The new Apple iPad supports fast cellular networks around the world - including 4G LTE networks in the U.S. and Canada. So you can download content, stream video, and browse the web at amazing speeds. And if you're in a location without a 4G LTE network, you'll still get access to fast 3G networks including HSPA, HSPA+, and DC-HSDPA. it the very smart mobile phone on top21deals.co.uk with free gifts and free connections.

The issue of the iPad name is a far cry from infringing on technology or intellectually property! Clearly Apple missed the boat somewhere in due-diligence on using/licensing the name issue. But to say that they infringed on any IP or technology is a stretch to say the list.
But don't forget that there is a huge opportunistic ploy going on here in China. Also don't forget that when you the "biggest" company in the world, everyone will take pot shots at you. Funny how Dell, Nintendo, et al who also have their products produced by Foxconn are rarely, if ever, mentioned.
Oh, Apple is address Foxconn issues. As fast as some would like? Probably not. Go online and what the report on this issue report on 20/20 last night. As much as they tried to create fire where there was smoke, it fall flat.
When USA copies, USA justifies; when others copy, USA vilifies.
Of course Apple is getting everything wrong now. Jobs is dead. The party's over. Deal with it.
Apple, please go away from China! We Chinese do not need you. For all the Americans who are blaiming Chinese government here, we blame our government too. In particular, we blame our government for lending so much money for someone who does not know how to appreciate.
Oh really. Based on the report on American TV News show 20/20, people are clamoring to work at Foxconn to build Apple products.
"A rose by any other name......"
If Apple looses then change the name. iPads will sell like hot cakes anyway.
As to the slave labor insults, Apple's Foxconn factories attract plenty new workers who love to escape destitution at home to get decent wages by Chinese standards.
China has a long way to go to get to EU standards of pay and social security. And let's not mention USA standards for the 99%.
Yes it is all about extortion when it comes to the Chinese being on the other side of a sue, and it is about patent infringement when the Chinese were being sued.
Here are a few facts:
1. The registered trademark in China was filed by Proview Shenzhen. So stop bringing up Hong Kong's case, Hong Kong has no jurisdiction over Shenzhen. Hong Kong's case affects Hong Kong iPad trademark only.
2. Apple purchased trademark from Proview Taiwan, sued Proview in Hong Kong, both does not have jurisdiction over each other OR Shenzhen, while the trademark holder is Proview Shenzhen.
3. If the above does not explain the situation enough, Apple purchased the trademark with ANOTHER name, its subsidiary (which name has almost never been mentioned) in disguise, IP Application Development. You don't need to be told why it is creating this subsidiary for.
Yes, sometimes greed does backfire. So being the good ole Apple, sue Proview Hong Kong, sue Proview China for defamation, all good, but yeah definitely, how DARE the Chinese sue Apple?!
You should take a look at the documents Apple filed regarding this case:
1) It seems that Apple bought the TM rights from Proview Taiwan because Proview China stated in their emails to Apple's lawyers that Proview Taiwan were the owner of the TMs.
2) As part of the purchase agreement, Proview Taiwan gave a warranty that they were the "unencumbered sole owner" of the TMs.
If, as you say, Proview China was actually the owner of the TMs, it would appear that Proview Taiwan have breached the agreement. If Proview Taiwan knew they didn't own the TMs but still gave the warranty some might think that was fraud.
Re: your point 3, I don't know why you think it makes any difference that Apple approached Proview through a subsidiary. This makes good business sense - the price that Proview would ask from a small UK company is likely to be about 100 times smaller than the "Apple" price. It's no more deceptive than buying a house through an agent, rather than in person.
First, I thank you for the useful information, I encourage everybody who just arguing for argue's shake to read the long doucments and come to their own conclusion.
Second, I am no lawyer but let me point out where the documents supplied shows what Apple did NOT do right:
1. The trademark transfer was done in Hong Kong, which does not have judiscial rights in China. That is why Apple sued in Hong Kong and won, but it has no business in China.
2. There is no evidence that the trademark was transfered to Apple or its sudsidiary, if I am wrong please provide proof. Therefore Apple does not actually own the trademark yet.
3. There is NOwhere in the agreement stating the trademark transfer INCLUDES China OR it involved Proview Shenzhen. The text was vague and I am really surprised Apple's IP trademark lawyer can be so stupid, in a word, Apple's legal team screwed up. Apple is assuming it has bought the rights in China based on the conversation with the Shenzhen office based on the email exchanges with the Proview Shenzhen personnel.
To win this case, Apple needs to presend the following:
1. Transfer of trademark in China has completed. Obviously it does not have this evidence, as your documents only showed that Proview registered the trademark in China, and there is transfer done in Hong Kong, transfering iPad rights to Apple. However, in strict legal terms, you can not simply do implications.
2. Here is the key, does the organization signed the agreement with Apple has the wholly rights to Shenzhen Proview? It is not difficult to prove, it is in the company registration. Why you don't have it? If it does not, then it does not have the rights to the trademark in the first place.
3. Here is another key, does the person in the Shenzhen office from the email exchanges represent Shenzhen Proview top executive? If he does not but is rather a expat from Taiwan Proview, then Apple does not have a case. This is not difficult to prove either.
