It has taken a long time to figure out how to keep the liners clean, colorless, and not stinky. In the morning, daily, I wipe them out gently with a a toothbrush to get the mouth slime out of the narrow spots. Then I soak them for 5 minutes (no longer) in an antibacterial mouthwash, then 5 minutes (no longer) in white vinegar. I keep the solutions in small jars and just replace them weekly. I don't have any food or drink contact the liners in my mouth, except water. I am fanatic about rinsing them immediately every time I take them out of my mouth, again to keep the mouth slime from hardening. Finally, 7 days after I start using a set, I use them to hold a peroxide tooth whitening solution. This ritual keeps them with no color and no smell.
Other advise--I put new liners on at bedtime and sleep through the discomfort of those first hours.
I am DELIGHTED with how much my teeth have changed over the last 10 months!

Now that was $20,000 well spent — or was it?
When council decided it wanted to seek outside legal advice to examine all documents relating to agreements between the town and the Molinaro Group that was their prerogative. And now that in-house legal advice from town solicitor Heather Salter and the third-party review conducted by Toronto law firm Aird and Berlis have been made public, one thing — make that two — have become clear.
Salter apparently knows what she is talking about and town coffers are short $20,000.
In the Salter report, councillors were told they had two options when it comes to the Crystal Beach Gateway Project, either take steps to proceed with it or take steps to stop it. Aird and Berlis took matters a step further by introducing a third option — renegotiating with the Molinaro Group on a revised project.
Sounds a lot like something Ward 6 Coun. Paul Collard had been advocating. So nothing new there.
Both reports agreed, no matter what the town did, it would come with a price tag. Funding for a challenge of the Fort Erie Waterfront Preservation Association's leave of appeal request to overturn the Ontario Municipal Board's approval of the Bay Beach project could be $10-$20,000 according to the Aird and Berlis report and $10,000 according to Salter.
If the town were to back out of the deal, Salter said the town would have to set aside $100,000 a year for the next three years for legal expenses alone. That's not even account for any damages the Molinaro Group may seek should the deal be scuttled. Even if the town were to win, Salter said it could only expect to see 60 per cent of its costs covered. If the Molinaro Group won the legal battle, damages could be in the millions according to Salter. Director of Finance Helen Chamberlain concurred, adding that council would need to find a source for $1.2 million in funding for each of the next three years. Adding the first $1.2 million to the general levy would mean a 6.9 per cent tax hike.
Aird and Berlis, meanwhile, was more general legal costs would be in "the six figure range and rising depending on the parties, issues and complexity of the matter."
It kind of sounds to me like Salter knows her stuff.
To these eyes, there were no real surprises, well, at least until I saw a copy of written questions for Salter from Ward 3 Coun. Bob Steckley and Ward 5's Don Lubberts.
Steckley asked legitimate questions concerning that would help him better understand the language of the contracts. He wanted to know if the Memorandum of Understanding, The Purchase and Sale Agreement or the Community Benefits Agreement contained language that would be considered an out clause.
It's a different story for Lubberts. With an acrimonious atmosphere permeating council chambers these days — especially when the gateway project an operational review are on the agenda — what is in most cases a simple qualifying question takes on a darker tone.
I quote:
"What is your own litigation experience? How many cases have you tried in Ontario Courts? How many appeals have you argued? If you do not have substantial litigation experience, how can we be assured that your damage estimates are accurate?"
Given the fact that councillors opposed to the project, including Lubberts, sought to have an outside legal review done right off the bat, I hear two things.
1. I question you're qualifications and
2. I will more than likely find any advice you give to be suspect.
Another question shows a basic lack of understanding of how a municipality functions. Again I quote:
"As the town solicitor who represents the Town, how can you represent individual council members whose interests on the Bay Beach issue may differ from that of the Town? Is it not true that Council members have a fiduciary responsibility to the public?"
Again, I hear:
1. I question you're qualifications and
2. I will more than likely find any advice you give to be suspect.
For her part, Salter made the point that she represents the corporation, not councillors.
Interestingly enough, neither Ward 4 Coun. John Hill or Ward 6's Paul Collard even submitted a question.
So was this really $20,000 that was well spent? Given that it appears to have helped stave off what could have become a costly legal battle — win or lose — one would have to say yes.
Was the expenditure needed?
Given the fact that the third-party review only confirmed the town solicitor's advice, the answer has to be no.

