladi!
Look who's out to steal Salman Khan's thunder. After Ajay Devgn flirted with the foolproof Salman Formula in Son Of Sardaar, it is Akshay Kumar's turn to give it a shot. Akki does a great job too, but the film in question fails him.
The bandwagon that Akshay rides here predictably cocktails brainless slapstick with the filmy action punch and hits top gear with the naach-gaana kitsch laced in. It's all perfectly parcelled for a 100-crore thump. But silly spectacle can make for an engaging watch only if it is packaged with imagination, which isn't happening in Khiladi 786.

will dominion be part of ranked games,also when you solo que will dominion and SR use the same elo or will everyone have separate elos for each map?
Madman Reborn
I figure seperate elos for each map. And yes dominion will eventually have a ranked ladder however they will only do this a few several months after the release so that everybody has a good feel for the new playstyle before making it ranked.
Archlord Mythos
They have said that ranked play will not be released alongside of Dominion, but it is a possibility in the future. They are planning for both a normal and draft mode, however.

At the heart of every great people pleaser is the best of intentions of wanting to be liked by the other person. And that is why people pleasers, as "nice" as they are, are never fully trusted by the target of their affections.
When someone wants to please a person, that is OK, provided that the http://panorender.com/50-mg-viagra canangoknil.com person feels the attention is earned. The problem is that a people pleaser is "too nice" by nature. People pleasers see themselves as being appropriate, while their dates feel a vibe of insincerity. In the minds of potential partners, no one is that nice, unless there have ulterior motives. In fact, that is the paradox of the people pleaser. They don't want the other person's money, resources, or even material possessions. All they want is to be liked.
Because people pleasers want to be liked so badly, they allow themselves to be disrespected. One of the principles to make any relationship work is that it MUST be more important to the person to want to be respected by your potential partner, instead of being liked. If all you know how to do is to be liked, you will get ATTENTION, but you will struggle to find any long lasting and sarahvonderheide.com legitimate intimacy. No one loves a person that does not have his or her respect as well. People will "like" a people pleaser, but people will never fully "respect" nor "trust" a people pleaser. Without respect and trust, there can be no love. There can be "like", even "lust" in some cases, but never a love that leads to commitment.
At the source of a people pleaser, is fear: The fear of confrontation, the fear of being abandoned, and the fear of being mean or insulting. That is why people pleasers lack boundaries. Without proper boundaries, a people pleaser does not have to deal with any of that unpleasantness nor do they have to act in ways in which they might self identify with their own abusers who were mean or insulting to the pleaser. Unfortunately, that repeating behavior pattern can only lead to attracting and being attracted to people that would continually take advantage of the people pleaser.
The skill of people pleasing can, but not always, be sourced to emotionally abusive upbringings. Depending on the severity of the mental and emotional abusive, the people pleaser skill set is likely what allowed a number of children to survive unhealthy family environment where unpredictable adult temperament behaviors ran rampant. A child learns to be a people pleaser in order to appease and maintain the http://beyondbespoke.co/bbedit/get-levitra-cheap peace with emotionally unhealthy adults. When that child grows up, they take those behavior patterns; they now associate to attachment, and get stuck in emotionally unhealthy relationships. When a people pleaser is actually with someone that appreciate them without the we like it unreasonable expectation of having to be pleased every step of the way, a people pleaser will often not be able to recognize that as an emotionally healthy dynamic and will often find themselves feeling empty.
There are good qualities to being a people pleaser. Being a people pleaser is a great quality in the correct context. On the job, the characteristics of a great people pleaser make for excellent customer care service. Some of the most independent self-employed workers are amazing people pleasers. So are people who excel at being support staff.
But in romantic relationships, being a people pleaser will only net you the kinds of partners who are too insecure to manage a partner who understands how to prioritize the needs of the relationship, the needs of the partner and the needs of the people pleaser. There is a difference between being a giving person and mavericktester.com being a people pleaser. A giving person gives what they can without giving up so much, that they themselves end up sacrificing their own needs. For example, a student has an exam to study for the next day, and gets a call from her boyfriend to come over because he is feeling a little lonely. The giving person weighs the options of her own need to study, and her desire to keep her boyfriend happy. In the event that the boyfriends' request is not dire (they can see each other after her exam) and her own need for study is very important, a giving person would put her own needs in priority. It does not take away from her being a giving person; it just means she can acknowledge what is more important at the moment. A people pleaser however, would want the approval of her boyfriend so badly, that she would jeopardize her exam, just because she wants to keep her boyfriend from being slightly upset. See the difference?