And lastly, Taiwanese thugs are ruthless aren't they? :)
As for my point 3 that you pointed out, yes it makes business sense, it is also considered trying to steal a good mine with a penny disguising as a beggar. You are absolutely correct that it makes business sense, just that it shows Apple does not have high moral too, so end of the discussion among those talking about moral, OK? This is a legal case!
You are correct that Apple do not have the TM yet - that is the crux of the issue.
They signed an agreement with Proview Taiwan to transfer the TM, the agreement being governed by the laws of Hong Kong. As a practical matter, Proview Taiwan (rather than Apple) must carry out the assignment of the TM by writing to the Chinese Trademark Office. If they don't do this then they are in breach of the contract as the TM will not be assigned to Apple.
It appears that they failed to do this, probably because they realised that the buyer was, in fact, Apple and not some small UK company, and therefore thought they could hold out for more money by going back on the contract.
As a result, Apple sued Proview TW in Hong Kong (the governing jurisdiction for the contract) to force Proview TW to carry out the assignment. Even after losing this case it seems that Proview TW still refuse to assign the TM.
As you say, this may be because it is difficult to enforce the judgement of the HK court on the mainland. That being said, cases like this will make foreign companies very nervous about doing deals with Chinese companies, if the Chinese company can arbitrarily decide not to comply with a signed agreement and there is no way of enforcing that agreement in China. That would be a serious failing in the Chinese legal system.
You may be right that Apple's lawyers' due dilligence was not up to scratch on this one - they should have checked who was actually registered as the owner of the TM. However, as I said before, if Proview TW signed an agreement saying that they had the rights, when they knew they did not, that is probably not just morally wrong, but legally wrong.
Good, we don't have any differences now, and Apple will lose the trademark case in China, not because of political or injustice but its own mistake.
The main problem, as you noticed but did not specifically pointed out, is that Proview Taiwan does not own Proview Shenzhen, that is the key, if it does then Proview Shenzhen should also lose the case in China. Apple can rightfully sue Proview Taiwan for defamation, but it needs to compromise with Proview Shenzhen.
It is rather unfortunate that China actually has 3 systems, Apple attorneys probably assumed that they have all been united into one. :) But that is life.
Especially stupid is that the British company of Apple carried out most of the action until they screwed up. The British, should be the best person to know about the situation in Hong Kong, they fought for Hong Kong's judiscial independence from the mainland in negotiation for Hong Kong's return, because the mainland system just isn't good enough for Hong Kong's judiscial system, which I actually totally agree.
I'm a bit confused why you state with such certainty that Apple will lose the TM case: it seems that Apple has just succeeded in the case in Shanghai.
Even if Proview Shenzhen legally own the mark, there are still several avenues of defence that Apple could explore. For instance, a TM owner in China has to be able to show continued commercial use of the TM. Given that it appears that Proview no longer produce *anything* this factor at least could work in Apple's favour.
I'm also a little unclear on why you state with such certainty what Apple must show in order to be successful in the action (what you consider to be the "key" points) - the situation with regard to when a parent company is liable for the actions of its subsidiary is likely very complex in China and unless you are well versed in Chinese company law (you say you are not a lawyer) I don't see on what basis you are making these assertions. I'm therefore not really sure that we can properly discuss the issue of whether Proview Shenzhen is legally at fault given that neither of us has any real knowledge of this area of the law.
I'm not usually interested in 'business' issues, but I'm going to keep my eye on this one as best I can. I may not be the only American who doesn't want to see an American company cheated out of a billion dollars by the Chinese. I was planning on buying an iPad for my son's birthday. Now it seems I may be buying a MacPad. PS It's time for Apple to start bringing its manufacturing home.
Actually, it has nothing to do with the manufacturing back to States.
Actually, I don't care. I'm capable of two different thoughts in a comment. Notice the PS. I stand by both thoughts. I'm sick and tired of being scruwed by the Chinese; and I want American companies returning home, preferably on their own. If not, then by coercive taxation and/or consumer movements. As long as Americans are going to be suffering economically, I want it to be on our terms and under our control. We need to take our power back. This global-thingy hasn't worked for us. Unfortunately in our culture we have a tendency to believe that when something isn't working it means we haven't done enough of it. Well, enough. The Chinese emperor's naked.
then would you like to work 12 hours a day and only get money for basic living?
That's a conversation you need to have with some of the 6+ million American workers who have been unsuccessful at finding a job for more than the 99 weeks that unemployment insurance covers. I'd bet on their answers as being more complex, creative, and solution-oriented than your question implies.
Obama asked Steve Jobs the possibility of bringing Apple products home for manufacturing. Steve told Obama it was nearly impossible due to the comprehensive, effective and competitive supply Chain in China; USA just does not have the bases to support the production in such cut throat field, in addition to the USA labour cost disadvantage.
China is not any developing nation that can offer cheat labour only

