Welcome to Acoustic Corner
Located in the mountains of Western North Carolina, just a few miles from Asheville in historic Black Mountain, Acoustic Corner is a different kind of musical instrument shop. In these days of large corporate chain-stores and impersonal internet sales, Acoustic Corner offers an array of unique acoustic instruments in a hands-on, relaxed, helpful atmosphere. We are proud to be your only dedicated string shop in the Asheville area.
We feature acoustic guitars, mandolins, basses, bouzoukis, banjos, violins, lap dulcimers, and other instruments popular in Celtic, Old-Time, Bluegrass, Jazz, and other acoustic music styles. Makers include Larrivee, Godin (Seagull and Art & Lutherie), Shen, Eastman, Gold Tone, Pisgah Banjos, Gatchell, Old Fiddle Road, Kala, and Chanterelle, among others. We also carry a full array of accessories and instructional materials. We have a comprehensive repair facility ready to set up or repair your guitar, fiddle, mandolin, banjo, or what-have-you we also install pick ups, and repair electronics. We have one-on-one musical instruction on-site, and our instrument rental program is one of the best in the region.
This website is your opportunity to get to know us and the shop, and learn a bit about what we do and what we offer. This is not an e-commerce site. We strongly believe that each instrument is unique, and we encourage our customers to come visit us and experience the instruments first-hand. Mail-order is available, however, if a trip to the Southern Appalachians just isn't in your plans. Just give us a call at 828-669-5162.
For general information about Acoustic Corner, email us or call 828-669-5162. Our hours are 10 to 7, Monday through Friday, and 10 to 5 on Saturdays. For more specific questions about our inventory, call or email our showroom.

Our canine greeter Toby left us on May 15, to join BB King and fellow music-loving canines in the Great Beyond.

Repair Tech Matthew Hannafin relocated to Glasgow, Scotland just before Christmas, to be with his bride and to focus on violin luthery. We wish him all the best.

Rob has settled in quickly and is doing a great job, already. . . come by and help us welcome them into the Acoustic Corner family.
We have another new family member . . . our banjo instructor Billy Presnell has come on board in the showroom to fill in for vacationing and otherwise absent folks. He's already committed to working at the Swannanoa Gathering with us, so you'll be seeing him around this summer out at Warren Wilson.

Amazing. It's super pigmented, lasts a very long time and the color is absolutely amazing! It's blue toned but i think id would like gorgeous on any skin color! I love this lipstick so much and I'm so glad MAC made it a permanent color. The only con i could find was that it's quite drying. It personally doesn't bother me too much since I love matte lipsticks and it's hard to find non drying ones. You just need to exfoliate and moisturize your lips really well before applying and you're gold. I highly recommend this lipstick to anyone. It's definitely a statement color!

I love this!!!! Cost me $16. At Mac store in Macy's. I only use for special occasions because it is a very bright color. I am a NC45 and it compliments my skintone. Even my boyfriend loves it on me, and he isn't a fan of makeup :) Does last a good amount of time. I like to apply my Eco lipbalm and let that sit on my lips before I apply the lipstick just so I can get a smoother look.

Im inlove with this lipstick! extremely pigmented & the colour is so vibrant. This was my first bright lipstick, I never felt brave enough to wear such a bright colour on my lips, after seeing candy yum yum being re released by mac and It becoming a sensation on youtube I had to buy it! its very matt so lasts on the lips a long time, slightly drying but I will only wear matt formulas, any other formula lasts no time atall on my lips and I hate that. Overall I would suggest this lipstick to anyone who has not yet got a bright blue toned pink lipstick in their collection.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE this color and bright pink lippies, and even MAC lippies, but this matte formula is worse than any other MAC matte lippie I've tried. It highlights every crack in your lips kind of like St. Germain does/did for me.
Luckily I was able to find a fantastic dupe- Stila Color Balm in Betsey. It is super moisturizing, has a minty feel and smell and is almost the same pink. I love it!

