According to the Q at Parkside blog, Community Board Nine will meet with developer Tom Anderson concerning the new development planned for 33 Lincoln Road near Flatbush Avenue in Prospect Lefferts Gardens. This is the former site of the controversial 20-story glass tower. The new proposal will be a 133-unit affordable rental building with twenty percent of the units affordable to low-income families and 80 percent affordable to middle-income families. According to the Q at Parkside, there is some local concern about the affordable housing aspect of the project. The CB9 meeting will be held Tuesday at 7 pm, at 400 Empire Boulevard.

Pierre Bellocq is coming to Harford County in fall 2015 for an exclusive exhibit of his work. He will be honored with the Robert and Anne Heighe Award for Excellence in Equestrian Journalism.
More details to follow.
The contemporary art exhibit explores the American Military B.R.A.T., an invisible subculture.
This exhibit tells the intriguing story of American racehorse Durbar II and his victory over the horse of King George V at the Epsom Derby in 1914—just at the outbreak of World War I. Owned by Herman B. Duryea, uncle of Robert Heighe, Durbar II lived at Prospect Hill Farm (now the Hays-Heighe House) and is interred on the property. The exhibit also relates information about the British Royal Family's passion for all equestrian sports, then and now, the use of horses in World War I, and the activity of British suffragettes at the start of the 20th century.
What does freedom mean to you? This exhibit brings to life the stories of documented individuals who sought or fought for freedom and whose lives engage and inspire. The Faces of Freedom initiative commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Maryland Constitution of 1864, which ended slavery in the state.
Faces of Freedom was made possible by a grant from the Maryland Humanities Council through support from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Any views, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed in the performance, lectures, films and discussions do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities or the Maryland Humanities Council.
This National Endowment for the Humanities traveling exhibition explores the concept of what makes a house a home. Complete with one hundred objects and interactive components.

Athletic nerd in heels" (yeah, I know it doesn't make sense but I swear it does when you meet me.)
And I thought the headline was hard to write! Okay, here goes - Let's see, I guess I'll start off by saying I'm a writer. (and, yes, I still find this hard to write) I am from Montreal. Go Habs! I LOVE nature and animals and I will follow a butterfly around for two hours just to get the perfect picture of it. I have my motorcycle license, I changed the brakes and carburetor on a scooter once (and it worked!) I like muscle cars. I box, I run marathons, I used to teach tennis, I played provincial soccer and softball. I have travelled quite a bit and I'm looking forward to travelling more. I eat healthy but I still enjoy good food and wine.. I don't mind playing in the dirt - actually I love it - but I also like to get dressed up and go out on the town. I love to write - it's what I do. I love to laugh. I really, really LOVE to laugh and I laugh a lot. So basically I am a nerd in heels who speaks french, was the "best man" at my best friends wedding, can bench press 105lbs, loves butterflies, writing, travelling, laughing, photography and trying new things. Two things that are a must for me - kindness and a sense of humor. Being athletic is a close third because I like to get out there and move.
Camping , Cooking , Dining out , Gardening/Landscaping , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Exploring new areas , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Baseball, Other types of exercise, Running, Soccer, Tennis / Racquet sports, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I have Dogs
I LOVE animals... and by animals I mean all animals; snakes, frogs, toads and lizards included.
Middle of the Road
Brazil, a quiet beach, my home, Montreal, South Africa... anywhere I have not been yet :)
Casablana, Love Actually and Dirty Dancing are 3 of my favorite movies... I think Dirty Dancing (aka Patrick Swayze) is on the list just because it got me through puberty.
Hiking, long drives, reading, writing, having a glass of wine with friends. Working out. Trying new things. Tavelling. ... geez, I like to do a lot of things for fun... oh and laughing, I like to laugh just for the fun of it.
Just finished reading Born to Run, very cool book. The Tao of Pooh is one that I always go back to .