The new name and a jungle to go with it. Just in case there's a chink in the law - it's my copyright.
Nic Mudie - the bard on the hill
I think the Beatles record label should reopen its lawsuit against Apple for copyright infringement. Then Apple would have to change its name to some different fruit like mandarin oranges!! They could rename the Ipad the Opad.
That would be brilliant marketing because the Opad is a subtle sexual innuendo. They could make commercials like "Baby, touch my Opad and you'll make me scream!". They could call the little button on the Opad and the Ophone the Gspot. "Just touch the Gspot to wake up your Opad from its sleeping state." They could make some really great commercials just by changing the name, and as every Madison Avenue ad man knows, sex sells.
You see their is more than one way to skin a cat and Sun Tzu would respect Apple if they did a little subtle maneuvering and simply abandoned the Ipad trade mark for the Opad and with its patented Gspot button.
What a marvellous idea! Saloot!
I thought up a new slogan for the Opad, "if you touch my gSpot you'll turn me on."
I'm telling you Apple or Mandarin Orange, if you will, would have a winner with the Opad.

Proview is a firm based in Shenzhen. The court that ruled against Apple is also based in Shenzhen. From my understanding of the way people in mainland China conduct business, I wouldn't just write these facts off as a coincidence.
You can continue running an illegal business in the mainland if you're well connected to local judges and government officials. There is no rule of law in China.
If foreigners are more worried about copyright infringement in China than anything else, they should move their manufacturing operations to a place where IP rights are protected (i.e. Where the relevant laws are actually enforced).
Not a smart move for the world's factory...
I hope Foxconn and other Chinese based Apple partners who have been blessed with heaps of Apple pie do their share to make sure a suitable outcome is realized.
Surely these companies have the connections in place to host a few banquets and gift a few choice bottles of Maotai to turn the decision in their favour.
Apple makes crap products using 1 million ANIMALS at Foxconn factories. I want to go Safari there. These people treat Chinese workers like animals;
HAHAHAHA - that has to be the best response. Brilliant!
Time to reflect upon moving manufacturing from China? Mexico is closer
and factories need not be near the border if what a corporation wants is cheap labor. China offers sweet deals but there is no way to know how long they will last. Or the US needs to learn how to prevent manufacturing elsewhere what is invented here.
If a Chinese law firm dreamed this up without an American patent lawyer, they have definitely closed one gap in intellectual achievement. Or is there an American lawyer involved? And are the legal fees hourly or contingent? And what are the judges' cuts?
The Chinese are doing there tricky Economic "Art of War" stuff. They intend to get even with the " ewil capitawist west dirty dogs".
There was an article in the Wall Street Journal on February 15, 2012, about how companies like GM, who make tons of money and have invested tons of money over in mainland China, can't repatriate their profits. The Chinese won't allow money to leave their country, they have all of these rules in order to prevent "capital flight".
It is absolutely ingenious economic maneuvering. Sun Tzu would be proud.
The solution is simple - move Apple production out of China.
Even though the solution is simple, it (unfortunately) isn't feasible. The costs of Apple products would increase tremendously if manufacturing is moved out of China, and so much fewer products would be bought. The ugly truth is that we consumers all love the idea of fair rights for workers and bringing manufacturing jobs outside of countries like China until we look at the price tags and gasp.
Unless Apple has an alternative to producing in China (e.g. major production move to Foxconn Brazil) then, the Chinese government will extort Apple for a piece of the action - just like any effective organised crime family. Sadly, none of this will benifit Foxconn Shenzhen line workers.
One billion is totally over the top. A few millions for the settlement sounds about right.
Otherwise it may be "Brasil - here we come" for the IPad manufacturing...
Brazil ?? no - one has to find another Communist regime that abuses their workers rights to make the products cheap and maximise profits. Maybe Viet Nam, hhhmmm maybe Myanmar.... Cuba is a no (Cuba has no technical ability).... how about North Korea???
The copy of the contract document between Apple's subsidiary and Proview is pretty clear (now online). The findings of a Hong-Kong court supports Apple. What needs attention is the question of whether any amount of due diligence can protect a trademark transfer agreement in this geographical area. Not surprisingly, this smells of state backed extortion and highlights the need to exercise extreme cautions when making deals there. Time to move operations to Brazil or Japan for Apple? What did G W Bush say? You fool me once...
You are right - this smells weird:
1. Why now and not a few years years ago when the first Ipad came out?
2. The speed with which the "Chinese authorities" confiscated Ipads.
3. The timing - just when the US is complaining about the mass copyright infringement perpetrated in China.
Maybe is time for Apple to move their manufacturing somewhere else...
This is not weird, and just absolute business !! Also not the timing of US complaining copyright. USA complain copyright all the time, not just now.
When Apple think everything is correct and ignore Proview for so long, then it's self to be blamed! Apple underestimate the case !!
What else, it is about money. When problem can be solved by money, then it is no problem.
And it is not about moving production to elsewhere, Apple cannot sell iPad in China too.

A Talk by Lucas L. Schulte
Dr. Lucas L. Schulte of the Claremont Graduate University School of Religion will give a talk entitled "Archaeology of the Lands of the Bible: Illuminating Nehemiah."
The lecture will discuss how archaeology and comparative textual studies can help illuminate a biblical figure like Nehemiah. The findings at Ramat Rahel indicate that it served as the palace of the Persial imperial governor or Judah-- perhaps even during Nehemiah's tenure as governor. Through focusing on the particular example of Nehemiah, the multimedia lecture demonstrates how archaeology can be used responsibly to illuminate the historical context of the Hebrew Bible.

