11. A buccal implant according to claim 10, wherein the plate or plates are provided with a cavity filled with product, the walls of said cavity being constituted by a substance having controlled permeability.
This invention relates to a buccal implant for passing soluble or solubilizable substances contained in said implant into the saliva.
It is known that certain substances, medicaments, analgesics, tranquilizers or the like must be introduced into the human body both continuously and in small doses. When these medicaments are administered through traditional channels such as oral, subcutaneous or the like, this administration is performed abruptly, thus resulting in a variation of large doses of said substances in the body, especially in the case of products which produce rapid metabolization. Thus an excessive dose is given at the outset followed by a more or less rapid decrease according to the rate of injection of the medicament. In the case in which excessive doses of medicaments are unnecessary and even dangerous by reason of their secondary effects, it is necessary to subject the patient to repeated absorptions of small doses. This gives rise to a large number of disadvantages, in particular the possibility of forgetting doses and does not overcome the disadvantages relating to "sawtooth" concentrations in the body. Moreover, it is sometimes an advantage to sweeten the breath continuously by means of an aromatic substance which is continuously fixed in the mouth by means of a mechanical support.
The present invention is directed to a buccal implant of a novel type which releases in a sufficiently uniform manner the substances which are contained therein in order that it can be employed during a period of time of the order of several hours or even several days. The implant is of simple construction without any danger for the mucous membrane of the mouth and is easy to place in position without requiring the presence of a medical practitioner.
Furthermore, said device limits the dangers attendant upon accidental injection of excessive doses of medicament since the plates have a longer active service life. The medical practitioner is able to control the dose given to the patient and to interrupt the injection at any time, which is not the case with pills or tablets which are swallowed and cannot be recovered.
The interdental implant is constituted by at least one plate of small thickness and of suitable shape such as a rectangular shape, for example, said plate being placed in the vicinity of the gum and attached to the teeth by fastening means. The plate is formed of material which contains solubilizable substances. In a preferential embodiment of the invention, the fastening means make use of the interdental space for inserting an element which maintains the plate in position, that is to say opposite to the gum.
Suction cup devices are also employed for attaching the plate, these different devices being intended to ensure that the plate is continuously moistened by the saliva into which the substances of the plate are released. After passing into the saliva, the substances are carried into the body at each deglutition (approximately 1200 per day).
In one embodiment of the invention, the means for fastening the plate are constituted by a spike (or a number of spikes) having the shape of a needle and rigidly fixed to the plate. The spike and the plate are both made of plastic material of a suitable type which is not liable to irritate the gum. The spike is perpendicular to the plate and has a slightly smaller section than the interdental space. The length of the spike is of the same order of thickness as the base of a tooth. The spike is inserted in the same manner as a toothpick between two teeth and preferably two teeth of the lower jaw, the plate being adjacent to the gum.
The section of the spike is a polygon which is adapted to the shape of the base of the interdental cavity. In accordance with the invention sections of triangular or trapezoidal shape in which the large base of the trapezium is located at the lower end of the spike are such that said spike is prevented mechanically from pivoting between two teeth and the plate thus remains in a stationary position after the spike has been fixed. It is also possible to give an adapted curvature to the sides of the triangle constituting a section of the spike so that fastening of this latter between the teeth can be even further facilitated. At the end remote from the plate, there can advantageously be added to the spike a small flexible stud which is substantially perpendicular to said spike and is capable of bending at the time of insertion of the spike between the teeth. Said stud forms a stop for preventing the spike and consequently the plate from slipping in particular towards the front of the mouth.
The spike-stud assembly performs the function of a harpoon. Locking of the device in accordance with the invention between the teeth is perfect; the polygonal shape of the spike prevents any movement of rotation and the stud prevents any movement of translation. In the case of a suction cup associated with the plate and applied either against the gum or against a gum prosthesis, the two movements of locking in translation and in rotation are carried out simultaneously. It is also possible to attach the plate by means of a reinforced wire which is inserted on each side of one or a number of teeth and which can be bent back against the teeth on the side remote from the plate.
It is readily apparent that, in the case of plates of larger size which are intended to release a greater quantity of product into the saliva, it may prove necessary to attach the plate or plates to two spikes which are inserted between two different pairs of teeth.
