Caring for Your Dentures
Steps for Daily Denture Care
- Dentures are usually made of a plastic resin and sometimes they contain metal parts. They are delicate and may break easily if dropped even a short distance. When holding dentures to clean them, hold them over a folded towel or a basin full of water to protect them.
- Remove loose food particles from dentures by first rinsing them thoroughly in water. But remember, rinsing alone is not enough to clean your dentures.
- Moisten a soft-bristled brush, preferably one designed for cleaning dentures. Hard bristles will scratch your dentures.
- Apply denture cleanser (choose one with the American Dental Association seal of approval). If you do not have one available, you may even use a mild hand soap or dishwashing soap.
- Gently scrub all surfaces of your dentures to remove plaque, while taking care not to scratch the surface.
- Thoroughly rinse dentures, as traces of cleanser or soap may irritate your gums.
- Before placing dentures back in your mouth, brush your gums, the roof of your mouth, and your tongue with a separate soft brush to remove plaque and stimulate circulation. Rinse your mouth well.
- Unless your dentist recommends otherwise, remove your dentures overnight (6-8 hours) to allow your gums to rest. During this time, store dentures in water. This will keep them from drying out and losing their shape. Keep your dentures away from children and pets.
- Do not try to adjust dentures yourself by sanding, filing, or bending.
- An adhesive may be recommended when you first get them to improve stability. After that you may use adhesives once in a while as a temporary measure for old or poorly fitting dentures. Ask your dentist about your options and look for adhesives with the American Dental Association seal.
- Do not use hot or boiling water, bleach, or other abrasive household products or items. This will cause dentures to warp and/or discolor.
- Do not attempt to scrape the plaque or tartar off with a sharp instrument.
- You can use conventional toothpaste to scrub, but do so gently to avoid abrasion.
- You can use an ultrasonic cleaner to care for dentures. But be aware that using it does not replace daily brushing.
When to See Your Dentist
- Mouth sores
- Problems chewing food with your dentures
- Chronic cheek biting
- Cracks at the corners of your mouth
- Gums that begin to bleed easily
- Dentures that become loose in your mouth

Cardinals reliever Kyle McClellan says he will not need surgery on his sore right elbow. McClellan said Tuesday that a second opinion from noted orthopedist Dr. James Andrews confirmed an earlier diagnosis by team medical director Dr. George Paletta. McClellan said he received an injection of platelets in his arm designed to help speed the recovery. He said he believes he'll be able to begin throwing in six weeks and would like to return to the Cardinals in August. He went on the disabled last Friday with a strained ulnar collateral ligament and partly torn flexor muscle near his right elbow. He had pitched the previous day in San Francisco and left in the seventh inning. McClellan has a 5.30 ERA in 16 appearances.

On a paintball field at a luxurious vacation resort, a young man is stalked by something with a deep, low growl prowling through the undergrowth. And, finally, it leaps out. He thinks it's one of his friends playing a joke, but it is a creature of a ferocity beyond his wildest dreams. His screams echo through the wilderness.
Connor and Cutter show off the anomaly detector to a less-than-impressed Lester and Leek. A report comes in that there has been a creature attack, but the detector shows no sign of an anomaly, Cutter is puzzled by the detector's apparent failure, but he has no time to speculate as the team leaves to investigate.
Along the perimeter of the resort, the woods have been cordoned off by police investigating the paintballer attack. Valerie, the deputy manager of the resort, paces nervously. Jenny coaches her in what to tell the media, and Valerie is keen to evacuate the guests - but her management bosses will not let her. Cutter comes to the conclusion that the creature is some kind of large cat...

