Billing basics
Sign-up or upgrade
When you sign up for Google Apps for Business, you will automatically be granted a 30-day free trial. You need to have a domain name to use with your new Google Apps for Business account. If you do not already have a domain name, you can register a domain name through Google.
If you already have a Google Apps (free edition) account, you can upgrade to Google Apps for Business in your Dashboard and you will be granted a 30-day free trial.
30-day free trial
During the 30-day free trial period, you will need to set up a Billing and Payment plan in order to activate your paid subscription. You can cancel your 30 day free trial at any time before the trial end date. You can create up to 10 user accounts in the trial period.
It is important to set up a Billing and Payment plan before the end of your trial to avoid suspension. You will also need to verify a primary form of payment that will be used for automatic charging during your paid subscription period. Please note that different forms of payment have different verification times.
Payment plans
Two different payment plans are available. You will be charged at the beginning of each month in both plans.
- Flexible Plan - You have the flexibility to add and delete user accounts at anytime. You will only pay for the service that you use during the month. You will be billed monthly.
- Annual Plan - You are committing to Google Apps for a full year and get a discounted rate. You can add additional users anytime and will be billed on a monthly basis for a portion of the annual commitment.
Forms of payment
Two forms of payment may be used. Credit card payments are available to all Google Apps for Business customers. Depending on the location of your business, you may also pay by bank account withdrawal (direct debit).
Payment processing
Once you are in your paid subscription period and you have a valid primary form of payment specified, you will be charged automatically at the beginning of each month.
You can also pre-pay by making a manual payment to your account. The credit will be automatically debited at the beginning of each month, instead of your primary form of payment being automatically charged.
Purchase licenses
You can purchase additional licenses on the annual commitment plan, or you can create additional user accounts on the flexible plan.
You can select one of the various renewal options for the annual commitment plan, which will be applied on your subscription renewal date.
You can cancel your Google Apps for Business subscription at any time. If you cancel your annual commitment before the end of your subscription period, a closeout charge will be incurred.
If your automatic payment fails, your Google Apps for Business subscription may be suspended. Therefore, it is important to ensure that your payment forms are up to date and enabled in your account and/or that sufficient credit is available on the automatic charge date. If your account is suspended, you can lift your suspension by making a manual payment.

These are my favorites! You can put that steak knife away, because all you need is a butter knife and a fork. Or you could use 2 forks, they are that tender! I bought these for a small dinner party, and even though our "chef" was not exactly "sous", (we all got well done, whether we wanted it or not) they were still delicious as always! This was the first time I ordered the seasoned butter sauce and it was pure heaven. I will be sure to get some with my next order.Lisa A E. - Monroe, LA

These are consistently a very beautiful filet; always tender and juicy. The bacon is just an awesome bacon bonus. Do be sure to grill them properly on a gas or charcoal grill or open flame, as a broiler (or *gasp* frying pan) does NOT do them justice.Mark B. - Alexandria, VA

Fort Ward is the best preserved of the system of Union forts and batteries built to protect Washington, DC during the American Civil War (1861-1865). Fort Ward Museum interprets the site's history and offers exhibits on Civil War topics, education and interpretive programs, tours, lecture and video series, bus tours, and living history activities throughout the year. The Museum and Historic Site also interpret Alexandria, Virginia as an occupied city, the city's role as a vital Union Army crossroads, life within the Defenses of Washington, and the everyday life of Civil War soldiers and civilians.
The historic fort provides visitors with an excellent understanding of Civil War-era military engineering. About 90% of the fort's earthwork walls are preserved and the Northwest Bastion has been restored and reconstructed to its original condition.
To help tell the story of the City's Civil War past, the Office of Historic Alexandria is holding many special events and exhibitions throughout the Civil War Sesquicentennial. Witness to war and reunion, Alexandria's place in Civil War history is truly unique. Learn more about Alexandria during the war with a wide range of historic resources.
For Civil War Reenactors: The Fort Ward Museum enlists the talents and knowledge of reenactors to offer numerous living history programs interpreting Civil War soldier and civilian life. Programs contribute to the public's understanding of the period and enhance the Museum's educational mission.

