1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to diffusion devices, and more particularly, to diffusion devices for emitting more than one active material therefrom.
2. Description of the Background
A multitude of active material diffusion devices or diffusers exist in the marketplace. Many of such devices are passive devices that require only ambient air flow to disperse the liquid active material therein. Other devices are battery-powered or receive household power via a plug extending from the device. A cord may be coupled between the plug and the device, or the plug may be mounted directly on the device.
Various means for dispensing active materials from diffusion devices are also known in the art. For example, some diffusion devices include a heating element for heating an active material to promote vaporization thereof. Other diffusion devices employ a fan or blower to generate air flow to direct active material out of the diffusion device into the surrounding environment. In another type of diffusion device, active material may be emitted from the device using a bolus generator that delivers a pulse of air to eject a scent ring. Still other diffusion devices dispense active materials utilize ultrasonic means to dispense active materials therefrom.
In one example a diffusion device includes two heaters for dispersion of fragrances. The device includes a housing, a plug extending from the housing for insertion into an outlet, and two containers having fragrances therein and wicks extending therefrom to absorb fragrances from the containers. Each of the heaters is disposed adjacent one of the wicks to heat the respective wick to vaporize the fragrances therein. Optionally, a CPU controlled by internal software may first activate a first of the two heaters for a predetermined period of time. After the period of time expires, the CPU deactivates the first heater and thereafter activates the second heater.
Other diffusion devices include a housing having a cavity for receiving a cartridge. The cartridge generally has a plurality of scent elements disposed on a rotatable disk. A blower is mounted in the housing to generate airflow by passing air across a scent element and out an aperture in the housing. The housing further includes rotating means that rotate the rotatable disk, thereby rotating the scent elements thereon. The device diffuses a first scent for a predetermined time period and thereafter rotates the disk to a second scent and diffuses the second scent for the predetermined time period. This process repeats itself until the last scent element is diffused for the time period and then the disk is rotated to a home position.
Piezoelectrically actuated vibratory type liquid atomization apparatuses are described in Helf et al. U.S. Pat. No. 6,293,474, Martin et al. U.S. Pat. No. 6,341,732, Tomkins et al. U.S. Pat. No. 6,382,522, Martens, III et al. U.S. Pat. No. 6,450,419, Helf et al. U.S. Pat. No. 6,706,988, and Boticki et al. U.S. Pat. No. 6,843,430, all of which are assigned to the assignee of the present application and which are hereby incorporated by reference herein. These patents describe an apparatus comprising a piezoelectric actuating element coupled to a liquid atomization plate. The piezoelectric actuating element vibrates the liquid atomization plate in response to alternating electrical voltages applied to the actuating element. The vibration of the plate causes atomization of a liquid supplied to it by a liquid delivery system. An electrical circuit is provided to supply the alternating electrical voltages to conductive elements that are in electrical contact with opposite sides of the actuating element. The conductive elements may also serve to support the actuating element and the liquid atomization plate in a housing that contains the device.
According to one aspect of the present invention, a diffusion device comprises a bottom portion having a bottom cover disposed thereon. The device further includes a top portion having a top cover disposed atop the bottom portion and a pump assembly disposed between the top cover and the bottom cover. First, second, and third arm portions extend from the pump assembly, wherein the first, second, and third arm portions include first, second, and third piezoelectric devices, respectively, attached thereto.
According to yet another aspect of the present invention, a diffusion device comprises a top portion having a top cover and a bottom portion having a bottom cover, wherein the top cover is disposed atop the bottom cover, thereby forming a cavity therebetween. The device further includes a container disposed in the cavity, wherein the container includes an active material therein and a wick extending therefrom. Still further, the device includes a spring-loaded pump assembly slidingly connected to the bottom cover and including a piezoelectric element extending therefrom. When the top cover is inserted over the spring-loaded pump assembly, the pump assembly moves downwardly such that the piezoelectric element is moved into contact with the wick and when the cover is removed, the pump assembly moves upwardly and out of contact with the wick.
According to still a further aspect of the present invention, a method of diffusing first, second, and third active materials from a diffusion device comprises the step of selecting an intensity level for dispersion of the active material(s), wherein the intensity level is determined by the dwell time between active material emissions. The method further includes the step of selecting from one of the five different modes of operation including: emitting the first active material, emitting the second active material, emitting the third active material, alternating between emission of the first, second, and third active materials based on a first predetermined duration, and alternating between emission of the first, second, and third active materials based on a second predetermined duration.
Other aspects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent upon consideration of the following detailed description and the attached drawings, in which like elements are assigned like reference numerals.
The top cover 56 comprises first, second, and third columns 58 a-58 c that form first, second, and third compartments 60 a-60 c, respectively, between the top portion 52 and the bottom portion 54. As seen in