CaroleTexasJust Perfect!I predicted that I would be back to give another review of the MAVALA Scientifique Nail Hardener and here I am! I am more than pleased with the result of using the product that I first reviewed April 18th 07. After having had poor nails for years that split and easily broke...I have extremely strong beautiful nails now. Incredible! I so wish other ladies that have been embaressed because of unattractive nails would just try the Scientifique Nail Hardener. It is a sure thing. Thank you for making it available!!posted Aug 16, 2007Link to this post
TdiDallas, TXGreat ProductIve been using this for a few weeks now and the results are wonderful. I have always had problems with my nails breaking and peeling and then I would bite them off. I havent had any problems with them since using this product and they are growing well and look wonderful. Now that my nails look good, I dont want to bite them anymore! I will continue to use this product and would definately recommend it!posted May 8, 2007Link to this post
DeeMadison AlFinally Help For My Nails!I bought this skeptical, but have been amazed. Now for the first time in 15 yrs I have beautiful nails again. After stress related issues,hormonal changes and damage from nail tips my nails have returned to hard, non brittle natural nails. I am soon buying the cuticle cream and the nail shield too. I no longer have to be embarrassed about my hands. This product is worth the money in payback with beautiful nails.posted May 2, 2007Link to this post
CaroleTexasOn The Mend!I was so excited to find the Mavala product after searching the internet for just such a nail treatment! I used something simular years ago and like others, I have been on a long search. I have only used the nail strengthen for a few weeks so I have a way to go before my nails are like I wish them to be. In this sort time a certainly see a difference in their strength and can see that growth is happening. I am grateful! In no time I am sure I will be able to give the product an "Excellent" rating.posted Apr 18, 2007Link to this post
Sara OsbornTroy, MiMakes Nails Harder But More BrittleI recently grew my nails out for the first time in 20 years. And I was so proud I wanted to keep them long and strong. But when applied my nails would rip off in horizontal pieces, when I was really active. I stopped using it because it seemed that my nails were better off being thin and flexible than thin and brittle. Perhaps if you have thicker nails this would work for you.posted Apr 4, 2007Link to this post
KathleenYaphank, NYTook A While To Work But It Was Worth The Wait...For years I wore fake nail tips which totally ruined my natural nails. When I decided I no longer wanted to wear the tips I removed them and my nails underneath were terrible, very weak and short and they wouldnt grow at all. At this point I purchased Mavala Nail Hardener. The product didnt work right away and I started to get discouraged, but I kept using it anyway and than after about 3 months I started seeing results, now my nails are stronger and healthier than theyve ever been. I highly recommend this product.posted Feb 5, 2007Link to this post
RuthBurbank, CA20+ Years Of UsingI have used this for over 20 years and LOVE it. My nails are natural and really take a beating. Since finding Mavala, I literally have to cllip them every 2-3 weeks. Afterwards, I use Scientifique Hardner on the tips to seal up any rough edges and go on for another 2-3 weeks. I do a lot of manual work with my hands, gardening, furniture stripping, painting along with normal hand dish washing and I havent had a split or cracked nail in many years.I first found it at high end dept stores and after they discontnued carrying, found at mid range dept stores and then it basically disappeared.

28.07.2013 /
KTM Factory rider Marc Coma finished a close second to rival Cyril Despres in Sunday's Stage Four of the Rally dos Sertõeson Sunday by just 1:40.6 minute but still retains overall lead by 2:38.14 minutes.
Marc Coma finished the 233 km timed special as part of the journey from Pirenopolis to Uruacu in 2:38:38 hours, just a fraction behind Despres who will now have to open the track in Monday's stage. He has now a total time of 7:39:51 hours in what is a long and arduous 10-stage event taking a large figure eight course through central Brazil.
KTM factory rider Ruben Faria was fourth in the stage and holds onto fourth overall while Jakub Przygonski finished the stage in seventh but also holds onto fifth place in the overall standings.
Coma said he was happy to have sacrificed a very small margin to Despres in the stage and also that he continues to hold the overall lead. "Today was a much faster stage than the previous days, but again it was very dusty, there was very little grip and very low visibility. We must be very focused at all times because on this kind of terrain you cannot make any mistakes. The ground is also very hard on tires and we all suffer a bit in the last kilometers. Tomorrow is the marathon stage and we have to take very good care of all the mechanical aspects."
On Monday riders tackle the first half of the marathon stage from Porangatu to Natividade with a total of 487 km and a 295 km timed special. Over these two stages riders may not have any outside mechanical assistance and if repairs are needed they must do them themselves. The total rally distance is over 4100 km taking in a massive loop and eight cities in the states of Goias and Tocantins.
Results Stage Four Rally dos Sertões 2013 (unofficial)
From Uruaçu to Porangatu total 289 km, timed special 233 km

The Washington Post – 2012-04-14
What are we, where did we come from, and where are we going?
For millennia, humans have been pondering these great questions and articulating responses in works of art, philosophical treatises and religious beliefs. We've fought wars over whose solution is most correct, persecuted promoters of heresy and celebrated sublime expressions of possible answers by painters, poets and preachers. No wonder; at stake is nothing less than the definition of the human condition.