Why do wolves howl?
Of all the myths that dog the wolf, none is more widely accepted than the idea that wolves howl at the moon. Images of wolves with their heads upturned, singing at the night sky, are as unquestioned as a goldfish's three-second memory or a dog's color-blindness (both also myths).
Smartphone kill switches are coming
Smartphones need kill switches. It's a relatively easy solution to the pricey (and irritating) problem of smartphone theft.

The cooperative spirit! It makes so much sense!

The cheetah...........
Main message board: for the discussion of topical track & field items only.
28 posts • Page 1 of 1
The cheetah...........
....is by far the fastest cat while the greyhound is the champion sprinter as far as dogs go. Is it possible that blacks are just the fastest humans?
I'm saying the reason we rarely see fast white guys is that they simply aren't built for speed unlike their black counterparts. I see it as merely a "physical" thing having absolutely nothing to do with culture or enviornment.
If a rich rancher adopted 8 children 4 white and 4 black and raised them identical by the time they were 14 that black 4x1 would be smoking their white brothers. Basketball would be a joke as would football. The white kids take the swimming.
Not trying to be "cute" here I'm dead serious!
The differnce's between black and white athlete's was never more evident than when tall graceful Wilma Rudolph won the 1960 Rome 100 meters. She stood out like a sore thumb as those white girls behind her were all over the place looking anything but graceful.
It's not obvious that the Chinese are built different than people from Samoa? Of course it is so we have to agree humans are not all built alike, could those differences in the black race result in superior speed,agility and quickness?
Who are those nifty white running backs in the NFL anyway?
Watch the meet from Portland today and we will not see a white sprinter.....why?

I said stats not names. I'll see if I can dig up racial breakdowns of the NBA by 5 or 10 year chunks. Picking and choosing players across eras is stupid. I can go back to the 40, 50s, and much of the 60s and win that game.
Re: The cheetah...........
If there are indeed more whites in the NBA now than a few years ago, my guess is that if you elminated all the foreign-borns there'd be no change at all.
Re: The cheetah...........
probably. but they're still white and thus their "physical" thing as Brutal describes it are the same. it's only their environment that is different.
Re: The cheetah...........
In the book,"The Super Athletes" by David Willoughby written in 1970 he gives a possible reason blacks have superior running speed.He states,"running speed is essentially the length
of one's stride multiplied by the number of strides per second.At any given stature, a blacks stride,in either sex, averages about 3 inches more than a white's.The longer the legs,relative to the stature, of blacks provide one explanation of why they make superior sprinters.In particular, the greater length in blacks of the lower leg in relation to the length of the thigh may be the reason.He also states,"women sprinters are capable of just as many strides pre second as men;however,their strides average only about 91 percent of the length on men's strides,and their sprinting time is consequently that much slower than men's."
Re: The cheetah...........
Willoughby's book, while a fascinating read about feats of strength, is, to say the least, largely the work of a guy given to wild flights of fantasy in comparing people across the ages. Very little science involved. Take it with many huge grains of salt.

Give me an example of why you say that.
Re: The cheetah...........
Science has proven
1.blacks have heavier bones
2.less fatty tissue
3.more fast twitch muscle fiber
4.arms/legs are longer in relationship with their torso
5.tend to have thinner calves
There has never been a white.....
Tommie Smith
Steve Williams
John Carlos
Randy Moss
Steve Riddick
Mark Witherspoon
Reggie Jones
Terrell Owens
Quincy Watts
Linford Christie
Carl Lewis
That is an athlete 6-2 or taller with great speed.
There has never been a white......
Bo Jackson
Christine Okoye
Earl Campbell
Hershel Walker
Marcus Dupree
Jimmy Brown
Curtis Dickey
Hasley Crawford
Jerome Bettis
Homer Jones
.......that is a big fast athlete over 200 pounds.
What white running back compares to....
Barry Sanders
Marshall Faulk
OJ Simpson
Walter Payton
Eric Dickerson
Tony Dorsett
Ahmad Green
Priest Holmes
Gale Sayers
Ollie Matson
........they just don't make um do they? Ok ok there was one his name was Hugh McElhenny way back in the 60's.
My point is there are tall/big fast elusive black athletes while we just don't see that with the white athlete. All the culture/enviornment in the world makes a guy 6-3 220 with 10.30 speed.
The word "fluid" also belongs here we just don't see white athletes with that "fluidity" we see in the black athlete.
And by the way I'm white.