Any of the piezoelectric devices described in any of the patents incorporated by reference herein may be utilized for the piezoelectric devices 106 a-106 c. In general, these devices apply an alternating voltage to a piezoelectric element to cause the element to expand and contract. The piezoelectric element is coupled to a perforated orifice plate, which in turn is in surface tension contact with a liquid source. The expansion and contraction of the piezoelectric element causes the orifice plate to vibrate up and down whereupon liquid is driven through the perforations in the orifice plate and is then emitted upwardly in the form of aerosolized particles.
When the top cover 56 is disposed atop the bottom portion 54, the pedestals 70 a-70 c, the containers 72 a-72 c, the arm portions 104 a-104 c, and the piezoelectric devices 106 a-106 c reside within the compartments 60 a-60 c, respectively. When in this closed position, top portions 108 a-108 c of the columns 58 a-58 c, respectively, force the arm portions 104 a-104 c downwardly, thereby forcing the piezoelectric devices 106 a-106 c into contact with the wicks 74 a-74 c, respectively. When the top cover 56 is removed, the pump assembly 78 as a whole moves upwardly in response to the biasing provided by the spring 79, thereby causing the arm portions 104 a-104 c to move upwardly and moving the piezoelectric devices 106 a-106 c out of contact with the respective wicks 74 a-74 c. Without contact of the piezoelectric devices 106 a-106 c with the wicks 74 a-74 c, respectively, the piezoelectric devices 106 a-106 c cannot properly atomize the active materials contained within the respective containers 72 a-72 c.
First, second, and third circular apertures 76 a-76 c are disposed in top portions of the first, second, and third columns 58 a-58 c, respectively, as seen in

Each of the selectors 110 a, 110 b includes five selectable positions. Selection of a position by the user with respect to one or both of the selectors 110 a, 110 b indicates to the respective slide switch 114 a, 114 b the current position of the respective selector 110 a, 110 b. The positions of the slide switches 114 a, 114 b are detected by the PCB 116. Components mounted on the PCB 116 control the piezoelectric devices 106 a-106 c corresponding to the positions of the selectors 110 a, 110 b. As seen in
In the present invention, every single emission or spray of active material has a period which includes an on time or period and a dwell time or period. The on time represents a time period for which an active material is actually emitted and the dwell time represents a duration between sprays in which the diffusion device 50 is inactive, i.e., not emitting an active material therefrom. Additionally, any of the active materials may be actuated for a predetermined duration, wherein the predetermined duration represents the entire length of time which an active material is to be emitted intermittently by the device. Preferably, a predetermined duration includes multiple periods as described above, but optionally may only includes a single period.
The operating mode selector 110 a controls the mode of operation of the diffusion device 50. For example, in one embodiment, the operating mode selector 110 a may include a slide switch with five different positions. When a user moves the selector 110 a to a first position, a mode of operation may be initiated wherein the first active material from the first container 72 a is emitted intermittently. Preferably, although not necessarily, emissions or sprays occur on a periodic basis, wherein the dwell time between sprays is constant for a selected intensity (as described in greater detail hereinafter). When the user slides the selector 110 a to a second position, a first auto mode of operation may be initiated wherein the diffusion device 50 alternates between emitting the active materials of the first, second, and/or third containers 72 a-72 c. In this mode, the sprays are preferably, although not necessarily, intermittent as described above with respect to the first mode. Illustratively, in one embodiment, the active material from one of the containers 72 a-72 c is sprayed intermittently for a first predetermined duration, thereafter the active material from a second of the containers 72 a-72 c is sprayed intermittently for a second predetermined duration, and thereafter the active material from a third of the containers 72 a-72 c is sprayed intermittently for a third predetermined duration. Any or all of the first, second, and third predetermined durations be the same, or the predetermined durations may all be different. The predetermined durations may be any preferred periods of time, but preferably are between about one minute and about twenty-four hours. Preferably, the predetermined period is between about 3 hours and about 24 hours. In one preferred embodiment, the predetermined period is about 3 hours and in another preferred embodiment, the predetermined period is about 24 hours. Other optional modes of operation for the first auto mode will be described hereinafter.
When the selector 10 a is moved to a third position, a mode of operation may be entered wherein the second active material from the second container 72 b is emitted intermittently, as described in detail above. In a fourth position, a second auto mode of operation may be initiated wherein the diffusion device 50 alternates between emitting the active materials from the first, second, and/or third active containers 72 a-72 c. The second auto mode may be similar to the auto mode described hereinabove with respect to the first auto mode, or may be any alternating mode of operation as described in detail hereinbelow. When the selector 110 a is moved to a fifth position, a mode of operation may be entered wherein the third active material from the third container 72 c is emitted intermittently, as described in detail above. Optionally, any of such described modes of operation may be placed in any position.
Although only two auto modes are described in the previous example, any number of auto modes can be utilized wherein no auto modes or used or up to five auto modes are used, wherein the auto modes are the same or different.
Various different auto modes may be incorporated into any of the embodiments herein. Such additional and/or substitute modes of operation may be utilized with changes to the circuitry, described hereinafter, and/or additional circuitry. Optionally, in one exemplary auto mode, the auto mode may function similar to the first auto mode discussed hereinabove, wherein such a sequence of active material emission may occur only once or may be repeated continuously. Still optionally, any two of the active materials may be emitted in an alternating fashion, as described above. Although the predetermined durations contemplate multiple periods for an active material, it is possible to utilize only one period, thus one spray, for one or more active materials.
Although the embodiments discussed thus far contemplate sequencing of the active materials, the first, second, and/or third active materials may be randomly actuated. In such a random mode, the on times, the dwell times, and/or the predetermined durations for each of the emitted active materials may all be the same or may all be different.
Illustratively, another mode varies the on time of one or more active material(s) that are emitted from the diffusion device 50. For example, the on time may be varied by gradually increasing or decreasing the time in which an active material is sprayed by the device. Optionally, another mode varies the dwell time for one or more active material(s) by gradually increasing or decreasing the time between sprays of active material.
In yet another mode of operation, the on time for an active material may be increased to thereby release more active material and may remain at that on time for a predetermined duration. The predetermined duration may be any time limit that prevents habituation of the active material, such as any time period between one minute and thirty minutes. After the predetermined duration, the on time for the active material may be decreased to thereby release less active material and may remain at that on time for the same or a different predetermined duration. This cycle may be repeated or may be repeated in a random or complex pattern. Also, any number of different active material emission levels may be utilized in such a mode of operation. Optionally, the dwell time for an active material may be decreased to thereby spray active material more frequently and may remain at that dwell time for a predetermined duration. Once the predetermined duration has expired, the dwell time may be increased to thereby spray active material less frequently and may remain at such dwell time for the same or different predetermined duration. Still optionally, the on time and dwell time for one or more active material may be decreased and/or increased as described above.
In another mode of operation, emission of all active materials may be discontinued for a predetermined off time, wherein the off time is a time period in which an active material is discontinued. The predetermined off time may be any period of time that allows the active material level to decrease or partially or fully dissipate from the surrounding environment, but preferably the predetermined off time is between about one minute and about thirty minutes. After the predetermined off time has expired, the emission of active material is resumed. This cycle may be repeated with the same, increasing, or decreasing off times.
Still alternatively, in another mode of operation, two or more active materials may be dispensed simultaneously in any manner as discussed herein.
Any of the modes of operation as disclosed herein or as known in the art may be utilized alone or in any combination. Also, any of these modes of operation may be utilized with a diffusion device that emits a single active material or a diffusion device that emits multiple active materials.
The emission frequency selector 110 b controls the frequency of active material emission of the diffusion device 50. For example, in one embodiment, the selector 10 b may include a slide switch with five different positions. Each spray of fragrance includes an on-time and a dwell time, wherein the on-time represents the time period in which a fragrance is sprayed and the dwell time represents a duration between sprays in which the diffusion device 50 is inactive, i.e., not emitting active material. Preferably, although not necessarily, the on-time remains constant. Optionally, the on-time may be of variable duration.
A first position of the selector 110 b may actuate a first dwell time, a second position may actuate a second dwell time, and a third position may actuate a third dwell time. Still further, fourth and fifth positions may actuate fourth and fifth dwell times, respectively. The dwell times may be of preferred durations, but preferably are between a few seconds and a few minutes. Most preferably, the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth dwell times are 30 seconds, 21 seconds, 15 seconds, 9 seconds, and 4.5 seconds, respectively. Another optional combination includes dwell times of 27 seconds, 18 seconds, 12 seconds, 9 seconds, and 4.5 seconds. Still another combination includes dwell times of 18 seconds, 12 seconds, 9 seconds, 6 seconds, and 4.5 seconds.
Optionally, the selectors 110 a and 110 b may include any number of positions corresponding to a preferred number of modes or intensities. Also, the positions may correspond to any mode or intensity.
As further seen in FIGS. 8 and 9A-C, the bottom portion 54 of the diffusion device 50 includes two batteries 122 a, 122 b that preferably provide direct current that is converted into high-frequency alternating current power that is selectively applied to the piezoelectric devices 106 a-106 c. Optionally, the diffusion device 50 may be powered by alternating household current, which is rectified and converted to high-frequency alternating current power that is intermittently applied to the piezoelectric devices 106 a-106 c. The batteries 122 a, 122 b may be any conventional dry cell battery such as "A", "AA", "AAA", "C", and "D" cells, button cells, watch batteries, and solar cells, but preferably, the batteries 98 a, 98 b are "AA" or "AAA" cell batteries. Although two batteries are preferred, any number of batteries that would suitably fit within the device and provide adequate power level and service life may be utilized.

