The present invention relates to an integrated digital x-ray diagnostic system and a method for conducting dental radiography which includes optimizing exposure settings based on certain physical parameters of a patient, communicating the operational status of the x-ray generator and the exposure settings directly to a CCD sensor without radiation sensitive detector elements, and supplying various viewing stations with image data thereby improving dental office workflow.
Digital image detectors, such as CCD sensors used in conventional video cameras, have been adapted to be x-ray sensitive elements in dental x-ray applications. For the past few decades, CCD sensors have been established as a leading technology in high-performance digital x-ray imaging. Unlike matrix-addressed sensors like amorphous silicon panels and CMOS imagers, CCD sensors read out their signal by transporting charge packets across their silicon substrate. The advantages of using a CCD sensor in conjunction with a typical digital x-ray diagnostic system often include high resolution and sensitivity, low noise and reduced radiation loads. Examples of inventions using CCD-type sensors in dental environments are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,513,252, 5,784,429, and 6,002,742.
Methods and devices used for triggering the activation and/or deactivation of the x-ray generator used in connection with a CCD sensor vary widely in the art. Generally, most dental x-ray diagnostic systems used today incorporate sensing elements disposed in or around the CCD image sensor. These configurations allowed companies to manufacture just the x-ray sensing components of the system, and then sell those components to dentists, who would then combine them with x-ray generation units already installed in the dental offices. Such a componentized approach reduced the cost of the new equipment and therefore may have facilitated the overall industry shift from film-based radiography to digital diagnostics. It has also, however, led to significant technical limitations in the art.
In one known arrangement, one or more supplementary x-ray sensing elements are located close to the imaging area to detect the start and end of the x-ray pulse. Such an arrangement is disclosed in Crosetto, et al, U.S. Pat. No. 5,331,166. A signal is sent from the supplementary sensing element to the control circuitry of the image sensor to control image acquisition. The use of supplementary sensing elements adds size and complexity to the image sensor arrangement. The supplementary sensing elements also have to cover a significant part of the image area to minimize the risk of being shaded by a dense part of the object to be imaged.
In another arrangement, Sayag, et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,510,623, the image sensor itself is continuously read out while waiting for exposure. The signal, either from one pixel or summed from many pixels, is compared to a fixed or variable threshold to determine the onset of radiation. This method as used with, for example, CCD sensors, requires shifting of the image along the sensor. The disadvantage of this method is the need of precise amplitude and timing for the shifting clocks in order to avoid loss of signal and image smearing.
Nelvig, U.S. Pat. No. 6,002,742, describes an arrangement where, in one embodiment, in-coming radiation is sensed by the use of several sensing diodes positioned at the back of the CCD device. Once radiation is sensed, the x-ray source is triggered to deactivate. In another embodiment, the CCD itself acts as the sensing medium by utilizing a multitude of charging pixel capacitors within the CCD device itself. However, both Nelvig embodiments require clocking the CCD cell by a logic device to determine the length and dose of the radiation. Additionally, both embodiments do not utilize customized exposure times calculated based on varying categories of teeth (i.e. incisors, canines, pre-molars and molars), and most importantly, varying anatomies of the patient (adult or child). This lack of tailored exposure settings may increase the risk of over-exposing children.
Schick, et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,912,942, and Schick et al., U.S. Pat. No. 6,069,935, a continuation of the former, describe an x-ray detector with a scintillator that converts the x-ray energy into an electrical signal by using CMOS active pixel array sensor. Using CMOS sensors allows simple, low cost and low power solutions. The main disadvantages are the lower dynamic range, high pattern noise, lower resolution, high dark current and fair quantum efficiency compared with the CCD image sensors.
Finally, all of the above arrangements require the CCD to be in a perpetual charged state because they are in constant anticipation of incoming radiation. The charged CCDs lead to heightened noise accumulation along an unregulated exposure integration cycle, which detrimentally affects the quality of the resultant image.
Methods for displaying digital images after they have been captured have also taken many forms in the known art. Generally, a personal computer electronically attached to the image sensor itself or to an image processing unit is the most commonly employed technique in the art. Typically, a display computer is placed in a separate office where it can be manipulated away from the x-ray source so as to limit the amount of radiation exposure experienced by dental office employees. There are also provisions for presenting images on a display located adjacent a dentist's chair, facilitating viewing of the captured x-ray image(s) by doctor and patient alike. This arrangement typically involves an additional presentation/processing unit, as indicated above, located out of range of the x-ray source. However, there are obvious drawbacks in having stationary and remote display arrangements, the most evident being the disruption in the efficiency of dental office workflow. Before an image can be viable for diagnosis, or in the latter case, presented to a patient, the image must be digitally manipulated for precision, clarity and resolution. As a consequence, the x-ray technician is forced to take several additional steps in obtaining an adequate image. Generally, the technician first activates the x-ray source from a control room usually outfitted with radiation attenuating materials. A display unit, depending on the individual office configuration, may or may not be situated in the same x-ray control room. In any case, the technician is forced to leave the control post, operate the display unit, usually a personal computer, and retrieve and adjust the digital image. In many instances, however, the first take does not suffice, requiring the technician to repeat the procedure until a usable image is obtained. This process leads to inefficiencies and decreased productivity in the dental office, as well as increased exposure of patients to x-radiation.
Therefore, a need exists for a practical digital x-ray system and method of application in which radiation sensing elements disposed in or about a CCD sensor are no longer required. A need also exists for a system and method of obtaining dental radiographs without exposing young patients to superfluous radiation. Finally, a need exists for a system and method for providing technicians with the ability to capture, view, and manipulate digital radiographs without having to leave their post.
It is thus an object of the present invention to provide an integrated digital x-ray system for dental radiography which overcomes the drawbacks of the prior art.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an integrated digital x-ray system which provides electronic signal transduction of the exposure settings of the x-ray source, thereby eliminating the need for radiation sensors disposed in or about the image detector and substantially increasing the quality of the x-ray images as a result of a reduction of noise accumulating in the detector prior to the activation of the x-ray source.
It is yet another object of the invention to provide a system and method for taking digital radiographs whereby pre-determined exposure times are provided to the system based on certain characteristics of a patient's anatomy, thereby tailoring the exposure to the particular patient.
It is still another object of the invention to provide a system and method of displaying the processed x-ray images in accordance with the invention to allow technicians to efficiently capture, view and manipulate the images without having to leave their post, thereby increasing the productivity and workflow efficiency of the dental office.
According to the present invention, there is provided an integrated digital x-ray diagnostic system and a method for conducting dental radiography which includes optimizing exposure settings based on certain physical parameters of a patient, communicating the operational status of the x-ray generator and the exposure settings directly to an image sensor, preferably a CCD (Charged-Coupled Device), without the need for radiation sensitive detector elements or for numerous viewing stations to view image data.