Why does it not work in relationships? Let's say you are on a date, and your date asks you a common date question, such as why did you chose your current profession, what is your favorite meal, or are you looking to try and have sex with me tonight?
A people pleaser will ONLY give the answers that they think the other person WANTS to hear…but not the answer they would actually want to give. This leads to unrealistic expectations on both parts. The people pleaser expects that EVERYONE behaves like a people pleaser, and thus doesn't factor in how misleading they are actually being on a first date. The potential partner, who is unaware of the people pleasing behavior pattern, takes what is being communicated at face value…only to discover at a later time, the person they are dating is not what they thought.
It does not stop there. People pleaser will please others to the point of feeling anger and resentment for doing things they initially agreed to do, because they feel they cannot say no. Eventually, the pleasers…EXPLODE! Partners get the brunt of the explosion, and end up feeling resentful too, because they are not mind readers. And rightly so, however part of being a surviving people pleaser is the anticipation of the dysfunctional emotional cues of the adults they grew up with. The biggest mistake that people pleasers make is the assumption that everyone had to survive childhood acting a like a people pleaser.
To simplify why people pleasers do not generate trust in relationships, here is a symbolic analogy: people pleasers are just like sheep. You can trust a Sheppard to be a good Sheppard as long as there is a value for value relationship going on (respect). You can trust a wolf to be a wolf, because you can acknowledge the good and bad in a wolf, and the wolf never tries to be anything other than a wolf (trust). But you can never trust a sheep. Sheep are too afraid of confrontation, run in whatever direction someone makes them run in, and will always bow down (Baa down?) to a more dominant character. You can never trust a sheep as long as someone more intimidating comes by to turn the visit our site sheep away from you.
So the next time you are on a date, and you end up in a situation where you need to communicate and or enforce a boundary, and you have a choice to make: Speak your mind and don't be a sheep.

Gallup Fraud Probe Nabs Ex-FEMA OfficialTweet
January 4, 2013
On Wednesday, federal prosecutors in Washington, DC, filed a criminal complaint charging former Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) official Timothy Cannon with steering contracts to The Gallup Organization while seeking a job with the company.
Cannon served as Director of Human Capital at FEMA from 2007 to 2009. The government alleges Cannon participated in the award of contracts to Gallup (identified as "Company A" in the complaint) while he was negotiating a $175,000-a-year job with the company. According to NBC News, Cannon plans to plead guilty to one felony count of violating federal conflict of interest laws.
Cannon's prosecution is part of a larger corruption case involving Gallup, a world-renowned polling services company and federal contractor. Back in August 2012, POGO blogged about the Department of Justice (DOJ) intervening in a whistleblower lawsuit accusing Gallup of overcharging the federal government millions of dollars on contracts with several agencies, including FEMA. Former Gallup employee Michael Lindley filed the lawsuit in 2009. In November 2012, the DOJ filed a civil complaint in the case, and Lindley, who is pursuing several claims on his own, filed an amended complaint.
The civil fraud case blames lax training and weak managerial oversight at Gallup for the alleged overbilling. The criminal charges against Cannon also paint an unflattering picture of Gallup's corporate culture, implying that the questionable conduct went all the way to the top of the company. The criminal complaint quotes emails from Gallup employees, including chief executive officer James Clifton, in which they discuss offering a job to Cannon despite obvious ethical red flags. In the end, those ethical concerns, bolstered by a fear of losing FEMA's business, led Gallup to revoke its offer to hire Cannon.
Charges could soon be brought against current and former Gallup employees, too. In the Cannon criminal complaint, the government cites one particularly damning email in which Clifton admitted that his company "broke some of the rules" with regard to Cannon. As POGO noted when we last blogged about the Gallup investigation, the government can pursue criminal charges under the conflict of interest laws against both the job seeker and the prospective employer. This happened several years ago when Air Force official Darleen Druyun and Boeing executive Michael Sears each got a prison term for negotiating a job for Druyun at Boeing while the Air Force was in the process of awarding a $20 billion aircraft lease deal to the company.
Update: On January 15, 2013, Timothy Cannon pleaded guilty to a charge of violating federal conflict of interest laws. Sentencing is scheduled for April 9, 2013. Cannon faces a maximum of five years in prison.