Tests performed on a large number of patients have shown that the implant did not cause any disadvantages so far as the gum was concerned and permitted ready adaptation since the patient had a tendency to forget his implant after a few minutes. The implant does not cause any hindrance either to breathing or to swallowing, does not cause any irritation and permits smoking, drinking and eating.
The use of the device during the night is not attended by any disadvantages. It is true that deglutition takes place at a lower rate but this very phenomenon can be an advantage for injecting the medicament or any other substance at a smaller nocturnal dose.
The substance constituting the plate can be wholly soluble, with the result that the soluble medicament passes from the plate into the saliva. Alternatively and in accordance with a preferential embodiment of the invention, said substance can be constituted by a hydrophobic substrate containing hydrophilic inclusions in which any desired medicament has been stored. The hydrophobic substrate containing hydrophilic inclusions was described in French patent Application No 73 40002 by Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique and filed on Nov. 9, 1973 in respect of "Hydrophobic substrate containing hydrophilic inclusions." With this substrate, the saliva which moistens the plate passes through the hydrophobic substrate, dissolves part of the substances which have high concentrations in the hydrophilic inclusions; these substances then perfuse through the hydrophoblic substrate so as to be injected into the body by means of the saliva.
It is readily apparent that the dose can be varied and a number of medicaments can even be mixed together by adding a number of plates on a single spike.
In the case of medicaments having a bitter and unpleasant taste which are fixed on a plate, it will be an advantage to add a second plate containing aromatic substances containing menthol, for example, in order to conceal the taste of the medicament.
It will be noted that the plates are usually moistened on both faces, namely the face which is placed against the gum and the other face which is placed in contact with the mucous membrane of the mouth. Tests have shown that the preferential location of the implant was in the vicinity of the first molars close to Stensen's duct which is connected to the parotid gland. However, each person can clearly place the implant between the teeth which have a favorable spacing. After a certain number of dental operations calling for a local analgesic in the vicinity of a tooth, the implant will preferably be placed in the vicinity of this tooth in order to attenuate postoperative pains.
In order to facilitate the manufacture of dental implants, it is sometimes an advantage in accordance with the invention to construct them in two parts; the first part is constituted by one or a number of spikes rigidly fixed to a small cross-bar provided with male studs and a second part constituted by one or a number of plates pierced with holes, the plates being intended to be fixed on the spike by means of the hole which is engaged over the studs.
In another embodiment of the invention which is particularly useful when the medicament is to be stored in the liquid state, there can be included in the plate a cavity filled with liquid containing the substances to be administered, the walls of said cavity being constituted by a plastic hydrophobic material containing hydrophilic inclusions as described earlier. More generally, any membrane which allows the contents located on one side of the membrane to diffuse at a low and uniform rate when placed in contact with water can be employed in order to constitute the walls aforementioned.
It is also possible to store soluble substances in the solid state within the cavity, said substances being dissolved in contact with the saliva which diffuses within the cavity. The difference in osmotic pressure resulting from the dissolved substances causes these latter to migrate with the saliva within the oral cavity in order to be assimilated by the patient. With a view to assisting exchange processes between the saliva and the plate it is possible to increase the exchange surfaces in respect of a substantially equal volume by giving corrugated or recessed shapes to the plates. Similarly, in order to prevent that surface of the plates which is in contact with the cross-bar from remaining inactive since this portion is not in contact with the saliva, a corrugated shape can be given to the cross-bar in accordance with the invention.
Further properties and advantages of the invention will become more readily apparent from the following description of exemplified embodiments which are given by way of explanation and not in any limiting sense, reference being made to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 illustrates an interdental implant placed between two teeth, the plate of said implant being applied against the lower gum;
FIG. 2 illustrates an interdental implant provided with a spike and with a stud at right angles to said spike;
FIG. 3 illustrates an interdental implant provided with two spikes for a single plate;
FIG. 4 illustrates an interdental implant made up of three parts, namely two plates and a spike and cross-bar assembly;
FIG. 5 is a sectional view illustrating an interdental implant provided with a cavity which is filled with a liquid;
FIG. 6 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 7 illustrates an embodiment of the invention comprising a plate and a wire which is inserted between the teeth;
FIG. 8 illustrates an embodiment of the invention comprising a cross-bar of corrugated structure;
FIG. 9 illustrates an embodiment of the invention in which both plates have a corrugated structure;
FIG. 10 illustrates a cross-bar fixed on the gum by means of a reinforced wire which is inserted between the teeth;
FIG. 11 illustrates a plate which is rigidly fixed to a suction cup.