A portable choroidal laser Doppler flowmeter (LDF) with enhanced sensitivity based on a scattering plate is developed. The portable LDF is weighted 2 kg operated at center wavelength of 780 nm, leading to a better penetration into the eye fundus in contrast to the previous LDF operated at center wavelength of 670 nm. Enhancement of number of detected photons that undergo Doppler scattering and improved measured speed of choroidal blood flow are achieved with the use of a scattering plate positioned in front of the eye. The mechanism of detection and sensitivity enhancement is theoretically analyzed. Evaluation of system performance is done by in vivo measurements on ten volunteers. The results demonstrate that an increased percentage of backscattering light at high Doppler shift frequency is collected due to utilization of the scattering plate. However, this kind of light detection influences spatial resolution of the system and decreases the total signal measured. The proposed method for detection and sensitivity enhancement might be useful in a case where the perception of very slight alternation of blood flow is pursued and the spatial resolution is not as critical as that in a choroidal vascular bed.
Laser Doppler flowmeter (LDF) is the most widely used method for blood flow measurement because of its noninvasive and noncontact characteristics.1 Several studies of blood flow in human eye fundus using LDF outline the importance of measuring vessel flow properties since it is an early indicator of eye pathologies like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy or age related macular degeneration.2- 8 The principle of LDF is to measure the Doppler frequency shift that light undergoes when reflected by moving objects. Such Doppler frequency shift has also been exploited in optical Doppler tomography with additional benefit of localization along depth.9- 12 Most commercial available LDFs are equipped with a ponderous table and a fixed head holder for patient examination. Such characteristic limits their applications to patients with self-consciousness and self-dependence. For special patients such as new born babies, disabled persons, and patients under intensive care or under operation, ponderous LDFs are not convenient whereas portable LDFs are desirable.13 Furthermore, for clinical applications, it is required that the developed LDF is capable of monitoring blood flow with high sensitivity. However, the usual construction of the commercial ocular LDF device is based on a very small angle restricted by pupil aperture, leading to small Doppler shift due to a near perpendicular direction of incident laser to primary blood flow in choroidal vessels. It limits commercial LDF to detect very slight alternation of choroidal blood flow with high sensitivity.
In this paper, we report a portable choroidal LDF with a scattering plate to enhance its measuring sensitivity. Utilization of the scattering plate causes photons that undergo more scattering events to be detected and the scattering events appear with much larger angles. This leads to broadening of the Doppler shift power density spectrum (DSPDS) and relative higher measured blood flow speed. Redirection capability of the scattering plate and its effect on system performance are theoretically analyzed and experimentally evaluated.
Optical layout of the developed LDF is illustrated in Fig. 1, which consists of a laser Doppler measurement unit (LDF unit), an illumination unit, and an observation unit.
(a) Optical layout and (b) photo of the developed LDF.
The LDF unit is subdivided into laser delivering, signal detection, and sharing paths. The source of the LDF unit in the laser delivering path is a polarized laser diode (LDF-LD, Thorlabs L780P010) at center wavelength of 780 nm. The s-polarized laser beam from the source has a divergence angle of about 30 deg and, hence, two aspheric lenses (LDF-L1 and LDF-L2) are implemented to shrink its divergence enabling enough power to the targeted vessels. After reflection by a polarization beam splitter (LDF-beam splitter), the light goes to two lenses (LDF-L3 and LDF-L4), and is then redirected to the sharing path by a dichroic beam splitter (SP-beam splitter). An accommodation lens (SP-L1) followed by two lenses (SP-L2 and SP-L3) in the sharing path is adopted for patients with myopia or hypermetropia. The delivered laser spot at the position of the cornea is about 2 mm in diameter with an output power of less than 150 μW, which is safe for continuous examination of 20 min according to ANSI Z136.1. Backscattered light from the target retraces the light path of the delivering light until the signal detection path is separated by the LDF-beam splitter, where the transmitted light with p-polarization owing to birefringence of the cornea and other components is collected by a fiber pigtailed avalanche photon detector (APD). The detected signal is then amplified for further processing.
The illumination unit is constructed by replacing the halogen bulb in a KOWA camera with a green-light LED (IU-LED) at 530 nm. The maximum output power is 10 mW and can be modified by adjusting the current feeding to the IU-LED.
Besides optical components in the sharing path mentioned above, the observation unit is constructed by two additional lenses (OU-Ocular and OU-L1) and a targeting plate in between. The targeting plate is located in conjugate to the LDF laser spot on the eye fundus. Under the illumination of IU-LED and with the help of the targeting plate, the observation unit is used to help the operator to adjust the portable LDF for correct positioning of the LDF laser spot on targeted vessels.
The picture of the developed LDF under operation is shown in Fig. 1. The developed LDF is weighted about 2 kg with compact size, suitable to be carried and operated by hand. Such portable LDF is therefore applicable to special patients such as new born babies, disabled persons, and patients under intensive care or even under operation.
In order to explain the mechanism of detection and sensitivity enhancement of the LDF based on the scattering plate, a ray trace model is built to describe the process that the laser transmits from the LDF to the eye fundus and that is scattered by moving red blood cells (RBCs) back to the LDF. As shown in Fig. 2, the model consists of a single blood vessel containing moving RBCs, a convex eye lens with focal length fc and clear aperture radius rc, and a scattering plate between the LDF unit and the eye lens with a distance L away from the latter. Due to the scattering characteristics of the scatting plate, the LDF laser illuminates an area over the choroidal bed where static structures and RBCs moving in random directions and velocities are available. Without loss of generality, only one blood vessel perpendicular to the optics axis of the LDF (dotted-dashed line) with RBCs moving at typical azimuth angle (bold arrow) is assumed. Such an assumption of a blood vessel is just for explanation of the mechanism of sensitivity enhancement and is not a realistic mimic of the vascular vessels in the choroidal vascular bed.
Ray trace model of LDF measurement on the human eye.
A Cartesian coordinate system with origin at the focus of the eye lens is set, where y-axis coincides with the given blood vessel and z-axis along the optics axis of the LDF unit. As shown in Fig. 2, Ii represents an incident ray from the LDF unit illuminating the scattering plate at point (xi, yi, L + fc), and $I_i^\prime $Ii′ is one of the scattering components with a separation angle β corresponding to Ii after transmitting through the scattering plate. When ray $I_i^\prime $Ii′ passes through the eye lens, it is denoted by ray $I_i^{\prime\prime}$Ii′′ and hits the given blood vessel at point (0, y0, 0). Backscattering happens at point (0, y0, 0) and the backscattering intensity is expressed by $I_s = \eta I_i^{\prime\prime}$Is=ηIi′′. Here, uniform back scattering coefficient of ηis assumed because of relatively small numerical aperture of human eye and hence limited scattering angle resulting in insignificant angular intensity changes according to Mie theory. Ray $I_s^\prime $Is′ comes from ray Is after refracted by the eye lens is parallel to ray $I_i^\prime $Ii′ and hits the scattering plate at point (xs, ys, L + fc). Ray $I_s^{\prime\prime}$Is′′ represents one of the scattering components with a deviation angle of θ1 relative to the direction of the ray donated by $I_s^\prime $Is′, and a deviation angle of θ2 relative to the direction of the z-axis. Doppler frequency shift achieved in ray $I_s^{\prime\prime}$Is′′ corresponding to ray Ii based on previous ray tracing is then given by14—16Display Formula
Supposing the incident laser beam from LDF has a Gaussian distribution with maximum intensity of I0 and radius of beam waist equals to rc, the intensity of ray Ii is then determined by$I_i = I_0 \exp [ - \frac{{2x_i ^2 + 2y_i ^2 }}{{r_c ^2 }}]$Ii=I0exp[−2xi2+2yi2rc2]. When light transmits through the scattering plate, the probability distribution (PSHG) of the scattering light versus the scattering angle β can be modeled using the Henyey–Greenstein function17- 18Display Formula
In order to show how the scattering plate influences the measurement results, numerical simulation of P(fd) and ChBSpeed is conducted to evaluate both the change of the DSPDS [P(fd)] curve and the change of ChBSpeed value after the adoption of the scattering plate. The simulation under "normal condition" that the scattering plate is not utilized is achieved as the limit of Eq. 4 when g→1, supposing the redirection capability of the scattering plate can be ignored. The simulation under "scattering condition" after the adoption of the scattering plate uses g = 0.71, which equals the asymmetry factor of the scattering plate in our later experiments. In the simulation under both conditions, fc is chosen to be 17 mm, which equals the effective focal length of the human eye, and L, rc, βmax , and θ2max are set to be 5 mm, 2.5 mm, 25 deg, and 20 deg, respectively.
The curves in Fig. 3 show simulated P(fd) curve under scattering and normal conditions. The RBC's velocity is set to be 10 mm/s in this simulation. Comparing the curve under scattering condition to that under the normal condition, broadening of P(fd) and improved power density of higher Doppler frequency shift can be observed. As the P(fd) curve is broadened and the power density of higher Doppler frequency shift is increased under the scattering condition, the calculated value of ChBSpeed, which corresponds to the first moment of P(fd) divided by its 0th moment, is calculated to be higher due to utilization of the scattering plate. Fig. 3 shows how the value of ChBSpeed changes versus the alternation of the RBC's velocity. The value of ChBSpeed is linear to the RBC's velocity both under normal and scattering conditions. It can be seen that under the scattering condition, the slope of ChBSpeed versus RBC's velocity is increased, and hence the sensitivity of the speed measurement is enhanced.
(a) Simulated curves on P(fd) versus fd at typical assumed flowing velocity and (b) linear fitting curves on estimated values of ChBSpeed versus RBCs' velocity under normal and scattering conditions, respectively.
In order to show how the scattering plate influences the measured results, we also conduct a Monte Carlo simulation in which, comparing to the ray trace model, the single blood vessel is replaced by a simulated choroidal vascular bed. The main part of the simulation code is adopted from "Monte Carlo modeling of light transport in Multilayered tissues,"21 which simulates the photon transports in layers of types of "tissue" and "glass" taking no account of Doppler effect. We modify the code in such a way that it allows us to consider Doppler frequency shift of a scattered photon and direction change of a photon due to a lens. The frequency shift is calculated by the incident and scattered wavenumber vectors of the photon and the velocity vector of the moving particle.15 The lens is modeled as a lens-layer that refracts the direction of passed photons in terms of Gaussian optics.
In our simulation, the scattering plate is modeled as a layer with the thickness t = 2 mm, the anisotropy factor g = 0.71, the scattering coefficient μs = 500 m−1, and the absorption coefficient μa→0. The eye lens is modeled as a lens-layer with the focal length f = 17 mm. The vitreous body is modeled as a glass-layer with refractive index n = 1.336 since its μs and μa are very small. The choroidal vascular bed is modeled as a tissue-layer with t = 0.2 mm, g = 0.87, μs = 1.35×105 m−1, and μa = 6.13×104 m−1.22 The velocity vector of moving RBCs in this layer is determined by three random numbers: the magnitude with normal distribution (mean: 10 mm/s, standard deviation: 3 mm/s), the azimuth angle with uniform distribution (0 ~ 2π), and the elevation angle with normal distribution (mean: 0, standard deviation: π/2). We choose a concentration of 10% as the times-ratio of Doppler scattering over non-Doppler scattering, considering that in the choroidal vascular bed most part of the tissue is static. Under each condition, 2×106 photons are launched. The schematic of the layers is shown in Fig. 4 with the path of a typical photon marked by the dashed line. The simulation results are plotted in log scale in Fig. 4 and normalized by the maximums, where the solid line is the DSPDS under the normal condition and the dotted line is the DSPDS under the scattering condition, improved power density of higher Doppler frequency shift can also be observed. In order to study how the measured signal is influenced by the multiple scattering within the choroid vascular bed, the scattering times both for Doppler and non-Doppler scattering are recorded. The average scattering times are evaluated to be 1.0 and 1.5 for photons contributed to Doppler and non-Doppler scattering, respectively, shown in Fig. 4. It means that most of the photons that are collected by the LDF undergo single scattering instead of multiple scattering with the red blood cells. Hence, the single scattering assumption in the ray trace model depicted in Fig. 2 is valid and multiple backscattering in the choroid vascular bed has a negligible effect on the DSPDS. The same conclusion is obtained in Ref. 23 where there is no scattering plate.