This lipstick is literally great for any skin tone. Don't worry if you're too dark or to pale because it will probably look great on you. I got so many compliments from this lipstick. You definitely control the color of this lipstick whether you want to look natural or flirty for a night out. It's a matte finish but it isn't that dry. Brightest pink I have without looking crazy.

One of my favorite barbie pink colors for the lips!!!
This stuff is drying so of course using a balm underneath helps but back to the color wich is gorgeous and I have been using it since it came out!!
But I may not have to repurchase due to Wet 'n' Wild - Penthouse Sweet A036 color by Fergie is damn near a dead ringer for this color and is more moisturizing (not to mention cheaper) check it out!
If the WnW color got discontinued I'd be back getting Candy Yum Yum!

This wonderful 250 year-old house with its newer separate cottage have been carefully designed to accommodate large or small groups of up to 10 people. All the bedrooms face the large walled garden away from the village street, so are perfectly quiet. Plenty of bath/shower rooms serviced by a solar hot water system add to your comfort. There are two main outside dining areas, one seating 6-8, one up to ten people, whilst further seating and loungers can be found in the garden, on the roof terraces or around the pool. There is a further eating area for 4 in the cottage patio. A dining room for six inside adds to your choice. A breathtaking upstairs living area seats up to ten also. The house walls in the old house are extremely thick and the windows are traditionally small to counter the summer heat, the cottage is fully air conditioned. There are three outside showers at the house and the cottage, the private pool is not overlooked and there are extensive views to the countryside and sea beyond from the garden and the two terraces. The main house roof terrace is perfect for watching the famous Yalikavak sunsets as the whole house and gardens are built South facing. Star gazing is also perfect from this vantage point.
This old house is the perfect place for a relaxing, quiet holiday, whilst soaking up the sun you can soak up the atmosphere of a truly traditional Turkish village, where life is still slow enough to stop and smile, take tea and chat. A rare treat

The Turkish Aegean Coast region
You can pretty much guarantee blue skies, sunshine and warm water on the Aegean Coast in the summer. In general they have mild winters and good summers, the southern coast hitting the high 30s in June and staying high until well into the autumn. Temperatures of 40 degrees are not unknown in August, although prevailing breezes wafting the Northern part of the peninsula keep it pleasant.
Beautiful long stretches of sand coupled with intricate rocky coves and sharply bright aquamarine water set against a backdrop of deep green pine tree forests make this coastline a strikingly beautiful place, there are still hidden away places where you can enjoy its charm alone. If you are a history buff, then this is the place for you, it's groaning with it!
Close by is the ancient harbour of Gumusluk, where you can still see parts of the old Greek city under the waters. Bodrum town boasts an amphitheatre and St Peter's Castle complete with dungeons dating from the Crusades.The small, but perfectly formed Iassos ancient city lies beyond Gulluk about an hour's drive, you will find a great fish restaurant there too; so make a day of it! Further afield, but only a couple of hours away, is the massive Temple of Apollo in Didim, the ancient amphitheatres at Priene and Milet and the spectacular almost complete ancient city at Ephes although the furthest (3-4 hours) is deemed to be one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Prepare to be amazed!
Yalikavak, about 1.5 kms from Gokcebel, is a charming unspoiled village, nestling amongst lush tangerine and lemon orchards, with a functioning fishing harbour where visiting yachts and fishing boats bob cheerfully together. More relaxed than the busier holiday resorts, it exudes a wonderful mix of laid back local life and Mediterranean chic. Yalikavaks' boundaries stretch in the North from the old marina, right around the bay, to the brand new modern Port Bodrum marina to the south, which hosts numerous world-class sailing events throughout the year. Life in and around the region focuses on the sea and is a mecca for water sport enthusiasts, with kite and windsurfing and scuba diving topping the bill. For those in search of a more languid affair, a private gulet charter around some of the local islands is a must, which can be arranged with us. Between the two marinas are a wide variety of restaurants, cafes and many small sandy beaches, where you can sit with an ice cold drink and watch the best sunsets on the peninsula. The main street in Yalikavak is well served with a variety of shops and supermarkets. Behind the main village is the Bus Station, Municipal offices, bank and the area on which the Yalikavak market is held every Thursday. This market was voted in the TOP Three markets in the whole of Turkey in 2009.
Yalikavak, now known as 'The Saint Tropez of Turkey' truly has the potential to become one of the hotspots of the area.
Bodrum, 15 kms from Yalikavak, is a town of many parts, sophisticated and fun, tranquil and hectic. Set on the harbour with its focal point of the beautiful 12th C. St. Peter's castle, it boasts hundreds of bars and restaurants and a lively yacht club right on the water's edge. This is a sophisticated haunt, encompassing different style restaurants great bars and clubs with live music 'till late.
The original town is a maze of little alleys and lanes twisting and turning around its sugar cube houses with their mysterious high-walled gardens. It is an all year round place, which makes it so special for the out of season visitor; no dead streets with nowhere to find a meal whenever November strikes. There is a summer music and film festival in Bodrum every year.
Bitez has beautiful sandy beaches great watersports and the best Sunday brunches I have ever tasted.