Yes we all know broken link building, but there are only few post in the internet that really shows how they use the link building tactic to build high quality links on a step-by-step process. So when I got this invitation from GDI to speak and share my knowledge to their community, I grabbed the chance and presented an easy to implement and actionable strategy that link builders can use – BLB, broken link building.
This was presented also to the Morcon 2014 – SEO Organization Philippines event.
What is a broken link?
A broken link is a link that can no longer be accessed or page that has moved. When you get 404 error messages and browser errors like page cannot be displayed, we can safely assume that the page is a broken link already.
Is BLB the right tactic for me?
BLB is a targeted link building tactic, one of the best link baiting that you can implement if you are passionate on link building. If you don't know how to implement it, you might end up wasting your money on the content that you produced and the time that you consumed doing linker outreach.
There is one specific rule you need to follow before jumping to BLB, that is Link Equity + Link Volume = Money Spent for the Content
Ask these questions first:
1. Do I have a good number of linking opportunities to make BLB work for me?
2. Can these link opportunities be acquired?
3. Do I have the resource to produce the content that linkers would love to link to?
4. How ready I am for the massive content promotion and outreach?
5. Am I ready to hustle?
If you answered 5 of 5 YES's to these questions, then proceed.
How do we use BLB to our own advantage?
1. Link List Suggestion – Find list of links or websites that is related to your niche and suggest your related content or website to the list.
2. Content Resource Suggestion – Look for resource pages and related links page, spot a broken link "404″ and suggest your content as a replacement for that broken link or offer a fix and suggest your content.
Check our deck on slideshare and learn how our process work:
How about content ideas?
1. Education related – This is an easy niche to use BLB, you can always research for good contents that specific people link to. How about teaching tools and resources? Set up an amazing page that showcase many of the best teaching tools that teachers can use and pitching the content to school websites who has broken link resources.
2. Mobile related – Create a content on bullying and it should be centered on mobile related cases. Research for bullying leading to suicide cases where mobile devices played its part. Add a content on fighting bullying for teachers and parents. Then pitch it to organizations who have listed resources on fighting bullying.
3. Health related – If it's health related, you can always go for addiction support groups. Correlate your content to these type of organizations, list them on your prospecting sheet and try to ask if they are interested on adding your content as a resource.
Please add your content idea on the comment section below! Or ask me for content ideas below.
Recommended Tools
Buzzstream – For outreach and campaign management, definitely one of the best tool that you can grab. Else root for outreach management in spreadsheet. See more on how Buzzstream can help in link building.

Video Game for the PC, XBox 360, and PS3
The Last Remnant is a Japanese role-playing game developed and published by Square Enix. The game is directed at both Japanese and Western audiences and had a simultaneous release in Japan, North America and Europe, on November 20, 2008 … see full wiki
Square is content with building the drama for the highly anticipated release of the new Final Fantasy game and in the meantime they've released an adequate RPG to hold us over until that big day...so let's take a look at Square's appetizer, shall we?
The plot is typical RPG with Rush playing the lead...and while it does start fast, it progressively slows down after act 1 but we do get better acquainted with the rest of our party...so there is a point to it...and the game really takes off once you build your characters. Later in the game it really shines with an excitement that only Square can pull off. What did you expect when the hero's little sister was kidnapped?
Ah, the heart of the game. The main selling point for the battle system in The Last Remnant is its union system. Unions are made of (up to) five characters and you select their battle formation...the battle formation will determine your union's effectiveness. By utilizing a time shift (slow down time) you position Rush near which enemies you wish to encounter...resume a normal time flow and the battle ensues. There are greater rewards for linking more enemies in a battle...so keep this in mind. Now that we've engaged the enemy it's time to start the battle. The first thing you'll notice is that you don't have control over your characters...instead, a morale bar determines which type of orders you may issue to your union. Depending on which commands you issue, depends on how the battle goes. Do well, and more enemies will be defeated. Do poorly, and the more damage your union will take. This feature does have drawbacks as you won't always be allowed to choose the commands you'd like or the commands best suited for the situation...but it does allow for some advanced tactics when attacking the enemy. After the battle some monsters may be captured and used to create new weapons or sold for loot.
Graphics and sound:
The graphics aren't up to next gen standards but they'll suffice...load screens are rather painful to bear through and the game does suffer from slow downs...but unlike other games, The Last Remnant does make a great attempt at creating a vivid fantasy realm and a grand battle structure...which lead to the reasons for the slow downs...too much of a good thing, methinks? The music, on the other hand, is nothing short of amazing...and does a great job conveying the emotions of the game. The voice acting is a step down from the superior music but gets the job done.
Final Thoughts:
There are some flaws in The Last Remnant but those flaws can be over-looked. The biggest problem is the bar Square has set and this game falls a bit short of that bar, but they have created a game that will keep the gamer occupied until the day Final Fantasy XIII is released