Rated 3.4 out of 5 by 1296 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by DHaynes3 Wonderful My stay was wonderful the hotel and staff were great!!! April 29, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Stephen Needs updating; poor service. The room is tired and needs updating. AC grille warped and doesn't fit right. Windows old, corroded, and in serious need of a window washing. Made having the curtains open depressing. Worse was lack of housekeeping attention to details. Didn't replace sugar for coffee, drinking cups (at this price there really should be glasses in the room) etc. April 28, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by InvestigatorH Pleasant Stay Nice rooms, great service, quiet, and convenient downtown location, just across from train station. April 28, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by SteveR Service was unsatisfactory The Sheraton Dallas Hotel was beautiful and convenient to the events we attended during our stay, but our experience at this hotel in room 804 for three days quickly went down hill for the following reasons. The mirrored sliding glass doors were off the track when we arrived making it diffivult to reach our clothes or to have access to the safe. I could not get help from my room phone to repair the door because no one answered the phone so I had to go down to the concierge desk to report the problem. Still there was no reponse so the next day I went to the Starwood Desk who finally sent a maintenance man, but he admitted that he could not repair the closet door. Another maintenance man later came and removed both sliding doors, but never returned with them before we checked out. One day we were too tired to eat in the restaurant so we tried to call Room Service, but we could never get someone on the phone. This was a chronic problem that no one ever answered to phones to help. The toilet seat would not stay up when it was lifted to urinate, which is problematic for a male. The sink faucets handles were obviously incorrectly installed. The door stop on the floor in front of the closet was installed in a terrible location, which my spouse and I stumped our toes a number of times. Housekeeping was the worse that we have ever experienced because they left dirty dishes and glassware every time when we returned; they did not change out the melted ice in the bucket with a fresh plastic bag leaving old water in it; we did not receive fresh wash cloths even after they removed the soiled ones. I had take the dishes out to the table near the elevator and they remained there for two days. I even saw a housekeeper go past the dishes and left them. I will never stay at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel ever again. It was a very bad experience. April 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mike Excellent The staff in the lounge was great and very welcoming April 27, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Traveler2013 This hotel has awful service The service at this hotel was poor. I carried my own bags when I arrived. My luggage was carried on the bell mans back when I did finally receive help. I was not asked my room preference. The staff did not greet me. April 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jaja1789 Fair price and location, but... No bath floor cloth, and low quality towels. SUPER THIN WALLS...! I heard every conversation on every side of me - ALL NIGHT LONG. April 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by DallasFan Nice stay in Dallas Hotel amenities were very good. Great exersize room and pool. Room was comfortable and quiet. Can reach any part of the city easily, from museums, restaurants, attractions- even church on Sunday! Great views of the city from room, and conference rooms and convention spaces were great. Thanks for a nice stay! April 26, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by lprogers1963 Where did all the maid staff go????? My rooms was not touched by housekeeping the entire five days. By the time I left both trash cans were overflowing, bed was never made, tea and coffee were not refilled. Thank god there was an extra roll of toilet paper stashed in the closet. I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone stuck in the 1970's with all the outdated dark brown décor. Hotel has you captive for dinner and drinks since Dallas downtown offers nothing within reasonable distance. Gift shop really bends you over for a soft drink and crackers to the tune of $11. April 26, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Grace86 Don't stay here We stayed in the executive suite and hate to say I was very disappointed. First, my reservation specified there were four of us staying in the room and when we arrived there were only two towels so I immediately had to ask for more. Also, our toilet made the most terrible sound when being flushed but it became even worse when it just stopped flushing at all half way through the weekend. The shower itself was a disaster as well. As I mentioned there were four of us, all girls for a bachelorette party, and the shower did not train, AT ALL. I was lucky to have gone first but the other girls were standing in a bathtub full of water by the time we all showered. The bed was comfortable and that's the only thing positive I can say for this hotel. When I asked for a suite I thought I would be getting something completely different. In addition, since it was a bachelorette party, I had ordered cupcakes and confirmed with the concierge by phone the previous day we could put them in a fridge until we needed them Saturday as I had to pick them up Friday as soon as we arrived. When I asked as soon as came back with the cupcakes I was told I had to ask the restaurant to store them and when I asked the restaurant I was told to go back to the concierge. I would not recommend this hotel unless all you intend to do is go to the room sleep and leave immediately after and you don't need to shower or use the bathroom the entire time. Even after our toilet quit working and we called to have it fixed we were told it couldn't be done until morning which is when we were leaving (it was 9pm). We used the restroom in the