"The perfect family summer holiday"
The Old Stone House and Cottage were the perfect place to take our extended family on holiday. It was the first time we have taken all four daughters (and two friends) away for a holiday abroad in the sun. Friends of ours had recommended the house, particularly as it was characterful, charming, beautifully decorated with a peaceful garden and outdoor pool. The owner was really helpful before we went, organising transfers from the airport and car hire as well as recommending places to visit, eat and shop. The weather was very hot and the kids spent hours in the pool. In the evening my husband enjoyed using the outdoor wood fired oven and we all chilled out playing backgammon. The house was looked after by a local chap and his wife cooked an authentic Turkish meal for us, it was fun taking her shopping and learning about Turkish cuisine. Whilst we were there we went on a gulet boat trip, which the owner had organised for us with one of her friends. This was fantastic, a real highlight. The car hire people gave us the best rate on the exchange rate and were very helpful in general. Yalikavak, Gumusluk and Bodrum were all great places to visit, stroll through, eat and relax in the sun. Off season I would imagine it would be a perfect location from which to explore the mountains and other sites of antiquity. We would recommend this property to families and people who want to relax in a real home, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of villa resorts.

"Beautiful house in peaceful surroundings"
Eljay gave great tips and advice about flights, car hire, places to visit and couldn't have been more helpful. Always a delight to deal with. The traditional Turkish style of the house made the stay most enjoyable. The accommodation was clean and everything had been provided. There were plenty of places to sit both in and out of the sun and the pool was very beautiful. A very relaxing stay and we hope to return at some point in the future. The second bedroom is a little small as is the wardrobe, but we used the many baskets and it was not a problem. Thoroughly recommend.

"Lovely, characterful house for people who like something different"
Nestled up a hill in a village only 10 minutes from the beach. Ideal if you like privacy, character and peace and quiet. The owners are lovely and their contact for local car hire is delightful.
8 Jul 2011
"lovely place"
beautifully renovated traditional house and garden. Has some quirks of an old-fashioned place in this area (eg, small bedrooms), but this is far more than made up for by charm and interest surpassing anything you could get in more recent construction. The garden, small pool, and upstairs deck area are particularly idyllic and great for relaxing. The owner was incredibly helpful and provides many valuable tips for outings and fun stuff to do in the area.

You learn a rival is trying to sabotage you, perhaps by planting embarrassing rumors about you or undermining a project you're working on. Don't waste time plotting revenge.
Some people are the butts of everyone's jokes. They are the designated punching bags, the meek or gawky folks who seem born to play victim.
January is a good month to invite your employees to predict results over the coming year.
Just because you're the boss doesn't mean you must bear the sole burden for motivating your employees.
More employees are asking to split a full-time position. This trend may put you in a bind: You want to accommodate workers, but you must maintain productivity.
You're tired of hearing a colleague insult your boss and other co-workers.