The Verdict:
Great with a capital "G"
View Larger Map
Venturing south on U.S. 11 to Steele's Tavern and then taking the left onto Va. 56 east, it is less than a mile to Osceola Mill. This mill was once part of the Cyrus McCormick Farm and is one of the original seven that still stands today. The other remaining mill is upstream on Marl Creek, part of the McCormick farm property. Osceola Mill now operates as an inn and restaurant.
As we approached the large porch, we could see it offers room for al fresco dining in the warmer months. The interior of the building is cozy with its exposed beams and plank floors. Simple but elegantly appointed tables are in two dining areas. A plate of butter pats topped with rosemary and a side dollop of honey was already on our table. The warm, crispy bread we were enjoying this evening was from Newtown Bakery in Staunton and was a great addition to the evening's meal. We had to ask for a second basket to have with our entreés because the first one disappeared quickly.
For starters, we ordered the crab stuffed mushrooms ($6.95) and the Manhattan clam chowder ($3.25). The mushrooms were extra large and filled with crab meat that was not overly seasoned or filled with breading. Tonight's soup was full of great flavor. Manhattan clam chowder is different from New England chowder since it is not cream-based. The addition of tomato in the broth makes it Manhattan chowder.
My millstone filet ($27.95) was cooked a perfect medium rare, which is my preference, and extremely tender. It was topped with blue cheese and walnuts and was sitting amid a port wine reduction that tied these different flavors together. The plate was finished with roasted red potatoes and roasted asparagus spears. The scallops and shrimp aLa vodka ($19.95) was served over thin spaghetti in vodka sauce (it's pinkish in color and totally yummy) and topped with four large sea scallops and four large shrimp. Each dinner came with a choice of salad. One salad started with chilled, chopped romaine, sliced pear, blackberries and a scattering of candied pecans and poppy-seed dressing. The other salad was mixed greens with tomatoes, cucumbers, shaved pieces of Pecorino Romano and herb vinaigrette.
It was hard to choose from the many desserts offered which are all made in-house but we chose bourbon pecan pie and crème brulee. This pie slice was filled with chopped pecans, sweet filling infused with a touch of bourbon and covered on top with warm, melted chocolate, all in a crisp crust. The crème brulee was chilled, smooth as silk and had a crisp brown sugar top that cracked with each spoonful.
Between the great service and great food, this was an evening to remember. I understand that the water wheel will be working again soon, so this will be an added dimension to this fine dining experience in the country.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to video displays, and more particularly relates to the field of video display mounting systems for use in vehicles and the like.
2. Description of the Related Art
Video display screens have been used in vehicles such as automobiles, vans, van conversions, recreational vehicles, airplanes, trains, and the like, for providing information to the driver or entertainment to the passengers. Such video display screens can be connected to a video playback device such as a video cassette recorder (VCR) or digital video disc (DVD) player for entertainment. Video screens used with navigational systems are typically mounted on the dashboard and connected to a navigational computer for providing maps and other navigational information such as GPS data to the driver.
A number of mounting systems have been proposed to allow a display to be viewed when in use but stowed or otherwise protected when not in use. U.S. Pat. No. 5,316,369 issued to Kanda discloses a display screen mount having a hinge which allows the display screen to be folded into a cavity within the armrest when not in use. U.S. Pat. No. 5,222,780 issued to Reh et al. discloses an armrest having a plurality of telescopic trays and a screen mounted on a retractable arm and a slide track for stowing the screen into a cavity within the armrest. U.S. Pat. No. 5,374,104 issued to Moore et al. discloses a display mounted to a retractable arm that retracts into a cavity within the armrest. U.S. Pat. No. 4,982,996 issued to Vottero-Fin et al. discloses a video display that is mounted to the back wall of a lift-up armrest so that the screen can be viewed by passengers in the back seat of a vehicle. Additionally, video display screen have been mounted on the ceiling of the passenger compartment. There remains a need for a video screen that can be easily, simply, and inexpensively mounted, especially for after-market retrofitting and conversions.
The present invention provides an elegant and inexpensive solution to the problem of where and how to mount a video screen, particularly so that it can be viewed by persons in either the front seats or the rear seats, and particularly for after-market conversions. The display can be quickly deployed and then covered up again for protection against incidental damage and theft. A flat panel display screen is mounted within a matching cut-out of the driver side armrest which is often also the lid to a container in different types of vehicles. The display is rotatably mounted so that it can rotate or "flip" at least approximately 180 degrees relative to the armrest, so that with a fast and simple motion the screen can be made available for viewing by front seat passengers and returned again to a protected non-viewing or stowed position. The rear surface of the display screen is provided with a finish similar to the finish on the top surface of the armrest, so that when the display is flipped to its non-viewing position the existence of the display is not obvious to the casual observer or potential thief looking into the vehicle. The armrest is pivotally mounted so that it can be raised to an upright position and locked in that position, thus allowing rear seat passengers to view the display. The armrest may also contain a telescoping section so that the display screen can be raised even higher up for optimal viewing by passengers in the rear seat. Because the display can be viewed by either front seat or rear seat passengers, the display can be used to present either navigational information or entertainment information. Container lids which function as driver armrests in recreational vehicles and the like are often hinged at the rear. In one embodiment therefore, the display and mount can be implemented as a combination after-market lid and inlaid video screen which can be inexpensively pre-assembled in a shop or factory as a unit, and then quickly installed into a vehicle by simply replacing the stock container lid on the stock container with the combined after-market lid and display assembly. In another embodiment the stock container and lid can be quickly replaced with a pre-assembled replacement container and lid which incorporates the video screen and which matches the footprint of the stock container.
As additional features, the display can be controlled so that entertainment information may be viewed upright by passengers in the rear seat of the vehicle, and navigational information can be displayed on the screen rotated �90 degrees in either direction for convenient viewing by either the driver or front seat passenger. The display can be mounted to rotate about an axis that is generally parallel to the armrest, and either longitudinal to the armrest or transverse to the armrest, or both. In this way the display can be tilted for improved viewing by any person within the vehicle.