The Story
Casual and stylish Alfresco fools the eye with the look of real wood and fools the elements with waterproof, and UV- and fade-resistant qualities. The result is an outdoor collection that will last season after season for years to come. Slats of innovative polystyrene faux wood are treated with UV and anti-oxidant protection and finished a warm grey. Sturdy but lightweight aluminum frames are powdercoated black. Multitasking side table converts from companion C-table to a lower-height side table, ottoman or to extra seating (see additional photos).

I am going to document the work I did to my Thor Design 637 class fast boat. Below is a few pictures of how I received the model when I bought it from a fellow Subron 4 member.
Many of you may be asking yourselves what is he talking about? The man is crazy, the model looks great as is! I built the oak stand that you see in the picture, and the boat was originally put together by Kevin Price (aka Nuke power, aka Rogue Sub). He did a great job of it, his work is top notch. Hey Kev, Pogy STILL runs great! Thanks for the oportunity again.
After running it for 6 or 8 months, I wanted more detail. Kevin had provided the original cast resin masts with the kit and I wanted to add at least some of them to the model. I also had aquired a Jeff Larue 1/96 US Nuke boat PE set, and I wanted to add those details also.

There is a corruption at the heart of American politics, caused by the dependence of Congressional candidates on funding from the tiniest percentage of citizens. That's the argument at the core of this blistering talk by legal scholar Lawrence Lessig. With rapid-fire visuals, he shows how the funding process weakens the Republic in the most fundamental way, and issues a rallying bipartisan cry that will resonate with many in the U.S. and beyond.