+ARM Backend News Update
+Starting with the good news, we finally merged the ``arm-backend-2`` branch
+into the main development line. As described in previous posts the main goal of
+this branch was to add support for ARM processors to PyPY's JIT. As a general
+byproduct the multi-architecture support should have tgo we improved several
+details of PyPy to better support non-x86 architectures such as ARM and the
+in-progress support for PPC64. The JIT requires an ARMv7 or newer processor
+with a VFP unit targeting the ARM application Profile. These are the same
+requirements as those of the Ubuntu ARM port and correspond to the hardware
+used in most smartphones and development boards offered today.
+The non-JIT version
+might support previous architecture versions, but will be slow.
+Floating Point Support
+The JIT backends supports floating point numbers and therefore requires a VFP
+unit to be present. The **Procedure Call Standard for the ARM Architecture**
+(`PDF`_) describes in the *base procedure call standard* how parameters are
+passed in processor registers and on the stack when calling a function.
+When supporting floating points there are two incompatible procedure call
+standards and three ways of handling floats. Usually they are referred to as
+*softfp*, *soft-float* and *hard-float*. The first two use the core registers
+to pass floating point arguments. The first uses a software based
+float-implementation, while the second can use a floating point unit. The
+latter and incompatible one requires a floating point unit and uses the
+coprocessor registers to pass floating arguments to calls. A detailed
+comparison can be found `here`_.
+The PyPy ARM backend currently supports the soft-float calling convention,
+which is the most common one. This means that we have to copy floating point
+values from the VFP to core registers and the stack when generating code for a
+call that involves floating point values. Because the soft- and hard-float
+calling conventions are incompatible, PyPy for ARM currently only will work on
+systems built using soft-float. More and more GNU/Linux distributions for ARM
+are supporting hard-float. There is almost finished support in the JIT backend
+for the hard-float calling convention, but we seem to have hit an issue with
+ctypes/libffi on ARM that is blocking us to run our tests against the
+hard-float implementation.
+Testing and Infrastructure
+By now we have an infrastructure the allows us to create cross-translated
+binaries for ARM. Currently we compile binaries in a 32bit Ubuntu 12.04
+environment using scratchbox2_ to encapsulate the cross-compiler calls. The
+results can be downloaded and tested from our `nightly build server`_. Some
+documentation on how to cross-translate is available in the `PyPy docs`_.
+We also have some hardware to run the subset of the PyPy test-suite relevant to
+the ARM-JIT backend and to run the tests suite that tests the translated ARM
+binaries. The nightly tests are run on a Beagleboard-xM_ and an i.MX53_
+versatile board (kindly provided by Michael Foord), both boards running the ARM port `Ubuntu
+12.04 Precise Pangolin`_. The current results for the different builders can be
+seen on the `PyPy buildbot`_. As can be seen there are still some issues to be

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Article Summary
Graphene promises to revolutionize electronics but we're still waiting for graphene-based technologies to hit the market. Rice University researchers have now created transparent, graphene-based electrodes that they say could be the "killer app" that finally puts graphene into the commercial spotlight. The graphene-based electrodes could be used to replace the increasingly expensive indium tin oxide (ITO) in touch-screen displays, photovoltaic solar cells and LED lighting.

Wyndham Lewis
Percy Wyndham Lewis (November 18, 1882 – March 7, 1957) was an English painter and author (he dropped the name 'Percy', which he disliked). He was a co-founder of the Vorticist movement in art, and edited the literary magazine of the Vorticists, BLAST. His novels include his pre-World War I-era novel Tarr (set in Paris), and The Human Age, a trilogy comprising The Childermass (1928), Monstre Gai and Malign Fiesta (both 1955), set in the afterworld. A fourth volume of The Human Age, The Trial of Man, was begun by Lewis but left in a fragmentary state at the time of his death. He also wrote two autobiographical volumes, Blasting and Bombardiering (1937) and Rude Assignment: A Narrative of my Career up-to-date (1950).