There is shown in FIG. 1 an interdental implant comprising a plate 2 and a spike 4. Said implant is intended to be fixed on the gum 6 by means of the spike 4 which is inserted between two teeth such as the teeth 8 and 10. The face 12 of the plate is moistened by the gum and the face 14 is moistened by the mucous membrane lining of the mouth.
In FIG. 2, there is shown an implant of the spike type in accordance with the invention comprising a flexible stud 16 which permits more secure fastening of the implant between two teeth, the stud 16 on the spike 4 being sufficiently flexible to be readily inserted between the two teeth, then to recover its initial shape after insertion so as to lock the dental implant in position. The locking action is produced by the "harpoon effect" which was described earlier.
There is shown in FIG. 3 an interdental implant in accordance with the invention and comprising two spikes 4 and 18 which are attached to a single plate 2.
FIG. 4 shows an interdental implant made up of two removable portions, namely a spike 4 which is integral with a cross-bar 20 and a plate 30. The plate 30 is provided with holes 26 and 28 which are intended to engage over the studs 22 and 24 of the cross-bar. This device offers a number of advantages: a number of plates can be placed on one side or on each side of the cross-bar on studs such as 34 and 36 which are located on the other side of the cross-bar with respect to the studs 22 and 24, the plate 32 being intended to engage over said studs. This device also makes it possible at the time of treatment of the materials constituting the implant and containing medicaments to separate the plates and to subject only these latter to a physical or chemical treatment without modifying the chemical structure and the mechanical properties of the spike which is constituted by an inert substance usually consisting of plastic.
FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of the invention in which the plate 2 contains a cavity 38 filled with a liquid 40. The walls such as 42 of the cavity are constituted by a hydrophobic material which contains hydrophilic inclusions, for example and allows the solution to diffuse at a constant rate.
In FIG. 6, there is shown an alternative embodiment of the invention in which the spike 4 is movable and permits of insertion in the grooved element 44 which is rigidly fixed to the plate 2.
FIG. 7 shows another alternative embodiment of the invention in which the spike is replaced by a wire 46 which surrounds a tooth, the plate 2 being intended to rest on the gum.
The top view of FIG. 8 shows an alternative embodiment of the invention in which provision is made for two plates 30 and 32 fixed by means of the studs 22 and 24 on a crossbar 48 of corrugated shape. The plates 30 and 32 are applied against the cross-bar 48 along generator-lines and allow the saliva to flow within the spaces such as 50. Practically the entire internal surface of the plates is thus moistened by the saliva and desorbs the substances which are included therein.
The top view of FIG. 9 shows a further embodiment of the invention in which provision is made for two plates 52 and 54 of corrugated shape which are attached to the cross-bar 20 by means of the studs 22, 24, 34 and 36. These shapes of plates increase the surface area provided for exchange with the saliva.
The embodiment shown in FIG. 10 comprises a cross-bar 20 fitted with two studs 22 and 24 on which a plate is intended to be fastened. The fastening means consist of a reinforced wire 56 and preferably a plastic-coated wire which is inserted on each side of a tooth at the base of this latter, said wire being folded back behind the tooth at 58 as shown in chain-dotted lines. The tooth is located within the space 60 which is surrounded by the wire 58.
There is shown in FIG. 11 another mode of attachment of the plates 30 by means of a suction cup 60 which is applied against the gum or against a gum prosthesis.
It is readily apparent that the invention is not limited to the embodiments described and illustrated in the figures but includes on the contrary all the interdental fastening means which serve to maintain the plate against the gum and preferably against the lower gum.

Ramin Bahrani's first documentary short, including an interview with the director.
This was a day I didn't see coming. The latest film from Japan's Studio Ghibli, which sets the world standard for animation, is a disappointment. Directed by Goro Miyazaki, in his first collaboration with his father, the legendary Hayao, "From Up on Poppy Hill" (2011) centers on two likable and perfectly straightforward college students who do nothing very extraordinary and are in a platonic romance.