A little bit about me... I'm a positive, social person who loves to laugh. People say I'm not your typical teacher type and I'm hoping this is true. Although I love my job, I do like fun times away from work aswell. I live for the weekend (and school holidays of course) and friends and family are very important to me. I enjoy new experiences, seeing new places and meeting new people.

A hygienic tongue cleaner includes a support member having an upper surface area arranged so as to fit snugly within the roof area of a mouth of an individual user. The lower surface of the support member includes a tongue cleaner element or elements against which one's tongue may be rubbed to obtain a cleansing action of the upper surface of the tongue while the support member is retained in position within the roof area of the mouth. The support member may include teeth engaging portions that secure the support member against motion during the tongue rubbing and cleansing procedure. The location and arrangement of the tongue cleaner avoids generation of a gagging reflex in a user.
1. A hygienic tongue cleaner comprising:
a support member having a lower surface and an upper surface convexly contoured to snugly fit within a mouth roof area; and
a tongue cleaner element secured to and extending from the lower surface.
2. A hygienic tongue cleaner according to claim 1, said support member including a tooth engaging portion for engaging at least one upper tooth and for fixing the support member in position at a mouth roof location.
3. A hygienic tongue cleaner according to claim 2, wherein said support member is a one-piece molded member and said tooth engaging uppers portion comprises a tooth receiving cavity in said molded member.
4. A hygienic tongue cleaner according to claim 3, said upper tooth receiving cavity being formed to receive multiple upper teeth of an individual user of the cleaner.
5. A hygienic tongue cleaner according to claim 2, said cleaner element being selected from the group consisting of a napped material, bristles, an abrasive element, and a blade element.
6. A hygienic tongue cleaner according to claim 1, including a cushion element underlying the tongue cleaner element.
7. A hygienic tongue cleaner according to claim 1, said support member comprising a single piece molded member including a tooth engaging portion, said tooth engaging portion comprising a molded cavity for receiving a plurality of upper teeth; said tongue cleaner element comprising a plurality of cleaning devices extending downwardly from the lower surface of the support member.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to hygienic tongue cleaning devices.
2. Related Art
It has been recognized in the field of oral hygiene that problems associated with odoriferous breath of individuals can be alleviated through diligent oral hygiene practices, including scraping the upper surface of one's tongue, particularly towards the rear of the tongue. Such scraping removes bacteria and other odor producing elements from the surface of the tongue without harmful effects to the tongue itself.
Numerous attempts have been made to provide tongue cleaning appliances for individual use, such cleaners, in their most elementary form, comprising a rigid, blade-like scraper element that can be grasped by an individual and pulled across the surface of one's tongue. Such scrapers include handles or manipulating portions that enable one to reach backwards towards the rear of the mouth to reach the rear upper surfaces of one's tongue.
In more advanced forms, tongue scrapers have been formed much like a toothbrush, that is, an end portion having bristles connected to a handle portion for manipulating the brush.
Still other forms of tongue scrapers include abrasive surfaces, rubber fingers, foam rubber elements and other similar cleaning devices having various shapes and forms intended to reach the upper rear surface portion of a tongue during a cleaning procedure.
In all instances, the use of such implements results in an involuntary gagging reaction in many users. The human oral cavity tends to instinctively react against foreign objects advancing towards the rear of the mouth toward the restricted throat area where the rear of the tongue normally rests. This involuntary gagging reflex prevents many people from using conventional tongue scrapers that must be inserted from the front of the mouth towards the rear while the implement is maneuvered to effect scraping of the upper surface of the tongue. Even extending the tongue to its maximum extent while using such implements does not eliminate the gagging reflex in many people, who cannot use such implements effectively due to this reaction.
The present invention eliminates problems associated with the prior art by locating a hygienic tongue cleaning implement including a scraper surface or surfaces in the roof portion of one's mouth where it is retained much like an upper plate of teeth momentarily while the tongue is run across the cleaning element or elements in a natural setting. Moving the tongue forwardly and rearwardly across the cleaning elements effectively cleans the upper surface of the tongue, including the rearward surface, without inducing a gagging reflex because the cleaning action is occurring in a natural position within the roof portion of one's mouth.