lobby which smelled terribly of urine like it hasn't been cleaned in months. We tried the Kitchen Table restaurant for breakfast and it was equally as disappointing. We were seated after waiting in line (though there were plenty of tables available) and the people who were seated after us received service before we did and not just a few minutes but 25 as I watched the clock. We were seated for 30 minutes before getting water. Once we finally placed our orders we ordered the chicken and waffles which on the menu specified it had gravy which I had to request as it didn't come on our plates. Also you would think for how expensive the meal was they could have cracked some real eggs but no they use the same powder/liquid eggs as your local McDonald's. I had to refill our waters and coffee as the server was nonexistent and obviously hates her job based on the look of disdain on her face. As we were checking out, I was told when I called earlier to let them know about all the issues when checking out, she couldn't have cared less. She made it seem as if we were crazy to expect someone to fix our toilet and said she was not aware of the responsibilities of the concierge, etc. Everyone at this hotel is consistent about one thing, blaming someone else. The location is great so I hope they get it together. April 22, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by volleyL wifi didn't work in rooms first room the tv didn't work. then had to call IT as wifi didn't work in room. They never fixed it. Downtown Dallas was ghetto with no restaurants in safe walking distance. The staff were all wonderful and helpful but the unresolved issue and location was a complete downer. April 22, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by rajn 2-day Business Stay When I checked-in the room was rather cold - unusual cold Dallas in April late. Called the maintenance to see what's wrong with the heater. After 20 minutes, the heater was fixed (though a click-clack sound was coming from the vent thru the night). At 3 am woke-up feeling hot and realized that the heater is continuously running and would not shut down even though thermostate was set at 65F. Continued both days; ordered room services and notice that the plae left out was taken-out after a whole day sitting outside. directions to north tower central tower majestic conference rooms etc are confusing....several people kept asking where the rooms are and which elevators to take. otherwise, the hotel experience was fine. April 21, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Justin Would not recommend. We booked this hotel for a concert based on reviews. We were very happy with the staff but not at all with the room. The bed was so uncomfortable. My wife and I did not sleep at all. The sheets were almost like the just got back from dryclean/starch heaven. Literally the most uncomfortable hotel stay we have ever had. The AC unit was terrible also, it worked half the time, and we had to keep hetting up to check it. We expected more for the money we spent. April 21, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by LKG2013 Rooms need a little updating When I checked in and got to my room, it had not been cleaned so had to go back down to lobby and wait until they could get it cleaned. Was disappointed that there was not a mini fridge in the room. Other than that, the public areas of the hotel were great! April 20, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Cha13 Excellent Stay! Room was comfortable, clean and quiet. Very convenient to medical facility! April 18, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by CVP32 Poorly kept On arrival, the hotel was uncomfortably warm. No recognition for Gold SPG verbally or other. On arrival to 24th floor, greeted by a large pile of dirty sheets and garbage bags by elevator (4pm)...another pile of dirty sheets by my room 2404. All that remained thru checkout next morning. In room, a long hair on the mirror and other moderately offensive housekeeping no - no's. As an owner, I am not happy with the way this property is kept or shows. I will never stay here again or allow our company (PWC) to book anyone to same. April 17, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by WR5280 Great location but a little rundown The location was great and very convenient, but the rooms were a bit older and not as clean as other SPG hotels. The staff was friendly, but I'll probably opt for the W next time I'm in town, April 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nelly65 Home Away From Home The Downtown Dallas Sheraton is truly my home away from home. For about the last 8 years, I have stayed at 400 N Olive and feel at home when I return. The staff is wonderful, the food is great, the rooms are clean and the beds are very comfortable! They have the BEST Fitness Center I always look forward to when I can return home at the Sheraton. April 14, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Gigi38 always a pleasure This was my 4th trip to the Sheraton Dallas and the service and rooms are always terrific. We had to wait about 3 hours past check-in to get into a couple of our rooms, but considering it was the weekend of the state FCCLA conference it was a little understandable. Definitely will be returning. April 14, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by sara62 A little more improvement needed waited over 30 minutes in line checking out to try and fix my bill, and it is still not correct. the lobby was overcrowed with high school kids trying to get their rooms (with all their luggage and items). the adults they were with were frustrated with the service. i was not happy having to pay for internet service. my room had some minor flaws, but was overall very comfortable. the parking structure needed to be cleaned. April 12, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by rtlover Disappointed!! I was extremely disappointed with this hotel. I heard really good reviews about this hotel from coworkers that had previously stayed…maybe change in management? The beds are very hard, and the toilets throughout the hotel kept me up- literally you could hear the toilets flushing on different floors. I