The film's hero is actually a ramshackle old mansion named the Latin Quarter. One of those structures much loved by Hayao Miyazaki, like those in "Howl's Moving Castle" or the floating bathhouse in "Spirited Away," it's a clubhouse unfolding in all directions into performances spaces, studios, laboratories, galleries, and other precincts favored by its bohemian members. A rattling chandelier looms above its grand staircase, which like everything in the building, is caked with dust.
For this English-language version, a high-profile American cast was recruited: Jamie Lee Curtis, Beau Bridges, Bruce Dern, etc. Up on Poppy Hill, above the town, Umi (voiced by Sarah Bolger) lives with her grandmother in a boarding house overlooking the harbor. Every morning, she rises early to hoist flags as an aid to her father, whose ship sank during the Korean War. He taught her the naval language of flags, and now she dreams this skill will reunite them.
It is 1963. The Latin Quarter is earmarked for demolition to make room for Tokyo's upcoming Summer Olympics. Umi meets Shun (Anton Yelchin), a club member who gives her a lift into town on his bike, and proudly shows her around the clubhouse. She's impressed by the originality and energy of the members, joins in a demonstration to protect the clubhouse and decides it needs a good scrubbing down. With her friends she throws out junk, scrubs the floors, dusts and arranges. And just in time; they hope to persuade Chairman Tokumaru (Beau Bridges) to come for a tour.
This story is accompanied by plot twists, some suspense and fairly routine developments. What's missing are the complex, baroque characters often created by Miyazaki, like the crone who runs the bathhouse in "Spirited Away," or that film's little Karl Marxian shape-shifters. The two lead characters are standard bland figures, round-faced, round-mouthed, unremarkable.
The artistry is peaceful and comforting to the eyes but not especially stirring. Given the pictorial extremes that Studio Ghibli has gone to in the past, "Up on Poppy Hill" is weak tea. Perhaps Miyazaki, as before, has correctly gauged his nation's temperament. "From Up on Poppy Hill" may not look like it was Japan's top grosser of 2011, but it most surely was.

Findings for PPC in Glendale
Glendale Ranks Amongst Most Expensive Markets for Google Adwords in USA
SEP's ongoing research into PPC Campaigns has revealed that Glendale was the 0th most expensive city in USA in keyword bids in Google Adwords for the month of April 2015. Glendale also ranks amongst the most expensive cities in Arizona, ranking as 10th. In the study, San Buenaventura ranked as the most expensive city in the country, while Manchester ranked as the least expensive city.
Google Adwords Keyword Prices 2% Lower in Glendale than Peoria
SEP's research also tracks Google Adwords price changes and trends in cities across Canada and the U.S. Recent data shows that average prices in Glendale are 2% lower than in Peoria. The average price of a click in Glendale is $8.30.
This price difference is interesting though, given the population of Peoria is less than Glendale.
To get a better sense of relative prices, we also compared prices with another similarly sized city, Garland, and found the average price of a click in Glendale was 51% lower than in Garland.
The Price Rank shows how expensive keywords are in certain industry and segment relative to other cities in a country, region and province.

Had Josephine Lee Echols not rushed from church into the face of danger, there would have been many more people to mourn, a minister said at her funeral service this morning.
Without her, said The Potter's House of Denver senior pastor Christopher Hill, there would have been caskets lined up in front of the podium. "She stood in the gap."
Echols, 67, a registered nurse, was shot to death April 22 after she heard a car crash and ran from her church to help whoever might be hurt. She had no weapon for protection; her shield was her faith in God, Hill said.
Echols was then shot five times outside the New Destiny Christian Center where her son Rev. DeLono DeShan Straham was the pastor.
Echols' nephew Antonio Milow, an off-duty Denver police officer, shot and killed the suspect, Kiarron Parker, 29.
She ran into trouble to save other people Hill said at a "celebration service" filled with laughter, praise, singing and the spoken word. The woman who coaxed her brother and son to be ministers, was honored with a rousing and upbeat church service.
About 50 Denver police officers, including Chief Robert C. White, and hundreds of other people attended the funeral, which was held at The Potter's House, not far from where Echols was killed.
Echols worked in the dialysis unit at the Medical Center of Aurora South. In addition to Straham, she is survived by a daughter Cynthia Renee Tolbert, six grandchildren and four siblings.