The above-described objects of the present invention and other features and benefits of the present invention will become clear to those skilled in the art when read in conjunction with the following detailed description of a preferred illustrative embodiment and viewed in conjunction with the attached drawings.
A detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the invention will be made with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which like numbers refer to like parts.
FIG. 1 is a front view of the front seat of a vehicle equipped with the video screen of the present invention, when the video screen is in its raised and extended position.
FIG. 2 is a top view showing the position of the video screen within a vehicle.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the container/armrest with a video screen mounted in the lid/armrest according to the present invention, with the container lid in the closed position.
FIG. 4 is a side elevation view of the video screen in the raised position and illustrating the rotation of the video screen within the container lid/armrest.
FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a container with the video screen mounted into the armrest/lid of the container, with the video screen in the raised position.
FIG. 6 is a close up view of the video screen mounted into a container lid/armrest.
In many vehicles such as vans, min-vans, van conversions, recreational vehicles, and even some smaller passenger vehicles, a container is provided between the two front seats. Depending on the size of the vehicle and the size of the container, the container may be adapted and/or used for holding coins, sunglasses, cassette tapes, and the like. A lid to the container is commonly attached to the rest of the container by a hinge attachment located toward the rear of the vehicle, so that the lid pivots upwardly to reveal the objects stored within the container. The container lid typically also functions as an armrest for the driver and/or the front seat passenger. In the following description, for convenience of discussion the invention will be described with reference to a container lid or armrest disposed between the front seats because the invention is particularly well suited for that embodiment. It will be understood, however, that various embodiments of the invention can be used in conjunction with many different types of armrests, container lids, or other types of pivoting structures that might be mounted within a vehicle. Such structures include, for example, a special pivoting arm mounted within the vehicle specifically for mounting according to the teachings of the present invention, a glove compartment lid, or the like. In the discussion and claims that follow, for convenience the term "armrest" will be used to mean both an armrest that functions as an armrest whether or not it is also a lid or cover to a container, as well as a cover or a lid to a container whether or not it is well suited or positioned for people to rest their arms thereon. The terms "container lid" or "container cover," however, will be used in their normal senses. Additionally, the term "vehicle" will be in a broad sense to encompass both automobiles and other forms of motorized transport.
FIG. 1 shows the front seat of a vehicle with a container 10 and an armrest 12 covering the container, with a video screen mounted in the armrest. FIG. 2 shows the position of the container 10 and armrest 12 in an exemplary vehicle. When the armrest is raised to a substantially vertical position, the video screen is also raised so that it can be viewed by passengers in the rear seat. More generally, the video screen can be viewed by at least a first person in a first location when the armrest is in its lowered position, and may be viewed by a second person in a second location when the armrest is in its raised position.
FIG. 3 shows just the container 10, with the video display screen 14 mounted into a cut-out region or aperture of the body of armrest 12. Display screen 14 is preferably a flat panel display such as a color liquid crystal display (LCD) panel. Armrest 12 is mounted to the body of the container by a hinge 16 at the rear of the container. The container may be locked closed via a security lock, such as key lock 18. A pair of pivots 20 holds the display within the cut-out region of the armrest. The operation of the pivots is shown more clearly in FIG. 4.
FIG. 4 shows the armrest in its raised and substantially vertical position, with display 14 being pivoted or rotated about the two pivots 20. The front or viewing side 22 of the display contains the display screen itself. The backside or non-viewing side 24 of the display has a contour and finish that matches the finish on the top surface of the armrest, so that when the display is rotated so that the display screen faces inward toward the container cavity, i.e., the display screen is in its non-viewing position, the outward facing non-viewing side 24 visually blends with the rest of the top surface 26 of armrest 12. This makes the existence of display 14 within armrest 12 more difficult to detect to a casual observer or potential thief, thus providing some measure of protection against theft when the display is in its non-viewing position and the armrest is in its lowered position. In that position the display screen and any associated controls are also protected against incidental damage. The display may be mechanically locked or tightened so that it stays in the rotational position it is placed in, or so that it will only rotate when torque is intentionally applied to deliberately rotate the device. Display 14 may also be locked in the non-viewing position by a mechanical lock such as a latch operated by a mechanical release accessible from the underside of the armrest or by a security lock so that it cannot be rotated from that position, thus providing a measure of security against theft when the armrest is down and locked in that position to the body of the container by operation of key lock 18.
Alternatively, the display could be rigidly mounted within the armrest, and covered up by a cover which slides out from within the armrest and over the display. Still further, a separate display cover could be provided that mechanically engages the armrest. As a security feature, the separate cover could be released only by operating a release mechanism located on the underside of the armrest, which itself can be locked in the down position via key lock 18.
As shown in the figure, the display is pivotally mounted so as to rotate about an axis that is substantially parallel to the plane of the armrest's upper surface and is transverse to the vehicle. This allows passengers in the rear seat to tilt the display either up or down for easier viewing. Alternatively, the display could be pivotally mounted so as to rotate about an axis that is longitudinal to the vehicle. In that way, when the armrest is down and the display is in its viewing position the display could be tilted up or down for best viewing by the driver, or could be tilted for best viewing by the passenger. Still further, the display could be fully gimbaled so as to pivot about both the longitudinal and the transverse axes so as to accommodate any viewing angle. The display is said to be substantially parallel to the plane of the armrest's upper surface because the armrest is often curved and therefore does not define an exact plane, and some offset from the nominal plane would still be within the scope of the invention.
