The field of this invention relates to a fluid dispenser for use with liquid soap, shampoo, conditioner and other personal hygiene liquids.
The convenience of liquid personal hygiene products, such as soap, shampoo, hair tonic, skin cream, hair conditioner, and baby oil is known and many types of dispensers have been developed to accommodate personal hygiene liquids. While these personal hygiene liquids are often used with simple gravity fed valve dispensers, the viscosity of many of these products prevents a satisfactorily adequate flow from the container. As a consequence, plunger type pumps that forcefully discharge the liquid under pressure have been developed. These plunger type pumps are used with a one way check valve. The check valve allows liquid from the dispenser container to flow into the valve cylinder upon each return stroke of the plunger but prevents liquid from backing up into the dispenser container during the plunger actuation stroke such that the liquid is then forced out through a discharge nozzle.
These valves push the personal hygiene liquids out with each stroke. It has been recently found that a flexible skirt functions well on the plunger head to allow liquid to pass by the plunger head when the valve is pushed. The skirt flexes radially inward to allow the liquid to flow around the inwardly flexed skirt as the skirt plunges forward. During the return stroke, the skirt reassumes its radially outer position with its periphery abutting the wall of the delivery cylinder such that the skirt pushes the liquid out to the outlet. It has also been found that if the skirt is forced radially outwardly during rest, its outer periphery can function as a seal against the cylinder wall to prevent undesirable leakage of liquid out from the nozzle.
The positive pressure to push the skirt outward 14 is particularly helpful if the cylindrical bore due to manufacturing tolerances is slightly out of true round. In this situation, the skirt is biased outwardly as needed until it abuts completely to the cylindrical wall. If the skirt does not retain its resiliency or is not biased outwardly, the operation of the valve can be detrimentally affected during the return stroke and may cause leakage.
A common set up for these plungers is to have the supply container on top, the plunger and delivery cylinder horizontally disposed and situated below the container, and a downward facing outlet nozzle. The outlet nozzle is often axially displaced forwardly from the inlet connected to the container to provide a more convenient location for the discharge of the liquid. This setup is particularly useful where the dispenser is mounted on a wall and the push button of the plunger faces the user so that the discharge outlet is spaced a sufficient distance from the wall to allow a person's hand to be situated fully under the discharge nozzle in order to receive the soap.
In this setup, the inlet from the container to the valve cylinder is axially spaced from the discharge outlet a significant amount. It has been desirable to seat the plunger head close to the inlet such that when the plunger head is actuated, it moves under the inlet to provide flow to the discharge outlet. Consequently, the valve seat for stopping the plunger head at its biased rest position is significantly spaced from the front axial end of the valve cylinder. While prongs may extend from a cap to form a seat for the skirt of the valve, the prongs may be prone to breakage due to lack of support of their distal ends.
What is needed is a durable plunger driven liquid dispenser that has the plunger skirt seated on a durable annular seat that forces the skirt outwardly to seal against the cylinder wall such that the nozzle is sealed against leakage when not in use.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, a liquid dispenser valve includes a housing having an inlet port connectable to a supply container, a cylinder sized to receive a plunger head, and a discharge nozzle axially positioned forwardly in the cylinder. A check valve is mounted in the inlet port to restrict the flow of liquid upstream out of the inlet port. A plunger is mounted for forward and rearward axial movement in the cylinder. A return spring is interposed between the plunger and a closed axial end of the cylinder. The return spring resiliently biases and moves the plunger forwardly for a return stroke to a first axial position between the inlet port and the discharge outlet but allows a stroking motion of the plunger to a rearward second axial position away from the discharge outlet.
The plunger has a head with a flexible periphery commonly referred to as a skirt that when resting in the first axial position abuts against the cylinder wall to form a seal against leakage of liquid from the container to the discharge nozzle. When the plunger is pushed rearwardly to the second position, the skirt is flexed inwardly to allow liquid to flow by the plunger head and flow from the inlet port to the discharge spout. To accomplish this function, the flexible skirt has a cant that is defined as radially outward and axially forward. The plunger has a plunger rod connected to the head that extends out of a front end of the cylinder and attachable to a push button for manual operation of the plunger.