Echols graduated from the Faith Tech Bible School in Flint, Mich., and was an ordained minister. She sang in choirs, traveled to Israel with Bennie Hinn's Ministry and made sure patients at the dialysis unit had a Christian TV channel to turn to.
She was married twice, first to Sherman Straham, and later to Eddie Echols. In Michigan she and her husband bought a motorcycle and her nickname became "Brown Sugar."
After moving to Denver to be closer to her son, she was affectionately called "Momma Jo." Her grandchildren recalled her waking them up during visits to her home by singing, "Good morning to you."
She was also strong willed.
"She would just 'nag and nag' until she wore you down and you would just say 'alright already, I get it,'" one family member recalled.
From an early age Echols lived a Christian life, caring for a dying relative, said her brother, Rev. Felix Driver of Hempstead, N.Y.
If not for her encouragement both he and her son would have been dead, he said. Instead they are both ministers.
"My sister left a legacy," Driver said. "She raised the bar for us and if we want to see her again we have to reach the same bar."
Hill said Echols has been answering calls from God since she was a little girl.
Her whole life was a church service, not just when she sat in the New Destiny chapel, Hill said.
"Demons got nervous at the name of Momma Jo," Hill said.
She died as she lived, Hill said, protecting the house of God.
But she's not actually dead, he said.
"She's simply off duty in the presence of her God," Hill said in prayer. "Thank you for her life."

The most spectacular city on earth showcased Filipino and American music and raised thousands in charitable funds for ABS CBN Foundation International, the US-based nonprofit organization whose flagship program in the Philippines, Bantay Bata, provides a safe, nurturing, and loving environment where Filipino children can develop and realize their full potential through the rescue and care of abused, abandoned, and sick children.
Concert pianist and orchestral soloist, Raul Sunico, and Philippine concert king, Martin Nievera, shared the stage and brought The Smith Center's Cabaret Jazz room to life, as the venue's first Filipino musicians, through the endowment of Las Vegas-based philanthropist, Dr. Noel Fajardo. Dr. Fajardo of Las Vegas Gastroenterology was also instrumental in the creation of the Hepatitis B screening program, Juan B Free, that launched this year to provide preventive and early care to the Filipino American community which belongs to an ethnic group where 1 in 10 are affected by the disease. On this occasion, Fajardo brought big artists with big talent to a grand venue to support the charity.
With musical favorites like "Be My Lady," "Corner of the Sky," and Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue," the crowd of 250 patrons and supporters enjoyed an evening of concierto and concert.
"Over the past few years, I have witnessed how ABS CBN Foundation International always came to the needs of our countrymen, in the Philippines and around the globe," said Dr. Noel Fajardo. "Being the first Filipino performers at The Smith Center, Raul Sunico and Martin Nievera have made us proud during this opportunity to help the children of the Philippines."
Fajardo corralled the Filipino American community of Las Vegas to contribute nearly $10,000 towards the cause.
"In our everyday work, it is moments like these that humble as most – to experience the generosity and passion of one man and see how greatly he can affect a community to work towards a cause," said J. Robbie Fabian, President of ABS CBN Foundation International. "The children of the Philippines will sleep better, feel safer, and get a fair shot at life because there were men like Dr. Noel Fajardo, maestro Raul Sunico, and Martin Nievera who remembered to look back and give back."

YIELD: Makes 6 servings
For custard:
Combine first 7 ingredients in medium saucepan. Bring to boil. Remove from heat; cover and let steep 15 minutes to develop flavor.
Preheat oven to 325°F. Place six 3/4-cup custard cups or ramekins in 13x9x2-inch metal baking pan. Pour cream mixture through fine strainer into medium bowl. Discard solids in strainer.
Whisk egg yolks, brown sugar, and orange peel in 4-cup measuring cup to blend well. Gradually whisk in cream mixture. Pour custard into custard cups, dividing equally (cups will not be full). Pour enough hot water into baking pan to come halfway up sides of custard cups. Cover baking pan with foil. Pierce foil in several places with skewer to allow steam to escape.
Bake custards until softly set (centers will move slightly when cups are shaken gently), about 30 minutes. Remove custards from water. Cool on rack. Chill until cold, about 4 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; keep chilled.)
For topping:
Beat whipping cream and sugar in medium bowl until soft peaks form. Place dollop of whipped cream atop each pot de crème and serve.