Once the mode has been selected, a block 718 checks the position of the selector 110 b in a fashion similar to the blocks 700-716 described above to determine the selected emission frequency. Once the emission frequency has been determined, a block 718 causes the IC 602 to develop the signals PWM, ENABLE1, ENABLE2, and ENABLE3, in turn to cause the piezoelectric elements 630, 632, 634 to be energized in accordance with the selected mode of operation and emission frequency. Specifically, a high frequency pulse-width modulated waveform having a frequency between about 130 kHz and about 165 kHz is provided as the control signal PWM, thereby causing the FET Q1 to rapidly turn on and off, thereby causing high frequency alternating current power to be provided to the junction 620.

In summary, a user may operate any of the devices as described herein to emit a selected one of three different active materials for a particular period of time at a selected emission frequency, or may cause the unit to alternate between emissions of different active materials at a selected emission frequency.
Although the embodiments as discussed herein are shown and described as being powered by a direct current source, such as batteries, other alternating current power sources are contemplated. For example, any of the devices as described herein may operate on household power via a plug extending from the device, wherein a cord may be coupled to the plug and the device. Still optionally, the plug may be mounted directly to the device for insertion into a household power source.
Illustratively, the types of liquid active materials described herein may be, for example, an insecticide, an insect repellant, an insect attractant, a disinfectant, a mold or mildew inhibitor, a fragrance, a disinfectant, an air purifier, an aromatherapy scent, an antiseptic, an odor eliminator, a positive fragrancing active material, an air-freshener, a deodorizer, or the like, and combinations thereof. The present application contemplates the use of the same or different active materials and/or the same or different types of active materials.