I don't think you need look any further than the R.P. Williams post from yesterday, in which it was cited that Willoughby reported with a straight face that somebody ran 100y in 9-flat and 100m in 9.8 a hundred years ago.
(And yes, I have read the book, although that was 25 years ago.)

I know thats far fetched but I thought he was supposely a respected historian.
Re: The cheetah...........
Some of what Brutal says is true. Blacks have more of the fast twitch muscle fiber dedicated to speed, and release two to three times the level of certain enzymes during muscle contraction. Hence, the huge number of quick black athletes. On the other side, whites have more of the fast twitch muscle cells dedicated to strength, hence the overwhelming superiority of whites in events requiring strength and power. Blacks have denser bones through certain areas of the body, whites actually have denser bones than blacks in certain areas of the body (like the leg bones). Blacks tend to have a slightly narrower pelvis, an aid in sprinting, but a hinderance in lifting heavy weights. Whites have a deeper 'chest cavity' as well, meaning more area with more muscle in that region. People go by muscle definition and equate that with strength in blacks, when it is nothing more than body fat distributed differently than it is in whites. As a cooling mechanism, blacks and in fact other peoples like some S. American Indian tribes, carry their body fat concentrated in their gluteal region, while whites and E. Asians tend to have it more evenly distributed over their frames, having come from colder climates.
All this being said, (yes, I was actually involved in some tests on athletes from different racial groups - and Entine is disingenous on occasion - leaving out info that doesn't fit with what he wants to use to gain attention through controversy) there have been found white athletes with the make up to be sprinters during some testing, but they were far, far less in number than the percentage of blacks suited for sprinting. The US culture what it is, the media being what it is today, also contribute to a smaller number of whites involved at the top levels of certain activities than we would we see if they actually competed/tried out for certain sports at the rate blacks do.
This carries over to the old "White Men Can't Run" article bac in '92. Burfoot caught Hell because he predicted that black Africans would win every distance event. A Spaniard won the 1500, a German won the 5k, a Moroccan the 10k, a Korean won the marathon, Kenyans won the 800 and steeple. That's why he caught all the flack. Never say never.
Lost in all the hub bub over this and some other controversial articles etc. is the same reserchers also showed and believe that there are whites with the capabilities to be top flight distance runners, but their participation levels had been dropping by the mid 80's with the popularity of soccer soaring in Europe, among other things. The research also shows that it's possible that whites should have higher numbers or actually dominate in the 800/1500 due to a preponderance of physical traits advantageous to running those races.
Reserach also showed blacks to have higher levels of muscle coordination in certain areas, whites in others. Black sprinters tend to look much more smooth than whites, and when you look at whites swimming compared to blacks, the whites simply move with more coordination. People can say it's racist, but they are denying reality.
Sure, other factors are involved. An outstanding white HS football player at certain positions will almost never be offered a scholarship to a major school due to some stereotyping. Despite claims to the contrary, this does not happen with black athletes, witness the spectacle of some blacks being used as QB's, or left as starters, or receivng inordinate amounts of press that don't actually relate to their on the field performance.
There has been an influx, and it will increase, of white players into the NBA the last two years or so, but they are almost all from Europe. That says a lot about the mental state of whites in this country. Note that the US lost the World Champs in BB last year, again, and it took some screwy officiating in Sydney to allow our NBA guys to grab two narrow wins to hang on to the gold.
All in all, blacks have a higher percentage of individuals suited for certain athletic activities, like sprinting, long jumping, basketball. Whites have a higher percentage of individuals suited for excellence in swimming, weightlifting, etc. So what?
Re: The cheetah...........
(excuse the typos in my post above, I was typing really fast, and should have proofread, but you get the gist)
Re: The cheetah...........
Brutal has always been a flamer,,banned from several message boards..this is your turn now..he will get worse..and worse..then you will realize that all he wants is attention..he is ignorant
Re: The cheetah...........
I find OldMan's above remark offensive -- a much worse flame than anything I've seen from Brutal. I see no basis for this gratuitous insult.
Re: The cheetah...........