one of the most popular bento's on the island the problem is they run out of their awesome bento's before 10am. i Love it there.
Its so good it sells out early. The price is right, and you get lots to eat! The sushi is ono, the tofu patty is unique to the islands - a must try!
I was first introduced to K's many years ago when I volunteered at one of the public schools in Waipahu and was treated to K's bento which consisted of fried chicken, hash, tofu patty, 1/2 hot dog, musubi and two sushi. For $6 you just can't go wrong, but don't expect too much for that price. This is a take-out...
Great place to pick up bentos. They are open early in the morning and sold out by 10 a.m.

Red mullet
|This article should be divided into sections by topic, to make it more accessible. (September 2014)
The red mullets or surmullets are two species of goatfish, Mullus barbatus and Mullus surmuletus, found in the Mediterranean Sea, east North Atlantic Ocean, and the Black Sea. Both "red mullet" and "surmullet" can also refer to the Mullidae in general.
Though they can easily be distinguished—M. surmuletus has a striped first dorsal fin—their common names overlap in many of the languages of the region. In English, M. surmuletus is sometimes called the striped red mullet.
They are both favored delicacies in the Mediterranean, and in antiquity were "one of the most famous and valued fish". They are very similar, and cooked in the same ways. M. surmuletus is perhaps somewhat more prized.[1] The ancient Romans reared them in ponds where they were attended and caressed by their owners, and taught to come to be fed at the sound of the voice or bell of the keeper. Specimens were sometimes sold for their weight in silver. Pliny cites a case in which a large sum was paid for a single fish, and an extraordinary expenditure of time was lavished upon these slow-learning pets. Juvenal and other satirists descanted upon the height to which the pursuit of this luxury was carried as a type of extravagance.[2] The statesman Titus Annius Milo, exiled to Marseille in 52 B.C., joked that he would have no regrets as long as he could eat the delicious red mullet of Marseille.
Despite the English name "red mullet", these fishes of the goatfish family Mullidae are not closely related to many other species called "mullet", which are members of the grey mullet family Mugilidae.
The word "surmullet" comes from the French, and ultimately probably from a Germanic root "sor" 'reddish brown'.[3]

Mullus is a subtropical marine genus of perciform fish of the family Mullidae (goatfish) and includes the red mullets, occurring mainly in the southwest Atlantic near the South American coast and in the Eastern Atlantic including the Mediterranean and the Black Sea.[2] These fish are bottom dwelling over sands and muds.

I just want to qualify my vote. I am all for an APUG magazine, but I voted for the Steve Anchell option. I didn't realize this was a literal option, I just wanted to vote for an option where someone with periodical experience could make sure everything went relatively smoothly. After reading Aggie's post about her previous experiences (not to mention the contacts we've got here on the board) I think we should really go for it! I was setting aside $5/paycheck to pay for my Photovision subscription, but after hearing what has happened I may just funnel that cash towards my credit card bill (don't ever make the mistake of living off credit cards). I wouldn't mind doing the same thing to pay for my apug subscription--it's how I was able to purchase one of Michael Smith's wonderful books. I have technical experience in the graphic arts using not just photoshop, but also pagemaker and the newer--and MUCH better--Adobe InDesign.
The idea of lower cost portfolios from a number of the people on the board to help give the magazine some financial stability is great too! I would love to contribute to the magazine at large, though I don't know what I could contribute. Maybe we could do a small series on personal darkrooms and then I could do a small piece on the one I'm building (and will hopefully have built by the time the mag is up and running). I like the idea ofa paper magazine, but also understand the proponents of the .pdf idea as the overhead would be very small. Maybe the idea of laserprinting the magazine could be looked at for the first issue or two, until the logistics have all been worked out. I think this is a great idea and I'm a big magazine/book guy. I've saving up for my Black and White Photography subscription right now (it's $70/year over here in the US)--hey, that's where my Photovision money can go
sorry for the rambling, I wasn't too sure where I was going with this when I started typing

Wamp blasts Haslam, predicts he'll win Shelby County
Two of the three Republican gubernatorial candidates hop-scotched across Tennessee Wednesday: Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam beginning the final full day of campaigning at a doughnut shop in East Memphis and U.S. Rep. Zach Wamp of Chattanooga ending it with an ice cream social five miles away.