Characteristics of the scattering plate implemented in our experiments is calibrated by a home-made goniometer.24 The measured forward scattering profile is shown in Fig. 5, where corresponding fitted profile based on the Mie theory is also given. From the fitted forward scattering profile, g is estimated to be 0.71. Figures 5 show two pictures taken by the camera located at the position where subjects are situated when the LDF is in operation, demonstrating the light distribution over the targeted area corresponding to normal and scattering conditions. The redirection capability of the scattering plate is confirmed by the enlarged light distribution. However, the drawback on spatial resolution of applying the scattering plate is also demonstrated in Figs. 5.
(a) Forward angular scattering profile of the scattering plate calibrated by a home-made goniometer and fitted by the Mie theory and light spots on targeted area recorded (b) without and (c) with the scattering plate, respectively.
In order to confirm the expectation of the broadening of the DSPDS [P(fd)] and corresponding overestimated ChBSpeed, examinations on ten volunteers subjects were conducted under normal and scattering conditions for comparison. For each subject, three independent examinations were performed with a time interval of half an hour and measurement duration for each examination being 30 s.
Figure 6 presents the measured ChBSpeed for each subject with error bar labeled representing the standard deviation of three independent measurements. Improved values of ChBSpeed are realized for the scattering case in comparison to the normal case due to the increased percentage of received photons at higher Doppler frequency shift. This observation is accordant with our theoretical expectation, confirming that the scattering plate introduces more velocity components to the light direction and the photons undergo more scattering events that can be detected.
Measured values of (a) ChBSpeed on ten subjects and (b) typical DSPDS [P(fd)] curves on one subject under scattering and normal conditions, respectively.
Typical DSPDS [P(fd)] curves measured on one subject under scattering and normal conditions are shown in Fig. 6. Comparing with the curve under the normal condition, the broadening of P(fd) can be observed after the adoption of the scattering plate. The broadening of P(fd) is not exactly the same as simulated by the ray trace model, because the simulation based on the ray trace model uses only one specific vessel to explain the broadening of P(fd). But the actual P(fd) is contributed by vessels with different directions and velocities in the choroidal vascular bed,4 such random directions and velocities lead to different scales of broadening corresponding to different vessels. Even though, the enhancement of the number of detected photons that undergo Doppler scattering can still be considered as accordant with the Monte Carlo simulation result. This characteristic of scattering plate is exploited in the developed LDF for sensitivity enhancement on measuring blood flow speed, although quantitative evaluation on sensitivity enhancement is not feasible due to complex of blood vessels for in vivo experiments.
A portable LDF for in vivo measurement of blood flow in human choroidal vascular bed is developed. Enhancement of the number of detected photons that undergo Doppler scattering and envisioned improved sensitivity of in vivo measurement of choroidal blood flow speed are realized by the use of a scattering plate positioned in front of the eye. The broadening of the DSPDS and enhanced measurement sensitivity of RBCs' speed are explained through theoretical analysis based on the tracing of ray propagation. Enhancement of the number of detected photons that undergo Doppler scattering can be confirmed by Monte Carlo simulation in which the single blood vessel of the ray trace model is replaced by the simulated choroidal vascular bed. Improved performance with the scattering plate is experimentally confirmed based on measurements of ten volunteers. Typical measured DSPDS shows the broadening of the DSPDS as well as improved density of higher Doppler frequency shift. Increased blood flow velocities from in vivo measurements are realized through usage of the scattering plate as expected in theoretical analysis. However, enhanced measurement sensitivity of RBCs' speed is not experimentally apparent due to complex in real situations and can only be envisioned. Nevertheless, light detection with the scattering plate is potentially useful in cases where the detection of very slight alternation in blood flow is pursued and the spatial resolution is not as critical as that in choroidal vascular bed, although it influences spatial resolution of the system and decreases the total signal measured.