As can be seen in the figure, screen 14 easily rotates or "flips" about pivots 20 without the screen being spacially displaced during such rotation. When armrest 12 is in its down position, flipping screen 14 through approximately 180 degrees of rotation changes the screen from presenting viewing side 22 to the viewer, to presenting non-viewing side 24 to the viewer. Thus, when the armrest is in its down position, the viewer can easily change the screen from its stored position to its viewing position simply by flipping the screen through approximately 180 degrees or a half turn about a substantially horizontal axis in place. By allowing the screen to be flipped 180 degrees in place, the current invention eliminates the need for a viewer to operate an articulating arm as with certain prior art devices, or otherwise substantially spacially displacing the screen in order to stow or deploy the screen.
FIG. 5 shows the container and armrest with the armrest 12 raised to a nearly vertical position for viewing by persons sitting behind the container, e.g., by rear seat passengers. The armrest also telescopes via telescoping extensions 28 so that the screen can be elevated vertically higher than merely raising the armrest alone would elevate it. This allows passengers sitting in the rear seat to adjust the height of the display to a desired height. Armrest 12 can be mechanically locked in the upright position to prevent it from falling down while the screen is being viewed by rear seat passengers. The locking mechanism can be any one of many well known types of mechanical locking devices. The armrest or container body could be provided with a brace that engages the other of the armrest or container body to brace armrest 12 in its raised position to protect against damage from accidental application of force to armrest 12 while it is locked in its raised position.
As will now be apparent, the display can be viewed by persons seated in the front seat when the armrest is in its down position, and can be viewed by passengers seated in the rear 5 seat when the armrest is in its raised position. Accordingly, a variety of devices can be operatively connected to the screen for display of information that will be useful or desirable for either the driver or for passengers in the front or rear seats. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 1 the video screen may be connected to an audiovisual playback entertainment device 40 for playing back audiovisual content from a pre-recorded medium, a navigational device 42 such as a GPS computer and/or map reader, and a wireless Internet connection device 44 so that a user may browse the Internet or read and send emails using the display. The display could be connected to virtually any other type of device which uses a display including digital messaging devices, game players, and even a general purpose computer which could be carried or mounted within the vehicle. A hardware or software switch could be used to select which of the devices will be operatively connected to and will control the display at any given moment. In this way the device can be quickly and conveniently switched between uses. For example, although the passengers in the rear seat may be viewing a video cassette with the armrest in the up position, the driver might need to momentarily view updated navigational information. To accommodate this the armrest can be moved to its downward position and the display quickly changed at the press of a button to display the navigational information needed by the driver. Once the driver has obtained the needed navigational information, the armrest can be restored to its raised position and the display switched back to displaying the video cassette.
In the mounting position shown in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the persons seated in the front seat must view the screen at least partially off to their sides rather than directly in front of them. Some persons sitting in the front seat may find it easier to read or view the display if the information on the display is rotated a quarter of a turn, e.g., approximately ninety degrees relative to the display frame, such that top-to-bottom orientation of the displayed information is oriented along a transverse axis of the vehicle. For this reason the display may be equipped with a control button or control switch and control electronics for rotating the displayed information approximately +90 degrees, 0 degrees, or 90 degrees, relative to the display frame or to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. Although rotating the displayed information on the screen may be helpful to accommodate use by both rear seat passengers and front seat occupants, such rotation is not necessary.
FIG. 6 is a partial top view of the armrest 12 and display screen 14 inset therein, showing the display in greater detail. The display may include a display frame 30 having a number of display controls, including a remote control receiver 32 for receiving display command signals sent by a remote control transmitter, and/or a plurality of front panel controls 34 for controlling the display. The controls may include controls for adjusting the display characteristics such as brightness and contrast, for rotating the displayed information relative to the display frame, and for selecting between sources, for example between the output of a DVD player and the output from a navigational computer. Alternatively the display controls could be mounted on the body of armrest 12. Power video signals, and other signals may be supplied to the display either by a flexible wiring harness, a jack which plugs directly into the display, or through a slip ring arrangement.
The present invention may be used with nearly any device requiring or incorporating a display screen. As illustrative but non-exhaustive examples, the present invention could be used with a computer to function as a computer monitor. The display could be connected to a wireless Internet appliance, a browser-enabled computer, or a wireless telephone to provide mobile Internet access including email capability. The display could be connected to a video game processor to allow video games to be played on the display. The display could function as a digital pager or other messaging device. As electronics become more miniaturized, the display could contain general purpose or dedicated computers within the display frame itself, and could receive keyboard, joystick, mouse, track ball, or other inputs via the remote control receiver or through the wiring harness to accommodate an almost limitless number of display enabled devices in the future. All such present and future uses of a display screen, and combinations of uses, are contemplated as being within the scope and application of the present invention.
In another embodiment, the display is rigidly rather than rotatably mounted to the top surface of the pivoting armrest or container lid. In this embodiment the display can still be viewed by persons either in the front seat or the rear seat according to whether the armrest is in its raised or in its lowered position.
Although the present invention has thus been described in detail with regard to the preferred embodiments and drawings thereof, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that various adaptations and modifications of the present invention may be accomplished without departing from the spirit and the scope of the invention. Accordingly, it is to be understood that the detailed description and the accompanying drawings as set forth hereinabove are not intended to limit the breadth of the present invention, which should be inferred only from the following claims and their appropriately construed legal equivalents. In the following claims, those claims which contain the words "means for" are intended to be interpreted in accordance with 35 U.S.C. �112, paragraph 6; those claims which do not include the words "means for" are intended to not be interpreted in accordance with 35 U.S.C. �112, paragraph 6.