A closure cap is removably connected to a front end of the housing and about the plunger rod. The closure cap has seals interposed between itself, the cylinder wall, and the plunger rod. An annular seat is mounted in the cylinder for abutting an inner wall of the skirt when the plunger head is in the first axial position. The seat is annular to provide for structural support of the seat. The seat biases the flexible skirt outwardly such that the skirt abuts the cylinder wall and forms a seal within the cylinder to prevent fluid from passing to the discharge nozzle when the plunger rests in the first axial position. The seat surface of the annular seat has a notch therein that allows liquid on the downstream side of the skirt to flow from between the skirt and seat surface to the nozzle. Desirably the seat surface is tapered such that its distal end is assured to abut against the inner surface of the skirt to press the outer skirt wall to bear against the wall of the cylinder. As such, the seat surface is also canted to extend radially outward and axially forward. Desirably, the seat is affixed to or is formed as part of the closure cap.
In a dispenser built in this fashion, an expeditiously constructed seat provides support for adequately seating the skirt of the plunger head for sealing against the cylinder wall when the dispenser is not in use.
Reference now is made to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view illustrating a dispenser container and dispenser valve assembly in accordance with an embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2 is an exploded rear perspective view of the dispenser valve shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a side elevational and segmented view of the dispenser valve shown in FIG. 2 with the valve in the rest or unused position;
FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 3 with the dispenser valve shown in the intermediate position during an actuation stroke;
FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 3 with the dispenser valve shown in the fully pressed position;
FIG. 6 is an enlarged side elevational view of the valve seat and spacer member shown in FIG. 2;
FIG. 7 is a rear elevational view of the sleeve and space member shown in FIG. 6; and
FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along lines 8--8 shown in FIG. 7.
Referring now to FIG. 1, a liquid dispenser assembly 10 includes a container 14 connected to a dispenser valve 16. The container 14 may be directly mounted on a wall or be housed in a housing (not shown) with other identical dispenser assemblies 10. The container 14 is preferably made from a transparent plastic to allow for easy visualization of the amount of liquid in the container 14. The top has a refill aperture 38 that snap fits a plastic cap 40 that has a small air aperture 42 therethrough. The container 14 also has a small embossed side window 44. The bottom of the container has an outlet neck portion 48 that is adhered to a inlet port 50 of valve body 46. Such adherence may be formed by an adhesive glue.
As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, the valve body 46 has the inlet port 50 axially spaced from the discharge spout 34. The port 50 and spout 34 are connected via a cylinder bore 52 with an inner wall 54. The bore has a closed rear end 56 and an open front end 58.
A plunger 60 has a head 62 with a flexible periphery hereinafter referred to as a skirt 64 connected to a plunger rod 66. The flexible head 62 is sized to have its skirt 64, when in a rest position to abut the cylindrical wall 54 as shown in FIG. 3. The skirt is generally canted to extend both radially outward and axially forward. A return spring 68 is interposed between the head 62 and the closed end 56 for biasing the plunger 60 to the position shown in FIG. 3.
A cap assembly 70 has a seat and spacer member 72 that provides a stop for the plunger. The cap assembly seals the open outer end 58 of valve and has a central bore 71 that allows the rod 66 to extend through the cap assembly 70 and out of the valve body 46.
Referring now to FIGS. 3 and 6,the seat and spacer member 72 has an internal seat 76 that seats o-ring 78 for sealing the seat and spacer member with the rod 66. The seat and spacer member also has an external circumferential groove 79 that seats external o-ring 80. The o-ring 80 seals the seat and spacer member with the wall 54. As labeled in FIG. 4, the seat and spacer member 72 has tabs 82 outboard of the o-ring groove 79. The tabs 82 that snap fit into apertures 84 to retain the cap assembly 70 in place against normal forces encountered from actuation of the rod 66 and bias from the return spring 68. The seat and spacer member 72 has a lip 75 that snap fits into a cap cover 86 to retain the internal o-ring 78 in place. Operating button 15 is attached to the front end of rod 66.