Water Heater Question
New to the DIY. We flushed our electric water heater and replaced both elements and thermostats. We are refilling the tank and are not supposed to turn the power back on until is refilled. My question is: Should we be able hear the tank refilling? Upon initially starting to refill, we turned on another hot water valve... it sputtered but then started to run at a normal pressure. My mom is concerned because she can't hear it refilling, should we be able to hear it? Is there a way to test to make sure it is full, so we don't damge the new element?
If you can shut off the water supply to the heater you could open the valve near the bottom of the heater and see if you get a good amount of water coming out.
Water heaters fill pretty quietly.
Open the farthest hot water tub faucet (no aerator to clog) and run it until all of the air is out and it's running a full water flow. Then open all hot water faucets to remove the last of the air in the lines. You can't necessarily hear the tank filling, but you're right, fill it with water before turning on the power or you will fry the element(s).
Oh good, that eases my mind, we will try to drain it a little to test it out. thank you for the response.
Thanks Mike-I opened all the hot water valves in the house and now all are running at a good pressure. I think we are good now, Thanks for the help.
Hallelujah, we have completed this fix. The water IS filling properly, and does fill very quietly and quickly. We actually had to drain it and refill it another two times because we had a small leak around the upper element. In turn we had to take the new element back to the store and exchange it, it was faulty. We have replaced the element and refilled again, no leaks...and we have now restored the hot water. I appreciate you all for your input and help. Thank you very much, WOO~HOO. :thumbup:

measuring for backspacing
I know what backspacing is and how to measure for it on existing wheels, but how do I measure for backspacing without wheels that already fit. I've seen articles on this in CHevy highporfamence and Car Craft, but i lost those issues. I have an 84 monte carlo and i believe my old centerlines had about 3.5" of backspacing. The reason i'm getting new wheels and don't have my old ones to reference from is become some lowlife jerkoff stole mine. Nothing hurts more than having your car violated. any way thanks for the help.
Jack your vehicle up and support it with a good jackstand. Remove the wheel. Place a straightedge against the brakedrum. Measure from the inner edge of the straightedge to the inner fenderwell or anything that the wheel/tire might rub. Example: rubber snubber, shock, etc. Subtract 1" from the measurement. That will be the MAXIMUM backspacing you can use. To figure out how wide a rim you can use: measure from the inner edge of the straightedge to the inner edge of the fender and subtract 1". Add this figure to the one you got for the backspacing and you will know how wide a rim you can fit in the wheelwell. ;)
Thanks for the reply. I hope is measure correctly so I can get the right wheels. I'm replacing the auto drags with the telstars. I will never park my car in an alley next to bar again.
Chris what where the width of you old rims??

A Little Italian in Matakana
Matavino is a small vineyard, nestled on gentle north-facing slopes in the famous Matakana Wine region, about one hour's drive north of Auckland. Our vision is to grow a variety of wines to match the local food and produce. This includes some red Italian grape varieties such as Barbera, Dolcetto and Nebbiolo as well as Viognier and Chardonnay. The vines are hand nurtured by family and friends using sustainable practices. Matavino vineyard was initially planted in September 2006 and the first wines went on sale in October 2010.
The Matavino Cellar Door is open 11am to 5pm Saturdays & Sundays from Labour Weekend(end of October) until Easter, and possibly other times by phoning 021 621124 first.
Matavino wines are best matched with food but also taste great out on the deck or around the BBQ with friends and family. After all, that's what Italian life is all about – great food, great wine, great company!
Check out what Bob Campbell said about the 2014 Nebbiolo & 2014 Barbera-

Member Since: August 9, 2011
Country: United States
i think i need some advice on setup.
my steppers are rated at 7V/primary, 1.2A. (the 7V is printed on the motor, the 1.2A is from googling the p/n, and finding someone else's quotation of the specs in a portuguese forum, so is less reliable, but lets assume it's right, for now – if anyone has an old Astrosyn catalog, i'd love to hear from you.)
the variables as i understand it are these: the motors are 8 wire, so i can run them either in series (raises voltage and lowers current) or parallel (does the reverse). in addition, the quadstepper driver chips do current limiting.
if i run the coils in parallel, i've read that the current requirement goes to 1.414 times the rated value, or 1.7A. and since the motor's power requirement stays roughly constant, the voltage goes down by .707 to 4.9V. so, can i run my motors from a 5V supply, using the current limit control to keep only provide 1A (the quadstepper max) to my motors? or should i instead run them in series, at 7V * 1.414 = 10V, so that they need only .85A? or, am i misunderstanding the parameters entirely? can i use the current limit the way i'm describing?
(i assume these are my only voltage options – 5V or 10V, unless i simply don't use half the coils.)
No public wish lists :(

From my understanding you should keep the text normal and NOT convert it to outlines. Save your file as EPS10 and AI. Download links for fonts are suggested for the Help File. Depending on your reviewer, you may get soft rejected for not having them there. I say depending on your reviewer, only because some claim they were approved without them and others claimed they were told to include them, so better safe than sorry. If the fonts are system fonts, then I don't see any need to include them.
I see, thank you Viral-Legacy. They don't mention anything in the knowledgebase regarding the outlining of fonts. anyway thanks.
Throughout my experience in working with clients outside of Envato, I usually outline all typography in my EPS and AI. Then when a client ask for customizations for the company name or slogan, I do the customizations myself and then resend the files, again all text outlined.
My question is: Is it OK to outline all typography in a logo template on GraphicRiver and give the buyer the font(s) name(s) only (No download links) in a help file?

