1. Technical Field
The present invention relates to liquid containers. In particular, containers designed for bulk transport of liquids by commercial transport vehicles.
2. Background Art
Transportation of liquids in bulk quantities has been implemented using a variety of methods. A common method is to use a vehicle designed solely for liquid transport. Vehicles of this type are available in both motor and rail transport forms. A disadvantage to this type of transport solution is that because the vehicle is designed for liquid cargo, it creates a backhaul problem. A backhaul is the cargo carried by the vehicle on the the probability that cargo will be carried in both directions of the trip and therefore reduces the productivity of the vehicle. In addition to the backhaul problem, the costs involved with cleaning and inspection of a vehicle designed for liquid cargo increase the cost of the cargo. For example, when the vehicle is used to carry food products, great care must be used to avoid contamination. For these reasons, it is desirable that a general purpose vehicle be provided the ability to carry liquid cargo.
Attempts have been made to use general purpose vehicles for transport of liquid cargo. One known method has been to secure a deformable liner to the inside walls of a cargo vehicle. The bottom of the liner rests on the floor of the vehicle. As the vehicle is loaded, the liquid presses the liner against the floor and walls of the vehicle. While useful for some types of cargo, this method is undesirable for food or other products which may be subject to contamination. Additionally, since the cargo is unrestrained, movement of the vehicle may cause a surging weight shift which can destabilize the Vehicle. Baffles have been used to reduce the surging problem in this type of container. However, the baffles increase the cost of the liner, increase the surface area exposed to the cargo which increases the possibility of contamination, and have a relatively limited effect on surging due to the high mass of most liquid cargos.
Shipment of bulk liquids has also been accomplished by first loading the liquids into drums and then securing the drums inside the transport vehicles. While tending to reduce the exposure to air which may contaminate some cargo, this method has proven to be unsuitable for most food items due to the remaining possibility of contamination, and the desirability of avoiding metal contact with the food items. Likewise, surging problems still exist within each drum due to the presence of air pockets in the top of the drum. A further disadvantage to this method is the high cost of using drums for shipment. Not only are the drums themselves expensive, but filling, loading and unloading are expensive labor consuming activities. In addition, as the drums are loaded onto the vehicle, they must be restrained or else the movement of the vehicle may cause the drums to be damaged or overturned in transit. The expense of using drums is further increased due to the need to provide pallets to rest the drums on during transit. The drums must be disposed of or returned. In the first instance, the cost of the pallets become part of the cost of the cargo. In the second instance, the space taken by the pallets during the return trip reduces the amount of usable cargo space.
Bag, or pillow, containers have been developed which are sealed to prevent exposure to ambient air. These containers typically have air pockets which allow surging when the vehicle is in motion. To avoid movement of this type of container, restraining straps are used to hold the bag in place. In addition to the straps, bulkheads are often required to hold the ends of the bags in place when vehicle doors are opened. Bulkheads are typically expensive and time consuming to install. An additional problem associated with bags is that when they are punctured, or if a seal breaks, an entire cargo can be lost due to drainage. Further, these bags often require inner liners when transporting food stuffs or other items requiring approval from government agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
A problem associated with all of the prior forms of bulk liquid containers is that they often are too expensive to use for a single delivery and then be discarded. This necessitates an expensive cleaning process prior to each use as well as the cost of storage between uses.
While addressing the basic desirability of using general purpose transport vehicles to move bulk liquid cargo, the prior art has failed to provide a single bulk transport system for liquids which is inexpensive to manufacture, has a minimum number of seals to avoid leakage, minimizes leakage in the event of a puncture or seal failure, reduces contamination due to exposure to ambient air or air pockets, and can be used without straps or other restraining devices.
The present invention solves the foregoing problems by providing a bulk liquid container constructed of semi-rigid material which has an integral outer wall to limit leakage. Seal leakage is reduced through the use of a single endless inner seal and an optional dual outer seal. The material is suitable for food storage without the use of an inner liner. A self forming convex upper layer which is vented at the top of the apex allows liquid to completely fill the container under pressure. The convex shape and the semi-rigid nature of the material further act to reduce the surging motion of the liquid when the vehicle containing the bulk liquid container is in motion, thereby eliminating the need for retaining straps. An optional bulkhead designed for rapid installation and removal through the use of quick disconnect support bars, as well as remote vent, fill and empty lines for ease of use and worker safety are also provided.