Such an integrated digital x-ray diagnostic system provides an x-ray source for generating x-rays, and a source control unit connected to the x-ray source which controls the operation of the x-ray source and communicates the exposure settings of the x-ray source. A control panel is operated by a technician, thus providing the exposure settings to the source control unit. An image sensor is positioned opposite the x-ray source for receiving x-radiation passed through a patient and for delivering an analog output x-ray image of the patient. A sensor processor is coupled to the image sensor for receiving the analog output x-ray image from the image sensor and interfacing with the source control unit for receiving the exposure settings of the x-ray source. The invention also includes a converter for converting the analog output x-ray image received from the image sensor to a digital format image. The digital format image is then stored. A calibrator is also supplied for determining the x-ray exposure settings based on certain physical parameters of the patient. Finally, the invention may include a series of display units, one being preferably arranged on the control panel for viewing and manipulating the received digital images in real time.
Various other features, objects, and advantages of the invention will be made apparent to those skilled in the art from the accompanying drawings and detailed description thereof.
The present invention discloses a system and method for efficiently integrating x-ray generation and detection techniques. The system provides the ability to calculate and communicate the optimal radiation settings of a certain category and opacity of tooth in consideration of the specific physical anatomy of the subject patient. The system provides an arrangement whereby each component is electronically coupled to its corresponding functional mate providing for efficient signal transduction and communication of the exposure times to both the image sensor and x-ray source thereby coordinating their respective activities without the need for separate radiation sensing components. The system further provides the ability to view and manipulate the captured images at the point of x-ray source initiation.
In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that these specific details are not required in order to practice the present invention. In other instances, well known structures such as electronic connections are shown in block diagram form in order not to obscure the present invention.
Referring now to
As indicated above, the source control unit 6 is operably engaged to the x-ray source 4 and is electronically coupled to both the control panel 12 and the image processor 10. The control panel 12, in one embodiment, generates pre-determined exposure parameters and information, including time and intensity (hereinafter, "settings") that permit the synchronization of the operation of the x-ray source 4 and the image sensor 8. The control panel 12 is equipped with control buttons 16 for manual entry of exposure settings based on a library of exposure settings determined to be optimal for a certain category of tooth and physical anatomy of the patient 3. The control panel 12 is usually placed in an area or room provided with radiation attenuating properties. Once the source control unit 6 receives the exposure settings, it simultaneously redirects the settings to both the x-ray source 4 and the image processor 10. The image processor 10 then transmits the exposure settings to the image sensor 8, causing the image sensor 8 to charge in anticipation of the activation of the x-ray source 4.
The image sensor 8 is positioned opposite the x-ray source 4 and detects two-dimensionally an x-ray image, as the x-rays pass through the patient 3, as a slit image which is vertically elongated. The image sensor 8 then converts the image into electrical signals. A well-known x-ray image sensor 8 such as a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) or a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Silicon) sensor is preferably used to capture the image. The image sensor 8 preferably includes a scintillator, which converts an x-ray into visible light, and a semiconductor device, which converts an image formed on the scintillator into electrical signals with a high sensitivity. The advantage in having the image sensor 8 receive an exposure signal lies in the fact that conventional CCD devices need to be in a charged state so that they are in constant readiness for incoming radiation. The use of CCDs in such a perpetual state of charge leads to increased noise accumulation along an unregulated exposure integration cycle, which detrimentally affects the quality of the resultant image. By receiving a signal as to when the x-ray source 4 is to be activated, along with the information as to the length of exposure and any other information comprising the settings, the image sensor 8 is able to provide the best quality images requiring neither perpetual charging nor radiation sensing elements disposed about the sensor.
The image processor 10 receives the analog output signal generated by the image sensor 8 through line connection 9, converts the output into a digital value for each image pixel, and formats the digital pixels into a digital image format. Preferably, the image processor 10 is a personal computer equipped with mass storage to store data and display the images on a monitor. The image processor 10 also has a built-in modem, wireless or wired network interface, or other communication device capable of transmitting the digital images to a remote location for inspection of the images. Conversion and manipulation of the images obtained using the system of the present invention is controlled by a software program in the image processor 10, preferably a digital detection software program, designed in the preferred embodiment to operate in the Microsoft Windows� environment but not excluding other operating systems as Linux�, Unix�, or Palm�, among others. Manipulation functions may include, but are not limited to, the modification of the displayed contrast, magnification of the displayed image, digital stretching, sharpening of the image, point-to-point measurements, annotation of the image, storage and retrieval of stored images, and correction of the orientation of the image to correct for differing operating positions of the image sensor 8. In the preferred embodiment as shown in
As indicated above, presentation unit 14 is also shown in
An arrangement which incorporates a PDA-type device provides portability of the displayed image, supplying the technician with the ability to physically transfer the diagnosis quality radiograph anywhere the dentist is located at any given moment. Additionally, the control panel 24 can be networked to other computers via any suitable network or communications interface (e.g. wired or wireless Ethernet or USB). This arrangement allows the technician to transfer images to remote computers where they can be additionally modified or stored in a standard database or a specific patient's file.
Image processor software similar in features and functions to those described above for the image processor 10 may be provided in the control panel 24 to provide manipulation functions including but not limited to modifying the displayed contrast, adjusting the magnification and brightness of the displayed image, and sharpening of the image. A set of function buttons 16, preferably located beside the display panel 17, are used to access some of the processing features of the control panel 24. These function buttons 16 may allow the technician to manually enter a known exposure setting, which may then be reflected in the digital number display 21 adjacent to additional function buttons 19, which allow a user to change certain parameters. The control panel 24 may also include a series of parameter buttons 23, 31, 25, including one 23 for a selection panel 27 representing each category and orientation of tooth types to be irradiated. Another parameter button 25, which corresponds to selection panel 29, may be used to enter the physical size of the patient, or to select a size from a list provided. The technician, depending on which category of tooth is to be examined, enters a specific tooth anatomy from the listed selection panel 27 by selecting the desired category and orientation as indicated on the panel. Similarly, depending on the physical maturity of the patient, the technician may use a parameter button to select one of the available patient sizes on selection panel 29. A calibrator, preferably in software, is supplied with the control panel 24 to calculate the optimal exposure times based on the entered anatomical parameters. This calibration software matches the entered exposure parameters to a library of known optimal exposure ranges saved in the control panel database. There may also be an operation mode button 31 that controls the status of the control panel 24 by providing a set of alternative condition modes 33. Preferably, the condition modes include: 1) a "display mode," depicted in