Studio House is the perfect combination of space, peaceful surroundings, and comfort. Located near a secluded, ten-acre, freshwater pond, it is nestled in the woods, but still just minutes from Vineyard Haven and West Tisbury.
The main living area is enormous, with skylights in the cathedral ceiling, a variety of seating choices, and a wood-burning stove (great for chilly evenings!). It is open to the large dining room with an expansive table, lovingly hand-made especially for Studio House. There is enough room here for meals at one end and a puzzle or game at the other. The kitchen boasts a gas stove, double oven and double sink. Enjoy preparing your meals together on oodles of counter space, while catching glimpses of goldfinches or deer out of the plentiful windows.
Imagine waking up to sunlight filtering through the trees, hearing the leaves swishing in the wind, and birds singing outside your window. The master suite promises all this, along with a comfortable queen-sized bed,and a bath with a stall shower. Upstairs in the loft area are two additional sunny bedrooms, each with two twin beds. The loft also contains a second bath (with a tub/shower), skylights, and an open area overlooking the living room.
Even more great amenities include the mud room, with a washer/dryer, utility sink and a second refrigerator; an outdoor shower (nothing is better than an outdoor shower after a long day at the beach, or at night under the stars); and a large, split-level deck.
Studio House enjoys a grassy yard with a lovely garden, the surrounding forest, and a quick walk (less than five minutes!) to a private, freshwater pond -- the best swimming on the island. Studio House shares a sunny pond entrance with a private home, including a wooden dock, a canoe, and a kayak. With just a ten-minute drive to Lambert's Cove Beach, or into Vineyard Haven, you cannot possibly improve upon the combination of peaceful seclusion and convenient proximity to beach and town!

West Tisbury Vacation Planner
West Tisbury Info
We rented over the Columbus Day week. This is an excellent house if you are interested in a little seclusion and quiet. It is still close enough to stores and beaches. Our daughter and family live on the island, so this house provided a perfect place to meet for meals and evenings. There is a large great room, updated kitchen with new appliances and a large dinning table , perfect for get togethers. The house is very well kept and very clean. It is off a little off the main road. On a dirt type road. But that adds to the seclusion. There are other houses on the road but we didn't hear or see anyone during our stay. Would definitely rent again. show more show less
The home was perfect for my daughter and myself needing a complete break. The very private location with access to a magical swimming pond provided a must needed respite. The location was peaceful and quiet. The house was an old fashioned family home but with all modern conveniences available for use when necessary. The kitchen was very well stocked. We would definitely visit again. We thoroughly enjoyed out stay! Thank you.
Absolutely loved this vacation. Great house, private property, close to all the island has to offer. We shared our time with good friends (from Texas) enjoying cooking in the kitchen together, and many evenings we never left the deck. The pond and surrounding area is so beautiful I would love to come back! Easy to explore Martha's Vineyard from this location. We visited all lighthouses and many beaches. Great farm stand walking distance to house with large variety produce -this is the place to rent if you love nature and outdoors with the comforts of a large kitchen and a quiet place to relax. Swim the pond! show more show less
My family of 5 had a wonderful week at Studio House! My kids loved the upstairs and took it over for the week! The pond was the best, and we loved catching frogs and Sunnies and floating on rafts. It was so peaceful every night and we took advantage of the puzzles and games that were available in the living room. What a welcoming environment... Thank you for sharing your home! We hope to come back again!
We have stayed at Studio House for at least 15 times during the last 25 years, first when our children were toddlers to last summer when we all met on the Vineyard for a family vacation, a husband and a girlfriend included! We have made many family memories at Studio House. We love the quiet, the access to both the crystal clean pond as well as lovely Lambert's Cove Beach. Beginning each day with a swim around the pond, followed by an outdoor shower and sunning on the deck with a good book, is incomparable. show more show less
The dirt road takes you to the peacefulness of the woods. The house instantly welcomes you with comfortable furnishings and an easy floor plan. The outdoor shower allows for a gorgeous view of the sky, the full kitchen is well-equipped, and there are plenty of support items for a big lobster dinner. The West Tisbury location allows access to Lambert's Cove. Once we found Studio House, as it is called by its owners, we have never rented anywhere else since. Friends meet us annually here and share with us the property's fresh water pond, the ocean at Lambert's Cove, and the unique magic of this home - and our days are wonderful and restorative. show more show less
Since 1995 we have vacationed at Studio House. Why? The "basics" are great… comfy beds, a large sunny well-equipped kitchen, an expansive living room and adjoining deck… and always very clean. But many places can claim all that. Here are a few things special about Studio House.It has a wonderful wooden outdoor shower stall with hot water (blue sky above); walking access to a private, sparkling fresh-water pond (kayak, canoes, and croaking bull-frogs included); and deep quiet, being off-road. As you drive into Studio House, you pass an old Island farm, chickens, pigs, cows, horses, and an organic veggie stand. You feel yourself enter a time off, a restorative retreat. There are puzzles, books for all ages, and of course Monopoly© should it rain. And not too far from Chilmark Chocolates! A joyful and much loved place to us.Marilyn and Jim show more show less
This was our 14th year staying in Studio House, and it was, as always, unforgettable. The house is as comfortable and well suited for our large family as ever. We love eating all together at the huge dining table or the deck table after a day at the beach. Nearby Lambert's Cove (open to anyone after 6ish) is my favorite for its calm water and gorgeous sunsets, but the kids love Long Point for the waves and the lagoon. The pond was gorgeous again this year. The water is so clear, and the sandy bottom means even I am comfortable swimming in it. We love to canoe around the lake and the guys had luck fishing. And the new walking path is easy and fun for the kids. The new pond deck is great too. However, nothing makes me happier than looking up at the stars from the outdoor shower at the end of the night. Love the quiet of the woods and listening only to the wind in the trees. We can't wait to get back next year. Oh, if you're there during the summer, be sure to check out the island's a capella singing group, The Vineyard Sound. Then head to Mad Martha's for ice cream. It'll be a good night! show more show less
Our family has spent several beautiful weeks at Studio House. It was airy, sunny and totally comfortable. The kitchen and dining area are perfect for avid cooks like us--it's newly remodeled, very well outfitted and has an enormous dining table right alongside. The master suite is in its own quiet wing and has great cross ventilation. Old House Pond, aka Ice House Pond, one of the Vineyard's little treasures, is just a short walk down a private dirt road. It's lovely for a long swim in the morning or at dusk and a place where little kids can spend hours catching frogs and sunnies. We'll be back! show more show less