Referring to FIG. 1, this figure shows a typical prior art approach. The bag 100 is formed from strips 114 joined by seals 110. Side panels 116 are seals on both sides of the bag 100 by seal 104 and 106. The ends of bag 100 are sealed by pressure clamps 108. Due to the number of seals 104, 106, 108, and 110, the possibility of leakage due to a seal failure is substantial.
The bag 100 is stabilized by straps 102 to prevent movement of bag 100 due to surging and sloshing of the liquid during transport of the bag 100. The straps 102 attach to bag 100 at one end and are attached to the transport vehicle 118 (shown in dashed outline form) at the other end. The straps are required due to the generally flat nature of bag 100. Due to its shape, air trapped in bag 100 allows the liquid cargo to surge and slosh during movement of vehicle 118. This surging places stress on bag 100 which can cause leaks not only in the strips of material 114, and 116, but also on seal 104, 106, 108, and 110.
As can be seen, the shape of bag 100 and the absence of a containment system allows the entire contents to bag 100 to leak out in the event of a leak. This results not only in a total loss of the cargo, but possible dangerous contamination depending on the nature of the cargo.
Finally, fill/drain attachment 120 is fitted to the top of bag 100 and fill/drain hose 122 is attached to fill/drain attachment 120. However, since bag 100 has a relatively flat upper surface, specific placement of fill/drain attachment 120 is not important since there will usually be some portion of bag 100 which contains air pockets.
In FIG. 2, a second prior art approach is shown. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, bag 200 has an outer layer 204 and inner liner 202. The inner liner 202 serves to protect against leaks and to ensure that contamination of the cargo is avoided. Inner liners 202 may also be required by government agencies depending on the materials used to construct bag 200. Of course, the addition of an inner liner 202 adds to the cost of bag 200.
Due to its shape, bag 200 is attached to supports 210 at both ends of bag 200. Supports 210 are attached at their other end to the container (not shown) holding bag 200. Supports 210 provide some restraint and also provide lift to the ends of bag 200 in an attempt to minimize some of the surging of the cargo. However, since the upper shape of bag 200 is uncontrolled, surging of cargo during movement of the vehicle is inevitable. Further, air pockets at the top of bag 200 will contribute to the ability of the cargo to surge.
FIG. 3 shows a side view of the bulk liquid container 300 (hereinafter container 300) used in the preferred embodiment when filled. The container 300 is fabricated from first and second layers of polyethylene material. For ease of illustration, they will hereafter be referred to as lower layer 500 (shown in Figure 5) and upper layer 304. Further, the perimeter portion 302 of lower layer 500 is shown in FIG. 3 as rectangular for ease of illustration, but is actually rounded at the corners as explained below in the discussion of FIG. 5. The thickness of the polyethylene in the preferred embodiment is 60 mils. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that it is possible to fabricate container 300 by sealing two sides together rather than a top and bottom layer. In addition, while a 60 mil thickness of polyethylene is used in the preferred embodiment, the thickness may vary as long as sufficient rigidity and strength is maintained.
Container 300 has a lower layer formed from a single sheet of polyethylene. Lower layer 500 has an interior portion 502 (shown below in FIG. 5) designed to rest on the floor of a transport vehicle. A perimeter portion 302 of lower layer 500 extends upward from the interior portion against the interior walls of the transport container forming a retaining wall for container 300.in the preferred embodiment, the perimeter portion extends approximately two feet up the interior walls of the vehicle. The height of the wall is not critical to the invention. As a practical matter, however, a two foot perimeter portion 302, when added to the approximately equal height provided by the upper layer 304 when container 300 is filled, provides sufficient capacity to hold the maximum weight load of a typical motor freight vehicle. Of course, those skilled in the art will recognize that changes in the weight capability of transport vehicles and changes in permissible weight loads allowed by government authorities will change the preferred height of perimeter portion 302.
The thickness of the polyethylene has been found to provide a suitable rigidity and strength for containing leaks. In the event of a leak, the rigidity of the perimeter portion 302 will enable it to hold its shape and not collapse. Therefore, leakage will cease when the upper layer 304 drops to the level of the perimeter portion 302 resulting in containment of the leak and possible salvage of a portion of the cargo which may otherwise be lost. In addition, the thickness provides sufficient strength to allow use of a single layer of polyethylene material, thereby avoiding the expense of interior liners such as those used in the prior art. Further, the thickness of the liner allows container 300 to be laid on the floor of a transport vehicle without the use of underlayment pads which might be necessary for thinner bags found in the prior art. Another advantage of container 300 is the elimination of the requirements for harness straps which add cost to prior art methods due to the cost of the harness straps and also due to the extra labor required to secure them.
As the perimeter portion 302 is folded upward against the interior walls of the vehicle, the corners of lower layer 500 act to force the corners of upper layer 304 down, which in turn results in the middle section of upper layer 302 forming a convex bulge. The formation of the convex bulge is discussed more fully in the description of FIG. 7. The convex bulge allows the top vent 306 to be inserted into container 300 at the highest point on container 300.
By venting at the highest point of container 300, air can be completely removed from container 300 when it is filled through aperture 312 of fill/drain attachment 308. Not only can the air pockets be removed, but container 300 can be filled under pressure. In turn, the removal of air from container 300 and pressure filling of container 300 eliminates the opportunity of the cargo to surge as happens in the prior art. A further limitation on surging is provided by the semi-rigid nature of container 300. The rigidity of container 300 inhibits movement of the cargo, thereby contributing further to cargo stability.
As can be seen, there are significant advantages to venting all of the air from container 300. First, the liner is able to be completely filled to capacity, creating larger payloads and improving efficiency. Second, removal of air deprives the liquid cargo of space to start a surge action, improving stability. Third, removal of the air inhibits contamination such as fermentation, mold, or mildew, improving health safety and protecting the cargo from loss of value.
Both top vent 306 and fill/drain attachment 308 may be filled and vented remotely by attaching vent and fill/drain line to apertures 310 and 312 respectively. The advantage of remote venting and fill/draining is an improvement in convenience, efficiency, and safety of workers. Three quarter inch tubing is used for the vent line in the preferred embodiment. Further, the particular shape or configuration of top vent 306 or fill/drain attachment 308 is not important so long as they are convenient to use.
FIG. 4 shows an end view of container 300 discussed above in relation to FIG. 3. Those skilled in the art will recognize that while top vent 306 should be located as close to the top of upper layer 304 as possible to facilitate removal of air pockets, fill/drain attachment 308 can be located in any convenient location since container 300 can be pressure filled. Likewise, it should be apparent that the higher fill/drain attachment 308 is located on the convex bulge, the less pressure will be required to fill container 300.