How about naming "all" those boards I've been banned from I'm dying to see this.
Re: The cheetah...........
Some of the posts in this thread have been deleted, presumably by gh. Since I was one of them, was mine offensive or were a whole group thrown out as pushing the thread in the 'wrong' direction?
Re: The cheetah...........
Indirectly by me, yes. I don't have the technical savvy to manipulate a Board, so I leave that up to our Internet Editor.
I asked him to specifically remove the initial "Rufus" post which made comments about blacks having lower IQs. "Rufus" said he was black, but since that was a screen name only and becuase that's a name that for years has been used by whites as generic derogatory term for black men I decided it should go.
Re: The cheetah...........
Curious what others think of Jonathan Edwards.
Pure statistical anomaly?
Or does his success suggest that white sprinters and jumpers aren't as hopeless as we've come to think they are?
Re: The cheetah...........
On the mens side it was it was a white west german and in the 200m it was an Italian...so much for your theory .
Re: The cheetah...........
While the question of why blacks disproportionately dominate many sports is something I would love to see scientifically analyzed, Brutal's comparison of cheetahs/cats to blacks/humans is completely dopey. A cheetah is a distinct species of cat. To my knowledge, cheetahs can't mate with other cats. Blacks are not a separate species of human, they are simply a group of humans that have developed some minor physical differences from other human populations. At the end of the day, we're all just human. And given the way our world is shrinking and our various populations are becoming increasingly mobile and less isolated, it's likely that race will become an obsolete concept in a couple of centuries. If we're going to analyze this question, could we please start from a more scientifically sound place than this?
Re: The cheetah...........
The last time I checked the cheetah was just a cat.
My point was pretty obvious I thought, that being that humans like any other life form are different from one another. Could speed be one of those differences? I'm saying that yes it can. Not unlike the cheetah or the greyhound.
Tell me the avg Asia isn't smaller than the avg caucasian. So ya see there are differences for sure. Why not speed?
Re: The cheetah...........
We've already established that there are differences, but isn't that the essence of humanity, we accept and cherish our differences? As was said before, so what? Yao is Asian and he's pretty big.
Re: The cheetah...........
I think the "so what" is that white American sprinters have given up, which is too bad for the sport.
Just a personal opinion, but I think the great appeal of T&F is that, like soccer, it is a truly world competition. It draws from all countries, races, ethnicities.
It simply would be interesting to see a few white Americans running sub 10s, 20s, and 44s . . . which is what I think Bobby Morrow, David Sime and Mike Larabee could do with today's training and surfaces.
Isn't the NBA more interesting with Yao and the Euros? Isn't golf infinitely better off (and more respected as a sport) because of Woods?
Re: The cheetah...........
A few years back there was a book called "Taboo: Why Blacks Dominate Sports and Why We're Afraid to Talk About It". The two statements about black athletes and sports were taken as axiomatic, but obviously WE'RE not afraid to talk about it.
Do black athletes really dominate sports? They dominate basketball (although less than a decade ago). If one group dominates baseball, it's Latin Americans. Blacks may currently have a few dominant athletes in golf and tennis, but they most certainly do not dominate the sports and never did. Blacks dominate some but by no means all positions in American football. And they don't dominate all the track and field events, but generally only the ones Americans dominate. Black athletes do not dominate ice hockey, soccer, cycling, auto racing, field hockey, badminton, table tennis, judo, yachting, wrestling, swimming, polo, or just about any of the sports that are popular outside of the USA. The vast majority of Olympic medal winners are not black.
The most accurate statement is that black Americans dominate American sports. There is one notable exception: Africans clearly dominate men's distance running (although a considerable portion of them, the north Africans, would be better described as Arabic than black). If you care to read my analysis of Kenyan, Ethiopian, and Finnish culture as it relates to their elite male distance runners, it will be published soon at www.trackshark.com.
I would add that it's generally recognized that high achievers in any competitive endeavor, sports or otherwise, combine exceptional natural abilities with exceptional work habits. Three simple examples are Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and Bill Clinton. From this viewpoint, another way to question the phenomenon is "Why do black Americans with high achievement orientation overwhelmingly cast their lot in sports?"