The cleaner may be formed inexpensively from a single molded element for disposable, one-time use or multiple time uses, or may be made for long-time repeated use. The cleaner preferably includes one or more teeth receiving cavities or areas for temporarily anchoring the cleaner against forward and rearward movement during the cleaning procedure.
The tongue cleaning elements may be bristle, blade, abrasive or porous structures or any other material or element that will effectively produce a cleaning action when the upper surface of the tongue is rubbed across the material or element.
The cleaner may be used with or without an additional cleaning substance designed to enhance the cleaning action and to produce a refreshing taste sensation in one's mouth.
The tongue cleaner in accordance with the invention enables cleaning of the upper surface, including the rearward portion, of one's tongue without inducing a gagging reflex due to the natural action of the tongue against the cleaner within the roof area of one's mouth.
The invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the appended drawings.
FIG. 1 is a bottom plan view of a hygienic tongue cleaner embodying the invention;
FIG. 2 is a side elevation view of the cleaner shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a section view taken along line 3--3 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a section view taken along line 4--4 of FIG. 1; and
FIGS. 5-9 show alternate embodiments of the invention.
With reference to the appended drawings, a hygienic tongue cleaner 10 includes a support member 12 that has an upper surface 14 and a lower surface 16. A support member 12 in accordance with this embodiment comprising a thin molded or formed sheet of plastic or the like configured to closely fit within the roof portion of a human mouth.
The support portion 12 includes one or more recesses or areas 18 for receiving upper teeth of one's mouth when the cleaner is placed within the upper roof area of a mouth. In accordance with the illustrated embodiment of the invention, the recesses 18 are configured to receive a full upper set of teeth, much like an upper plate supporting artificial teeth. The support 12 may be custom fitted to an individual much like an upper plate of teeth, if desired.
The lower surface 16 has affixed thereto a tongue cleaner element 20 that may be constituted of a bristled or napped surface, or any other configuration that would effect scraping or brushing of a tongue when the upper surface of the tongue is rubbed against the element.
In use, the support member is installed in the roof area of one's mouth with the upper surface thereof against a mouth roof and the recesses 18 engaging upper teeth of the user so that the support member is restrained against forward and rearward movement when the tongue is pressed upwardly against the scraper element 20 and moved forwardly and backwardly against the cleaner element.
Paste, fluid, powder or other cleaning material may be utilized with the cleaner element, for example a toothpaste-like substance or other material that would enhance the cleaning action of the cleaning element and would include a flavoring or fragrance that would produce a refreshing, clean sensation in the mouth of the user.
Since the support member is placed in a natural position within the roof of the mouth of the user, motion of the tongue across the cleaner element would not induce a gagging reflex since there is no movement of a foreign object toward the back area of the mouth or throat of the user. Forward and rearward motion of the tongue relative to the cleaner element enables one to clean the upper surface of the tongue, including the rearward area thereof, without inducing a gagging reflex.
The support member and cleaner element may be produced by simple forming or molding techniques using inexpensive sheet plastic material for the support member and a napped or bristled material for the cleaner element. The device may be configured for one-time or multi-time use, and it could be formed of more substantial materials for repeated use and cleaning between uses. The support and cleaner elements could be provided to dentists in kit form to enable custom fitting to individual patients, if desired.
The cleaner element 20 could be formed of synthetic plastic or natural materials, including fabrics, provided that the cleaner element includes a surface or element that will effectively cleanse the surface of a tongue. Bristles, foam, abrasive pads, scraper blades and the like, or equivalents thereof, all are envisioned as usable for the tongue cleaner element.
For example, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the cleaner element may include scraper blades 22 extending from the lower surface of the support member 12, such blades 22 being attached to or extending from lower surface 16 of the member 12.
In another alternate embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the cleaner element of the invention may be formed as integral blades or scrapers 24 integrally formed with the support member 12 and extending downwardly from the lower surface 16.
In still another example of the invention, as shown in FIG. 7, a nap or bristle scraper element 26 may be connected to the lower surface 16 of the member 12 by a foam or soft backing material 28 that provides a cushion effect between the scraper 26 and the support member 12. The cushion material 28 could be used, of course, with any of the embodiments described or contemplated herein.
While the invention has been illustrated using recesses 18 for receiving multiple upper teeth, it is to be understood that the support member 12 could be formed so as to receive one or more upper teeth or could be formed in another manner so as to simply engage upper teeth or even the gum area of an individual who may have lost or had removed all or most of the upper teeth.