FIG. 5 shows a top view of lower layer 500. For ease of illustration, lower layer 500 is not drawn to scale. Lower layer 500 is a single sheet having an interior portion 502 surrounded by perimeter portion 302. As discussed above, the preferred embodiment uses a two foot wide perimeter portion. Interior portion 502 would be sized to substantially fill the floor surface area of the intended transport vehicle. In the preferred embodiment, upper layer 304 (not shown) has substantially the same dimensions as lower layer 500. Therefore, as container 300 is filled, the two foot height of perimeter portion 302 is approximately doubled by the section of upper layer 304 which overlays perimeter 302 and is pushed upward by the filling process. Those skilled in the art will recognize that upper layer 504 does not have to be the same size as lower layer 500. If, for example, upper layer 304 is smaller than lower layer 500, it will attach lower on the perimeter portion 302 resulting in a lower net cargo capacity. Likewise, the excess perimeter portion 302 will provide a relatively larger leak barrier.
FIG. 6 is an end view which shows the position of the endless seal 602 in relation to upper layer 304 and lower layer 500. Endless seal 602 is created by bonding layers 304 and 500 together. The bonding can be performed by a variety of methods such as inner heat, ultrasonic or RF (radio frequency) sealing. In the preferred embodiment, a self propelled air heater is used. Self propelled air heaters are well known in the art. Endless seal 602 is an internal seal, heat sealed from the inside. An important advantage of the invention is that the endless seal allows the container 300 to be created with a single seal. Further, in the prior art, numerous seals were used resulting in greater potential for leakage, and increased manufacturing cost due to additional time and labor required to fabricate all of the seals.
While container 300 requires only the single endless seal 602 to perform, a dual seal 604 may be applied for added protection. As can be seen from FIG. 6, a slight overhang of lower layer 500 is used to provide support for the dual seal 604. This seal is preferably an extrusion weld made of the same material as the upper and lower layers 304 and 500. While the second extrusion seal is typically used in addition to endless seal 602 for an added measure of protection, either endless seal 602 or dual seal 604 can satisfactorily perform if used alone or in combination with one another. Those skilled in the art will recognize that it is possible to use layers of differing material as long as the sealing of the layers is possible. Likewise, the material used for container 300 does not have to be polyethylene. The only requirements for substitute materials are that they should not interact adversely with the chemical compositions in the cargo and they should meet government requirements for use with the particular cargo.
The distance between endless seal 602 and the edge of lower layer 500 is not critical. However, location of the seal at a distance of two to four inches from the edge of lower layer 500 has been found to provide the most efficient use of layer material while providing adequate room to apply dual seal 604.
FIG. 7 is a top view of container 300 shown in flat (i.e., empty) position after the endless seal 602 is completed. The path of endless seal 602 is preferably located near the outer perimeter of upper layer 304 and lower layer 500. Vent aperture 702 and fill/drain aperture 704 are cut into upper layer 304 to accept top vent 306 and fill/drain attachment 308. The location of aperture 702 is based on the expected location of the highest point when container 300 is filled which is typically in the center of container 300. The location of aperture 704 and fill/drain attachment 308 is not critical. Of course, top vent 306 and the fill/drain attachment 308 are also sealed to upper layer 304. An extrusion welder is used for this purpose in the preferred embodiment. However, a variety of other methods are suitable, including heat, ultrasonic, RF, vulcanizing, or by epoxying. Two inch diameter venting and fill/drain fittings are used in the preferred embodiment.
Also apparent from FIG. 7 is the simplicity of construction provided by the invention. As can be seen, only two sheets of material with a single endless seal are required to manufacture the basic structure of container 300, resulting in significantly reduced manufacturing costs. While the cost of manufacturing the container is inexpensive enough to allow disposal after a single use, it is reusable and recyclable.
FIG. 8 shows the liquid pickup method used by fill/drain attachment 308. Fill/drain attachment 306 extends 3-6 inches into container 300 in the preferred embodiment. When container 300 is almost empty and fill/drain attachment 308 rests on lower layer 500, liquid can still be extracted though apertures 802 in the side of fill/drain attachment 308.. By extending the fill/drain attachment 308 into container 300, air is prevented from entering the suction line which would cause the discharge pump to lose its prime and halt fluid flow from container 300.
It is well known in the art to attach bulkheads to vehicle frames retain cargo when doors are open. FIG. 9 shows an improved bulkhead 900 which is low cost and is rapidly installable. Bulkhead wall 902 can be fabricated from inexpensive plywood. The preferred embodiment contemplates five eighth inch thick to three quarter inch thick plywood. Bar 904 is set into the frame of the vehicle (not shown) and attached to bulkhead wall 902 by flexible ties 906. While plywood is used in the preferred embodiment, any suitable material may be substituted. For example, corrugated fiberboard, plastic board, or corrugated sheet metal may all be substituted.
As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, one end of flexible tie 906 is passed though aperture 908 on one side of bar 904, passed back through a second aperture 908 on the other side of bar 904 and tied together with the other end of flexible tie 906 prevent movement of bar 904. Those skilled in the art will recognize that it does not matter which side of bulkhead wall 902 that flexible tie 906 is tied. After use, bars 904 and bulkhead wall 902 can be stored in a minimum amount of space.
FIG. 11 shows container 300 fully loaded in a transport vehicle 1104. Upper layer 304 is shown through the cutaway portion of transport vehicle 1104. Top vent 306 is located at the apex of the convex bulge on upper layer 304. Remote vent line 1102 is attached to top vent 306. Fill/drain attachment 308 is placed at a convenient location for loading and unloading container 300, but can easily be located elsewhere with the use of a remote fill/drain line 1106. Bulkhead wall 902 and bars 904 are shown at the rear door of transport vehicle 1104. One door of transport vehicle is shown in the closed position. This is not required to practice the invention, but is shown in this position to illustrate an additional safety step in the event of a bulkhead failure. One skilled in the art will recognize that the appropriate size for container 300 will be determined by the type of transport vehicle 1104 selected.
In addition to use on transport vehicles, which may include a variety of modes such as container, truck, rail, ship or air, container 300 is also useful for standalone storage. In this mode, inexpensive storage is provided if inventory should reach an excessive level. Further, while the preferred embodiment uses the interior walls of the vehicle for support, smaller loads can be placed on larger vehicles by building a retention wall inside the vehicle.
While the invention has been described with respect to a preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in detail my be made therein without departing from the spirit, scope, and teaching of the invention. For example, the material used to construct the layers may be anything suitable for a particular cargo, the size and shape of the top vent and drain/fill attachments. Likewise, the size of the bulk liquid container may vary based on the transport vehicle's limitations, etc. Accordingly, the invention herein disclosed is to be limited only as specified in the following claims.