The seat and spacer member 72 includes an annular seat 85 for engaging the skirt. The axially inner end of the seat 85 has a tapered surface 88 that has its distal tip 87 abutting an inner surface 89 of the flexible skirt 64. The tapered seat surface 88 conforms to push and seat the flexible skirt against the cylinder wall 54 such that the skirt forms a seal against the cylindrical wall 54 when the skirt is in the seated and rest position shown in FIG. 3, In other words, the surface 88 is also generally canted to extend both radially outwardly and axially forward. The surface 88 has at least one recessed notch 100 therein to promote flow of liquid from between the inner surface 89 of skirt and the tapered seat surface 88 to the central bore 71. A pair of apertures 74 passes through the annular seat 85 on opposing sides of the seat 85. The apertures 74 provide for better flow to discharge spout 34. The outer diameter of the annular seat 85 is less than the internal diameter of the cylinder bore 52 such that liquid can flow through the annular gap 102 formed between the annular seat 85 and the inner wall 54 of cylinder bore 52. The annular seat 85 has the appropriate axial length from groove 72 to properly position seat surface 88.
A check valve 90 is mounted in the inlet port 50 for restricting flow from the valve body 46 back to container 14. The check valve has a ball element 92 seated in a cage 94. The ball is normally in the position shown in FIG. 3 with the ball 92 in the open position that allows relatively unrestricted flow through the cage from seat 96 through lower outlet 98 and into valve body 46. The check valve also prevents substantial flow back into the container when the plunger is being pushed as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.
Initially when the button 15 is at rest, the spring 68 pushes the rod 66 forwardly to the position shown in FIG. 3 to force the flexible skirt 64 against the tapered seat surface 88 such that the skirt 64 forms a seal against the inner cylindrical wall 54. The seal closes off communication between the container and the discharge spout and prevents leakage from container 14 through discharge spout 34.
Operation of the dispenser is extremely convenient. The operator merely pushes button 15 when liquid is desired from discharge spout 34. Upon pressing the button shown in FIG. 4, the rise in pressure within the cylinder bore 52 forces the ball 92 upward against seat 96. Further pressing of the button, moves the plunger into the cylinder bore 52 which causes liquid in the rear section 101 of the cylinder bore 52 to flow by the plunger head 62 toward and out through to flow by the plunger head 62 toward and out through discharge spout 34. The flexible skirt also flexes radially inwardly to accommodate the passage of liquid by the plunger head 62. When the plunger head is pressed past the forward end 103 of inlet port 50 as shown in FIG. 5, the liquid can also pass by the top end of skirt along section 105 to be discharged through the spout 34. At the end of the stroke, the ball 90 drops back down as shown in FIG. 5.
Upon release of the button 15, the spring 68 pushes the plunger 62 forward thereby increasing the size of the rear section 101 of the bore 52 and the liquid from the container passes through the open inlet port 98 to refill the cylinder bore 52. The small air aperture 42 in the cap 40 of container 14 prevents a vacuum buildup within the container to maintain adequate liquid flow into the valve 16 from container 14 upon the return stroke of the plunger. The spring returns the plunger to the position shown in FIG. 3 and allows for immediate repeated actuation of the button 15.
The return stroke of the plunger head 62 also provides a wiping action of the inner cylinder bore 52 by the flexible skirt 64 of head 62. The wiping prevents any viscous fluid to remain in the bore 52 clinging to the wall and congealing thereon which would otherwise eventually render the valve mechanism useless. The cylinder bore 52 is refilled with fresh liquid from the container with each and every full stroke of the plunger. Furthermore, the wiping action provides that the liquid or fluid within the front section 107 of the cylinder bore 52 in front of the head 62 is pushed out through the discharge spout 34 during the return stroke.