Thus, while the invention has been described in connection with a support member 12 having teeth engaging recesses, it is to be understood that such teeth engaging recesses may extend to gum receiving recesses as well, and furthermore the teeth engaging recesses may be constituted of a single tooth engaging recess that will effectively prevent forward and rearward movement of the tongue cleaner while the tongue is rubbed against the scraper element 20.
It is also contemplated that the support member 12 may be attached to or attachable to a handle means 30 as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 to enable one to accurately locate the cleaner in one's mouth and to remove same after use.
It will be understood that the preferred embodiments of the invention described herein are exemplary only and that the invention may be constructed in various other forms that would be readily apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

When to plant pothos clippings
scootsybootsy(7)April 27, 2014
How do I know when they are "rooting" and ready to be moved to soil. Never done this before not really sure what to look for. I think these are roots I'm not sure. If they are do I plant them now?
Photo Synthesis
For my Pothos, I don't even really wait for them to start rooting. When/If I prune mine back, I just stick the cut off sections back into the soil. I use a screwdriver to sort of punch a hole into the soil first, then just carefully slide the clipping back in, and then press the soil in around it to cover it up pretty good. It works every time, and my Pothos has been getting both thicker and fuller

Freundliche Gastgeberin. Schöne und ruhige Gegend,trotzdem sehr zentral, nur etwa 20 Gehminuten zum Traumstrand Miami Beach. Unkomplizierter Checkin. Eigener Parkplatz. Absolut empfehlenswert!
Its a special experience when someone invites you into their home. In this case, a beautiful home situated in a quiet corner of Miami Beach that I never would have seen nor had occasion to see the other nearby neighborhoods which give a very different and pleasant view on a South Beach experience that may have otherwise been restricted to Ocean Drive and the immediate center around Collins.
Ronit is open and welcoming. She is a long time resident with a wealth of knowledge. I would happily return.
It is a 15/20 minute walk to the beach or Lincoln Ave. I had a bike and this was no problem and really a great trade off for access to Ronit's gorgeous and calm property.
I would say that Ronit's place is even better than advertised. Very nice surprise and addition to my trip. Memorable.
Wonderful! Awesome neighbourhood, attentive host, great conditions, good price ... Won-der-ful!
Wir hatten eine tolle zeit im cozy garden von ronit. Sie war während userem besuch nicht vor ort aber ihre freundin war für alle fragen und anliegen für uns da. Das appartment ist schön, für uns (familie mit einem baby) eher etwas zu klein, mit babybett im schlafzimmer hat es kein platz mehr für die koffer.. Das appartment ligt in einer ruhigen gegend und der beach ist super zu fuss zu erreichen.. Ist sehr zu empfehlen.. :)
We had a great time at Ronit's place - a really comfortable and clean apartment. The place is walking distance to shops (the Latin Cafe is really great) and about 15 mins to the beach. You can get many buses to South Beach, takes about half an hour and it is about an hour or so to walk. We had a car during our stay, and Ronit's parking spot worked well for us. Overall, we had a great time and it is exactly as advertised. K
The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
Ein schönes und idyllisches Gartenhaus in Norden von Miami Beach. Die Einrichtung ist gut, und die Umgebung des Hauses sehr ruhig. Die im Haupthaus wohnende Familie ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Wir hatten mit unserer Tochter einen schönen Aufenhalt.
Die Unterkunft ist vom Flughafen sehr gut mit dem 150ger Bus zu erreichen. Der Strand, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Restaurants auf der 41 Street sind vor Ort direkt zu Fuß zu erreichen.
Ein Auto ist allerdings sicher von Vorteil, da dann die Möglichkeit besteht auch zu günstigereren großen Supermärkten zu fahren, ein Stellplatz steht vor dem Haus zur Verfügung.
Ronit is lovely relaxed and made my first airbnb experience a great one. I'm now sold on it and likely to steer away from personalityless hotels.
She made us feel welcome, her house was exactly as described, and catered for both me and my collegue with seperate rooms, and towels. We arrived later than planned which wasn't an issue as we made sure to communcate. And whilst working downtown it was great to return to the lovely chilled out South Miami Beach - a great location for the beach, Lincoln Road etc.
We made ourselves hot drinks in the morning and a cold drink in the evening.
The house was in a great location, lovely, clean, and full of character.