The brand history of Diesel
Diesel has long been a leading pioneer in denim and casual fashion, known for moving outside and ahead of trends in its industry.
While always retaining it's DNA, in recent years Diesel has evolved into the world of premium casual wear, becoming a true alternative to the established luxury market.
Beginning as a company focused on making quality clothing, Diesel has become part of the youth culture worldwide. When Renzo Rosso founded the company in 1978, he wanted it to be a leader, a company that took chances and carved out a niche for itself in its field. He surrounded himself with creative, talented people - innovators who, like him, rejected the slavish trend following typical of the fashion industry. He wanted to create the most dynamic and imaginative product available anywhere: he gave his open-minded design team broad stylistic freedom, and their mission was to create an apparel line perfect for independent people who follow their own unique path in life and for those style-makers who express their individuality by the way they dress.
From the very beginning, Diesel's design team, turned their backs on the style-dictators and consumer forecasters of the fashion establishment and let their own personal tastes lead them. The company views the world as a single, border-less macro-culture, and the Diesel staff reflects this: a cosmopolitan team that creates an unpredictable, dynamic vitality and energy within the company.
Diesel ''people'' and their working methods are so unconventional, albeit productive, that they have been profiled in countless media, and have been studied by international consulting organizations and universities.

These attractive office bookcases designed to keep your books on proud display yet in easy reach. We have wood bookcases and metal bookshelves as well as models that are constructed from laminates and veneers. Whatever your preferences and budgetary concerns are, you can find what you need at Hertz Furniture.
Each bookshelf material has distinct advantages. Steel bookcases are super sturdy and strong. Their shelves have an incredible weight capacity which is especially useful if you want to support heavy encyclopedias or hardcover books. It is unlikely that they will get chipped or damaged, and they won't get bent out of shape with long-term use.
Solid wood bookcases are also very strong and have a natural appeal that is befitting a professional space. If you like the look of natural wood, but are looking for something that is a bit less pricey, laminate and wood veneers have the same visual appeal as solid wood but are available at more budget-friendly prices. However, if your budget can include solid wood, this option is always ideal because it will last longer and is more likely to stay in shape.
No matter which material you prefer and what you want to put on your bookcases, adjustable shelving is always convenient. Books come in all different shapes and sizes, so you want to be sure that you can maximize your shelf capacities. Make sure to check the weight capacity of each shelf in your bookcase. Some of our units are available with extra-strong excalibur shelves to support your heaviest books.
Bookcases aren't all about open shelving. We have many models that offer more varied arrangements. If you want a combination of display space and covered storage, choose a unit that has shelving above with a cabinet below. For a truly elegant setup, we have office bookcases with glass doors. This arrangement protects contents while keeping them on display.
In a professional setting, you need to consider more than just strength, arrangement and capacity. To ensure that your company projects a reliable and experienced image, it is important to coordinate every piece of furniture that is in your offices. Make sure that bookcase colors match with the existing decor in your workspace. In order to have the most coordinated space possible, you can choose bookshelves from the same office furniture collection as your executive desk and accessories.
An attractive office does not have to be monochromatic. While ordering many pieces in the same wood stain is one way to create a coordinated space, there are alternatives. Rather than having many pieces in the exact same hue, you can order a number of different stain colors that complement each other. This will add a bit of variety and diversity to the space. Elegant edge detailing can also add a stately flair.
Bookcases come with different numbers of shelves. If you want to hold as many books as possible, you probably want floor-to-ceiling models. Corner units maximize all of the space in your office by using areas that are harder to fit things into. Low bookcases are a great choice if you just want to display a particular set or a few things. You can display pictures on the top surface of lower models and hang diplomas or artwork above them.
Choosing an office bookcase involves many factors and considerations. With Hertz Furniture's wide selection of attractive functional models, trying to figure out which model is ideal can be overwhelming. If you need help determining exactly what you are looking for or you are having trouble deciding between a few similar models, contact the Hertz Design Center for free consultations and project-planning advice.