The Maryland Chapter of the Sierra Club supports increasing the amount of clean renewable energy used in Maryland as an alternative to burning coal, other fossil fuels, and other products for electrical energy generation.
For the 2014 legislative session, we support HB 1149/SB 733 to increase the Renwable Portfolio Standard from 20% to 40%.
A recent MIT study (1) showed that electrical energy generation causes 52,000 premature deaths, as well as disease, in the United States. The mid-Atlantic region is the epicenter of this harm. Baltimore has the highest emissions-related mortality rate in the nation, with 130 out of every 100,000 residents likely to die prematurely in a given year due to long-term exposure to air pollution. Clean renewable energy, such as wind and solar, does not have these harmful emissions.
Forty percent clean energy in Maryland will mean more jobs for Marylanders and less climate pollution –- like taking 1.4 million cars off of the road. Other jurisdictions plan to get to 40%, Hawaii (2) by 2030 and Maine (3) by 2017. Denmark gets 20% of its energy from off-shore wind now and plans to raise that to 50% by 2020 (4).
The equation for RPS is simply renewable energy used divided by total energy used. We need to increase the RPS by lowering the denominator of total energy used.
- We can increase EmPOWER savings from 15% to 30%, using innovative technologies to stop wasting energy. A 2009 McKinsey study (5) showed that business-wise investments (even without incentives) would lower energy use by 23% by 2020.
- With LED lighting and other technologies that have come about since the McKinsey report was issued in 2009, we can do even better. Los Angeles reduced its street lighting energy use by 63.1% by switching to LED technology (6).
Maryland also has enormous potential for clean renewable energy.
- Maryland's offshore wind resources are vast as shown by National Renewable Energy. The Atlantic seabed off Maryland's coast is relatively shallow, thus being more accommodating to wind and solar resources. The initial wind resources authorized for development by the Off Shore Wind Act of 2013 will only begin to tap this clean renewable energy source.
- Solar energy costs continue to plummet as solar energy installations increase. Prices have decreased by 80% since 2008. Adopting community-based clean energy per HB 1192/SB 786 this year would greatly expand our use of this clean and abundant resource.
- These clean renewable energy sources would be available around the clock through existing and emerging energy storage technologies, such as ice thermal storage (7), flow batteries (8), compressed air storage, and liquid metal batteries (9).

Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package.

- Product Code: TPG-99246
- UPC Code: 705105992464
- Package Quantity: 1.7 oz (50 ml)
- Dimensions: 2.6 x 2.6 x 6.1 in, 0.3 lbs (0.14 kg)
Product Overview
- Uncompromised Quality
- Guaranteed Purity
- Guarantor of Superlative Purity
- For Ultra-Dry Skin
Pure Guild Hair Growth Treatment sets the new benchmark for molecular purity in topical treatments:
- Pure Guild extracts pristine compounds mechanically, using no industrial solvents or damaging heat.
- Pure Guild incorporates only the active ingredients proven most effective in rigorous clinical trials.
This formualtion utilizes ultra-high-purity Pichia Anomala extract, subjected to rigorous clinical testing.
Pristine Mechanical Extraction
Active ingredients in Pure Guild Moisturizing Treatment maintain their molecular integrity and full spectrum of biological activities because no solvents are used and no heat is applied to extract them.
Pure Guild employs only gentle mechanical compression over time to render highly effective compounds from potent raw materials. Although costly, this process yields a superior molecule, while other organic brands use chemical solvents like hexane or ether, which adulterate the final product, and heat distillation, which diminishes therapeutic properties.
Super-premium Pure Guild cosmeceuticals contain no sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, or other detergents. They are strictly hypoallergenic and non-irritating. They are never tested on animals.
Pure Guild is the Standard of Purity by Which Other Products Are Measured.
Breaking Science for Ultra -Dry Skin
While common moisturizers dissipate quickly, highly advanced Pure Guild Moisturizing Treatment strengthens and rebuilds the barrier function of the stratum corneum to retain innate moisture and resist environmental assault. Pure Guild achieves such intense moisturization over such a long period of time because its active ingredient, Pichia anomala extract, stimulates lamellar-lipid transport, synthesis, and maturation within the epidermis.
- Pichia anomala recruits exogenous lipids into the keratinocytes, as demonstrated by a 33-percent increase in fatty-acid transport proteins.
- Inside cells, the extract stimulates lipid synthesis measured as a 25-percent increase in the expression of lamellar-body proteins.
- For optimum cutaneous integrity, the extract stimulates formation of lipid lamellae to seal the intercellular spaces of the cornified layer, as indicated by a 38-percent boost in key enzyme activity.
Reinforcing the barrier function at the cellular level means Pure Guild Extreme Moisturizing Treatment truly controls transdermal water loss to retain natural moisture, so skin always looks and feels young and healthy.
Suggested Use
After washing with a high quality cleanser gently pat dry and apply a pea sized amount on the entire face avoiding the eye area twice per day. Morning application should be followed with a sunscreen.
Other Ingredients
Primary Ingredient: Pichia anomala extract
Inactive Ingredient: Deionized water, gum trangacanth, xanthan gum, glycerol (vegetable origin), prunus amygdalus dulcis oil, anthemis nobilis flower extract, vegetable oil, arachidyl alcohol, behenyl alcohol, arachidylglucoside, cetyl ester, c20-c22 alkyl phosphate, phenoxyethanol.
No animal testing