SoleSearch: Find Kicks Around the World On Your Phone
By Laura Mason on February 18, 2011 3:50 PM
Sneakerheads are well repped in this city. If you've never heard one fetishize the goods at local shops like HUF, Fatlace, or the Darkside Initiative, you'd think they were a religious cult mainlining Kool-Aid. SoleSearch, a new smartphone app from Pangea Subsidiaries, might turn you into one too.

Birth Certificate, Passport, Marriage License Driver's License and Residency Permit all say I'm a Fred. I guess there's no denying it.
living and riding in a fairly affluent area, I can tell you my garage door which is on a median income home, looks exactly the same up close as the ones on some of the $5M+ houses a couple miles away.
+1 on why the boat oar crank arms?
How does Tuesday at 10:45 work for you? I checked with Snow White and she says she'll be free to drive you.
My bigger point was that it's easy to lie your way to being Mr man on the internet.
To get back on topic, here's a pic of my new bike (sorry for the phone pics, I'll try to get some better shots soon).
How much would a quality bike increase my riding pleasure?
Yeah, things changed, lol.
2014 Project One Madone Six Series...probably one of the last ones ever to be built
Nice metallic paint job but Not a hot bike.
S3 w/ All internal 9070 and Enve 6.7s.
2013 Tarmac Pro Dura Ace with Stan's Alpha 340 wheels. The color's not for everyone... But I think it looks awesome in person. And, of course, it's a blast to ride!

Google Fiber vs. AT&T U-verse in Kansas City, MO
It's always good news for the consumer when two companies offering the same service began to square-off for dominance in the same area. However, what both companies are offering will only be for certain neighborhoods of interest, as neither is franchising, and will only be available where demand is high enough to make it financially feasible.
AT&T already has a wide-costumer base in Kansas City, and will be offering the service under the same conditions, but those customers may want to stay with a service they're already familiar with, or opt to go with Google Fiber.
Google has partnered with Kansas City to create the infrastructure, and AT&T in Kansas City, MO will profit through their efforts; however, it really all depends upon what each company is offering and at what price. Google offers a 1-gigabyte connection, upload, and download speed, while AT&T is offering 300 Mps with no price increase when the service reaches the 1-gigabyte speed.
The 1-gigabyte Google Fiber offers comes at a $70 monthly charge and they will waive the $300 installation fee. They also have a 5 Mps offered free, but you will have to pay the $300 installation fee over a period of 2 years. AT&T charges a monthly fee of $99 and an additional $21 for HBO (3 years), for a total of $120 per month.
Google Fiber includes television services offered with their platform, but you will not be able to get phone—land line service through them—and will need to have a separate telephone service. This is where the major difference in the two companies' services really exists. AT&T's package includes both internet and television, but also provides telephone service in their service.
In the long-run, when AT&T is able to reach the 1-gigabyte speed, their service will be the better choice, as telephone bills can be $49.95 on the low-end, and much higher with other benefits added. For the time being, Google Fiber gives you the fastest connection, but you will certainly have a telephone bill with another company to consider when deciding which company's offer is the best fit for your home.
Both companies have sat their sights at 25-percent of users—wanting the service—in a neighborhood to make the service cost-effective. Neighborhood is relative, as it might be ¼ mile or several miles. It will all depend upon how much interest is shown in having the faster services.

Plz someone tell me how i can brows free net on reliance plz
Plz someone tell me how i can brows free net on reliance plz
First of all could you please tell us, do you want to surf internet freely on pc or on your mobile phone? Which Reliance connection are you using, that is, are you trying to use net on your mobile phone or your computer? Please give us as much details as possible to solve your issue? Thanks
I want to surfe net on pc and also mobile .. I'm using nokia 5130xm and my number starts with 8100 plz tell me settings for free
Not sure but you may get GPRS for free to surf on your mobile but in order to use it on your computer,, i dont think there is any service provider that gives you free internet. You will have to pay charges depending on their plan/services. And as per settings, just call the reliance customer care and ask them for PC internet settings. They will send it to your or will assist you manually.
Their nothing called free in this world

Go Out Fighting by Drak-ArtsWatch
©2012-2016 Drak-Arts
Your last chance, last summer
Your last dance, beat to your own drummer
Go out fighting, go out young
A flash of lightning, eclipse the sun
Brace yourself (brace yourself)
Brace yourself (brace yourself)
Brace yourself for the grand finale!
"Finale" - by Madeon
So I totally saw the opening of Playstation All-Stars a couple weeks ago and the visual style just struck me as far too awesome and I had to do something with it. And between that and the chosen song for it's lyrics, a picture based on Cerul v. Flare (RP still to come) was far beyond perfect.
Anyways, this is in fact pretty much the last major battle in Heth planned for Flare for the foreseeable future, so it fits. I'll focus all efforts on him within the art side and get challenges done instead of RPs, lol.
Also, due to timing of everything, doubles as a late birthday gift for *Adelein13 So... Happy (belated) Birthday!
Wow! Fantastic piece of awsome you have here! I really wish I could draw or write worth a sh:t, I would love to join the world of hetherev, but I guess just watching all these almost stories play out will have to suffice...for now...
Thanks! You can draw and write, but you gotta be willing to put in the raw time and practice to train and build the skills, haha. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise~
Pretty sick bit of art dude.
Totally epic. I love their poses, and those wings are just amazing.
Like I said before, I love this.
Don't kill each other you guys ):
Don't kill each other you guys ):
Hahahahahaha I'm sure Cerul'll come out fiiiine~ He can take a few scratches and a burn or two; he's only 4 times Flare's size.
Oh, wait.
Oh, wait.
Gorgeous image! Definitely looks and feels like an "epic finale" moment
This looks awesome! I really like the style and the colors!
Oh wow that came out really nice, those are some really awesome effects too! Thanks so much man <3!!!

Additional Information
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Excellent Natural E
Posted by 4984163340875233311 on Oct 21, 2012
I want a natural, mixed-tocopherol vitamin E, but I am allergic to just about all of them on the market. I tried this product because it appears to be based on safflower rather than soy, and it worked! I am thrilled to have found this!
I love this product
Posted by Reviewer2188044 on Dec 31, 2010
I have tried other vitamin E supplements and I always go back to this one. It is really great.
Posted by bryantest on Aug 27, 2012
Have switched to this product recently and I can say I am very happy with it. Solgar is a quality brand. Particularly like it has the mixed tocopherols (the price is also good). I use it as part of my Pyroluria treatment protocol.