Melissa M.ScottsdaleHairLight BrownHorribleI had long healthy hair before I used this product. I purchased this thinking it would be a good treatment for my hair... wrong! There is a very strong chemical smell when using this product. How can something that smells so bad be safe for your hair?
When I first applied the treatment to my hair it did feel silky. I washed my hair two days later and OMG... DAMAGE CITY! My hair looks and feels thinner and it turned a weird color. My ends were damaged beyond repair. I had to get it cut to my shoulders (i'm still in tears). I called the company that makes this and they say their product cant cause damage. Really? Do not use this in your hair!posted Dec 26, 2010Link to this post -
April W.Orlando, FLHairBlondeCurly HairChemically Treated HairSuch A Waste!!!!This product was a waste of time and money. It smells like crap, and as soon as I washed my hair for the first time it was like I hadn't done anything.
I love the idea of an at-home treatment but this one failed on so many levels. I will stick to the salon until there is an at-home treatment that actually does something.
Does anyone have any recommendations???posted Dec 2, 2010Link to this post -
UniqueThis Is Not What Its Cracked Up To Be!I believe if you are mixed or of African decent it will not work as well. I feel like my hair as a coating on it all the time. It does not protect my hair from humidity, when it is hot and humid the ends of my hair get frizzy now. Yes, my hair does feel softer, but my hair wont hold curls for too long, it falls flat all the time, my heair feels heavy and has no bounce my only option is to leave it straight all the time. This product gets a C- from me. I followed the instructions to a T, and still I didd not recieve the results I thought it would. I just applied the product 3 weeks ago. Maybe I should have paid the $250 at the salon for the real thing. This is not what it is cracked up to be, seriously.posted May 27, 2010Link to this post
MichelleHairFine or Thin HairEwwww...smells Like Clothes That Were Forgotten About In The DryerThis product is horrid. My hair is fine and wavy/frizzy. I bought this product and used it and immediately had to wash my hair ....it looked like I just poured grease on my head! then the next day washed it again...it smells like clothes that have been forgotten about in the washer for a week! EWWWW...Its making me GAG!!!!Then ...the next day , I went to the gym and began to sweat....there was that awful smell again( I was praying that no one else could smell it!) got home from the gym and got a shower ...as soon as the water hit my head ...there was the smell again...guess what! the shampoo and the stench mixing together ...even worse!!!! I am so mad !!! Im gonna call the company! I hope this smell goes away SOON!!!!!!posted May 17, 2010Link to this post
TinaHairAfrican AmericanRelaxed HairIt WorksI purchased this product because I am transitioning from relaxed to natural hair. I was skeptical after reading the other reviews, but decided to take a chance. Heck, I spend that much on relaxers! I followed the directions except that I combed the product through my hair with each section that I saturated, and once my entire head was completed, I combed it through again. Instead of using a round or paddle brush, I used the comb attachment on my blow dryer. I have to say that I am impressed, and will continue to use the product as I make my transition.posted May 7, 2010Link to this post
VictoriaChicago, IL USAWaste Of MoneyThis stuff is a waste. It did nothing for my hair. Absolutely nothing. I followed the instructions to a "T" but it just doesn't do anything. I used this in hopes of being able to let my hair air dry every once and a while, but my hair dried just as poofy and curly as normal. I didn't experience any extra damage with this stuff, but have heard of people who's hair got fried. Others who's color was ruined (if you have highlights, watch out). I also don't like that they lie and call this stuff formeldyhyde and chemical free. Its not. It has a form of formeldihyde called Biformyl in it. I wrote the company on this and they just responded with vague, form letters. No specifics, no explanation. Not cool.posted Feb 20, 2010Link to this post