If mobile storage is what you need, there are many models which have the strength of steel supported by sturdy casters. Locking casters keep cabinets secured in position when they are not on the move.

Sandusky filing cabinets have a one-key locking system which protects confidential information from prying eyes while providing easy access to authorized personnel who need it.
Books can get quite heavy, especially if they have hard covers or many pages, as a significant proportion of library books do. Steel bookshelves offer the support that you need for any type of literature at a budget-friendly price. If you use bookcases that are not very strong, they will begin to sag very quickly, however, steel bookcases are super sturdy and will stay in shape through many years of supporting books. Durable school library furniture will display your books attractively for many years.

IBM Privacy Policy
Duration: 60 minutes
Across the healthcare industry, we are seeing forward-thinking organizations develop new competencies in anticipation of the opportunity that comes with industry-wide transformation. They are positioning themselves for success. And they are defining the future of healthcare.
The shift away from volume-based, fee-for-service reimbursement models is fueling widespread transformation throughout the healthcare ecosystem, laying the foundation for a more purposeful and integrated system to emerge. It also means that every member of the healthcare ecosystem must reconsider its strategy, business models and operating structure ultimately redefining what value and success means to each.
Now is the time for healthcare leaders to redefine value for their stakeholders and consumers, and success for their organizations.
Join us in IBM's Smarter Healthcare and Life Science Virtual Briefing Center for a panel discussion with IBM thought leaders on the incredible opportunities to achieve end-to-end integrated value for stakeholders and consumers, while on the path transforming the industry to a performance-based, outcomes-driven healthcare system of the future.

Unfortunately, with so much information available, it's easy to become confused about what's really best for them. To cut through the clutter, Dr. Ashley Gallagher, veterinarian at Friendship Hospital For Animals and petMD contributor, sheds some light on some of the most common pet myths.
Myth 1: If cats have nine lives, what do dogs have?
Cats' curious nature and quick reaction times are likely the basis of the nine lives reputation, but in reality owners need to remember that both cats and dogs only have one life. That is why it's important to schedule regular veterinary visits to ensure your pet has a long, healthy and happy one. Going to the veterinarian shouldn't only be reserved for times when your pet is sick. Your pet needs annual wellness check-ups, vaccines, dental exams and nutritional consultations, just like humans do.
Myth 2: Table scraps are OK.
Did you know that one ounce of cheddar cheese for a 20-pound dog is like a human eating more than one and a half chocolate bars? That same piece of cheese for a 10-pound cat is like eating almost three full chocolate bars! Table scraps are basically empty calories for cats and dogs. They need precisely balanced nutrition for their specific life stage and special needs to remain healthy. A food like Hill's Science Diet is great because it gives them exactly what they need without any excess nutrients that might be harmful.
Myth 3: Dogs wag their tail when they are happy.
Dogs wag their tail for many reasons; the most common is that they are either happy or nervous. Cats will also wag or flick their tail when they are upset or thinking. Pets communicate via complex body language rather than vocal expression like humans. Learning to read what your pet is telling you will go a long way in helping to build a fulfilling relationship. Ask your veterinarian for advice if you feel stuck learning your pet's body language cues.
Myth 4: Letting my dog out in the yard is enough exercise.
Dogs and cats both need plenty of physical activity and mental stimulation to stay healthy. If you just leave your dog out in the yard alone they might not get much of either. It's important to take them for walks, play fetch or simply run around together. Not only will it make for a happier, healthier dog, but it will also help to strengthen your relationship. Cats should be kept indoors for their safety, but there are plenty of toys that work their brains and their bodies at the same time. Visit your local pet store to find some toys that fit the bill.
Each pet is unique, so ongoing care, including precisely balanced nutrition, regular wellness visits to the vet and daily play periods are all good things that keep your pet healthy and living well for many years to come.