The flexible skirt 64 virtually eliminates the possibility of excessive pressure being built up within the valve body. The faster the plunger is pushed, the more the skirt flexes radially inward providing a greater opening to the discharge spout which provides for a greater bypass flow from section 101 and out to the discharge spout 34.
The annular seat by pressing against the inner surface of the skirt assures that a complete seal between the skirt and the cylindrical wall. This seal occurs even if the cylindrical wall is due to manufacturing tolerances, out of round. This seal prevents leakage from the container 14 to the spout 34.
In this fashion, a durable and long lasting dispenser also provides leak free sealing of the liquid within the container and proper and easy dispensing of the liquid when desired. The dispenser is expeditiously constructed, easily operated and easily maintained.
Variations and modifications are possible without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.

O'PizzicatoOctober 13, 2013Italian • Bernolsheim, France
Tasty pizzas at affordable prices
60 industriual / heavy duty vehicles and a stock of bottled gas ..
Burger's on the menu seemingly everyday of the week and at some quite an affordable price on top of that.
Food's alright, no air conditioning though which makes quite hardcore a place to be at lunchtime on very hot summer days ..
Decent food. A reasonably wide selection of beers and the happy hours range from 15h30 to 20h00!
Definitely a nice place, they won't charge more than the other bars in the vicinity when it comes to a pint of decent refreshing ale.
Tu prends un dwich et deux bières tu payes 3.5€ .. Tu prends le même dwich et un seul power drink t'en payes 4 .. Qu'on nous traite pas d'Alcolo après hein? X'D
The closest Pizza Hut from the center of strasbourg, pretty close to a cemetery (wierdly enough ahight?) the UGC cinema and the local 'Wallmart' (Rivétoile)

BOLT is one of the artist residencies in Chicago. It is a one-year program that offers "the opportunity to engage the Chicago arts community and its public in critical dialogue about contemporary art."
It offers a studio in the lower level of the Chicago Artist Coalition's gallery, one SOLO show during the year and professional support by having studio visits from artists, gallerists, curators, and collectors. I am starting this residency on July 15th. I already got the studio and am moving soon.
I was a HATCH resident, which is another artist-in-residency program that the Chicago Artist Coalition offers. This residency helped my work gain exposure and let me meet wonderful people in the arts. Now that I am starting BOLT I am delighted to be part of a community of talented artists, expand my professional network in the arts and strengthen my presence as an artist in the United States through community dialogue, and access to programming and support.

OPINION The Eighth Jewish Child - for Caryl Churchill
A response to the play 'Seven Jewish Children', currently appearing at the Royal Court Theatre in London.
In response to "Seven Jewish Children," written by Caryl Churchill, and condemned by Howard Jacobson, supported by Jacqueline Rose, and labeled a "blood libel" by Melanie Phillips.
"Tell her that it's more complicated than that.Tell her that we love Israel.Tell her that we hate Israel.
Tell her that Israel is in our veins, like oxygen, like a virus, like an antibody.
Tell her that to be Jewish is far more than watching the news and looking for balance, and far more than being a Zionist, and far more than just praying to God."