'Gabbar' targets corrupt officials - will this bad guy get good results?
The problem with the third chapter of the Insidious franchise? It is just not scary. And last checked, that is exactly what 'horror flicks' do, right?
Unlike the Bhatts' last film Khamoshiyan which was unintentionally funny Mr X is not even that. It is punishingly bad.
You might guffaw at a few scenes because the film isn't exactly an epitome of logical thinking. But as an entertainer, it's colourful, crisp and convivial.
You either have a sense of humour or you don't. If you try too hard to sound funny, it never works. If you put together done to death Gujju, Italian and gay people stereotypes, you get KKLH.
All said and done, the overriding message of Broken Horses is, of course, one of brotherly love and the fact that although circumstances might change, some bonds remain unbroken.
"Inside Out" is classic Pixar, yet different. It is a high concept film that hinges entirely on execution and thankfully, that job was handled well.
Based on Walt Disney's realised vision of Tomorrowland theme parks, this Brad Bird film tries to bring its mythology to life. And it is a doozy!

Destination wedding planning? I spent four days soaking in all things matrimonial at the 102-acre Terranea Resort, watching processions of magazine-ready brides and bridesmaids in the most exquisite landscape imaginable, surrounded by water as far as the eye can see. It would be hard to do better than the sun-kissed California resort on the Palo Verdes Peninsula: An easy 40 minute drive from LAX, Terranea offers an appealing blend of luxury and natural beauty, plus countless ways for guests to engage with its unique location hugging a Pacific hillside where whales, dolphins and sea lions are your neighbors.
The resort is a celebrity hub, featuring a number of discrete bungalows, casitas and villas for maximum privacy. Mariah Carey once holed up here for months on a babymoon getaway, and stars like ER's Goran Visnjic dined at resort hot spot Catalina Kitchen during my visit. Movies from Pirates of the Caribbean to This Is 40 have used Terranea as a stand-in for paradise. Terranea stages more than 100 weddings a year, from intimate sunset affairs to 600+ blowouts coming in at a million dollars (or more!). The superhumanly-flexible staff know how to go with the flow and acknowledge few arrangements are beyond their abilities, including accommodating an elephant (one way Indian grooms choose to make an entrance at traditional weddings) — a virtual requirement at high-end L.A. wedding destinations. While at Terranea I picked up a host of great tips for outdoor and destination weddings from the resort's wedding experts, as well as the lovely wedding journalists at The Honeymoonist, 100 Layer Cake and Mooshinindy.
The Honeymoon Locale Has Become the Wedding
The beauty of a destination wedding is, of course, a gorgeous location. But it's also a great way to entice guests to fly in for a mini vacation and allows for plenty of magical bonding opportunities with your guests and a way to extend your special day into a weekend or more. L.A. is an easy-to-reach destination, but more exotic destinations are also on the rise, say the wedding insiders I spoke with, including Bora Bora, Croatia and Vietnam. These spots are moving beyond honeymoon to destination wedding locales.
Be the Hostess With the Mostest
If you've planned a destination wedding, you're the travel agent who's going to ensure your guests have a good time. Sure, your wedding will be the high point, but think about the comfort and entertainment factor beyond your big day. How will they stay busy? What will they eat? You can have a variety of activity options lined up to keep adventurous guests busy, but also factor in plenty of down time if friends and family want to just enjoy the resort or catch up on work. Also, think about how your guests will get to the resort; consider a destination that's relatively close to a major airport and won't require guests to rent a car once they arrive. Remember, they're going to a lot of trouble and expense to come to your wedding, so celebrate that gesture and make it easy for them.
Add Succulents + Terrariums
In the lush, low-water California landscape of Terranea, succulents grow like weeds. But you can add them to your event in lots of inventive, inexpensive ways even if your wedding is not taking place in California. Incorporate them into boutonnieres, place them in small terra-cotta pots on tables or create terrariums filled with succulents as a centerpiece. Better still, succulents are incredibly durable and do well with potting up well in advance. I loved these fabulously simple, easy-to-create succulents in a rainbow of shades that decorated the Terranea spa.
Go With Graphics + Bright Hues
It's out with the old white and tasteful neutrals and in with the punchy hues. Brides are not settling for catering standards of generic plates and ho-hum glassware; they're pulling in their own collections or migrating toward wedding planners who can rope in bright, graphic tablecloths, eclectic plates and flatware and lots of colors to make their big day unique. Think of your wedding as an extension of your home's decor: if midcentury modern and retro combos of tangerine and gray are your jam, then bring that sense of taste to your special day.