stayed on the 8th floor and it had a strange odor (a coworker stayed on the 9th floor and it didn't smell). The staff aren't very friendly (a few were friendly). The waitress in the sports bar even told me three different time I didn't know what I was ordering, and that I was wrong. When I got home I checked my credit card and saw I had a charge- I called the hotel and the staff was extremely rude when I asked about their holding policy (she literally told me that the front desk didn't know the holding policy and I HAD to call back and talk to Accounting). Bottom line- I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. April 12, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by strawberry69 My Experience I was attending an event held at this hotel. I stayed in the South Tower and it was awful. The bathroom in my room was dirty when I arrived. The elevators in the South Tower three out of the four were not working and it took at least 30 to 40 minutes to go up to my room and back down again the same amount of time. The door to my room was not working properly and I complained to the desk staff more than three times and just got hateful rude service and the problem was never fixed or adressed. I was not informed that parking was an extra fee and the quote from my online reservation was wrong and had to pay even more extra the just the parking. If there is actually free Wifi I still have yet to find it. Will never stay at this hotel again. Rude unfriendly desk clerks and employees as a whole. April 12, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Lea2013 VERY Unhappy customer There was a huge mix up with payment on my room. I was there for business and the room was prepaid by my company, but registration did not have the information entered in their system, which caused a HUGE mix up. They required me to use my debit card, until things were straightened up with my company, which my company cleared up (again) the next day. Well, two days later the mix up was still not fixed on the hotels end and my bank charged me $210.00 in overdraft fees after the hotel charged me the full bill and my personal bills went through. When I spoke with front desk people (three different times)they were rude to me (all but a young lady named Stephanie, who compt me a food tab). This was a very stressfull situation, caused by the hotels error and little was done to fix it. Then, I found two huge roaches in the fitness center. That is disgusting to say the least. April 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lynn47 Wonderful Hotel This is a great place to stay. I always stay here when I come to Dallas. The staff always goes out of there way to accomodate my needs. Very clean, comfortable, and affordable. April 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by TJH2201 Great conference facility. Hotel location was great. Rooms were very clean. Great conference facility. April 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mike Great Experiece Registration staff was so helpful in fixing my company reservation, finding my SPG number and getting me oriented to the facility. Room was very modern, equipped and clean. On site sports bar restaurant was inexpensive which is rare for a Hotel. All staff contacted even in passing was extremely friendly and made me feel welcome. PS. Largest Hotel Gym I have seen and used. Great Experience April 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by KL28 Exactly what I Needed Hotel staff was nice, loved the valet team. Bed was comfy and floor was quiet which was exactly what I needed after all day workshops. Close to many great sites. Forgot a few toiletries but housekeeping quickly brought it up for me. Very pleased overall. April 9, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by jps1722 This hotel is nice but a little pricey This hotel was very nice, although you had to pay for extras provided at other hotels, i.e. parking and internet service. Also, there was no in-room refrigerator. April 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Matt Absolutely Wonderful I had the most amazing time. My stay was very comfortable. The staff were excellent. They were all very nice and went out of their way to make me feel welcome, comfortable, and most of all...completely happy with my experience there. The only thing I can complain about is that there was no spa as advertised on the interactive "you are here" menu in the hallways. April 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JulesfromHouston Great as always! My children and I love staying here.It's comfortable, convenient to downtown, the new Perot Museum, SMU and Highland Park. We really stay here because of the staff at the Club Level hospitality room. Mr. R, the older African American man, who works on Friday nights and Saturday mornings, is the best -- we love that he remembers us and helps my young boys put on cartoons while they're having a snack or breakfast. We travel a lot and we just don't get that same welcome elsewhere. Keep it up! April 7, 2013

Though the New York Islanders have ensured the end of their playoff drought, they don't exactly appear to be heading into the postseason on a roll. They'll get once more chance to pick up some momentum Friday night as they finish a five-game road trip against the Buffalo Sabres in both teams' regular-season finale. New York has fared well recently in Buffalo, winning four of the last five meetings there, including a 4-0 victory Feb. 23. The Islanders (24-17-6) played excellent hockey for most of the last month, going 11-1-2 from March 24-April 20 to punch their ticket to the playoffs for the first time since 2007. But some may wonder if they're getting complacent with the last two games ending in defeats against non-playoff teams. New York followed a shootout loss at Carolina on Tuesday with a 2-1 defeat at Philadelphia on Thursday. John Tavares was perhaps the lone positive for the Islanders, scoring his fourth goal in four games and 28th of the season. Thursday was the first ...

This application is a continuation of my prior application Ser. No. 07/192,149, filed on May 10, 1988, entitled: DISPENSER FOR HAIR TREATMENT SOLUTIONS, now abandoned.