We had a great time at Ronit's house. The house is exactly as the pictures.
Very well located: just few minutes walk to the beach and Lincoln Road. Very safe and quiet neighborhood.
Another good point about this place is the owner. Ronit is available, flexible and do everything she can to make us feel home (without being intrusive).
Great experience staying in Ronit's private room, she is a fairly hands-off host but is professional, no problems whatsoever with our stay there. The house is a little older and sometimes quirky (the shower pressure goes from 0 to 100% with a slight turn, for example) but it was perfect for our stay. Ronit was great at providing suggestions for the area as well.
Ronit was a great Guest! she was communicative and very nice, she had left the apartment very clean and neat and it was fun coming back home like that! :)
i would definitely be happy to host her again and recommend hosting her:)
Ronit was a great guest and her friends as well. Ronit was very open and kind. and personable. Wish they could stayed longer. We enjoyed Ronit. If you have the opportunity to host them I would not miss out
Tania, is a beautiful person ,full of fun , a great conversationalist and a real pleasure to host , her nephew has a keen interest in music which made our music session a pleasure thanks airbnb ,for another jem
Ronit and her friend were consummate guests. Quiet, considerate, tidy...and we enjoyed conversations and company, comparing notes as Air BnB hosts. Highly recommended!
Thank you! Sorry I missed the period to leave a review for you because of the retreat
We had a great stay, thanks for trying to accommodate everything we asked for! Hope to meet again..ronit
I would rather not have hosted Ronit. She was rude to the cleaning woman, lacked common sense, did not follow house rules and left all her trash in the apartment. I would NOT host her again.
In Hebrew I would say , gamoeda = sweet, nichmada = sympathatic and absolutely recommended as a guest. Thanks Ronit for your stay with us .
Shalom Chaya
Very nice and pleasent guests!
Ce n est pas Madame Ronit Richman qui j ai reçue c est sa copine Tatiana et ses enfants, une femme charmante, intéressante et ouverte, prend le temps de discuter. apparemment elle a un amour pour ce pays la France. elle sera toujours la bienvenue.
Heyyy.. Lovely family..
We were totaly injoy having them.. She is so friendly, trustworthy, and sweet person...
She will always be welcome again becouse she has a home in Kas.
With love for all of you.
ronith and family are best of best.they were really friend with us.nice smile and good manners they had.every day they asked from me what when they do something.her daughter and son also cousin son amit super friendly with us very funny members.good luck for all.
Such a great house to stay in for a perfect Miami Beach experience! A beautiful and peaceful cottage in the heart of sunny and colorful Miami Beach. The house is fully equipped, nicely decorated and feels very homey. Ronit is the best host! very helpful, kind and has the best recommendations! If you are lucky and your dates are available, book this place and you won't be sorry.

Used to love this app
This app was great for using in my classroom until it stopped working!! We are unable to download the books. The iPods keep saying we aren't connected to wi-fi but we are!! I don't know for sure if this a problem with the app or with our network. Please help!!!
Would have given 5 stars if still worked.
Books don't stay downloaded
Great app when connected to wi-fi. However books that I've downloaded don't stay downloaded. I downloaded several for my daughter so she could look at them offline and all but three now say they are not downloaded. Frustrating! Please fix!
Great until iOS6...
We have loved this app until we updated our phones. It starts to read two stories at once even when we aren't in any of the stories. Please fix? Thanks! P.S. Overall app is great. 4 stars.

Dr. Paukner has been my primary Dr. for over 10 years. He always takes plenty of time with each visit and geniunely seems to care. He even checked up on me after I was seen in emergency care yet didn't follow-up directly with him afterwards.
missed UTI and kidney reflux in a newborn after multiple visits. when asked about development concerns he said dont worry he'll catch up (my son has been diagnosed with mental retardation by current doctor) he didnt catch up!!! he also told me to stop breastfeeding because my son was thin, that is his genetic makeup come to find out. on formula, he lost more weight. he never did blood work even with me coming to his office multiple times in 2 weeks with a sick child.

Vegan-Friendly Fast Food
Vegetarian fast-food restaurants offer healthier alternatives to the super-sized status quo.