Explore the Entrepreneurship.org Resource Center to find resources. Designed with entrepreneurs in mind, our resource center allows you to find materials to grow great ideas.
Many founders have cited the importance of access to mentoring and coaching that the peer-to-peer organizations, as well as industry groups, Chambers of Commerce, and trade associations, have provided for them.
Mentors help us confront adversity, seize opportunity, learn from mistakes, understand our strengths and grow as leaders. Learn how to be an effective mentor to other entrepreneurs. (Published Oct 2002)
Entrepreneurs loath to seek mentoring should take at least one piece of advice: try it, you'll like it, writes the author who built a business by accepting help from smarter and more experienced founders. Included is a look at the workings of her relationship with her current mentor. (Originally Published October 2002)
Michael Gallegos has always believed in giving back, but he only recently discovered the importance of giving back to entrepreneurship.
Going global takes guts, the author asserts. You have to confront the unknown and make it look easy when it's not.
Don Grimm spreads his giving back around through nonprofit and for-profit boards to tech transfer and angel investing.
Pittsburg, Kansas and Pittsburg State University benefit from the broad generosity of Gene Bicknell, who gives because "it's the right thing to do."
Joan and Stephen Carter's small company gives back to entrepreneurship in a big way through the Junior Achievement program.
The founder of an Internet-services provider ignores the mantra of the boom years of the late 1990s that fast growth would equal fast profit and opted instead for what he calls a "sensible" approach to building a company. That is a business model based on the need to turn a profit and tactics for doing so, the author writes.
Leveraging your advisors and directors is a lot like managing your customers: Accurate information and clear communication are key to a good relationship. Recruiting knowledgeable executives from established, prestigious companies is a good way to gain experience and credibility-but for this serial start-up founder, it's even more important to ask them the right questions and pay attention to their suggestions.

Through My Eyes 6th AnniversaryWow, it's been six years already.
Who knew a story like this turned out to be a hoot when it was all for a test run on how i would interact with the world of the Great Mouse Detective. Not to mention it would spawn inspired spin-offs!
I couldn't be more proud of this story because it was the first completed fanfic that had many of my friends pushing me to finish. It brought me many friends and fans, so I'm happy for this story to have come a long way.
Thank you all for keeping the story alive today. I'll forever love the Great Mouse Detective and I'll forever love the story I left on the internet.
So, as a small tribute, if you read my story, tell us what you thought about it. What is it about the story that loved the most? Hell, even I'm curious. Leave a comment about it, if you choose!
Happy Anniversary, Through My Eyes! Thank you...for everything.