The present invention pertains to a dispenser for applying a treatment solution to the hair and, more particularly, to such a device for applying treatment solution to selected portions of the hair.
A technique frequently employed in hair styling is that of highlighting, the application of a treatment solution such as a dye or a bleach to selected strands of the hair to give these strands an appearance differing from that of the remaining hair. A common procedure for accomplishing this technique involves the use of a rubber cap with holes, the cap being placed over the hair and strands of hair being drawn through the holes and coated with the treatment solution. This procedure, while effective, is both time-consuming and uncomfortable.
Dispensers for applying highlighting and similar treatment solutions to selected portions of the hair without the use of a rubber cap have been proposed. Examples of such dispensers are found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,516,591, Hierholzer, and 4,605,026, Nolin. Each of these devices includes a comb-like head and a base which attachs to a container such as a squeezable bottle or tube containing the treatment solution and has conduits extending through the base and head for dispensing the treatment solution in the vicinity of certain of the comb teeth. These devices are intended to apply the treatment solution simultaneously to multiple groups of hair strands at uniformly spaced intervals which limits the effects which may be achieved with their use. The length and number of conduits within these devices can render cleaning of the devices difficult with the result that some of the dispensing conduits become clogged, reducing the effectiveness of the tool.
It is a principal object of the present invention to provide a dispenser for applying hair treatment solutions to selected strands of the hair.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide such a dispenser the dispensing head of which is configured to facilitate separation of the hair strands to be treated from the remaining hair.
Another object of the present invention is the provision of such a dispenser which effects a thorough coating of the hair within the selected strands.
A further object of the present invention is the provision of such a dispenser which may be easily and thoroughly cleaned.
The above and other objects of the present invention which will become apparent hereinafter are achieved by the provision of a hair treatment solution dispenser having a reservoir for the solution and a dispensing nozzle removably connected to the reservoir. The dispensing nozzle is an elongate, generally conical member having a base configured for attachment to the reservoir; a through passage extending axially from the base, and a tip portion which, in a first embodiment, has two tines separated by a diametric slot extending from the end thereof to intersect the through passage, the slot being of greater width on one side of the tip than the other and one of the tines being shorter than the other with the end thereof sloping toward the slot. An alternate embodiment of the nozzle has two parallel slots forming three tines, the slots again narrowing from one side to the other, the center tine being of lesser length than the outer two, the ends of the tines sloping toward the adjacent slots. The reservoir may be a squeezable container or, in the preferred embodiment of the invention, consists of an open top, parallel sided container having an opening in the bottom wall at which the nozzle is attached; a handle extending laterally from one side of the container; a lever pivotally connected at one of its ends to the end of the handle, the lever arm extending in overlying relation to the handle; and a plate-like piston pivotally attached to the free end of the lever arm and slidably received within the container.
For a more complete understanding of the invention and the objects and advantages thereof, reference should be had to the accompanying drawings and the following detailed description wherein preferred embodiments of the invention are illustrated and described.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of a first embodiment of the dispenser of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a top plan view thereof;
FIGS. 3, 4, 5 and 6 are cross sectional views taken on the lines 3--3, 4--4, 5--5 and 6--6, respectively, of FIG. 1;
FIG. 7 is a side elevational view of the dispensing nozzle detached from the dispenser of FIG. 1;
FIG. 8 is a transverse cross sectional view taken on the line 8--8 of FIG. 7;
FIG. 9 is a top plan view of the nozzle of FIG. 7;
FIG. 10 is a side elevational view of a first modification of the dispensing nozzle;
FIG. 11 is a front elevational view of a second modification of the dispensing nozzle;
FIG. 12 is a transverse cross sectional view taken on the line 12--12 of FIG. 11; and
FIG. 13 is a transverse cross sectional view of a second embodiment of the dispenser of the present invention.