This is the best Biscotti recipe I have ever tasted. Slicing is tricky so I have switched to sliced almonds with good results. It is a very versatile recipe and I have tried it with many different dried fruits. Most recently I used dried pears with diced crystalized ginger and replaced the milk with pear brandy. They were delicious.flag if inappropriate
I like this recipe. I chopped the apricots as well and kneaded them into the dough and they turned out very well. I want to try this with some other dried fruit we enjoy, i.e. dates.flag if inappropriate
I must really like this recipe to review it TWICE. Ha! Sorry.flag if inappropriate
these biscotti are very tasty. I made them in the processor with great success, chopping the apricots first.flag if inappropriate
Made this in the processor with NO problems, but less mess.flag if inappropriate
There are a few things I'll change next time I make these. I had problems both with rolling the dough and cutting because of the whole almonds. I think next time I'll use chopped ones and maybe try some of the fruit suggestions others have made. Can't wait to try again!flag if inappropriate
I started making this to bring to family gatherings in 2002. Now, if I were to dare arrive without them, my whole family will freak out.flag if inappropriate
I've been making these since 2002 when the recipe first appeared in the magazine. They are always successful and requested treat.flag if inappropriate
I make this recipe a lot. Try dried cranberrries instead of the apricot for a holiday touch. Golden raisins are a tasty substitute too. I put the fruit in with the almonds (bypassing one step) so you do see specks of fruit on the outside of the log...which is ok with me. I also form the dough directly into the 14 inch log (forget the disk), wrap in cellophane and freeze for 1-2 hours (makes the dough easier to roll out on to parchment paper, no need for wet hands). As everyone says, the cutting is tricky...make sure you let it cool before you transfer to the cutting board (minimum 20 minutes). While some may break during the process, that's just more culls for you to eat! You can't get a bad tasting wafer from this recipe.flag if inappropriate
A great trick for slicing biscotti is to score the tops of the baked logs with a serrated knife, then slice through with a sharp chef's knife.flag if inappropriate

WASHINGTON — Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar announced today that the federal government has now made more than $1 billion in grants under the North American Wetlands Conservation Act of 1989, helping to conserve or restore more than 25.4 million acres of wetlands and associated habitat across the continent over the past two decades.
The milestone was passed when the Migratory Bird Conservation Commission voted to approve $33.4 million in matching grants to conserve 190,000 acres of wetlands. Under the Act, the funds will be matched or exceeded by private contributions.
"Today we mark an historic milestone in for what is not only one of our nation's most effective conservation laws but also one of its most effective conservation partnerships," Salazar, who serves as chair of the commission, said. "While the federal government has made more than $1 billion in grants, our partners have contributed more than $2 billion in matching funds to conserve, enhance, and restore vital wetlands that provide critical habitat for fish and wildlife."
At its meeting, the commission also approved the expenditure of nearly $8 million in Federal Duck Stamp funds to add more than 4,000 wetland acres to seven units of the National Wildlife Refuge System.
Wetlands provide many ecological, economic, and social benefits, including habitat for fish, wildlife, and a variety of plants. They serve as nurseries for many saltwater and freshwater fishes and shellfish of commercial and recreational importance. Wetlands also hold and slowly release flood waters, act as filters to cleanse water of impurities, and provide recreational and wildlife viewing opportunities for millions of people.
The commission includes Senators Thad Cochran of Mississippi and Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas, Representatives John Dingell of Michigan and Robert Wittman of Virginia, Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa P. Jackson, as well as state representatives as ex officio members who vote on projects located within their respective states.
The $33.4 million in grants approved today will support 34 projects in 24 states under NAWCA's U.S. Standard Grants Program. Partners in these projects will contribute an additional $89.3 million in matching funds to support these conservation efforts.
Grants are funded by annual Congressional appropriations; fines, penalties and forfeitures levied under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act; interest accrued on funds under the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act; and excise taxes paid on small engine fuels through the Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Fund.
Passed in 1989, NAWCA provides matching grants to organizations and individuals who have developed partnerships to carry out wetlands conservation projects in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The Act was passed in part to support activities under the North American Waterfowl Management Plan, an international agreement that provides a strategy for the long-term protection of wetlands and associated upland habitats needed by waterfowl and other migratory birds in North America.
More information about NAWCA grant programs and the NAWCA projects approved today is available on the Web at: http://www.fws.gov/birdhabitat/grants/NAWCA/index.shtm
The Commission also approved the purchase of wetlands that will be added to seven units of the National Wildlife Refuge System to secure breeding, resting, and feeding habitat. These acquisitions include:
These acquisitions are funded with the proceeds from sales of the Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp, otherwise known as the Federal Duck Stamp. The stamp features the winner of the annual Federal Duck Stamp Art Contest. This year's Federal Duck Stamp Art Contest – the nation's only federally sponsored annual art competition – will be held October 16 and 17 at the Patuxent Research Refuge in Laurel, Md., 25 miles north of Washington, D.C. The winning art will be made into the 2010-2011 Federal Duck Stamp, which sells for $15.