San Francisco, California (PRWEB) July 28, 2014
The global market for eyewear is expected to reach USD 142.18 billion by 2020, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Expanding wearer base coupled with increasing penetration of eyewear for vision correction is expected to fuel market growth over the next six years. A large percentage of the population in rural areas of developing markets does not have access to eye care facilities and services, which represents considerable untapped market potential for industry participants.
Early entry of children into the corrective eyewear space as well as aging population is expected to positively impact demand on a global level. Growing urbanization and disposable income, along with awareness regarding the need for protecting the eyes against UV rays has led to high demand for plano sunglasses. Acceptance of alternative methods of vision correction including refractive surgeries such as LASIK and PRK are estimated to restrain market growth over the forecast period.
The report "Eyewear Market Analysis And Segment Forecasts To 2020," is available now to Grand View Research customers at http://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/eyewear-industry.

If there is no Warrior in the party I will try my best to be a tank.
I find people that think a palla is a primary healer do not know how quick we can run out of manna the rest of the team need to keep an eye on the pala's manna and if they are acting as primary healer they need to fall backl to protect him.
Paladins are best for support, and shaman fill a similar role. Even if they can't spam damage, SoC HURTS when it procs. I've never rolled one and I've not spent much time with Alliance, but I know in battlegrounds paladins who know their role are dangerous. Being a warrior I must learn my enemy
Going against two paladins who heal in WG is a frikkin' nightmare.

Get an alert when we add new styles of Asics! Simply sign up and we'll notify you.
In 1949 Kihachiro Onitsuka was manufacturing basketball shoes in his living room. Little did he know that he would eventually have created a world-renowned brand for runners and other athletes looking for quality and comfort. ASICS™ is an acronym for the Latin phrase "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano", which translates to "A sound mind in a sound body." And that is exactly what Asics is striving for.
To create top-performing running apparel, running shoes and other running necessities, Asics opened the Research Institute of Sports Science. In Kobe, Japan, this site is where technology and innovation go hand-in-hand to create breakthroughs in running clothes and running shoes. With over 45,000 square feet of space for testing, Asics studies everything from the movements of the human body to the durability of their running gear with a 350m all-weather running track.
When it comes to quality and "what's best for the body", Asics goes above and beyond. When Asics athletes visit the facility, Asics creates tailor-made running clothes and shoes that work with that athlete's body. From this research, Asics is able to enhance the running clothes and running shoes that they create for all athletes. Asics takes every opportunity to better their running clothes, so the athletes can better themselves.

Heroku Changelog Platform API list endpoints now support ordering on fields other than ID
List endpoints in the platform API (for example,
GET /apps) now support ordering via the

Furthermore, referring to the

"I went around the jail and explained to everyone what I wanted to do and started collecting money," Muller said. "It wasn't long before I had about $850 and with that money, I got those kids whatever they asked for."
The generosity from his co-workers has increased year after years, said Muller, with this year being the best ever. In September, Muller and his co-workers hosted Santa's Holiday Express, a first annual motorcycle ride and barbecue, to raise money for Holiday Cares.
"It was great. We raised about $3,500," said Muller.
That amount is important, he said, as the correctional facility's employees now help other schools during the holidays in addition to Beekmantown.
"We've helped the elementary schools in Keeseville, Saranac, [Northern Adirondack]. We're helping [Momot] this year," said Muller. "We help about 15-20 kids per school. But, we always do Beekmantown, where we started."
Kelting said Muller has "gone above and beyond" to spread the word about Holiday Cares and to raise money for the program. "Mr. Muller's contributions have always been extremely generous," said Kelting. "Without Mr. Muller's contribution, we would not be able to provide such an array of gifts for each family. "
"He has fostered the spirit that it is better to give than to receive," she added.
This year's collection has been overwhelming, said Kelting, who noted the program aims to help 17 families this Christmas. Already, in addition to Muller and his co-workers, businesses like Wal-Mart, Sam's Club and Cumberland 12 Cinemas have stepped up to provide donations.
That kind of support is something that will make a world of difference in a child's life, said Kelting.
"The reason we do this year after year, is because of the great satisfaction it brings to help those in need," she said. "[And] to see a child come back from vacation with a new coat and warm boots with their eyes twinkling all excited to tell you about what a great Christmas they had makes it all worth while."

Carspotters' Challenge #124: The Driver (1978)
Being that Truck Lust theme had more to give than expected, it made sense that the Carspotters' Challenge was to be truck-related. I could've just looked up a truck-heavy picture, but a scene used on an Internet music video that I saw a couple of years ago came back to me: the final chase scene from 1978's cult classic The Driver. In it, we find two drivers-for-hire and their passengers: one drives a hot-rodded 1976 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, a great period getaway vehicle. The other? A 1973 Chevrolet C-10 pick-up truck -the type of rig that's highly thought of and has been written about- driven by the movie's anti-hero.
There's no shortage of videos showing that particular chase scene. I could've taken any of those over the synth-laden one, but chose not to because a) to avoid spoilers if you haven't watched it, b) avoid any trouble with the violence scenes that come afterwards and c) this is the video that motivated me to watch The Driver, which is one very cool movie, alright.
In case you were wondering, the song is called Highway Knight, from the artist Kick Puncher. The song and artist are just one of the many contemporary examples that follow the retro sounds of 1980's synth music.
So as the C-10 chases down the Firebird, what else are they avoiding to hit as they barrel down the streets of late-1970's L.A.?