I luff the song lip gloss by lil mama, whats so bad about it? .. is it really as anoyin as evevrybody says it is? anybody else in this world like that song?
I have never even heard about that song >.>
But the true reason of my post is to react to your question:
Why in the world do we need entire thread for one song?
Can you even imagine where this site would go if everyone asked question similar to this?
For example,I like Pokemon opening theme,which many dislikes,but you wont see me opening thread - why everyone hates pokemon opening theme?
Good song but kinda of annoying it's the hollaback girl of '07
Ow my ears..bled a little..after hearing that song. And also, I agree this post is way to specific and therefore kind of unnecessary. And the reason this song is annoying is..it's meant for nothing more than to be catchy, and her voice sounds like a mouse giving birth to an elephant. Ow.
i like this song(its less annoying then my humps by the black eyed peas)
i find this song and the music video quite amusing, lol everyone is going crazy over her super lucky lipgloss that her mom gave her lol
yeah we all know its materialistic, but we need a song every once in awhile to make fun of and annoy ppl with for good laughs

I just don't like the lyrics. They seem kind of lame. The music video was kind of weird too. And the singer, well.......I don't really like any song where the singer doesn't show off their vocals and stand out.
Made by my lover ♥ Jagan Eye
eh, the song is o.k. i kind of like it. o.0
sig by me.......
Song? Lip Gloss by Lil' Mama is not a "song" it is pain in sound form. Why does everyone hate this song? No, no, no. A better question would be "Why does anyone LIKE this song?". It has no redeeming qualities. It's boring, stupid, uninspired, and generally contributes to the fall of the world's collective IQ. I feel dumber after hearing this song. I feel dumber just by talking about it. I feel dumber just by knowing it exists and it could be my misfortune to accidentally hear it one day. This song is the sound produced when satan slaughters babies, rapes virgins, burns villages, and runs Inuyasha reruns. It is truly an unholy abomination. It needs to be destroyed, and any mention of it be punishable by death. Lil' Mama needs to be subjected to the most horrid, vile, disfiguring torture that the universe has ever seen. But do not kill her, no no. Make her suffer for all eternity. Let her be a warning to those who would ever consider releasing this song upon the masses again.
That is how much I hate this song. Over the top? I don't think so, I think I'm being quite mild actually.
All The Ways You Wish Could Be? That's me
They have taste?Why does everyone hate this song?
ohh how sooo true!!^^ Besides isnt this a waste of a thread? Anyways.. yes I hate that song as well ..but I am not much of a rap/hip-hop type of person so whatever..
Ehh...I really dislike this song it sounds so annoying I hope to never hear it again enough said =[

I feel very retarded right now.
i hate the song, its just so annoying

It hurt my ears. The sound is just horrible. I don't even wanna see the video now.
ein, zwei, drei, vier bin endlich weg von Dir
fünf, sechs, sieben, acht Du hast jetzt keine Macht
It is stupid, all she does is sing about lip gloss. I is aslo stupid because it is dumb rap. There is no talent. Lip gloss? That is catchy? If she wanted the song to get more attention she would have named the song tampon and sing about that.
Well, I can safely say, that the people who hate the song have a good taste in music, it's terrible, its so comercial, I don't need subliminal messages by Loreal in my music.

My brother's Mother-in-Law is coming in for lunch and a show this Sunday. We're looking for someplace near 44th Street, inexpensive (soup, salad, soft drink - not to exceed $20?), not spicy in the least. Also, she just popped a dental crown, so soft foods such as soups are requested.
Any ideas for a nice spot with good service for lunch this Sunday? Any recommendations are sincerely appreciated.