UPDATE 1-Railways doing 'adequate' job moving huge Canada crop -farm minister
By Rod Nickel
WINNIPEG, Manitoba Nov 13 (Reuters) - Canada's two main railways, Canadian National Railway Co and Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd, have done an "adequate" job moving this year's record harvests to port, the country's agriculture minister said on Wednesday.
Western Canadian farmers produced the biggest grain and oilseed harvests on record this year, according to government estimates, straining the system of moving crops from farms to ports for export.
Grain handlers have grumbled that railways are not dedicating enough cars for grain, a complaint dismissed by Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz.
"I'm not an apologist for the railways, but I do agree with (Canadian National). Putting more cars on the freeway at rush hour doesn't make it more efficient," Ritz told reporters in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
He said the growing volume of oil moving by rail could become a problem for farmers and grain handlers by displacing crop shipments, but that it was not yet an issue.
Canada is the world's second-largest wheat exporting country, and the top shipper of canola. Richardson International, Viterra and Cargill Ltd are its largest grain handlers.
"We've moved record amounts of grain in the middle of a record harvest in Canada in September and October," CP Rail Chief Operating Officer Keith Creel said in webcast comments from a Goldman Sachs investor conference in Boston. Continued...

April from My Vintage Nest shares her best chewy peanut butter bar recipe.
Every holiday season I bake a few batches of these yummy peanut butter bars for my family and friends. I love to gift food for the holidays, there's something fabulous about using your hands in the kitchen to bake a dessert and sharing it with friends. Wrapping it up with yarn poms and adorable labels is just the icing on the cake.
You will need:
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups flour (I used gluten-free flour and the recipe baked exactly the same)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 cups miniature marshmallows
- 2/3 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 package (10 ounces) peanut butter chips
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups rice crispy cereal
- 2 cups salted peanuts
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and brown sugar. Add egg yolks and vanilla; mix well. Combine flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a separate bowl. Add dry ingrediants to to creamed mixture and mix well. Press into a greased 13×9 inch pan or lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
Sprinkle marshmallows on top and return to the oven for around 2 minutes or until marshmallows puff up. Cool.
Meanwhile, combine corn syrup, butter, peanut butter chips and vanilla in a medium saucepan; cook and stir continuously over low heat until melted and smooth. My tip is to melt butter the butter with the corn syrup and slowly add the peanut butter chips. Remove from heat and stir in rice cereal and peanuts. Gently spread themixture on top of the marshmallow layer.
Refridgerate until set for about 20 minutes. Makes around 2 dozen bars.
These bars are great for holiday parties or gifts. I wrapped a few boxes up for the boys' teachers as a "thank you" for all their hard work. You can find the labels I used here.
Enjoy the recipe and happy baking!

1934 Epiphone Tudor. Best click through to the ad here. Super rare. Seller states that this is one of two of these known to exist (Gibson has the other one) and he purchased it from archtop.com 4 years ago. Seller has since added an Armstrong 2D floating pickup, we have got to assume that was done without drilling any holes. Beautiful guitar. Cool in spades.

5.0 stars 12 totalReview David Roth
Posted by DALANA
Posted by Shelley
I was glad to find David Roth to handle my auto accident claim. I was looking for an honest attorney that had a great deal of integrity. He was calm, courteous, and approachable by phone. His office staff was always aware of who I was and the details of my case. I would highly recommend David Roth to friends or family.
Posted by Mary
David Roth represented me in a car accident I was involved in. I was not sure what to expected. I was worried about medical cost and how Insurance Companies worked. He handle everything from the Insurance companies to making sure all bills were paid. He did an excellent job keeping me informed along the way. David was thorough and compassionate at the same time. His office staff was also wonderful and helpful. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Posted by Shelby
David Roth did an excellent job of representing me in a suit involving a car accident. He far exceeded my expectations in this matter. He always got back to me within a very timely manner when I called his office, and remained very polite and understanding while answering my many questions. He kept me informed throughout the handling of my case, which greatly impressed me as I had never been in an accident previously and was confused about the procedure. I was very satisfied with the results of having my medical bills taken care of and the monetary settlement was more than satisfactory. I would recommend David Roth to anyone seeking a great attorney. He will work as hard for you as he did for me, and if the occasion ever arises again I would not hesitate to call him.
Posted by anonymous
David was referred to me by another attorney and it worked out great. I had a trip and fall case where I fractured my shoulder and had to deal with a frozen shoulder for 18 months. David was on the ball as well as his staff. They were friendly and I always felt like an equal when dealing with David, unlike some attorneys in my search.
I had a decent and fairly quick outcome and I would definitely recommend David to anyone with a personal injury claim. Thanks again David and Staff!
Posted by Rochelle Kleinberg
David Roth did an efficient, cost saving knowledgeable job on my personal injury matter.
This was a simple auto accident where liability was not contested. He did a careful job and got an excellent result.
Posted by anonymous
I hired Mr. Roth for a trip and fall. My goal was to get the sidewalk fixed, which the city did within days of his filing the claim. I was in a wheelchair and he came to my home for the initial meeting. He did a wonderful job for me, exceeding all my expectations. We had agreed it would never raise to the level of an actual lawsuit, but for the claim he negotiated with my healthcare providers to bring the reimbursement costs down, he kept me informed all along the way and I was extremely happy with the final settlement. He is supported by an outstanding, friendly, very competent staff that was always willing to answer questions and assist. I never had an accident/filed a claim type incident before and I had no idea what to expect. I would definitely recommend him to anyone unfortunate enough to need an attorney! He made it much less traumatizing.
Posted by Julia
David Roth represented me in a couple of car accident cases: in 2001 and 2011. David is a seasoned attorney who has all of the knowledge and expertise, which is why I chose him to represent me the 2nd time in 2011. David knows how to negotiate with his client's best interests in mind, is responsive and upfront with any and all details of the case. Both of my cases were handled with outmost professionalism and I happily recommend him for anyone needing representation in their case.
Posted by CJ
David is a wonderful and honest person. He was supportive and informative toward getting the case of an unfortunate bike crash with a large SUV taken care of. He took the time to convey that he cares a great deal about your positive outcome and getting everything taken care of.
Posted by Charles
Mr. Roth did a great job of informing me of my options in what turned out to be a very tricky case. He was knowledgeable about what steps to take, calmed my nerves and assured me that I was in capable hands. He was able to secure a great settlement for me with minimum stress. What more can an attorney provide?