I've tried less expensive vit E but this one seems to make a difference with the prescribed does whereas others I tend to take more before I feel the effects.
Been using it for 2 weeks
Posted by 5580026704145519430 on Sep 29, 2013
Odourless, and for 400 IU, pricing is pretty worth it. Been using it with Bilberry, pycnogel and collagen. I'd say it kinda works for me in terms of skin.

taking vitamin E along with primrose oil for about 8 months the level of CA-125 has been reduced to normal levels. I feel no pain during my period anymore. Just amazing!!
Large amounts of supplemental vitamin e are not healthy
Posted by Reviewer2348567 on Oct 05, 2014
Be careful taking something that contains such a large amount of vitamin e (this product contains 13x the recommended daily amount)! Recent studies have shown that supplemental vitamin e is either of no use or is actually harmful. Much safer to get vitamin e from food.
excellent vitamin e

Daybreak Daily's afternoon glance toward the pop-culture world finds a pregnancy that finally ends, crazy dudes teaming up, other things, and the mystery music video.
POP: Jessica Simpson's new baby boots surely will be made for walkin,' per People, "The star and her fiancé Eric Johnson welcomed daughter Maxwell Drew Johnson on May 1, she announced on her website. "Eric and I are elated to announce the birth of our baby girl, Maxwell Drew Johnson," she wrote. "We are grateful for all the love, support and prayers we have received. This has been the greatest experience of our lives!!" http://bit.ly/IkZ5Qv
SIGN OF THE TIMES: But it just seems so wrong, per the Los Angeles Times, "(A) panel at last week's CinemaCon convention in Las Vegas was highlighted by a noisy debate over texting in movie theaters. Several prominent industry figures seemed to endorse the idea that, at a time when teenagers are going to the movies less and less, it might be time to relax our prohibitions against texting in theaters. Regal Entertainment chief Amy Miles, who oversees the nation's largest theater chain, said that while her company discourages cell phone use, executives had talked about being more flexible in auditoriums showing youth-oriented films." http://lat.ms/Inewvt
SPAT: This is where it always gets ugly, per TMZ, "Usher and his ex-wife Tameka Raymond have gotten an ultimatum in their custody war -- they're at the Atlanta courthouse trying to settle it, and if they can't the judge is going to lay down the law. The singer and his ex-wife showed up to Fulton County Court this morning -- where a judge ordered the couple to try and hash out a temporary custody agreement in private mediation." http://bit.ly/Il1IlB
WOODY: And that other guy, per Vulture, "In what Deadline dubs "a competitive situation," a new series starring real life BFFs Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey is heading to HBO. It's looking like True Detective will feature an eight-episode first season." http://bit.ly/JLB7xY
MIKE WALLACE: A journalist's journalist, per the AP, "Chris Wallace turned and blew a kiss to a giant portrait of his father, "60 Minutes" journalist Mike Wallace, after memorializing him Tuesday as "the best journalist I have ever known. . . For nearly two hours, colleagues, friends and family members swapped stories - some flattering, some not so - about one of television news' best-known journalists. Mike Wallace died at age 93 on April 7. "{}http://apne.ws/IF5Puj
HUH?: She did respond, though, and that's nice of her, per the Huffington Post, "Hillary Clinton may be down with texting and letting loose in Cartegena nightclubs but she's not ready for her big-screen debut -- at least not yet. Jason Segel, who stars in TV's "How I Met Your Mother," said last week that the secretary of state turned down his offer to work with him on screen." http://huff.to/KnYqws
LIONEL LEGEND: The swap edition, per Entertainment Weekly, "John Legend is about to make some (probably sexy) music on ABC. The network announced Monday that Legend is set to join the quartet of mentors that will helm its forthcoming singing competition Duets, ABC has confirmed to EW. . .Legend will replace Lionel Richie, who dropped out of the show citing "personal scheduling conflicts," according to a rep." http://bit.ly/IPyxq3
TONY NOMINATIONS: per the AP, "The low-tech musical "Once," based on the love story of a Czech flower seller and an Irish street musician in Dublin, received a leading 11 Tony Award nominations Tuesday, proving sentiment can sway nominators just as much as special effects." http://apne.ws/Ijt7mB
SIRIUS XM: They still like us, per Deadline Hollywood, "The improving economy, and especially auto sales, enabled the satellite radio company to project that it will gain 1.5M subscribers in 2012 up from its previous estimate of 1.3M." http://bit.ly/ICXLfr

Picture wall tile and you're likely conjuring up images of bathrooms and showers. The reason is obvious: it makes for excellent waterproofing. While wall tile in other areas of the home is mostly decorative in nature, bathroom wall tile serves a functional purpose as well as an aesthetic one. That being the case, choosing the right materials and bathroom wall tile design is an important decision for any homeowner.
Laying a Strong Foundation for your Bathroom Wall Tile Design
Laying bathroom tile isn't much different from any other tile installation. It requires that you lay out your tile design, apply a thinset mortar, work in the tile, let the tile dry, and then grout the tile after about 24 hours. The one big difference between bathroom tile installation and other wall tile is the type of backing you use. Regular drywall might be satisfactory for a wall tile mural in your dining area, but it's not going to hold up to the water and moisture that is constantly present in your bathroom. For that reason you want to use a "green" drywall or cement backerboard for all bathroom wall tile design projects and always use the cement backerboard when it comes to installing shower wall tile or any tile around tubs and sinks.
Choosing the Right Bathroom Wall Tile
While choosing the correct backing for your wall tile is important if you want it to last, the fun part of a bathroom tiling project is choosing the tile itself. With the exception of natural cork tile, just about anything is suitable. Here's a list of some of the most popular bathroom tile materials out there to give you some food for thought.
- Stone TileNothing is as beautiful as stone tile, be it marble, granite, travertine, or any of the many other stone options on the market. Stone is also naturally water resistant and tough, both perfect qualities for shower wall tile. About the only drawback of stone as a wall tile is its weight, which can make installation tricky. And of course, it's also the most expensive tile you're likely to come across.
- Glass TileThis is another excellent option when it comes to bathroom wall tile design. Glass tile comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors, so working with it can be a real design treat, especially if you're up for a challenge! As an added bonus, most glass tile comes from recycled materials, making it a "green" material as well.
- Ceramic TileCeramic tile always has been, and always will be, one of the most popular choices for bathroom wall tile. It can be glazed and fired in just about any color and design you can imagine, from soft earth tones to hand painted designs, and its water resistance is perfect for the bathroom setting. It can chip easier than some of the other tile options, but if you think ahead and order a few more tiles than your project needs, those damaged tiles are an easy fix down the road.