The embodiment of the invention shown in FIGS. 1-6 includes a reservoir and dispensing mechanism, designated generally by the reference numeral 10, and a dispensing nozzle, designated generally by the reference numeral 12, each of which, preferrably, is formed of injection molded plastic material. The mechanism 10 has an open-top reservoir 14 with straight, parallel side walls 16 and end walls 18 and a bottom wall 20. A central opening 22 is provided in the bottom wall to receive the nozzle 12. Projecting laterally and upwardly at a slight angle from one of the end walls 18 on the longitudinal centerline of the reservoir is an elongated handle 24 having, on the lower surface thereof, a series of concave finger rests 26. A lever arm 28 overlies the handle and is pivottally connected thereto by a pin 30 located adjacent the extremity of the handle. As is shown in FIG. 6, the upper face of handle 24 is provided, forwardly of the pivotal connection 30, with a centrally located, upwardly projecting ridge 32 and the lower face of the arm 28 with a complementary recess 34, the arrangement serving to maintain alignment of the arm with the handle. Lever arm 28 projects forwardly over the reservoir 14, terminating with a pair of downwardly projecting lugs 36, the upper surface of the arm adjacent this end being provided with a thumb rest 38, preferrably in the form of a shallow, concave serrated surface. A flat plate piston 40 has an upwardly projecting trunnion 42 terminating in a lug 44 which is received between the lugs 36 of the lever arm and pivotally connected thereto by a pin 46. The piston 40 is sized so as to have a close sliding fit within the side and end walls 16, 18 of the reservoir 14. As mentioned above, the handle 24 is angled upwardly. The upward inclination of the handle is such that the axis of the pivotal connection 30 is spaced above the plane of the top surface of the reservoir 14 by a distance which is equal to one half the distance between the axis of the pin 46 and the lower face of the piston 40, the arrangement permitting the piston 40 to be oriented parallel to the top of the reservoir upon entry therein, as is shown in phantom outline in FIG. 1.
Preferrably, the pin 30 forming the pivotal connection of the handle 24 and lever arm 28 is hollow for reception of the ends of a metal ring or loop 48. The ring provides a means for hanging the dispenser when not is use.
The central opening 22 of the reservoir bottom wall 20 includes a circular center section 50 having diametrically located arcuate extensions 52 separated by arcuate flanges 54 which are of reduced thickness relative to the wall 20 and which are provided at one end thereof with lugs 56 of the same thickness as the wall 20. As will be discussed below, the arrangement provides a bayonet type connection for the nozzle 12.
Dispensing head or nozzle 12 includes a tapered, preferrably conical, body portion 60 having a cylindrical hub 62 projecting from the base thereof, the hub having a pair of diametrically opposed arcuate flanges 64 for engagement in the bayonet socket in the reservoir bottom wall. A diametric slot 66 extends approximately one half the length of the body portion 60 from the tip thereof, forming a pair of tines 68, 70. A through bore 72 extends axially from the base of slot 66 through hub 62 to provide fluid communication with the reservoir 14. As can be seen from FIG. 8, the side walls 74, 76 of the slot converge inwardly from one side of the nozzle, referred to hereinafter as the front side. The portion of the base or root of the slot to the front side of the bore is angled, as shown in FIG. 7, the edges thereof being rounded to provide a smooth transition to the side walls. The first tine 68 terminates in a smoothly rounded tip 78. The second tine 70 is shorter than the first and terminates in a rounded tip 80 the inner face 82 of which beveled toward the slot wall 76 and front side of the nozzle.
A modified form of the dispensing head or nozzle is shown in FIG. 10. This embodiment includes a body portion 84 having a diametric slot 86 and through bore 88 of substantially the same configuration as the nozzle described above. The base and hub 90 of the modified nozzle, however, are angled relative to the axis of the body portion.
FIGS. 11 and 12 illustrate a further modification of the nozzle. The body portion 92 of this embodiment is provided with a boss 94 for connection to the reservoir with two parallel slots 96 and 98 dividing the outer end of the body portion into three tines, the outer two 100 and 102 of which are of greater length than the central tine 104. As with the first described embodiment of the nozzle, the side walls of the slots converge inwardly from the front side of the nozzle and the ends of the tines are beveled. A bore 106 entends through the body portion to intersect the bases of the two slots.
In use of the treatment solution dispenser of the present invention, one of the dispensing heads or nozzles is selected and attached to the reservoir. As discussed above, the nozzles have front and back sides, the bayonet type connection permitting the nozzle to be installed for either left or right hand use, as desired, and assuring proper orientation of the nozzle. With the piston 40 withdrawn from the reservoir 14 by upward movement of the lever arm 28, the reservoir is filled with the treatment solution after which the piston is moved downwardly sufficiently to close the top of the reservoir. Holding the dispenser in the hand with the thumb on the rest 38, the device is moved along the head with the nozzle combing a group or groups of hair strands, the longer of the tines serving to initially separate the selected strands from the remaining hair, the beveled ends of the tips further aiding in this separation. With the application of thumb pressure, treatment solution is forced into the base of the nozzle slot and into contact with the selected strands. The converging walls of the slot serve to compress the coated group of hair strands thus forcing the treatment solution into intimate contact with all the hair strands. As there are no lengthy or closed end passageways, the dispenser is easily and thoroughly cleaned after use.