I'm with you. Free the Brahma.
Sorry if this was posted somewhere. McCoskey's blog from last Tuesday: "Most of the Pistons have been back in daily work-out mode since the beginning of August. Chauncey Billups has organized a training session in Las Vegas overseen by his personal trainer. Nazr Mohammad, Antonio McDyess, Rip Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince and several others have been out there playing and training. My understanding is they are going to stay out there at least another week. Lindsey Hunter, Will Blalock, Jason Maxiell, Ron Dupree and Rasheed Wallace have been training regularly at the Pistons practice facility."

Letter to the LTTE Butt Licker Jon Snow of Channel 4
Posted on December 3rd, 2010
S de Silva London
Dear Mr Snow,
Clearly you with  C4 are hell bent on besmirching Sri Lanka at every opportunity and it is no surprise you on purpose in this instance curtailed broadcasting the response of the SL Foreign Minister Dr GL Peiris to your reporter's questions. So I am attaching that for your edification.
You seem to have forgotten history – how convenient!! Since you pretend not to, do try and remember that it was your forefathers who in the past created this current ethnic problem in Sri Lanka through your divide and rule policy which, in short, included privileges to the Tamils. Incidentally, while you bemoan the fact that your reporters were not allowed to report from Sri Lanka during the troubles you have conveniently forgotten to remember that once upon a time the IRA spokesmen like Gerry Adams were prohibited from access to British TV media and his words were mouthed by actors –but you may be too young to remember that!. in comparative  terrorism terms the IRA were a bunch of  kindergarten kids at a tea party compared to the Tamil LTTE in Sri Lanka!! My advice to you, therefore, is before you make comments on Sri Lanka in the future and display your utter ignorance of its history better first get yourself educated on the subject and pre-qualify to enter  the debate.
 When I learnt English as a second language in school in Sri Lanka during the tail end of the Raj, I was told there is a word for this kind of behaviour  identified as "Hypocrisy†– better start eating that word slowly, letting you digest it fully, so that you might just begin to understand the meaning of it !! It is unfortunate that reporters like you,  prejudiced by the Tamil Diaspora, will fail to recognise the truth even if the truth was ground up and sprayed into your eyes.
 Yours sincerely
 S de Silva
 London.
 CC The Sri Lankan High Commission, London

text: Show Hide image Politics 6 August 2012 Head of Greek ATEbank took the money and ran If you run a bank, don't take part in a run on the banks. Sign up for our weekly email * The former head of Greece's Agricultural Bank (which operated as ATEbank) has been lambasted for taking €8m of personal savings out of the country to buy a house in London at the height of the crisis in 2011, months before his bank collapsed into insolvency. Theodoros Pantalakis is not accused of any legal wrongdoing, since he paid tax on the amount transferred and reported it to the authorities, but it is nonetheless a telling example of the lack of faith which much of the Greek elite had and still have with their country's economy. Anecdotal evidence suggests that many of the wealthiest Greeks are moving as many assets as possible out of harm's way, and London is a popular destination. According to the Guardian, Savills, an estate agent which specialises in ludicrously unaffordable houses, reports that searches from Greece have increased by 50 per cent over the last six months, and Knight Frank, another estate agent, calculates that prices for "prime" properties in the city are up by a half on their low, and 16 per cent on their pre-crash high. Pantalakis faces questions over his running of ATEbank, which sold its healthy assets for just €95m last month. The bank made €150m of loans to the parties PASOK and New Democracy, at the time the hegemonic leaders of the political eliter, which were under collateralised and unserviced until he left; and it had to borrow from itself to pay a €130m pension bill for retiring employees. Pantalakis is currently on holiday, and responded to requests for comment "from his villa on the Aegean island of Paros", according to the FT. The over-arching trend appears to have lessened, however. While one of the big fears of May/June was that a "bank jog" might force Greece from the euro mechanically – that is to say, the exit would be decided solely by the ECB – the latest reports suggest that that risk has passed. FX Empire charts the claim that €10bn flowed into the country in July: If fear has passed in Greece, that can only be a good thing for the country as it struggles out of the economic hole it is in.

LOL... and the hypocritical truth of where the true racism lies, proving yet again that liberalism ALWAYS results in the exact opposite of it's stated intent. I'm so glad you tools are so willing to prove that frequently prove me correct.
The mental disorder known as liberalism thrives in this small group of hate-filled and lonely Topix "progressives", of which they've made no progress whatsoever. In fact, proven by Bob the racist, they're goal is to try and drag us back several decades.
Oh, the wailing of racism from the downtrodden and ever-so tolerant liberals. Of course, every so now and then an angry rogue like ol' Bob here strays from the reservation and pulls the curtain back about exactly how offended the left really is about racism.
Without the constant awareness of peoples' skin color, liberalism simply has no purpose whatsoever, and the proof is demonstrated daily by this tiny petri dish of progressive antique hypocrites on Topix.