- Mosaic TileMosaic tile has moved beyond the arts and crafts world. In fact, some of the most stunning and innovative bathroom wall tile designs are currently being done in mosaic, be it glass, ceramic, metal, or combinations of all three.
- Subway TileWhether you choose vintage imitation subway tile or actual reclaimed subway tile, this simple, utilitarian wall tile look is perfect for both contemporary and throwback bathroom designs.
The Great Wall Tile Dilemma - Should you Do it Yourself?
The answer to this question is up to you. Laying tile is certainly within the ability of many homeowners to do on their own, and with enough advance planning most do it yourselfers are certainly capable. Do keep in mind that the potential for water damage is a large risk in any bathroom home improvement, and faulty installation of shower wall tile, sink tile, and floor tiles can lead to bigger problems down the road. In that respect, if you don't feel absolutely confident doing it yourself, call in a professional so you won't have to worry.

Kamiak High School math teacher Chance McKinney won the grand prize in CMT's 2009 Music City Madness contest for his original song "Be Real."
On the way back from a trip to California, Chance McKinney began composing a country song in his head. He was afraid he'd forget it, so when he boarded the plane, he hid under a blanket and recorded the song onto his phone — without being caught by the flight attendants.
Four years later, that song landed McKinney the grand prize in CMT's Music City Madness contest.
The 38-year-old math teacher at Kamiak High School in Mukilteo submitted his original song, "Be Real," just two minutes before this year's contest deadline Oct. 5.
"You talk about procrastinating — holy smokes," the Montana native laughed. "I didn't put it off to the very last minute, I put it off to the last two minutes."

Contest results were announced Tuesday, and when McKinney checked the CMT Web site and saw he'd won, it sent his class into an uproar.
McKinney has been pursuing music for the past 12 years. After college, he sang bass for a Motown group, then joined local country band Nathan Chance for several years, opening for big-name country acts such as Rascal Flatts and Kenny Chesney.
"I would've had no idea that 'Be Real' would touch this many people in this many different ways," he said. "Everybody has a little piece of the song that they are. I've been getting e-mails from all over the nation. I'm sitting there going, 'I'm a high-school math teacher!'"
In CMT's contest, entrants moved forward in the competition based on how many votes they received online. When students learned McKinney had entered, they spread the word to at least 28 different states and five countries.
One of the students in McKinney's advance-placement statistics class, Najin Kwak, came up with a T-shirt to promote his song. The front of the shirt features a photo of McKinney, while the back makes a jab at "Twilight." The design shows three options: Team Edward, Team Jacob, and Team Chance. Team Chance is the winner.
Kwak said she sold 94 shirts, and is making a second run for people who still want them.
"A bunch of kids I know were like, 'I don't know if I should vote for him because I want him for my teacher next year!'" she said.
McKinney's plans for next year might be determined by what happens next with CMT. As grand-prize winner, he'll go to Nashville in late January to record a few songs in a Studio 330 session, which will air on CMT.com, and possibly the CMT network. He'll also audition with Valory Music, which holds Reba McEntire's contract.
"To be honest, I think the audition has already taken place," McKinney said, referring to the response the song has gotten. "The opportunity will only be what I make of it."

We should have sold him last year when that Italian (or was it Spanish?) club came sniffing round. If we had then at least 'Arry couldn't have been tempted to play him :-( Oh well, chances are nobody will want him come summer and we'll be stuck with him.
Let him rot in the reserves.

Maybe Harry will get a stretch. He could then use Jenas as his sub and we won't have to watch him for the rest of the season.
Reckon he would be far more useful as a prison bum boy than he is as a player.
Oh you little trickster lts.
My little heart leapt when I read that.
I can't beleive how many feel the same way about Jenas or how deep the loathing goes. Arry would get ten brownie points just for putting him for sale let alone actually selling him. And Arry might need those brownie points the way he is going!

Sfer quite right mate he needs to get some decent results from now, dont know about him going in the dock about tax evasion he needs to go in the dock to face the fans, im still reeling from Wednesdays game i just cannot believe what team he started with against such poor opposistion, you have read it on the thread you have stood by fans at games i have never heard a good comment coming from any Spurs fans about Jenas, he looses the ball every time he tries to pass it, hes always in the wrong position and does not know where to play.
Normally its down to different peoples opinion which is why we all like to put our own comments on the thread, we do not always agree with our fellow yiddos and as long as it constructive thats great, but i have to say Harry must be the only person on this planet (except Mourinio) that thinks this man can play, he is total garbage on i would not want a fee for him, if we let him go for me he could go on a free transfer and i would still be happy.
longtimespur longtimespur Feb 12, 2010 22:40 Flag
Can't argue on that point!! Not happy with Harry at the mo either.
WHY do managers rate Jenas so highly? England managers picked him and the special one was even rumoured to want him in Italy.
I am completely dumbfounded. He's got a "good engine", ie: runs about a lot, gives away far too many free kicks especially near our box and occasionally scores a cracker (1 against the gooners).
Never seen anything in him personally.

Aaliyah means high/ outstanding
To me Aaliyah means Beautiful,Ambitious,Heavily Goddess.
Aaliyah in the East African language of Swahili means, "the highest, most exalted one"
My Name ( Aaliyah ) Means Ascend.
Aalia means "top of all, rising, ascending".
Aaliyah is a variation of Aliyah, which may come from either Hebrew or Arabic, or both. In both languages, the meaning is similar: in Hebrew, Aaliyah means "rising, ascending," and in Arabic it means "lofty, sublime, exalted.
In Arabic, Aliyah may be considered a feminine version of the name Ali. In Hebrew, Aliyah referred to the journey of the Jewish people to the Promised Land of Israel
Introduced to audiences by R&B/pop singer R. Kelly, Aaliyah became famous during the mid-1990s with several hit records from the songwriting/production team of Missy Elliott and Timbaland. She found success with her first album "Age Aint Nothin But A Number", while introducing a "Street but Sleek" look which would become her trademark throughout her career. Although Aaliyah established herself as an artist of much mystery, her professional departure from R&B Singer R. Kelly came after alleged rumors that the two had secretly married while Aaliyah was just 15.