Thus, by use of the present invention, efficient x-ray generation is achieved without pre-integration of charge in the image sensor 47, nor with over-exposure risks associated with known dental radiography techniques. This efficiency solves a problem which will be described with respect to
In current digital x-ray radiographic systems, noise performance is limited based on a number of factors, one important one being the manner in which the sensor detects the x-radiation. Generally, the incoming x-radiation is converted to visible light and then is applied to silicon structure of either a CMOS or CCD sensor. The light changes the charge of the small virtual capacitors within the silicon structure, and this charge is then transferred and transformed into an electrical signal. To be successful, this process requires initial "cleaning" of the signal charge in the silicon structure. Referring now to
The provision of the digital processors and storage by this invention permits another important benefit. Given that the amount of radiation received by the sensor can be known, and the amount of radiation emitted by the x-ray source can be known, it can then be calculated how much exposure a particular patient is receiving any time an x-ray is taken. This exposure information can then be stored for that patient over time, enabling a health care provider to maintain a long term record of x-ray exposure for each patient.
From the foregoing, it can be appreciated that the present invention reliably provides for the accomplishment of the objects of the invention and does so in a particularly simple and economical manner. It is recognized, of course, that those skilled in the art may make various modifications or additions to the preferred embodiments chosen to illustrate the invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention itself. Accordingly, it is to be understood that the invention should be deemed to extend to the subject matter claimed and all equivalents thereof fairly within the scope of the claims.