Bob's not being racist he's just speaking facts. I would extend his 'Old White Men' to 'Old White Protestant Men'. Neither presidential candidate last year was a WASP for the first time in our history.
The fact that the WASP's are losing their grip of influence has nothing to to do with liberalism or moderate/independants. It lies soley in the lap of the GOP itself. You've politically and verbally attacked minorities for years with your policies and through exclusion. Nixon's Southern Strategy ring a bell? You people decided long ago you didn't need minorities to win elections and you were right, for a long time and still are in some parts of the country, if you concentrate on local elections.
You're now paying for those decisions. The west Michigan Dutch Reformed woman in her late 50's or the southern white Protestant male in backwoods Georgia no longer matters on a national political stage. They've become a caricature of what this country USED to be. This country is finally becoming the melting pot we always claimed it to be and here you guys are stuck on the wrong side of history once again.
It could end up being a good thing. You could weed out the whacko religious side and replace their ideals and policies with those that independants, minorities and moderates can wrap their head around and make some sense out of.
It's time for the GOP to evolve, even if 68% of you don't believe in evolution. If you don't, you'll disappear, just like the dinosaurs did 6,000 years ago.

About Me
Brook Martello is a savvy and inventive makeup artist with experience in most avenues of makeup; print, runway, and bridal. Trained by renowned makeup artist David Nicholas, Brook launched a career that is now peppered with celebrity weddings, trend setting runway shows, and fashion photography.
Dealing with ambiguity has made Brook a well prepared artist. Making her not only detail-oriented but resourceful. Being multi-faceted lends adaptability to any situation which Brook feels is what adds to the success of any project.
Brook grew up in a military family, finally settling in New Hampshire. Moving around instilled a love of the journey and a no fear perspective of life and passion. This translates in her love of making up faces. "If you want to wear blue eye shadow and hot pink lipstick to the market, go for it! Makeup is not about "rules" its about expressing yourself." Brook often extends this regard when asked "How should I wear my makeup?" "Obviously, not everyone is feeling turquoise and fuchsia, all the time at least. So who are you and what do you want makeup to do for you?"
Brook has worked with MAC Cosmetics over the past year as a part of their free lancing team. She has recently had the opportunity to become a part of their permanent team. "I have loved being around so many talented artist, it's been so creatively refreshing. It's going to be really exciting working for such an innovative company!"
Brook is not taking any TFCD projects at this time, although if you've got a fabulous idea run it past her! Contact for rates

Brontis Jodorowsky to Speak in Miami Beach: "Miami Must Have Some Rock 'n Roll"
Brontis Jodorowsky with Jeremias Herskovits in 'The Dance of Reality'
Pascale Montandon-Jodorowsky
For the first time in his life, actor Brontis Jodorowsky will have a few days to get to know Miami. Speaking via Skype from his home in Paris, the son of the legendary cult film director Alejandro Jodorowsky says he has only ever known the city from within Miami International Airport when he made a connection to Ecuador many years ago. Now, he will be spending a few nights on South Beach, as he plays host to several films playing at the Miami Beach Cinematheque, as part of the art house's Speaking In Cinema series.
Brontis admits that he brings some baggage when it comes to his perception of Miami. "They say it's full of old people that retire in Miami because it's warm and all that, but they all look young because it's the paradise of plastic surgery. That's all the clichés that we have," he says. "And I watched four seasons of Dexter, which takes place in Miami, so that's quite nice, to take another look at it. And, I think, if I'm not wrong, Iggy Pop lives over there," he adds with a laugh, "so it mustn't be so bad. It must have some rock 'n' roll thing."

A little redemption for Miami in the form of Iggy Pop. That's so Jodorowsky.
Redemption is indeed a big deal for Jodorowsky. The new film by his father, The Dance of Reality, is all about that. Based on a memoir written by the director and released only in Spanish in 2001, the film re-envisions the elder Jodorowsky's life growing up the son of a shopkeeper in the seaside town of Tocopilla, Chile, in the 1930s. In the movie, the child version of the director suffers much abuse at the hands of his father Jaime. The director often appears in the movie, as a sort of omniscient narrator, comforting his child version, played by Jeremias Herskovits, who does not seem aware of the presence of the older version of himself. Brontis takes the role of the father.

Brontis says he did not take the role of Jaime lightly, and he delivers an intense performance. The younger Jodorowsky carries much of the film on his shoulders, as the director sends his "father" through a fictional journey of redemption and sacrifice. Brontis remembers coming to terms with playing Jaime after his father approached him for the part.
"When he proposed for me to play that part he said to me, 'OK, you must prepare very, very well because you're going to play your grandfather,' and I answered to him, 'No, I'm not going to play my grandfather. I'm going to play a character in the script because I don't know my grandfather. I have to go into your vision, your world and play the character in the script and see what he becomes,' and so the process of healing those resentments of a childhood. I think it was the best way to go into that because it doesn't matter if it's the real grandfather or not."
The younger Jodorowsky explains The Dance of Reality is more than a reconciliation of the past for his father. He says memory, like an edited movie and the limits of a film frame, is selective. In a process of healing, his father is reframing his memories with an abusive father for the sake of the family.
"If you don't solve the things of the past, you just pass the things to the next generation," explains Jodorowsky, a family man himself, with two daughters. "Your responsibility in order to heal is for yourself, but it's also for the next generations. Whatever you don't heal in this life, your son, your children will have to heal it, so that's the way we see it. Art is art, but it's also a healing process."
Brontis and his father are very close. The younger Jodorowsky took his first acting role at 6-and-a-half years old alongside his father in the second feature film by the director, 1970's El Topo. After acting in several other films as a child, even winning the Mexican equivalent of the Oscar for a child actor, Brontis quit acting as a teen. He soon re-discovered it, however. "Tigers are what they are because they are born with stripes," he says.
When he appears at the Miami Beach Cinematheque, besides presenting The Dance of Reality and Jodorowsky's Dune, Brontis will also present Táu, the rarely seen feature debut by Mexican director Daniel Castro Zimbron, which stars Brontis. They shot the film in 2012 in the Mexican desert of San Luis Potosí. It's the same desert where Brontis and his father shot El Topo. He considers his return to that place "magicial." He says, "We were in the desert for three, four weeks, so we had no radio, no Internet, no TV. No contact with anything, with civilization, so it gave me a different appreciation of time. Time started to feel wider."
Marking his first lead role in a movie, Táu is special to Jodorowsky, and he's happy to see it play at the Miami Beach Cinematheque for a one-night-only screening alongside The Dance of Reality. "Obviously, it's very different from The Dance of Reality, but I think there's a link between the two movies because both of them are radical," he notes. "Both of them are quite pure, very honest. They both speak about a deep, profound human experience."
Brontis Jodorowsky will appear at the Miami Beach Cinematheque to present The Dance of Reality in person on June 14. On June 15, he will introduce Jodorowsky's Dune and Táu. On Tuesday, June 17, at 7 p.m., he, Village Voice film critic Michael Atkinson and Miami Herald film critic Rene Rodriguez will share the stage at MBC in the second installment of the Knight Foundation-sponsored series "Speaking In Cinema" to discuss these films and other works by Jodorowsky. A meet-and-greet party at the Sagamore Hotel ends the night. Tickets for each screening and the event: Adult $11. Indie Film Club Miami Member $8. MBC Member $8. Student or Senior with ID $9.