L E? @ALLANTY ET AL Juiy 3Q, 1946.
@LEANZNG DEVICE ed ma 7, 1943 Fil Patented July 30,1946
OFFICE TONGUE CLEANING DEVICE Irving B. Gallanty, New York, and Robert M. Larsen, Rockville Centre, N. Y.
Application May 7, 1943, Serial No. 486,070
1 Claim. 1
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in tongue-cleaning devices, and has for its principal object the provision of an improved device of this general character which will enable the user to quickly and easily clean the tongue without, however, causing any injury to the delicate membranes.
In the past, tongue-cleaning devices have generally been of two kinds, to wit, tongue scrapers, and tongue brushes. The scraper has usually comprised a curved scraping element mounted on a handle, or a straight scraper resembling a, miniature hoe mounted at right angles to the handle. These scrapers, being exactly what the name implies, have been objectionable for a number of reasons, chief of which is the very imminent possibility of injuring the delicate mucous membranes forming the tongue surface. In order to perform the operation with any measure of success, relatively sharp edges were required, which frequently produced cuts and abrasions of the membranes. If the edges were suiiiciently dulled to eliminate with certainty this danger, the device was not capable of removing the deposits on the tongue surface, since this accumulation clings to the tongue surface, and particularly to the many interstices therein, with a high order of adhesion. Moreover, devices of this general character were entirely incapable of removing the secretions in these minute interstices, so at best the tongue scrapers, per se, were incapable of accomplishing their intended purpose. Also, the number of instances of positive injury to the tongue is legion.
The second type of tongue-cleaning element, the brush, had fewer of the foregoing objections, providing the individual bristles Were soft enough, but such soft bristles did a most poor cleaning operation. The nature of the accumulated deposits on the tongue is such as to be incapable of removal by a brushing device, and if the bristles were relatively hard, the danger of infection was considerable. It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel tonguecleaning element which will eliminate all of the foregoing objections inasmuch as means are provided in the element for creating a suction as the device moves over the tongue, thus withdrawing the accumulated substance without any scraping or brushing action whatsoever.
Specifically, the device of the present invention may comprise a handle member of any suitable material-preferably one of the plastics, because of their easy-cleaning qualitieswhich has a curved or otherwise shaped terminal portion.
2 The precise shape of this terminal portion is a matter of choice, and is generally immaterial just so long as it includes a portion having a length less than the width of the tongue, which portion is generally flat or convexly curved in transverse section. It is preferred, however, to have this portion generally curved throughout its length. There is formed in this surface an elongated recess of lesser length than the length of the surface, and of fair depth. The marginal edges of the recess, as well as the marginal edges of the surface of this cleaning portion, are slightly rounded to positively prevent any injury to the tongue.
When this element is drawn over the tongue, a fair degree of pressure being applied to the tongue surface, a distinct suction is created between the walls of the recess and the tongue surface. The reason why this suction or partial vacuum is created is perfectly obvious. The length of the recess is less than the width of the tongue. When the surface of the recessed cleaning element is pressed gently into engagement with the tongue surface, the adjacent portion of such tongue surface moves into the recess throughout its length. When the pressure is slightly relaxed, a partial vacuum is created, thus drawing the accumulated substance into the recess. After a few gentle strokes over the tongue surface, placing the cleaning element under a spray of water after each stroke to remove the accumulation, the tongue surface is clean.
It will accordingly be obvious that another object of the present invention is to provide a tongue-cleaning device which, by virtue of its construction and ease of cleaning, is perfectly sanitary, may be readily sterilized, and may be safely used without any danger of depositing germs on the tongue.
In the drawing:
Fig. l is a plan view of one embodiment of the present invention.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged section taken on line 22 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged detailed section of a portion of the device.
Fig. 4 is a broken plan view of a modified form of the present invention.