It's pure heaven. Made this many times myself, but lost the recipe a couple of years ago. Thank goodness for the internet!! For even better flavour leave for a day after making it...it almost tastes alcoholic. A decadent delight.
I was going to post this recipe from the Woman's Weekly, but found it here. I've made this beautiful cake/dessert many times, and although it looks complicated trust me it's not! I wouldn't make it if it was! It's rich but the strawberries cut through that, and it's a great holiday or celebration cake.

Police Officers Can Testify on Victim's Description of Attacker, High Court Rules
On Tuesday, New York's highest court ruled that police officers can testify about a victim's description of a perpetrator.
The Court of Appeals decision addressed not just the purpose, but the potential unintended effects of allowing such evidence.
On one side, the police account helps demonstrate the reliability of the victim's identification of the assailant immediately after the crime. On the other side, the mere act of officers repeating a witness statement may prejudice jurors into giving the identification more weight than it may deserve. The six-justice majority concluded that the testimony is admissible, with the subjective caveat that "it does not tend to mislead the jury."
"Evidence as to how a witness described the offender when the witness's memory was fresh is much more likely to advance than to hinder accurate fact-finding," Judge Robert Smith wrote for the majority.

See Also: High Court Orders New Trial for Man Convicted of Killing Bouncer
The ruling stemmed from a robbery case. Two men robbed Hector Velez. Velez described the assailants to the responding officers, noting that one of the men wore a white shirt.
Velez later identified that man as Torrel Smith, who was eventually convicted for the crime.
In security footage of the robbery, however, "the man alleged to be the defendant is wearing a blueish-gray shirt," Smith wrote. "Velez testified that, before he saw the video, he realized that his description of the shirt was in error, and corrected it."
At trial, two officer gave brief testimonies recalling Velez's original description of the robbers. In Smith's appeal, his attorney argued that these accounts "improperly bolstered" Velez's testimony.
Judge Jenny Rivera, the sole dissenter, agreed with this position, writing that the officers' statements "give the appearance of an exaggerated amount of evidence in support of the victim's identification."
See Also: High Court Upholds Upstate Judge Glen George's Dismissal for Favoring Friends in Court
The majority acknowledged this danger.
"We have warned," Smith wrote, "that the admission of prior consistent statements may, by simple force of repetition, give to a jury an exaggerated idea of the probative force of a party's case."
But the risk does not apply in this case, they ruled, for the same reason the officer testimony does not constitute as hearsay.
"It is admitted not for the truth or accuracy of the prior description, but as 'evidence that assists the jury in evaluating the witness's opportunity to observe at the time of the crime, and the reliability of her memory at the time of the corporeal identification,'" Smith wrote, citing the language of a 1990 precedent establishing "that a crime victim could testify to her own description of her attacker, given to the police shortly after the crime."
This ruling clarified the scope of that precedent.
"The issue here is whether the rule ... is limited to a witness's account of his or her own previous statement," said Smith. "We see nothing to justify such a limitation."
See Also: High Court Vacates Upstate Rape Conviction Because of Confusion Over What Defines "Lack of Consent"
"The brief recitation by two officers of Velez's description of a man who robbed him was not likely to give the jury the false impression that there was an impressive amount of testimony corroborating Velez's account," Smith continued.
The majority, however, asserted that their ruling was based on the specifics of this particular case and not meant as an umbrella that necessarily justifies all such testimony.
"Our holding today should not be interpreted as giving carte blanche to the presentation of redundant police testimony that accomplishes no useful purpose," the decision stated. "A court retains discretion to exclude evidence of prior consistent statements when it reasonably finds that evidence to be more prejudicial than probative."