Kelly Osbourne Announces "Fashion Police" Return
Posted Thursday March 21, 2013 1:30 PM GMT
It has been a rocky road for Kelly Osbourne ever since suffering a seizure earlier this month, and thankfully it sounds like she's back to good health.
The 28-year-old television personality took to her Twitter account last night (March 20) to share some great news with her loyal followers.
Kelly tweeted, "#SoHappy I got the [all] clear from my doctor to go back to work tomorrow!!!!!" much to the delight of her fans and coworkers.
As a result, Osbourne will be back in front of the camera today, and hopefully these health issues are behind her for good.

1st Place: Canon PIXMA MP970
Canon really has a commanding place in the all-in-one inkjet market. Its whole range of multifunction machines provide excellent print at reasonable prices with good throughput speeds.
But there can only be one winner, so if you want an all-in-one with all the trimmings, Canon's MP970 has them in abundance. Twin paper trays, CD/DVD print, built-in duplex, seven inks for fine photo prints and a built-in transparency and negative scanner. It prints reasonably quickly - except when duplexing - and is cheap to run, a major plus for an inkjet.
Why the MP970 and not the recently released MP980? The asking price of the MP970 is below the magical £200 threshold and, more importantly, the cartridge set is a lot cheaper, giving much lower running costs. The prices of the MP980 inks will drop, but not this year.
Read the full review of the Canon PIXMA MP970.
2nd Place: Epson B-500DN
Several of the main inkjet makers are trying to move inkjet technology into the business market and the B500DN is a major step in that direction. This is a substantial machine with an 'individual' look, but right from the start it wants to be taken seriously. It can take a whole ream of paper in its main tray and only needs new ink every 7,000 pages. While print speeds aren't as high as from equivalently-priced colour lasers, print quality is fair; excellent if you print photos. A colour page also costs under 3p, which is exceptional.
Read the full review of the Epson B-500DN.
3rd Place: Canon PIXMA iP1900
A simple inkjet printer at an entry-level price may not be the most obvious choice for an annual award, but this little machine is supremely easy-to-use and produces very reasonable quality for anybody on a budget. The PIXMA iP1900 is not the fastest inkjet printer on Earth, but it produces over seven black pages a minute and around two and a half in colour, which is still respectable. It'll turn out a good quality 15 x 10cm print in under a minute, too. As a personal inkjet for correspondence and a few photos, it's a great choice.

hi guys,
does anyone know how soon does the real time data gets written to the historical data/tables?
i have a customer who is trying to compare a real time stats at the end of the day and comparing it with historical report and found some missing stats.
so i was wondering if the mismatch is caused by the timer of how soon real time data gets written to the historical data/tables.
any pointers would be much appreciated.
kind regards
Hi Daniel,
Yes, your understaning it corect.

Tow Hitch
If you absolutely do not want to cut anything on the vehicle, or if you want the benefit of using the OEM wiring harness, then the
is a good match. Full disclosure: I work for the company. The
is a re-branded execuhitch product, released as an "aftermarket" hitch for the North American version of the X3. In other parts of the world, it is the factory X3 hitch. It's a full class III hitch, and because it is the factory hitch elsewhere, it is available with the OEM wiring harness. Reprogramming the vehicle provides all the benefits listed by others (zoom mode on the backup camera, auto disabling of rear PDC sensors, dynamic trailer stability control). Plus, there is no cutting of anything required.
A clarification on 'No Cutting Required': Many people choose to trim a 4-inch wide notch in the plastic gravel guard underneath... enough to allow a ball mount or a bike-rack connector to be inserted upward into the
receiver with ease. But on the X3, the last 4 inches of the gravel guard is a separate, removable piece. So instead of notching it, you can remove it and save it. Then, when you want to return your X3 to its original factory condition, just screw the plastic underpanel piece back on.
Here are some photos. The gravel guard shown in one of the photos is a panel that was removed from the underside of the X3. It is not a structural piece by any means; it's just a gravel guard that can be removed/replaced easily with seven screws. You can see in the photo where we have drawn with red marker on this piece, showing where you would cut an opening if you prefer to cut-and-replace the gravel guard, rather than remove-and-save it for later. Either way, you get a very clean look with no evidence that the vehicle even has a hitch installed. And with the OEM harness, you get a premium tow hitch solution for the X3 that fully protects your warranty.

Seretide Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) is used to help with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in people who need regular treatment.
Asthma is a condition affecting the lungs. Symptoms of asthma include shortness of breath, wheezing, chest tightness and cough. Two main causes of asthma symptoms are bronchoconstriction (tightening of the muscle surrounding the airways) and inflammation (swelling and irritation of the airways).
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a long-term condition affecting the lungs, resulting from chronic bronchitis or emphysema. Symptoms of COPD include shortness of breath, cough, chest discomfort and coughing up phlegm. The COPD symptoms are mainly due to bronchoconstriction (tightening of the muscle surrounding the airways) and inflammation (swelling and irritation of the airways).
Seretide MDI contains two medicines, fluticasone propionate and salmeterol xinafoate.
Fluticasone propionate belongs to a group of medicines known as corticosteroids, frequently called 'steroids'. They are not 'anabolic steroids' which are the steroids sometimes misused by athletes.
Corticosteroids have an anti-inflammatory action. They reduce the swelling and irritation in the walls of the small air passages in the lungs and so help you to breathe more easily. Corticosteroids are used to treat asthma and COPD.
Salmeterol xinafoate is a bronchodilator. A bronchodilator keeps the breathing tubes in your lungs open and relieves the symptoms of asthma and other chest conditions. The effects of salmeterol xinafoate last for up to twelve hours.
When taken together regularly fluticasone propionate and salmeterol help to control your asthma.
Your doctor may have prescribed Seretide MDI for another reason.
Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why Seretide MDI has been prescribed for you.
The medicine in Seretide MDI is not addictive.