When you want cozy warmth in a lightweight, half-zip style, the Thermo ½ Zip is a layering piece you'll love. Featuring Polartec®Power Dry® fabric, this fleece provides toasty warmth that's light to wear and easy to pack. Added stretch offers plenty of freedom of movement, while the dual-tone color design offers plenty of style.
Polartec® Power Dry® fabrics are designed to keep your skin dry when you sweat. Ideal for runners, skiers, and adventure travelers, all fabrics feature a patented bi-component knit construction that uses different yarns on either side of the fabric. This creates two different surfaces: one that is optimized to move moisture away from the skin, the other to dry quickly.
This is why Marmot has chosen to use Power Dry® fabrics for our new ThermalClime Sport and Pro baselayer series.
"Touch points" on the fabric inner surface draw moisture. Sweat is wicked off the skin to the outside of the fabric where it spreads rapidly for evaporation. Polartec® Power Dry® fabrics move at least 30% more moisture away from the skin than single-component fabrics.
When the sweat reaches the outside of the fabric, it spreads out on the outer surface of the fabric, enabling it to dry at least 2 times faster than cotton.
Weight: 1lbs 0oz (453.6g)
Content: 92% Polyester, 8% Elastane
Why do we encourage proper care of our clothing and gear?
Because you have invested in (or are thinking about investing in) one of the most technically advanced pieces of apparel or equipment you'll ever own and we want to make sure you have the information you need to protect and care for your purchase. Proper care assures you will optimize the performance of your Marmot product and maximize its service-life.

Melasma is a skin condition where brown patches appear on the skin. These patches usually appear on the cheeks, nose, forehead, chin, and upper lip. Patches can also appear on the neck and forearms.
It is common during pregnancy, but can happen in men and women.
The brown patches are due to an increased amount of melanin in the skin. The exact cause of increase in melanin is unknown. It is thought to be associated with hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. Sun exposure also plays a major role.
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your chance of melasma include:
- Family history of melasma
- Being a woman of reproductive age
- Having a darker skin tone
- Pregnancy
- Getting too much sun exposure
- Taking birth control pills
- Using products that irritate the skin, such as cosmetics
- Taking certain medicines, such as antiseizure medicines, or hormone therapy
The only sign of melasma is dark patches of skin. It is not painful or itchy.
Not all brown patches on your skin are melasma. Talk to your doctor about changes in your skin.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. Your skin will be examined. A lamp, called a Wood's lamp, may be used to look at your skin. A small sample of skin may be taken for a biopsy. The sample will be sent to a lab to confirm the diagnosis.
Melasma may go away on its own. If it does not go away, it may need to be treated. In general, treating melasma can be difficult. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you.
Removing Cause
Factors that are causing the melasma may be removed. For example:
- Melasma associated with pregnancy may slowly fade after giving birth
- Melasma associated with birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy may fade after the medication is stopped
It can reappear and become darker if you become pregnant again or resume taking medication.
Ultraviolet Light Protection
Protecting your skin from UV light is important in helping to fade melasma. This means avoiding sun and tanning bed exposure. Your doctor may recommend wearing sunscreen, clothing, and hats when outdoors.
Depigmenting Medications
Certain medicines, like bleaching creams, are used to lighten skin color. A common bleaching cream used to treat melasma is hydroquinone . This may also be used with other creams, like tretinoin , corticosteroids, azelaic acid or glycolic acid. These creams enhance the skin-lightening effect.
Your skin may be sensitive to these medicines. Use care and start slowly when first using them. It may take several months before you see an improvement.
Other Treatments
Other treatments remove outer layers of the skin. Examples include:
- Chemical peel
- Microdermabrasion—removing top layer of skin
- Laser therapy
Along with treatment, avoid using products that can irritate your skin. These include make-up, creams, and cleansers.
To help reduce your chance of getting melasma, take the following steps:
- Limit the amount of time you spend in the sun. Avoid using tanning booths.
- Use sunscreen daily. Wear sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays and has an SPF of 30 or more.