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Prostate Cancer (cont.)
What is Hormone Therapy?
Prostate cells are physiologically dependent on male hormones called androgens. Androgens cause hormonal stimulation of the prostate cancer cells causing them to grow, function, and proliferate. Testosterone, although not directly carcinogenic, is essential for the growth and perpetuation of tumor cells. The testes are the source of most androgens. The goal of hormonal therapy is to lower levels of testosterone or to stop testosterone from working. This can be achieved with surgery or with drug treatment. Often, the initial response is good, but cancer may progress over time.
Androgen deprivation therapy: This therapy is likely to be used in cases in which the cancer has spread to distant regions. Therefore, it is not currently used among the standard options for men with localized prostate disease. It may be added to surgery and radiation in cases at high risk for relapse due to high Gleason score and/or positive surgical margins.

I just used the Duplicator plugin to duplicate my wordpress site. I then removed all the content from the duplicate site that I made, which is also running on a different unrelated URL and I started making a new site from it with new content that is different than the original.
The problem is all my subscribers and stats from my original site are still tied to this new site. When I post stuff on this new site people on my old site are receiving email notifications about the new posts now from a new site they did not actually subscribe to.
What can I do to fix this and to prevent this from happening when I duplicate another site in the future?
Subscribers are getting upset with me and I need to get this resolved quickly.

Family tragedy: Man who shot brother sobs with remorse
He told the deputy he had some drinks that night — two mixed drinks and maybe a couple of beers. He submitted to a blood draw four hours later. His blood alcohol level was .06.
Cameron Charlton died at the scene from a gunshot wound to the head, said Dr. Julie Adams, assistant Utah medical examiner. She testified the weapon would have been touching the skin when it was discharged.
Defense attorney Susanne Gustin called two defense witnesses, including James Gaskill, who directed the Weber State University crime laboratory for 24 years. He said it was possible the weapon had not have been pressed hard against the head, but could have come in close contact before or after the weapon was shot.
Justin Bechaver, who works in the firearm section in the state crime lab, said the gun did not appear to have any inherent issue that would cause it to misfire or accidentally discharge.
"The gun works as is designed," he said. "The safeties are all intact."
John Luthy, Charlton's platoon sergeant in the Marines and a weapons instructor, said Charlton was a mortar man in the Marines and would have had little handgun training. What training he did have was on a Berretta, which was quite different from the Springfield 1911 semiautomatic pistol Charlton had that night.
Still, when it came to loading magazines, "He was trained to slam it home," Luthy said.
Bechaver testified that on the Springfield pistol, applying a lot of force to the magazine as it is loaded could cause it to slide into the battery of the weapon and load a bullet into the chamber. It did so about one-third of the time when he tested it, he testified.
"Our position here is not that Mr. Charlton intentionally fired this weapon at his brother," Juab County Attorney Jared Eldridge said. "Our position is he handled that firearm in such a reckless manner that it caused the death of his brother."
Gustin countered that what was described in court didn't meet what the state statute requires in showing recklessness, because it didn't show that Charlton "actually perceived the risk and consciously disregarded it."
The courtroom was packed, with spectators standing and filling the jury box. A number of Cameron's friends attended, many wearing homemade white and blue ties with his nickname, "Cam Bam," written on them. He would have been a senior at Fremont High School this year.
Charlton's family, who also struggled throughout the hearing, stood behind Charlton. His father hugged him during a court break and his wife and mother held his hands as he left court.
"They are behind Eric 100 percent," Gustin said. "They've lost Cameron, they don't want to lose Eric. They don't want to lose another son. ... This was a horrible accident."
Charlton, of West Haven, is charged with manslaughter, a second-degree felony, reckless endangerment, a class A misdemeanor, and carrying a dangerous weapon under the influence of alcohol or drugs, a class B misdemeanor. Brady said he will take the case under advisement and issue a written ruling, but did not give a timeframe.

still very manipulated stock.
You don't know anything, son. There have been numerous occasions in the past where the stock has moved up significantly after earnings.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
you never know. They have shown great potential, delivered and the stock goes up then comes down. Good news is higher lows and higher highs. I do think we are a little different this year than last year. More investors, stronger positions and if they can deliver 2.5 -3 cents a share per qtr 10-12 cents this year we will see well into the 2 dollar range and hold..
If it dives, it will be after an initial pop.