Tsuki ga Kirei – Catch Up
Tsuki ga Kirei is, by far, my favourite anime this season. Watching it week by week has been one of the highlights and I was really hoping a "binge session" wasn't going to ruin it. WARNING; spoilers in this review so avoid if you don't want to know the plot details.
A review of Tsuki ga Kirei, Episodes 4, 5, & 6
Tsuki ga Kirei – Young Love
Episode 3 is upon us and it carries on along the same wavelength as the previous two. It's actually progressed quicker than I thought it would but we have an inkling that things will be difficult.
A review of Tsuki ga Kirei, Episode 3
Tsuki ga Kirei – Influences
The series continues and is even stronger than the opening episode. The episode was respectful of its characters and their age and had its roots firmly in reality.
A review of Tsuki ga Kirei, Episode 2.
Tsuki ga Kirei – A Dreamy Introduction
Tsuki ga Kirei tells the story of two adolescents that meet each other in middle school. They see each other, and feel something, but neither seems to want to put a name to these feelings. A really sweet start to what could be an amazing Slice of Life series.

It's all about the terminology.. we've all heard that before… but it's especially true regarding any new team member in an NFL organization…
As if the terminology and demands of the massive playbooks aren't enough, the outdated references to pop culture by well-meaning special teams coordinator Bobby April assure the players attending Eagles rookie camp at the NovaCare Complex this weekend will be in for a head-spinning experience all the way to the end.
April blurted out a comparison to 1970s sitcom "Laverne and Shirley" when trying to make a point to his troops during a particularly humorous interlude highlighting the morning session.
"I had no clue, no clue what he was talking about," admitted UDFA and former Penn State safety Drew Astorino, who was born five years after the show went off the air. "It went right over my head."
There is a recurring nightmare common to the NFL quarterback. He is on the field, sweat dripping from forehead, enemies staring malevolently from just beyond the neutral zone… The quarterback motions his teammates into the huddle and informs them of the play. But something is wrong. Like 10 "Kafka" characters they stare back at him blank-faced, clueless… He speaks, but they don't understand.
It was no dream when it happened to Wade Wilson during his first season in New Orleans. Wilson had received his NFL indoctrination from the Vikings, his employers for 11 seasons. And as he relayed the call to his new Saints teammates in 1993, he was met with the uncomprehending stares that might greet a graduate professor of particle physics who accidentally stumbles into a remedial algebra class.
"I must have been calling a Minnesota play," says Wilson, who was at the time of the interview with the Raiders, his fifth NFL team and, by his reckoning, eighth or ninth offensive system. "Guys are looking at me like I'm crazy. We wound up calling a basic play, just to run something. Thank God it was a preseason game."
Every new player—every free agent, every trade acquisition, every rookie— brings with him the coded vocabulary of his previous team. To be competitive, every player on the roster must be speaking the same language by the beginning of September.
In terms of complexity and rote learning, football is to other major sports what a Miles Davis composition is to "She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain." A typical NFL offensive playbook may contain 60 to 70 plays, many of which can be run from various alignments. Each player has a specific task on every play. On the other side of the ball, the defense has numerous formations and coverage schemes of its own.
All of it must be communicated among coaches and players, and it must be done efficiently (because there are only 40 seconds between snaps), precisely (because one blown assignment is likely to doom a play) and secretively (because sometimes you have to call out audibles). The result is a highly developed system of terminology.
When a coach sends pieces of this terminology to his quarterback via radio transmitter, he delivers two basic nuggets of information: the formation—which almost always alludes to the position of the tight end, and often that of the running backs— and the play. Some codes give blocking assignments, too. The quarterback adds the snap count.
To illustrate, one of Ravens' former head coach Ted Marchibroda's old standbys was a play called "Split Right 26 Power O." "Split Right" means that the backs are split, one on each side of the quarterback, and the tight end is lined up next to the right tackle. The "26" designation directs the No. 2 back (halfback) to run through the No. 6 hole (between right tackle and tight end). "Power" refers to a double-team block by the tight end and the tackle, while "O" tells the O guard (left guard) to pull through the hole. Multiply that by about 1,000 and you'll end up with something like a league-wide lexicon–at least until someone adds a new term, which probably will be tomorrow. At least the radio headsets have simplified the situation somewhat by curtailing hand signals, the NFL version of sign language. Much of what you hear around the league today is a version of the terminology employed by the late great coach and analyst Bill Walsh during the 49ers' dynasty of the 1980s. But Walsh's code isn't exactly the NFL equivalent of U.N. Esperanto. Even his most loyal proteges, such as Mike Shanahan and Mike Holmgren, add to and subtract from it in editing their playbooks. And so we are left with a confusing babble, a series of United Nations sub-sessions carried out in 65,000-seat stadiums.
"It's like learning a whole new language every time you move teams," says former QB and coach Jim Zorn.
Or at least a new dialect. "In general, it's like comparing the way they speak Spanish in Spain to how they speak it in Mexico," says former Carolina quarterback Steve Beuerlein, who had played for five NFL teams and eight coaches. "It can get confusing."
And the confusion isn't limited to frequent-flyer backup quarterbacks. Offensive tackle Bruce Armstrong played all of his 12 seasons in New England, but under five coaches. Wide receiver Tim Brown and guard Steve Wisniewski had labored for five coaches with the Raiders. All three have said the biggest challenge with every coaching change has been the "terminology"…
Sometimes the code changes even when the coach doesn't. That happened to Beuerlein when Carolina switched playbooks along with offensive coordinators back in 1999. "The previous year, with Joe Pendry, we'd usually just call a number sequence—two digits—then one word, like `Denver' or 'Razor,' "Beuerlein says. "In the new offense we got more words. We realized we must be more descriptive in the huddle."
That basic distinction— words vs. numbers —divides the NFL into two major camps.
"I always felt terms were more graphic," the late Bill Walsh said, "more connected to what we actually do. Numbers give you thousands of variables for pass patterns, but I think they're harder to memorize."
Marchibroda spent much of his long NFL career simplifying the terminology system he first instituted in Baltimore in 1975, and he prefers numbers. He likes that he can call "258" and the split end knows to run a 2 pattern, the tight end a 5 pattern, and the flanker an 8 pattern. And he isn't particularly worried about recall.
"When you call a play 20 to 30 times during the course of a season–and you probably practice it hundreds of times–it becomes second nature," Marchibroda said.
In the prose-oriented systems, certain rules of nomenclature apply.
Foremost is brevity. "Everything happens so fast during a game that the amount of words you have to repeat is critical," Zorn says. "You have to talk in a concise manner."
So coaches tend to employ easily distinguished, one-syllable words. "Fire," "Tank" and "Jet" are perfect. "Lion" is acceptable. "Personal Seat License" won't do.