PiperLA, CAWaste Of Your Money And TimeI have curly hair - not the super tight corkscrew curls but loose, wavy curls that frizz if there's too much humidity in the air. After reading all these reviews, I figure I'd give Liquid Keratin a try. What a HUGE waste of my time and money. I followed the instructions to the T! Did everything it said to do, every single tedious, time consuming step and used every last drop of the solution. Even bought a special flat iron that goes up to 450 degrees and flat ironed my hair. The flat iron cost me a fortune. BUT, I wanted followed the instructions. It looked great the day I used it and flat ironed my hair. That is, it looked good until I washed my hair using the shampoo, conditioner and the leave-in conditioner that it comes with. FRIZZ CITY!!!! Not only was my hair AS CURLY as it was before, it's now a little crispy at the ends. Hmm... probably from using a flat iron set at 450 degrees. Did I tell you how long this process took? FOREVER! Sure, you leave the solution on your hair for 30 minutes but they don't tell you that it takes a VERY long time to dry your hair and then to flat iron it, tiny piece by tiny piece. I wish I hadn't wasted my time on this product. Because now I have to wait until it is washed out of my hair so I can go to the salon and pay to get the real Brazilian Straightening done. 4 to 6 weeks of miserable frizzy hair until I can get it straightened. Girls, if you do the math and spend this kind of money every 4 to 6 weeks to straighten your hair at home, you would have spent the $250 that it costs to have a professional do the straightening for you. Run, don't walk away from this product. Save your money! Save your time! Save your sanity!posted Feb 4, 2010Link to this post
DmEvanston, IL USAIt Works But...Okay, this does what it says it will do. All the fuzzy ends and fly aways are gone and I had awful hair, dry, frizzy, unmanageable in the humidity. So I give it an A+ for that! However, the shampoo, conditioner and leave in conditioner STINK! It's a horrible smell like dirty socks--yuck. I went elsewhere to look for a keratin treatment friendly shampoo and conditioner that have a better smell. I rated this good because I am happy with the look of my hair but the smell is too overwhelming to call it the best. I hope this company can impove the smell, anything would be better!!posted Feb 3, 2010Link to this post
UseFloridaNot Worth The MoneyI had high hopes for this product from the reviews. I understand that keratin in the salon is very pricey. But this product is definitely not worth the cost even though it is cheaper than salon keratin. First of all....It made my hair smell like burnt salted nuts. I know that sounds weird...but I asked my hubby, and he agreed. I have washed my hair 3 times since the treatment, and it still smells! It did straighten my hair, but it is dull looking. Who wants that? Also...my $100 highlights are now orangey. Soooo....obviously, I would not recommend this product.posted Dec 28, 2009Link to this post

- Description
The AVOX 803140-01-03 Pressur Vak II™ is designed to administer oxygen or gas mixtures to a diver or patient in a hyperbaric chamber environment. The demand regulator assembly provides breathing gas on demand (inhalation). The regulator is designed to operate with a constant inlet pressure of 65 to 125 psig over chamber pressure.
For chamber depths over 60 FSW, a secondary vacuum regulator must be installed. It is recommended to use a negative spring biased back pressure differential regulator, such as the Tescom Regulator 26-2912-282A. A hull-stop valve should be an integral part of the system as a safety device to shut down the vacuum should a pressure loss occur. The vacuum regulator allows the exhaled gases to be carried to the outside of the chamber thereby eliminating oxygen buildup or contamination of the chamber environment. The vacuum of the exhaled gas is a direct function of the differential pressure of the chamber and the ambient environment.
The AVOX 803140-01-03 Pressur Vak II™ comes complete with Medium Long Face Seal with Standard Strap Assembly, Microphone Assembly, Demand and Exhaust Dual Hose Assembly with Quick Disconnects, Demand Regulator Assembly and Exhaust Regulator Assembly.
Warning: The Pressur-Vak II is designed for surface decompression in a recompression chamber and is not intended for underwater use. It may also be used for other applications which require overboard discharge of exhaled gas.