It will be apparent that the dispensing head or nozzle configurations of the present invention may also be used with dispensing devices other than that described above. One such alternate dispenser arrangement is shown in FIG. 13. The nozzle 110, as with the previously described embodiments, has one or more slots 112 extending from the tip thereof and a through bore 114. At the base of the nozzle there is provided a threaded cap 116 for connection to the mouth of a squeezable bottle 118.
While preferred embodiments of the invention have been described and illustrated in detail herein, it will be understood that changes and additions may be had therein and thereto without departing from the spirit of the invention. Reference should, accordingly, be made to the appended claims in determining the true scope of the invention.

Herbs to Treat Kidney Disease
2013-10-31 17:30
What herbs can be used to treat kidney disease? In most of the cases, kidney disease patients are prescribed with medications like antihypertensive, immunosuppressive agents to control their illness. These medications show quick effects, but unfortunately, they can not stop kidney problem from developing. What is worse, long-term taking of these drugs will cause a series of side effects. Therefore, many kidney disease patients turn their hope on Chinese herbs and hope to find an effective solution from Chinese medicine. Well then, what are the herbs that can be used to treat kidney disease?
In medicine, there are many Chinese herbs that can be used to treat kidney disease. They work differently, so they are usually applied to play different role in the whole treatment effects. Here, we will introduce several herbs that are helpful for kidney disease patients.
1. Ginseng
Ginseng is one of the herbs that are helpful in treating kidney disease and improving kidney function and kidney health. For ginseng, aside from improving kidney function, it can also be used to treat kidney infection which may cause quick deterioration of illness condition.
2. Corn silk
Corn silk is another popular herb used in treating kidney disease. According to clinical experiments, corn silk has antimicrobial, diuretic, demulcent and vulnerary actions, which are also helpful for treat kidney disease. Besides, due to impaired kidney function, kidney disease patients run a higher risk for urinary tract infection and bladder infection. Corn silk is said to be able to solve these problems.
3. Lei Gong Teng
Lei Gong Teng also can be used to treat kidney disease owing to its function of anti-inflammation, improving blood circulation. In addition, studies in Yale University show that it shows effects in destroying cysts in Polycystic Kidney Disease which is a genetic kidney problem. By destroying kidney cyst, further kidney damages can be avoided and residual kidney function can be protected effectively.
In medicine, aside from these herbs, there are some other herbs that also can be used to treat kidney disease such as dandelion, goldenrod, hydrangea and gravel root. These herbs are helpful, but if not used properly, they will cause a series side effects. Therefore, talking with doctors about the proper dosage, usage and the possible effects before using them is very important.

Counselor, LMHC
"2,500 years ago Socrates said, "The unexamined life is not worth living."He believed that a good life requires an understanding of why we think, act, and feel as we do. Since relationship is part of psychotherapy, the personalities and philosophies of life of the client and therapist must be compatible. I am well-suited for clients who are curious about human behavior - their own as well as that of others. Before there were psychologists, the issues of life were addressed by philosophers. Thoroughly examining our lives includes considering ancient wisdom and spiritual reality.

I'm not sure whether this was meant as a toy or as a model, but it is a perfectly made wood hay wagon, 11" long, 4" high and about 4" across. It is made of lightweight wood. The wheels turn, although the axle does not.
Condition is very good to excellent. There is a little rust and discoloration around the nail heads, but no splitting or breaking of the wood.
This wagon comes from Pennsylvania farm country, and is similar to some of the Amish wagons you still see in use. I wish had more information about the age or origin, but this is all I know.
It came to me very dirty and covered with spider webs and a few old bird droppings. I've given it a quick wipe and am amazed to find it in such wonderful condition.
This would be very nice with a doll or miniature farm display.