It also helps if you can build in a mnemonic, a trick to help the player associate a term with its corresponding play. Marchibroda mentions two pass patterns, Sponge and Whisk, that have clues buried in the capitals. Sponge is a strongside pattern; Whisk is to the weakside. During his early years as a quarterback in Seattle, Zorn says assistant coaches Rusty Tillman and Howard Mudd were the team's resident wordsmiths. Sometimes they formed contractions of two existing terms. Sometimes they used acronyms. For instance, if they wanted the fullback to block the "Mike" linebacker, they would use the term "Bom(b)"-for "Back On Mike".
Another key is avoiding homonyms. "I sought terms that were starkly different from one another," Walsh said. "You didn't want any term that could be misinterpreted or misunderstood. For instance, `Break' and `Rake'—they wouldn't be any good together."
Prior associations must be considered, too. When Lions coach Bobby Ross once hired Zorn, he asked the assistant to write up some plays. The boss had a problem with one of them, a defensive coverage scheme. To Zorn, who figures he had memorized seven terminology systems since he joined the Seahawks as a rookie in 1976, the term "safeties hanging" meant they line up shallow. To Ross, "safeties hanging" suggested they soften up, retreat a few steps. (To Mike Ditka, it probably signified Chad Cora and Rob Kelly marched to the gallows after a blown coverage, but that's a different matter)… Zorn found a new phrase.
Coaches will negotiate with each other in such a manner. But if it's a player who complains of being confounded, they'll throw him a pat on the back and a playbook as thick as a Ken Starr footnoted report.
Players who move from team to team (or who welcome revolving regimes of coaches) must constantly revert to Lesson One: Basic Conversation. There are a few consistencies across the league, certainly. "Right" invariably means the tight end is lined up on the right side. "Split" or "I" always will refer to placement of the backs. Beyond that you had better consult your Berlitz NFL Phrase Book.
Coaches find themselves torn. They want to prevent overload, they really do. But they can't help adding another handy phrase or two. Some even change the "live" word, which activates an audible, every week.
"Who's to say someone won't forget?" Walsh said. "He'll be like a sentry walking on duty, muttering to himself, 'What the hell was that password?'"
It would be easy to assume that the simplest systems are always the best. But the Broncos and Packers are doing just fine with the complicated West Coast parlance…Still, when a play-term string runs 12 to 14 words, that's 12 to 14 opportunities to stumble–especially for those still learning. When a player does incorporate a new system, old terms tend to float in the dim pool of the subconscious, waiting to surface at the most inappropriate moments.
"I know I've been guilty many times," Beuerlein said. "Once in a while I'd hear a word, and for some unknown reason it would register the offense from three or four years back. I'd go out and run what I thought I was supposed to run. I'll get back to the sidelines, and the coach will ask, `What the heck was that?'
"And I'd say, `I just ran what you told us to run.' "
The legendary Paul Brown, coaching in Cleveland, created a numbering system for players and holes—odd for the left of center, even for the right—that is accepted today. For years, George Halas' Bears system of numbers and colors was the major competing model. It was used for years by the Giants, and then in Dallas, where Tom Landry unpacked it. The Halas system is nearing obsolescence now. But Sid Gillman, coaching in Los Angeles in the late '50s and San Diego in the early '60s, devised a language-based code that spread like Beat slang.
"Sid's system was as complex as any in history," said Bill Walsh. "He had a term for every pass pattern for every receiver. It took years for some people to learn."
Walsh picked up Gillman's vocabulary in Oakland (from Al Davis) and Brown's numbers in Cincinnati (from Brown himself), and when he became the 49ers' coach in 1979, he melded the two systems. Walsh's West Coast offense has been adapted by roughly half of the NFL teams since–and so has his language.
"Recently I saw Mike Shanahan on a TV feature," Walsh said before he died in 2007. "He called a play, and it was the exact terminology we used in San Francisco."
Meanwhile at Eagles rookie camp, undrafted free agent Jacory Harris and third-round draft pick Nick Foles are handling all the snaps at this camp, which is designed to get them to an acceptable level of speed to join the veterans for the first full-squad minicamp, which will begin May 22.
Foles on Saturday talked about the difficulty of transitioning to the Eagles' system from the one he was in at the University of Arizona.
"I tried to break [the playbook] down and learn the formations, learn the shifts and learn the alignments, not learning the plays first but just getting an idea of the protections," he said. "Then you go into the concepts and understand the formations and you can start plugging the concepts in. I try to dissect it in that way and not learn the plays and the formations because … that can be overwhelming, so I try and break it down to segments."
Mastering the offense often requires the equivalent of learning a new language, another aspect Foles covered after the first session.
"It's different, it's a challenge, but I'm enjoying it," he said. "I have a lot of work, and we get to watch the film right now and see the progressions. I think it went well today and the guys did really well. We have a lot to improve on of course because it's the first time all of us played together, but it's exciting to be out here and it's exciting to be an Eagle."
Defensive tackle Fletcher Cox, their first-round draft pick out of Mississippi State, sounds like he's been ready for this all his life.
"I'm handling it really good. Coach [defensive coordinator Chris] Wilson[at Mississippi State] did a really good job at preparing [us] for this next level, and we did a lot of things similarly," Cox said. "We get up, have breakfast, have a special team meeting, team meeting, individual meetings and then head out to practice. I kind of have a good outlook on it to begin with."
"… I came in here ready to compete. I really pride myself on competition and competing against the other guys."
Linebacker Mychal Kendricks, a second-round pick, exuded similar confidence, particularly when asked again if his "undersized" height (5-11) will prevent him from being able to cover NFL tight ends:
"At the end of the day, I'm going to have to go out there and do it," he responded. "And if I do it, I do it. If I don't, then I'll probably get cut. So everything is going to handle itself. That's why I'm saying it doesn't matter, because I'm going to try my hardest and do what I can do. Hopefully everything will take care of itself.
"So I don't really stress about it, and I don't think you guys should either."
Undrafted running back Chris Polk is stressing something completely different: perfection.
"[Coming] in from college, you feel like you know everything," Polk said. "But I'm just getting critiqued on the littlest things. I just really have to be a student of the game and perfect my craft and really accept the coaching and do whatever they ask me to do. Be the first one in and the last one to leave."
Like Foles, the language of the play calls is the most difficult thing for Polk to grasp.
"We ran a pro-style offense that had a lot of pass protection," he said. "It was generally the same thing… just with different wording, so I have to put the same things to different words. The hardest thing for me right now is getting the raw concepts in and also going through the checkdowns and stuff, all the different formations."
Like I said… Terminology.