If you don't know who Seth MacFarlane is, then the commercials for this year's Academy Awards have likely left you a bit flummoxed. Who the heck is this guy, and why is he hosting one of the biggest television events of the year?
MacFarlane is best known as the creative force and voice behind "Family Guy," the popular animated show on FOX. You may also know him from his stints as roastmaster for several Comedy Central Roasts and his gig hosting "Saturday Night Live" last fall. Something you may not know about him, however, is that he can really carry a tune. In addition to "Family Guy" — which has him singing many a musical interlude — he's released an album of big-band covers and performed Sinatra songs with a 60-piece jazz band.
MacFarlane's love of song likely played into the Academy's decision to have him emcee this year — the other was their interest in attracting a younger demographic. After all, they love an Oscar host who can sing and dance.
So before the Oscars kick off on February 24 (8:30 p.m. ET / 5:30 p.m. PT, ABC), let's take a look back at some of MacFarlane's music — from raunchy "Family Guy" numbers to Rogers and Hammerstein covers — to get an idea of what we're in for.
'Family Guy' Theme Song
The "Family Guy" theme song features the show's four main characters, three of whom are voiced by MacFarlane himself (Peter, Brian and Stewie). There was originally some debate over the lyrics, which had MacFarlane's Stewie Griffin allegedly saying "the things that make us f'ing cry." Apparently, he was really saying "laugh and cry."
'I Need a Jew' ('Family Guy')
It's far from the most offensive song on "Family Guy," which says something, since this ditty features Peter Griffin furthering the Jews-being-good-with-money stereotype and blaming them for Jesus's death. Unfortunately, the track didn't sit well with the publisher of "Wish Upon a Star," who sued for copyright infringement, claiming the song stole the melody. The court ruled in favor of "Family Guy."
'Prom Night Dumpster Baby' ('Family Guy')
That offensive stuff we were just talking about? You get plenty of more of that here, in this Season 5 tune sung from the point of view of an aborted fetus. (See, it's offensive!) To top it off, the fetuses — all voiced by Seth MacFarlane — use their umbilical chords as props. Of course, if you're looking for something that pushes the envelope even further, why not try this song.
'American Dad' Theme Song
The theme to MacFarlane's second animated effort returned to the marching band regalia of "Family Guy" — but with a patriotic kick. The tune is sung by MacFarlane, who voices the show's main character, Stan Smith, a staunch conservative and CIA agent. Though the program never reached the critical acclaim — or audience — that "Family Guy" did, it further cemented MacFarlane's place in popular culture. The show is currently in its eighth season.
2007 Emmy Awards Opening
In 2007, "Family Guy" characters Brian and Peter Griffin (both voiced by MacFarlane) opened the Emmys with a musical montage, poking fun at the shows being honored at that night's ceremony. The song is to the tune of another "Family Guy" tune, "The Freaking FCC," and makes light of everything from the season finale of "The Sopranos" to the ages of the "Desperate Housewives" cast.
'The Way You Look Tonight'
For his 37th birthday, MacFarlane held a Rat Pack-themed party, where he performed Sinatra tunes with the help of a 60-piece orchestra. This cover of "The Way You Look Tonight" clearly showcases his talent outside of animation.
'Music Is Better Than Words'
In 2011, MacFarlane's musical career took an entirely different direction, when he released the album "Music Is Better Than Words." The record, which was nominated for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album at the Grammys, includes covers of classic big band tracks.
'The Night They Invented Champagne'
For good measure: A second track off of MacFarlane's "Music Is Better Than Words."
'Singin' in the Rain'
In 2012, MacFarlane performed at London's Royal Albert Hall in a show paying tribute to Broadway musicals. In this clip, he performs the classic "Singin' in the Rain" with the help of the John Wilson Orchestra.
'SNL' Monologue
In September 2012, MacFarlane hosted "SNL." Veteran Oscar writer Bruce Vilanch has stated that "Saturday Night Live" is a good barometer for whether or not you can host the Oscars. MacFarlane's "SNL" performance went over well with critics. However, the jokes he told during the January Oscar Nominations Special didn't really land, so how he performs on Hollywood's Biggest Night is still anyone's guess.

Developers seek tax break on 1.5 million square foot property
YATESVILLE - Before developers renovate a 1.5 million-square-foot space in Jenkins Twp., they hope to get a break on taxes from the Pittston Area School Board.
Representatives from Endurance Real Estate and I.D.C. Property LP presented the board with plans to renovate the former Techneglas facility at 140 Industrial Drive in Jenkins Twp. into a modern warehouse and distribution facility.
Attorney Frank Hoegen asked the school board for permission to advertise for a public hearing on the project before applying for Local Economic Revitalization Tax Assistance, which would allow the property owners to pay a reduced real estate tax rate to the school district for 10 years.
Mr. Hoegen said the assistance would help secure tenants for the development.
"Every major tenant is going to look for the lowest cost," he said.
Members of the school board did not grant Mr. Hoegen permission to set a date for a public hearing, raising concerns about the developer's intentions to pay the district a full tax burden after 10 years' time.
Instead, members of the school board agreed to meet with Mr. Hoegen and other representatives of the project before next month's school board meeting to better understand the project.
The board will vote on whether to allow Mr. Hoegen to publish an advertisement at next month's meeting.
Business consultant Al Melone said the district has been burned in the past by businesses that earned tax assistance from the district, then left before they were required to pay full taxes.
"We get rolled," Mr. Melone said. "It's an exit plan. These gray hairs know it's an exit plan."
School Board President Anthony Guariglia shared Mr. Melone's concerns.
"If we get something in black and white, then I don't think we're going to have a problem," he said. "I'd love to see something on that property, but I'm going to watch out for the taxpayers."
In other business, the board appointed Adam Burdett as jazz band director at a stipend of $3,251 and James Gilhooley to a regular part-time cleaning position.