Additional information about the history on the ongoing efforts to conserve North America's wetlands and waterfowl can be found at Flyways.us. The website provides waterfowl enthusiasts, biologists and agency administrators with the most up-to-date waterfowl habitat and waterfowl population information.

There's a Horton-esque quality about Bernstein's Elephant throughout, and both he and Monkey exude personality. This achievement in visual characterization is matched by Schaefer's text, which employs controlled word choices and embeds careful repetition in support of the emerging reader. A welcome addition to the early-reader shelf.
—Kirkus Reviews
Schaefer's rich and witty dialogue will charm and amuse early chapter-book readers. The digitally created cartoonlike characters are brimming with emotion and often surrounded by distinctive patterns of sunshine, leaves, and grasses. Children comfortable with Arnold Lobel's FROG AND TOAD ARE FRIENDS (HarperCollins, 1970) and Wong Herbert Yee's UPSTAIRS MOUSE AND DOWNSTAIRS MOLE (Houghton, 2005) will enjoy reading about Monkey and Elephant.
—School Library Journal
Carole Lexa Schaefer is the author of many acclaimed picture books for children, including Down in the Woods at Sleepytime, illustrated by Vanessa Cabban; The Bora-Bora Dress, illustrated by Catherine Stock; and Big Little Monkey, illustrated by Pierre Pratt. Carole Lexa Schaefer lives on Camano Island, Washington.
Galia Bernstein was born and raised in Israel and moved to New York to study at Parsons The New School for Design. In addition to illustrating picture books, she also works as a textile print artist. Galia Bernstein lives in Brooklyn.

Arnold Schwarzenegger on '60 Minutes': Hollywood Reacts
Judd Apatow says the former governor offered "lots of denial," while Joy Behar expresses admiration that he resisted "groping Lesley Stahl."
Arnold Schwarzenegger's PR ground assault in support of his new memoir, Total Recall, kicked off last night with an interview on 60 Minutes.
PHOTOS: '80s Action Stars: Where Are They Now?
Talking to correspondent Lesley Stahl, the Terminator star and former California governor admitted to not just having cheated on wife Maria Shriver with the family's longtime housekeeper -- a tryst that produced an illegitimate son -- but of having carried on several affairs, including one with Brigitte Nielsen.
Communication, apparently, was a sticking point in their relationship, with Schwarzenegger also admitting to having undergone open heart surgery without telling Shriver, and not even revealing to her he was planning on running for governor until the week of his big political announcement.
Perhaps most shocking of Schwarzenegger's claims was that it took "five or six years" before he realized that family housekeeper Mildred Baena had given birth to a son who had half his DNA.
STORY: Early Reviews For Arnold Schwarzenegger's Memoir Are Not Pumped Up
"It just appeared to me there was something off, that he started looking like me," Schwarzenegger said of his son. "So that's when I kind of got it ... it was never discussed. But, I mean, I put the things together here."
Reaction to the interview has been largely negative, with Schwarzenegger being widely derided as lacking self-awareness, humility, and, some argue, honesty in sharing his personal recollections.

Here is a sampling of Twitter reactions from promiment Hollywood and media figures.

Event pros celebrate the best catering and decor of the year.
White feather palm trees and Casablanca: total Old Hollywood glamour. All photographs by Geoff Chesman
On Sunday night, DC-area caterers and event planners attended the National Association of Catering Executives' annual awards gala at the Hotel Monaco. The theme was "NACE Salutes the 1940s: Heroes to Hollywood," and the decor—including Casablanca playing on a large screen in the ballroom and Uncle Sam mingling with guests during cocktail hour—channeled the Old Hollywood meets Americana vibe. And we were psyched to see Mary Alice Yeskey of Charm City Cakes (and Ace of Cakes!) emcee the awards ceremony.