In our convenience-driven society, it seems that dollar-menu portions of everything except leafy greens continue to expand, while health and nutrition take a backseat to cheap, easily accessible McEats. While traditional fast-food joints continue to mar North America's nutritional landscape, smart-thinking entrepreneurs are redefining the quick-meal concept, giving conscious consumers a choice. Whether hankering for a top-notch tofu burger or craving some down-home comfort food, consult VN's guide to veg-friendly fast food.
Sandwich Shopping
More than 20 years ago the first all-vegan sandwich company in the US was born of humble beginnings in the American Northwest. Today, Hillside Quickie is the go-to sandwich joint for hungry vegans, with four locations in Seattle, Wash. Every menu item is unique and boasts mouthwatering ingredients, but "The Crazy Jamaican"—a jerk-tofu burger with ripe plantains and grilled sweet onions—is one of its most popular dishes. Ease on down the coast to Southern California to dine on delicious plant-based food at The Veggie Grill. Founded in 2006, The Veggie Grill now boasts four locations, opening the newest restaurant in West Hollywood in September. Branching out from just courting the dedicated meat-free crowd, The Veggie Grill's goal is to bring affordable, nutritious food to the world. Sweetheart Chili Fries made from sweet potatoes, Sante Fe Crispy Chickin' sandwich, or the Chop-Chop Chef Salad will keep visitors sated all day long.
Burger Joints
For those residing in Mountain Time make sure to trek on over to V.G. Burgers in Boulder, Colo. It's a classic fast-food experience without the super-sized fat and animal products. V.G. offers five different burger options, from nut to black bean and beyond. And, of course, get some fries with that—especially since they're baked. Top it all off with a milkshake blended with soy, rice, or hemp ice cream. To experience Midwestern veg diner food at its best look no further than Chicago's Veggie Bites. While Windy City eateries like The Chicago Diner and Pick Me Up Cafe offer a plethora of meat-free options, Veggie Bites 100-percent vegan menu gives conscious consumers the max in fatty fare, including its Buffalo sandwich on Rye, Chili Cheese Fries, and BBQ Nuggets.
Comfort Me
With five locations in the Golden State, Native Foods (pictured above) propels the image of the vegetarian lifestyle from '70s lentil loaf to a modern, delicious definition by combining California cuisine with ethnic dishes. Standouts from this varied, all-vegan menu include Save the Chicken Wings, the Howard Lyman-inspired Mad Cowboy Bowl—a baked potato topped with barbecue faux-chicken skewers and roasted veggies drenched in ranch dressing—and the Philly Peppersteak Sandwich. Voracious vegans living down south know: if everything is bigger in Texas, then herbivorous appetites are no exception. Head over to Mother's Café in Austin for its signature Spinach Tofu Lasagna or texmex it up with Spicy Tempeh Enchiladas. Up North residents of Beantown can indulge in hearty vegan pizza at Peace O'Pie, which opened in October. This vegan-owned and operated gourmet pizza bistro boasts a bevy of tasty eats, including cheesy Daiya breadsticks and on-the-go calzones. Mouthwatering pizza pies can be made with classic Vegan Gourmet cheese or stretchy, gooey, Daiya cheese on an organic, whole-wheat, or gluten-free crust.

Responses of Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Groups in Nafion Differentiated By Least Squares Modeling of Infrared Spectra Recorded During Thin Film Hydration
Volume 62, Number 6 (June 2008) Page 634-639
Korzeniewski, Carol; Adams, Evan; Liu, Di
Least squares modeling was applied to gain insights into changes that occur in the structure of Nafion polymer membrane during hydration. Transmission infrared spectra followed changes in the strong polymer bands in the range of 1400-950 cm−1 during water uptake by initially dry membrane upon exposure to 100% relative humidity atmosphere. Spectra recorded during hydration were fit to a rate equation that modeled the loss of a dry state accompanied by the development of a hydrated state. The evolution of the two states was described by an equation for diffusion in a cylindrical pore in the long time limit. Comparison of the experimental spectra in a data set to spectra calculated from the pure components derived by least squares modeling gave an excellent match for bands of the −CF2 and C-O-C group modes, but agreement was not as close for bands arising from modes of the hydrophilic −SO3− group and (modeled separately) water. The differences are discussed in terms of the likelihood that the −SO3− groups have stronger interactions with bulk-like water condensed in the membrane and therefore undergo more complex changes than do more hydrophobic polymer regions during hydration. A different model is necessary to describe the evolution of spectral features for water and −SO3− end groups during water uptake into Nafion thin films.