Product FAQ's
Does the 803139-01-02 Pressur-Vak II BIBS Mask have any test certs confirming it is suitable for use in a saturation chamber rated to 300 MSWNo. The Avox Pressur-Vak II BIBS Mask is not intended for use in a saturation diving system. Amron's 350M and 450M BIBS Masks are designed for use inside a saturation diving system and have been tested to Norsok U-101 breathing standard and performance tested by Nui and validated by DNV.
Is the Pressur-Vak II BIBS mask DNV approved?
Can the AVOX Oxygen Mask hoses and diaphragms be cleaned using a sterilizing machine? The sterilizing machine operates at 212°F (100°C).
The AVOX Oxygen Mask was not designed to be cleaned by a sterilizing machine. We recommend using SaniZide-Plus to disinfect your AVOX Inhalator. You can also clean all metal and non-metal parts with nonionic detergent such as "Ivory Liquid" and warm water (110 °F maximum). Rinse with clear water and dry completely before storing or using.
The information provided should be used as a guideline only. Every company should have their own procedures in place for cleaning and/or disinfecting safety equipment used in oxygen and breathing environments.
Are the hose connections on the Amron BIBS mask the same as the Avox hose connections?
Yes, both the Amron and Avox BIBS Mask connect to same Hansen quick disconnects. Amron part number 59853-00 for the exhaust quick disconnect and 18969-00 for the oxygen inlet.

- Processes: what learners will be capable of doing
- Products: how learners demonstrate understanding
The revised standards also include:
- Enhancements in the descriptions of the ten themes and the associated learning expectations
- The addition of new descriptions of standards-based class practices to time-tested descriptions that were included in the original edition of the standards
- A stronger focus on student products and their assessment
- An updated list of essential social studies skills and strategies, including literacy strategies

Many people joined us last week to see Mrs. Day's cochlear implant surgery live-tweeted and Instagrammed. (You can click here to view a recap and see the pictures from Instagram.)
One of my favorite parts of the event was seeing the many thoughtful tweets & notes were sent in support of Mr. & Mrs. Day:
@swedish good luck, Mrs. Day! An ear surgery (patient) veteran in Virginia is cheering you on!
— Amanda Jenkins (@refinedladybug) October 2, 2012
@swedish I am so proud that you are doing this on SoMe. Thank your patient and the treating team for your willingness to involve the world.
— Pseudo ENT Surgeon (@otorhinolarydoc) October 2, 2012
@swedish Thanks to Mr & Mrs Day for participating & you for sharing - it's been an amazing priviledge to be part of it! #SwedishHear
— Vicki Kirwin (@KidsAudiologist) October 2, 2012
@swedish Good luck Mrs. Day on this new exciting journey in life!! Thanks for sharing!! #swedishhear
— Alaina Leighton (@AlainaLH) October 2, 2012
All the very best Mrs Day! May your surgery be more than a success and beyond! Thank you for sharing your journey! #Swedishhear @swedish
— Doose Ugo (@Deesse26) October 2, 2012
Some of the most frequently asked questions we received during the event were:
Why are you doing this? (Answer - read this blog post, and watch this video to learn more about the inspiration behind the #SwedishHear web series.)
- Are you livestreaming Mrs. Day's cochlear implant activation?
We weren't originally planning to livestream the activation like we've done livestreams before - instead, we planned to host two, text-based live chats so people could type and read questions and engage directly with Dr. Backous, Stacey Watson (Mrs. Day's audiologist), and Karen Utter (President, Hearing Loss Association of Washington State).
Now we're doing both!
If you tune in....