what do you carry on long rides? trying to decide what to carry.
what do you carry on long rides? trying to decide what to carry.
I carry a full length frame pump on all rides.
Just one pump, one system, on all bikes.....always the same.
Last edited by roadfix; 05-05-08 at 06:59 PM.
Co2 is so much more convenient that I always carry it. I do have a mini-pump for "just in case" though.
Minipump CO2 combo with two cartridges. I wouldn't rely on CO2 alone.
I rarely get flats on long rides, generally its glass filled city streets that do the damage, usually slow leaks. If I got a lot of punctures I would probably carry a frame pump.
Used to carry a full-size frame fit pump (and on a 65 cm frame that's FULL-size). They worked well enough to limp home but not much more. Tried a couple mini-pumps and found them completely usesless, even for 35psi mtb tires. Never bothered with CO2 - the environmental issues of the empty cartridges were a bit much. Now I use a Topeak Road Morph. This is without question the best frame pump I have ever used. True, it looks a bit dorky on the bike, but when it comes down to inflating a tire, the only pump I've found to work better is a Silca Pista floor pump. 100+psi? No sweat. Literally. And, when you're in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night on a 600-1200k brevet, the "limping home on a soft tire" approach just is not an option. As stated above, it's somewhat aesthetically challenged, and weighs more than a Silca Impero, but if you want to get your tire up to full pressure reliably and with minimal effort and zero environmental impact, the Road Morph is the way to go.
+1 for the Road Morph. I have the Road Morph G with the cheesy built-in pressure gauge. It's not the greatest gauge in the world, but it's just (barely) good enough that it saves me the trouble of getting out the real gauge.
I use the Topeak Road Morph. It won't fit into my front or rear bags, so I mounted in on the cage nuts under the down tube. This exposes it to front wheel crud. I used a 1-1/2 inch piece of clear shrink wrap packaging film, heat sealed the pump into the film, and secured it to the mount using the Velcro tie. In 3,500 miles of long distance riding on Ruffy Tuffy tires, I have yet to use the pump but it's there if I need it.
Mini-pump & CO2.
I've had occassion to give away my CO2 to a fellow cyclist who needed it. It was good peace of mind to know I still had the pump if I needed it.
'04 Bianchi Giro
'05 Bianchi Virata
'08 Electra Straight 8 Cruiser
You can make it home with a minipump, but they do require an awful lot of pumping, and unless you're Hercules, you won't be riding home at your usual tire pressure, that's for sure. CO2 is convenient, but I don't think cyclists should be adding to more disposal of unnecessary garbage. My favourite pump was a Zefal HPX. All that being said, I carry a Blackburn Airstick minipump for my around town riding. The Airstik has always gotten me home. I always loved the look of a traditional Silca, but you really don't want to be forced to use a pump with a head that doesn't lock onto the valve.
Personally, I think that if you "commute" by bike, it's a little hypocritical to be using CO2 cartridges for pumping tires.
I just use a mini-pump but always take a schrader/presta converter with me (they are only tiny) so I can fill up to max pressure at a gas station if need be.
Another +1 for the Road Morph.
Fits nicely in the side pocket of my h'bar bag, or the elastic loops under my seat wedge when I don't need the front bag.
"I feel like my world was classier before I found cyclocross."
- Mandi M.
I looked at the road morph, but it was too big for the bag I was using at the time, so I got the mini morph instead. I'm a big fan. On my commuter it goes in the pannier with everything else, and on my road bike I have it mounted on the bottom of the down tube, like sringlee mentioned above, with a bag rubber-banded over the top to keep out water and crud.
It's not totally ideal for the commuter, because a 26x1.6 tire holds enough air that it takes a lot of strokes. It's not too difficult, but it gets old. For the road bike, though, with 700x23c tires, it works great. Many things pissed me off about getting a flat this weekend in cold, driving rain when I'd ditched my jacket because I thought the rain was over, but the pump was a bright spot. Got up to full pressure with very little work.
frame pump - i don't trust CO2 cartridges (e.g. they'll run out), plus they'd generate more trash than i'm willing to deal with.
+1 on the Topeak Road Morph G
On my 52cm Long Haul Trucker, it fits nicely in the unused space between my seat post and my rear wheel.

Exactly. But at least in my neighborhood, the average rider will spend ten minutes on the side of the road just fiddling with tire levers, inspecting the tire, and examining the tube with a microscope before even beginning to pump it back up.
So I guess if you don't give a **** about the other people in your group, a frame pump is just fine.
I'm amazed at the complaints about a mini pump and the time to inflat. I can get about 70 lbs of pressure in two minutes and well over 90 lbs in five.
My road bikes are both sleek looking and I hate the look of pumps cluttering up the design. I also carry a couple CO2 cartridges when I flat with a group and need to fix the flat quickly
You're just trying to start an argument to show how smart you are.
Guess I'm ADD, but five minutes is a PITA as far as I'm concerned -- especially when Co2 gets the same results in about 5 seconds. And I don't have to wear out my wimpy bike rider arms!
Each to his own, of course.
I have been using a Zorin Postpump for the last month or so. I like it a lot. It is a seatpost with a pump inside it. It inflates faster than my road morph. Only downside is you have to remove the seatpost to use it, but that adds no more than a minute to the whole operation.
Topeak Road Morph +1
blackburn frame pump AND co2........does the job no matter what!
Mistakes are just fine. Just don't make excuses....
If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
Also tried mini pump, would have to work my but off to get the tires to the pressure I wanted.
I switched to a frame pump (Topeak Road Morph G), never looked back CO2 system and mini pump, now sit on a shelf collecting dust.

London Has Fallen (2016)
London Has Fallen SynopsisThe sequel to the worldwide smash hit Olympus Has Fallen, a non-stop, suspenseful action thriller that delivers high-octane excitement through a heightened sense of authenticity. The visceral intensity springs from a timely premise: after the British Prime Minister passes away, his funeral becomes a target of a terrorist organization to destroy some of the worlds most powerful leaders, devastate the British capital, and unleash a terrifying vision of the future. The only hope of stopping it rests on the shoulders of the President of the United States (Aaron Eckhart) and his formidable Secret Service head (Gerard Butler), and an English MI-6 agent (Charlotte Riley) who rightly trusts no one. Morgan Freeman also stars as the Vice President of the United States.