The savings have been realised through a joint $631,000 project between the NT Department of Health and Alice Solar City, with outcomes released in a case study report today.
"In addition to making big savings, the project has helped inform and motivate energy management initiatives at the other four public hospitals in the Northern Territory", says Alice Solar City General Manager Sam Latz.

That's what you call a cock-up! (AS Groville vs FC Mufflins)
Those who are a little sensitive about seeing nude males should probably not watch this video. You've been warned.
Controversy hit French football this week after a referee was hounded during the match between AS Groville and FC Mufflins when a striker scored a goal with his 'tackle' out. Players from AS Groville protested against the referee at full time when the so-called penis goal was allowed to stand.
Footage of the incident can be seen here.
(P.S. taking life too seriously can be bad for your health.)

Somebody will come on here and say that "It's better than no job at all". LOL I was making 25 grand a year some 20 years ago without a college degree. This is exactly what the powerful want. They are slowly going to move in the direction of low wages for skilled work in the same vein as other countries. They will quit outsourcing jobs as soon as Americans are willing to work under the same conditions as the Chinese. That reporter really seemed excited about the wage scale too. Wow.

Nothing official yet, everybody, but the US is considering perhaps not monitoring the phone activity of foreign leaders we call friends. Germany's still incensed over revelations we kept tabs on Chancellor Angela Merkel's cell phone. "The administration will reserve the right to continue collecting intelligence in friendly countries that pertains to criminal activity, potential terrorist threats and the proliferation of unconventional weapons, according to several officials," says the New York Times. "It also appeared to be leaving itself room in the case of a foreign leader of an ally who turned hostile or whose actions posed a threat to the United States."
Marilyn B. Tavenner, who, you'd think, must have suspected being tapped as the person responsible for rolling out the Obamacare website might be a bit troublesome, is taking her lumps before a Congressional committee this morning. The problem with the still-malfunctioning healthcare.gov, according to Tavenner? Damned unaccountable private contractors.
Remember, you don't necessarily care about the hiccups at the federal site if you're trying to price the Affordable Care Act's subsidized insurance plans. Instead, expend your rage reserves on the still-not-functioning coveroregon.com.
Police Chief Mike Reese—trying to stave off new, stronger oversight from the civilian Independent Police Review Division—told city council last week the current system is "working very well." Nope, says City Auditor LaVonne Griffin-Valade.

The driver of a Jeep plowed into dozens of pedestrians near Beijing's Tiananmen Square yesterday, killing five and crashing explosively. If you can believe it, the Chinese government's playing this one pretty close to the vest.
I never watched the "Kony 2012" video, and I stand behind that decision. But this Washington Post story about American troops trying to track the infamous warlord is interesting.

text: I just downloaded the new cheat database and I turned on the codes for Pokemon Conquest(infinite turns, infinite link, etc) But, when I play the game, the cheats don't work. It works as if I never turned the cheats on in the first place. I'm using Acekard 2i with the latest AKAIO firmware(1.8.9z) and newest loaders. I tried it patched and unpatched(using the game modifier fix). Why won't the cheats work?