Fashion retailer leverages exclusive offer on social site, mirroring Rachel Roy's winning effort.
Nine West tightened the gap between e-commerce and its Facebook presence yesterday when it launched a rich-media shopping app on the social media site. The Jones Apparel-owned brand is offering designer Fred Allard's accessories line from its spring catalog with a Facebook-exclusive 15 percent discount through February.
Digital shopping vendor Fluid Inc. developed Nine West's app, dubbed "Lookbook," which can only be accessed by users who are "fans." The retailer has inserted a "Shop Lookbook" tab at the top of Facebook.com/NineWest.
"Fans" who click the tab can browse numerous products via the Flash-enabled app and then add items to a shopping bag (though the product data is being stored at Nine West's e-commerce site). Once items are added, users see a "Go To Shopping Bag" button in the upper right-hand corner of the app. Click-throughs produce a separate window containing Nine West's standard checkout with the selected products preloaded on the page.
The Lookbook user experience is akin to Flash catalogs of recent years. Status updates on the social site and an e-mail to the brand's opt-in list have been used to promote the effort. Creating sales isn't the only objective, according to Nine West's prepared release, as the brand is also looking to improve upon its 44,000 "fans."
The initiative comes on the heels of Jones Apparel brand Rachel Roy's successful one-day test on Feb. 9. The fashion designer brand offered a slew of Facebook-exclusive, limited-edition products that sold out in roughly six hours. During the 24-hour period, Rachel Roy increased its Facebook numbers by 38 percent - from around 8,800 "fans" to more than 12,100.
New York-based Jones Apparel's decision to run the Nine West effort had nothing to do with the Rachel Roy deployment, said Andy Lloyd, CEO of the San Francisco-based Fluid. He explained that the two initiatives were planned side-by-side, with the second one being imminent even if the first flopped.
Somewhat surprisingly, Lloyd acknowledged that Facebook's often territorial patrons - who tend to frown on commercial-oriented developments - may not fit some retailers' marketing needs. "I would say that it isn't [for every retail brand]," he said. "One of the things I think we will see is that retailers are still in the stage where they are trying new things [on Facebook]. And this is a fairly new thing."
Indeed, few major retailers have tested how close than can get to transactional e-commerce without breaking Facebook's rules. For instance, notable catalogers like JC Penney, Lillian Vernon, Cabela's, and Land's End have yet to incorporate Flash-catalog-like apps on their "fan" pages.

Heine's work has also appeared via Mashable, Brandweek, DM News, MarketingSherpa, and other tech- and ad-centric publications.

Hi CVs,
We ArVians are tired of playing the waiting game and seeing all that brilliant Arjun-Purvi chemistry go to waste. We want to see ArVi together, not putting in separate appearances and cameos. You cannot be wasting the acting brilliance of Rithvik and Asha with continuously poor tracks. Our patience is running thin since past 5 months and yet we watch for ArVi, to see them reunited in the show.
ArVi magic cannot be matched - whether it's their emotional scenes, their romance or their conversations.
Here's a little example to jog your memory -
Something as simple as having tea is charming to watch when Arjun and Purvi are doing so (be it by the roadside or in the chawl). ArVi have a natural appeal - they keep each other happy, they understand each other, they feel the other's pain and they express themselves freely only in front of each other.
No marriage based on compromise/ misunderstanding/ mistrust will keep them happy or content. It will keep them miserable, whether they admit it to anyone else or not. And when they are not happy in these marriages, their respective spouses will not be happy either.
So please CVs, quit playing games and instead of just giving us flashbacks, give us ArVi in real time. We want to see ArVi getting back on track, reunited, married to each other.

Is your child a picky eater? We asked the experts, including health counselors and nutritionists, for their best tips on how to get your child to eat (and like!) new - and healthy - foods.