The third GOP candidate, Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey, began his day 415 miles away, in Sevierville and ended it 500 miles away in his hometown of Blountville.
Inside a cramped Gibson's Donuts at 8 a.m., Haslam was presented with a giant doughnut with "Governor Bill Haslam" in icing. He and his Memphis-raised wife, Crissy, said they planned to be back in Shelby County campaigning on Monday for the November general election. Haslam said he has for some time "felt really good about" taking Shelby and West Tennessee.
"There's a unique chance for a governor to pull together Shelby County by focusing on some of the real emerging opportunities here," Haslam said. "I really do think the next governor has a chance to make a big difference in Shelby County."
Haslam expressed pride in a campaign that began in January 2009 when it was clear a long, difficult economic recession was taking hold.
"Nobody's outworked us," Haslam said. "We've been very consistent about our message in terms of being about jobs, education and the budget."
By lunchtime in Brentwood, before a boisterous crowd of supporters in 100-degree heat, Wamp was predicting he will win Shelby and the nomination.
"We're going to look back and say it was fortunate for me that (Dist. Atty. Gen.) Bill Gibbons decided not to proceed because I'm going to carry Shelby County.
"Today and tomorrow is going to make Day 63 and 64 for me in West Tennessee since this campaign began 19 months ago," Wamp said. "I made a connection with the people of West Tennessee on their future as their governor. It's been a long time since a governor gave a flip about West Tennessee. I'm going to do that."
Wamp, who is scheduled to attend a GOP unity rally with the two other candidates Saturday, charged that Haslam is a moderate surrounded by family and advisors who supported the last push for a state income tax.
"There's not much difference between Mike McWherter and Bill Haslam. Both of them are running on their daddy's fumes. They wouldn't even be in this game if it weren't for their fathers. They're both liberal to moderate on the issues. Both of their families have supported a state income tax in the past." McWherter is unopposed in today's Democratic primary.
Haslam and McWherter have flatly ruled out a state income tax, but Wamp, who himself has drawn criticism for federal spending earmarks and his vote for the TARP bailout, continues to insist they cannot be trusted on it.
Ramsey was last in Shelby on Monday -- a rare swing by him through the biggest concentration of GOP primary voters for his campaign. "I'm trying to do well in Shelby County," Ramsey said. "We will be reaching out through the media and of course (state Sen.) Mark Norris is helping me a lot down there, and four or five state representatives are helping me in Shelby County because it is important; there's no doubt about it."
Wamp got the final word with Shelby County voters in appearances with bluegrass legend Ricky Skaggs at Bellevue Baptist Church's "Awesome August" and later at a campaign rally at Al Chymia Shrine Temple.
A Wamp commercial airing this week appeals directly to voters who believe that, as Wamp puts it, "we must restore America to its Judeo-Christian heritage." He also makes a profession of faith in the commercial.
Recent Haslam commercials have touted his "conservative Tennessee values."
No direct partisan appeals were made at Bellevue, although the pastor, Steve Gaines, said to a congregation of thousands: "Can you fathom the courage it takes to run for office?"

If it's too easy to change a Constitution, then that Constitution becomes too vulterable to mob rule, or political fads of the day.
It SHOULD be hard, but it should be possible, ideally, when it really matters.

Video: Cops applauded for honesty after girl's arrest goes viral
Despite a hostile crowd, Hamilton (Ont.) officers stayed calm and addressed concerns on camera
By PoliceOne Staff
HAMILTON, Ontario — Cell phone video of two Hamilton cops arresting a woman for shoplifting has gone viral and has people applauding the officers' professional and patient response to the public.
Officers Mark Morelli and Chantelle Wilson attempted for several minutes to subdue a woman who screamed and thrashed about as onlookers gathered, questioning why the police were arresting her.
Once Morelli placed the woman in the back of his squad, he caught his breath and explained to the crowd why they took the actions they did.
"Unfortunately, she decided to try to resist arrest ... and while it may look and appear to be something much worse than it is, it is only because she is resisting so violently and flailing around on the ground," Morelli said. "I'm doing my best not to hurt that girl."
Though the man filming remained skeptical, the video hit YouTube under the name "Honest Cops," and the Hamilton police department received a huge wave of support.