The tongue cleaner constituting the present invention may be embodied in a separate device intended only for the purpose of cleaning the tongue, or it may be incorporated in a toothbrush handle. In Fig. 1 of the drawing, the latter form is shown, and the device in this instance includes the usual tooth-brush handle l0 having the brushing elements II at one end thereof. The handle may, if desired, be slightly curved over the major portion of its length, and the end opposite the brushing element is curved in a generally semi-circular fashion, as shown at 12. This handle may be made of the usual plastic material, or any other suitable material which is readily cleaned and easily formed or molded to any desired shape.
The precise cross-sectional area of the handle 10 and of this semi-circular terminal portion 12 is, of course, a matter of choice. Elements of this character are usually of generally rectangular or elliptical cross-sectional shape, and such shape is suitable for the present purposes, as shown clearly in Fig. 2. On one or both of the narrower surfaces, a relatively deep recess I3 is formed in the curved terminal portion, thus providing marginal edges I4 which are desirably somewhat rounded in order to definitely prevent any injury to the tongue as the cleaning element is moved thereover.
In the embodiment illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3, the recess I3 is formed on one edge only and extends somewhat more than half the total depth of this portion. The precise shape and size of this curved terminal portion I2 is, of course, a matter of choice, although it is preferred to make it substantially as shown in Fig. l of the drawing which illustrates what may constitute a full-sized embodiment. In any event, the total width of the curved terminal should be somewhat less than the width of the tongue. At the free end of the curved portion, the recess should stop short of the terminal, as shown at [5, and at its opposite end, the recess should terminate adjacent to a point [6 where the handle proper begins. It will thus be seen that when the working surface of the cleaning element is placed in firm engagement with the tongue in such a Way that all portions of the marginal edges 14 of the recess are pressed firmly into engagement with the tongue, and the cleaning element moved over the surface of the tongue, a suction will be formed which will withdraw the accumulated deposits from the tongue, all as was pointed out at some detail earlier in the specification.
In the embodiment shown in Fig. 4, the handle 29 is also formed with a curved terminal portion 2|, and in this instance, three recesses 22, 23 and 24 are formed, such recesses being sepa rated by walls 25 and 26, There is thus provided a plurality of independent, unconnected, suctioncreating recesses. For simplicity in manufacture, it is preferred to form the handle and the tonguecleaning element integrally by molding both portions from a single piece of plastic material. It will be appreciated, however, that they may be formed separately and the handle appropriately joined to the tongue-cleaning element, which may be curved, as shown, or which may be straight.
The foregoing embodiments of the invention are illustrative only and are not to be taken in any limiting sense. In other words, many changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention, as defined by the appended claim.
What we claim is:
A tongue scraper of the character described comprising a handle portion formed with a hookshaped end, said hook-shaped end being of lesser width than the width of the tongue and having on one face thereof a relatively deep crescentshaped recess which is disposed generally laterally of the handle portion, the walls of the recess diverging from the base thereof to the face of the hook-shaped end and forming scraping edges on such face, said walls meeting at their opposed terminals and forming a pocket with closed ends,
the opposed terminals of such scraping edges di-:
recting accumulated matter on the tongue to a position substantially centrally of the recess and effecting removal thereof.

Regarding "Home insurance rates rise" (News, Aug. 27): Insurance premiums aren't affected by one storm, but by the history of many. When it comes to insurance rates, homeowners should know that an increase in rates is never a "knee-jerk" decision. Rates are carefully calculated based on several factors including an assessment of losses from previous storms and the likelihood of experiencing future claims.
Weather-related events play an important role in the pricing of homeowners insurance. In 2011, Oklahoma had nearly 1,100 severe weather-related reports — the 10th highest in the nation. Over the past five years, catastrophes represented roughly two-thirds of the state's total paid homeowners losses, higher than other states, including Gulf Coast states. Homeowners' catastrophe insurance claims have more than doubled in the past decade. The average claim cost has risen from $4,000-$6,000 to $10,000-$11,000.
While unfortunate, these rate increases are unavoidable. Premiums in Oklahoma haven't been enough to cover related losses and expenses. Insurers remain committed to paying claims quickly, fairly and helping residents get back on their feet. But for insurers to be able to meet the needs of customers, premiums must increase to keep up with rising costs.