It's a food-loving parent's sweaty nightmare: a picky kid who turns down fresh, wholesome food in favor of ill-shaped nuggets or only things drenched in - gasp! - ketchup. Here are some clever ways keep kids refining their palates, at every age:
Serve up veggies first.
The key to an open mind, er, palate later is introducing a wide range of flavors from the get-go. One of the traps many parents fall into is only offering sweet flavors - bananas, sweet potatoes, and the like - in their children's first bites, says Jeanette Bessinger, a holistic health counselor and author of Great Expectations: Best Food for Your Baby & Toddler. One tactic is to start off with whole grain rice cereal then go straight to the veggies so kids are exposed to some sour and bitter notes, too.
Start adding real flavor early.
By the time kids are taking on a pretty broad variety of textures, around 9 to 12 months, you can start adding a dash of flavor using your own taste buds as your guide. Give cauliflower a sprinkle of cumin, beets a dash of cinnamon, and yellow squash a pinch of dried basil. "For many countries in the world, like India, spice is added to first bites in serious amounts," says Bessinger. This translates into a tolerance, and even affinity, for flavors later on.
Also: Take advantage of the "flavor explosion" that can happen between 18 months and 2 years. "It's just like language," Bessinger says. "There's an explosion of potential for introducing new foods." (Introducing one food at a time is still a good idea, though, because it helps to isolate any allergic reactions.)
Don't sneak around with the good stuff.
There has been much ado lately about sneaking nutrients into foods, whether through fortification or through handiwork in the kitchen. But if you do so, is your kid really "trying" something new? Are they ever going to try if you've pandered to fickle tastes for too long? "Children have to learn to be individuals and develop a taste for real food," says Bessinger. "If we're disguising our most nutrient-rich good stuff, then we're doing them a serious disservice."
Rely on peer pressure - the good kind.
Remember a childhood friend from another culture who ate miso soup or always had exotic fruits, like starfruit, in the fridge? It was way cooler to try foods at that friend's house than when your mom was pushing them. "If you tell them it's healthy or different, you've just built it up," says Bessinger. Then the experience becomes more about the parent-child relationship and less about the child-food relationship, and that's a mistake. Feel free to scheme with other parents so that your child is exposed to new foods away from the home, where he's much more likely to nosh.
Get the kids in on the process.
The number one way to get a kid to chow down on a mixed green salad, or even something as exotic as endive? Actively involve him in the process of getting the food on the table. Join your neighborhood garden (check out greenthumbnyc.org to find green spaces in your hood), and then get dirty growing some veggies. If that's too much of a task, try growing herbs in a window box. Once its dinnertime, let kids measure, marinate, mix - anything to give them a hands-on connection with the food you're introducing.
Relax (really).
Here's some news for you: "It seems counterintuitive, but the key is really to just relax about the whole thing," says Bessinger. If you are nervous and uptight about something new, kids will pick up on the stress. She says that a better tactic is simply to put a new food on the table, no explanation necessary: "Just put it down and walk away - no reward, no punishment."

Testimonials from Sports Cards Buyers and Sellers
Dean Hanley has been buying and selling baseball cards professionally since 2001.
Over the years, we have come in contact with tens-of-thousands of people, both as buyers and as sellers of vintage sports cards. The principle that I have preach to the Dean's Cards team is when dealing with people, always practice the "Golden Rule Plus" and treat the people we come in contact with as we would like to be treated - and if the opportunity presents itself - then try to take it one step further an exceed expectations.
If we do make a mistake, then we admit it, apologize, fix it, and learn from it and so that we do not make it again. If you do these things, then I have found that 99% of the people are easy, and even fun, to work with. Our great customer service, conservative grading, easy-to-use website, huge scans of the actual card that you will receive, and one business day processing of orders, has earned DeansCards.com validation as a GOOGLE TRUSTED STORE. We know of no other card seller in the hobby that can make this claim.