"Thousands of emails and phone calls of support continue to pour into the Hamilton Police from all around the world," the force wrote on Facebook. "We're all committed as police officers to public safety. It's not always easy, but with support like this, it is a reminder that you care as much as we do."
Hamilton Police Chief Glenn De Caire said in a statement, "They maintained a calm response, using the appropriate use of force options during a stressful incident. Every day our officers deliver this type of excellence in policing when responding to hundreds of calls from our citizens."
Hamilton media relations officer Debbie McGreal-Dinning confirmed that the woman is currently facing criminal charges, according to the Hamilton Spectator, but could not elaborate, citing the service's policies against commenting on 'domestic incidents.'

Dating With Tinder
What It's Really Like To Date With Hookup Apps
For guys who love looking at pictures of girls in bikinis and frivolously casting a split-second judgment on them (guys like me, I mean), it came pretty close to being the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Well, for a week or so anyway.
Tinder is essentially a more relationship-centered, less meet-up-and-have-sex version of the wildest online dating sites, like Adult Friend Finder or any other hookup websites for that matter, yet a little more hookup-friendly than dating-focused sites like Plenty of Fish. Some might even say that Tinder is as good, if not better than the best dating sites out there today since you can make it work for you, no matter what you're looking for.
On Tinder, both men and women flip through Facebook pictures of the opposite or same sex, and gawk and gush before selecting a few pretty faces from the yearning masses. There's a short bio, age and mutual friends listed, but who's really paying attention to that stuff when your Tinder flame is wearing next to nothing on the beach?
If you're thinking about Tinder in a PG-13 sense, then, yeah, the two of you can "like" each other and have a conversation on the app. You can then go out for vintage Sauvignon Blanc, stroll along the East River and tell your friends how impressed you were when she started spouting off the principles of French Impressionism, but who really wants any of that?
Most guys I know are content looking at the cleavage shots, and in the case of a match, asking the girl if she wants to meet up and grab a beer. Let's be honest, they're looking for a casual encounter. After a casual date or two, they expect to get laid.
I expected the world from Tinder when I first started. I'd received a flood of screencaps from my friends of ridiculous conversations they'd had with scantily clad college girls.
It did, however, take me a few minutes to get used to the fact that I was, for better or worse, dating online. This unnerved me. Forever I'd boasted that I would never do online dating. I wasn't that desperate, and losers met girls online. Not me. No, no.
Dating with Tinder is sort of a loophole. It isn't really "dating," and the Facebook angle made me feel like I was just repurposing the ubiquitous social media site. On Tinder I could preserve my cooked-up desirability and masculinity while secretly praying that the smokin' young blonde would like me back.
More often than not, this wasn't the case, but in my first week on Tinder, I gained quite a few matches — 20 or so. Most I struck up charming conversations with, remarking on the gorgeous weather (it was 15 degrees that week) or making some bold, unfunny claim about their profile picture (I repeatedly asked a girl whose picture was her holding a baby why she listed her age at 23 when she wasn't a lick of 23 days old.) Stupid jokes, obviously. Many didn't respond, some did indifferently and others were very into it.
One girl in particular took well to my childish sense of humor. We were fast "friends" after I told her she looked "dangerous" in her profile picture, in which she was holding a prop gun on what looked like a film set. Now I realize what I said was probably flirtatious, though I just mentioned it idiotically, and out of a lack of other conversation starters.
For about a day or two, "Sheila" and I messaged quite a bit, which should have been a sign, considering after the initial match phase I could barely get other women to message me back at all.
Sheila was my age and spunky, very talkative and hardly bashful. She was, at least according to her pictures, curly-haired, Latina and seductive, with questioning eyes and a stern glance. I was into it, I thought.

eggs my friend, Jessica gave to me from her chickens after showing me every little living, giving and green corner of her garden. Manna - gifts of the larder and of the heart. We could live so well on this - I could. Today I will make potato salad and feed my Mum and a dear friend or two. One gift and it moves through many.
rhubarb to grow - so he gave us starts to plant this year, but they won't bear fruit for three years (they like to get well settled before sharing of themselves). Worried that we might be tempted to pick it anyways, he brought pounds and pounds of rhubarb stalks. I shared some with a handy neighbor, who made jam and gave some to me and Mum. Now I will make some rhubarb compote and share some with her and Mum. This might never come to a close - may it never come to a close.