Patrick - April 06, 2013 (Sparks, NV) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit AFX FX-100 Skull Helmet This is great helmet I would recommend it to anyone. Dennis G. - October 29, 2012 (des moines, WA) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit FX-100 Skull Helmet Fits very snug and well. Very stylish from the inside out. I like the push button airflow vents. Has a cheap feel to it but it does the job and feels cool pushing buttons on your helmet. And I love the tinted eye protection that slides down. Very well needed feature. Very good helmet for a very nice price. Chris - November 21, 2011 (Phila, PA) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit Great buy This was a great helmet for the price. It fits great, has an excellent field of view while tucked down on my Gixxer 1100, the built-in sunvisor actually retracts fully into the helmet (some helmets don't) and the graphics get constant compliments. My only "complaint" would be that it whistles at low speeds and is a tad loud at high speeds...not that any of my other helmets are much quieter at high speed. Overall, I'd recommend this helmet to anyone who asks. Ben - September 30, 2011 (Fredericton, NB) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit awesome Sits a little high on my head might just be the shape of my head though. Quick release chin strap is awesome especially with bulky gloves on. Awesome helmet though all around. It's a must buy. Brandon - September 08, 2011 (Livingston Manor, NY) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit AFX FX-100 Skull Helmet Great helmet for the price! The interior visor eliminates the need to use sunglasses and I got many compliments on the graphics. I have some issues locking my helmet to my bike because it doesn't use the old D-rings, but this is a minor problem. T P - June 07, 2011 (Mountain View, CA) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit Awesome I had a HJC CS-R1 helmet prior to this one that I bought for $80. Found this site, great prices, great customer service, and found this AFX for $80. So I will compare them against each other. AFX fits better, I bought both in large. The AFX looks cooler. AFX has an inner visor, HJC did not. AFX has 4 vents that can be opened or closed, HJC has 2. AFX is normally $120 and again I got it for $80 which is the price of the HJC. The AFX does have a smaller opening than the HJC so your peripheral vision is reduced slightly. AFX has a chin wind breaker, and a better chin strap mechanism. I recommend this helmet and this site to everyone. Nick - April 22, 2010 (San Tan Valley, AZ) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit AFX FX-100 helmet Overall a good value for the clearance price. The helmet looks great and has good features. I do not like the chin strap so much because it is a little uncomfortable- it is not the typical D rings type but a plastic quick release strap that rubs my neck sometimes. I have two helmets that are both X-large and this one is snug to the point that it is uncomfortable on longer trips, I would order one size larger than usual........... C - April 19, 2010 (Miami, FL) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit AFX - FX-100 Skull Helmet Very well built helmet for $70, It has 4 push buttons for air flow (top, bottom, left and right. The graphics are great (I love the skull look) and the fit is perfect. The best feature is the dark smoke flip down visor that is inside the helmet. It is easy to open and close while riding. Overall I am very pleased with the AFX helmet and the fast shipping from Motorcycle superstore. kenneth - April 19, 2010 (ft. myers, FL) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit drop down tint shield nice not fooling with shades Patrick - April 15, 2010 (Reno, NV) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit good I like this helmet. For the cost it is a great buy. I thought the visor would fog up but it don't only when you stop but you can lift the visor and its all good. The fit is ok. I like the glossy look. I also bought the mirror tint visor which made it look real good. And the shipping was faster than I expected. rick - April 12, 2010 (Calumet City, IL) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit Great all around Helmet For the price, this AFX FX-100 is an amazing helmet. Its style and features give it the benefit of being a cost friendly helmet while protecting your head without losing its key features. The paint on this peace is better in person than in the pictures! When receiving the helmet I felt like I paid over $200 for the thing. The built in sun visor is a cool plus to the cost and benefit ratio. However the wind flow is not the best and the helmet gets some high whistles with the vents open past 70, and if the wind is against you its at 50. But then again what you pay is what you get...and you get a well-rounded helmet at a great price when you purchase this item. Manuel - April 08, 2010 (Mission, TX) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit Helmet Best deal I could find with sunshade inside, vents stick sometimes, but for the price, I can live with that. Kevin - April 05, 2010 (Portland, OR) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit great Great helmet, very little wind noise for the most part. Air vents work well, I normally wear a large and the large size fits me like a glove. The inner flip down visor is great, no more wearing sunglasses under my helmet or having to ride with my tented lens up at night. Got it when it was on close out for $69, but I would buy this helmet again even at full price. jon - April 05, 2010 (sterling heights, MI) Fit Features Air flow Appearance Cost Benefit WOW Got this helmet when it was 69 usd, and boy was I blown away. The features are incredible, and the fit is close to that of my arai. and that's saying alot. a little windnoise but not enough to make you hate the helmet. Even for 129 it's a good buy.