Reviews for Creamy Butternut Soup
"My family loved this soup. I have now made it several times."
"My family loved this- left out the garlic. Great for lunch on a cold winter day. Topped with croutons. Will save recipe on Pinterest!"
"So creamy and yummy."
"This is a family favorite!!!!"
"Recipe was very easy to make. We loved the consistency of the soup and the subtle mild flavor. Sour cream enhanced the flavor. I used a butternut squash; but I'll try buttercup next time which I think will give it more flavor."
"I loved the simplicity of this recipe, but my husband and I thought it was completely void of flavor. I tried the brown sugar and nutmeg that another reviewer suggested. I even dumped in some black pepper. We still didn't like it."
"I must have made a different soup but no one in my family would eat."
"really good and easy to make."
"Perfect consistency. I also add 1/4 tsp. nutmeg and about 3 Tbsp. brown sugar. The flavor is enhanced if you use roasted squash and simply blend it in with the potato mixture. To quickly blend, I use a hand blender right in the dutch oven."
"Very Yummy..Filling and low cal...."
"So delicious! Would definitely recommend this and I will make it again! Thank you!"
"This soup was very good with a mild flavor. I will make it again."
"This recipe is very good, definitely I will remake it over and over for Fall and Thanksgiving and perhaps even Christmas."

works great
By Maria
from Connecticut
very easy to use, covers spider veins and light cellulitis dimples (yes, cellulitis!) trick is to apply moisturizer first, then warm up a bit of cream in my hands and apply in quick strokes. I removed the sponge, not working well. applying with warm hands on moisturized legs works the best
The Best Ever!

I've tried a gazillion products, none have worked as well.
Not satisfied
By SC Gram
from SC
I had difficulty applying this product as the foam applicator disintegrated before finishing one leg. It appears the product is too thick to apply correctly. Haven't tried taking it all apart to see if adding water would work.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Not just for legs
By GeeGee
from Atlanta, GA
I like the look this product gives your legs. Personally the look of wearing hose is one that I appeals to me. Before I tried it on my legs I tried it out on my granddaughters Barbie dolls They had marks from red marker pens. I was pleasant surprised to see how it covered them. I had to make 2 applications but it did a great job!
Product works well, applicator not so much. Still happy

Grainy when applying like sponge is falling apart. However once blended with fingers it covers really well.

The Smithsonian Institution expects to spend $8.7 million to engage in digitization, social media, mobile and Web efforts in fiscal 2012, according to an agency official.
That represents roughly a $500,000 increase to be spent on those efforts this fiscal year, in comparison to fiscal 2011, Linda St. Thomas, a Smithsonian spokeswoman, said on Jan. 12 in an interview with Federal Computer Week.

Smithsonian CTO shares tips on using new media tools
This is the first year that the Smithsonian's budget report to the Office of Management and Budget has created a line item for digitization, which shows an increase to $8.7 million, from $8.2 million in fiscal 2011. Comparisons to additional prior years are not available, she said.
"We have been digitizing for years, but now we are putting it in a separate category," St. Thomas said. Most of the funding goes for salaries, she added.
The digitization and new media account is tied to the Smithsonian's strategic plan, which calls for broader access to collections, exhibitions and outreach programs. The goal is to help accomplish the broader access through digitization of collections, new media and use of social media networking tools.
Of the total year-by-year increase in the fund, $400,000 is allocated for digitizing collections and $100,000 for Web and new media projects.
In recent months, the Smithsonian's new media projects have included Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, blogs, mobile, podcasts and virtual reality.
For example, the Smithsonian has worked with Google to illuminate details in 100 paintings from the Freer collection. It collaborated with Facebook and Pheon.org for a museum-based game, and with Second Life to create an avatar-based virtual environment.
Overall, Congress provided $811.5 million to the Smithsonian for fiscal 2012, which was $52 million more than the fiscal 2011 appropriation of $760 million.
Congress appeared to be compensating for the drop in the museum agency's budget last year, from $762 million in fiscal 2010.
The fiscal 2009 allocation was $756 million, including $25 million that came through the economic stimulus law.
The Smithsonian operates 19 museums, the National Zoo and nine research institutes.
