AL-ARISH: Armed tribesmen freed two Brazilian women and an Egyptian police officer who was with them late Sunday, hours after abducting them in the Sinai desert, a security official said.
The head of security in Egypt's south Sinai, Mahmoud Hefnawi, said the two tourists and the police officer were released unharmed.
Earlier Sunday, six armed men with covered faces approached the tour bus carrying the Brazilian women and took the two and the police officer off the bus. The remaining passengers were allowed to go.
The tourists were near the sixth century St. Catherine's Monastery at the foot of Mount Sinai, one of Egypt's most popular tourist sites.
A spokesman for the Brazilian Foreign Ministry said the bus was carrying about 45 Brazilian tourists when it was stopped by the group of armed Bedouins. The official was not allowed to give his name in line with government policy.
Hefnawi said the kidnappers agreed to release the three after tribal elders spoke to them. He said the three were held in a mountainous area 70 kilometers (40 miles) from Mt. Sinai and were served tea and dried fruit while in captivity.
Brazil's Foreign Ministry said negotiations to free the women were handled by the Egyptian Interior Ministry, closely followed by the Brazilian Embassy in Cairo.
Tribesmen in the area have abducted tourists in recent weeks to pressure Egyptian authorities to release their own detained relatives.
An Egyptian official said the abductors were identified as Bedouins from the area who have a relative detained on possession of drugs and illegal weapons. He spoke on condition of anonymity in line with police rules.
Sunday's abduction was the latest in a series of kidnappings in Sinai, which has seen a surge in lawlessness over the last year.
Last month, three South Korean women and two American women were kidnapped near the monastery in separate incidents. They were released unharmed.
Hefnawi said the men who kidnapped the Brazilian tourists were apparently the same ones who abducted the Americans. –Associated Press writer Juliana Barbassa in Rio de Janeiro contributed to this report.

Was "The Social Network" not enough to fill your desire for all things Mark Zuckerberg? Lucky for you there is now a comic book.
A biographical comic book about the life and times of Facebook's young leader is now on bookstore shelves.
Canadian comic book company Bluewater Productions put together the 48-page animated biography of Zuckerberg.
The company said it put out the book partly because Zuckerberg is the world's youngest billionaire and few know a lot about him and because of Facebook's impact on the world.
Mashable reports that there are also plans to turn the comic book into an animated movie. Until then, you can get the comic book for $6.99.

UNITED NATIONS -- The U.N. Security Council on Thursday authorized military action to wrest northern Mali from the control of al-Qaida-linked extremists but demanded progress first on political reconciliation, elections and training African troops and police.
A resolution adopted unanimously by the U.N.'s most powerful body stressed that there must be a two-track plan, political and military, to reunify the country, which has been in turmoil since a coup in March.
The Security Council authorized an African-led force to support Malian authorities in recovering the north -- an area the size of Texas -- but set no timeline for military action. Instead, it set out benchmarks to be met before the start of offensive operations, beginning with progress on a political roadmap to restore constitutional order.
The resolution also emphasizes that further military planning is needed before the African-led force is sent to the north and asks Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to "confirm in advance the council's satisfaction with the planned military offensive operation."
U.N. peacekeeping chief Herve Ladsous said recently he does not expect a military operation to begin until September or October of next year.
France's U.N. Ambassador Gerard Araud told reporters Thursday it's premature to say when the military operation will take place because African and Malian troops must be trained and much depends on the political process and the country's extreme weather.
"Our goal would be to have a real political process which will allow the Malian army to go back to its barracks in the northern part of the country without fighting," he said. "That would be our preferred option."
Mali was plunged into turmoil after a coup in March created a security vacuum. That allowed the secular Tuaregs, who have long felt marginalized by Mali's government, to take half the north as a new homeland. But months later, the rebels were kicked out by Islamist groups allied with al-Qaida, which have now imposed strict Shariah law in the north.
Many residents of northern Mali have expressed deep dismay at the timetable for the intervention, saying that the longer the world waits, the more entrenched the militants are becoming.
El Hadji Baba Haidara, a member of the Malian parliament for the northern city of Timbuktu, welcomed the resolution "in the hope of seeing our cities liberated as soon as possible."
"If we have wished for this resolution, it's not to wipe out our people with soldiers but rather to drive out the armed groups who occupy our towns," he said.
Timbuktu's Mayor Ousmane Halle said Wednesday in a telephone interview that he feels abandoned by the West, and that only people who are not living through what he and his citizens are living through could consider holding off military action until next fall. "A living hell," he said.
Coup members created new political turmoil earlier this month when they arrested the country's prime minister -- a move that raised new concerns about the ability of the Malian military to take part in the operation to retake the north. The Security Council strongly condemned the Malian security forces for their continued interference in the work of the transitional authorities, and stressed the need to expeditiously restore democratic governance and constitutional order.
As the council spent months negotiating over what action to take, an Islamist group behind public executions and amputations in northern Mali, Ansar Dine, or "Defenders of the Faith," has expanded its reach. The fighters, whose territory includes Timbuktu, have stoned to death a couple accused of adultery, hacked off the hands of thieves and have recruited children as young as 12 into their ranks. Heavily armed men also have attacked bars that sell alcohol, and banned men and women from socializing in the streets.
Ansar Dine has been attracting new members because it is now seen as the only Islamist group in the north that can be brought to the negotiating table, analysts say. That's in part because their leaders are all Malian nationals who own property in north Mali and stand to lose the most if an international military operation succeeds.
On Nov. 13, the African Union asked the Security Council to endorse a military intervention to free northern Mali. The plan, agreed to by leaders of the West African bloc known as ECOWAS, called for 3,300 soldiers to be deployed to Mali for an initial period of one year.
The resolution authorizes an African-led International Support Mission in Mali, to be known as AFISMA, for an initial period of one year but makes no mention of its size. It welcomes troop contributions pledged by ECOWAS and calls on member states, including from the neighboring Sahel region, to contribute troops to the mission. Council diplomats say the best-trained African troops in desert warfare are from Chad, Mauritania and Niger.
Mali's Foreign Minister Tieman Hubert Coulibaly called the resolution "a historic step," adding that his government "commits itself fully" to fulfilling its obligations under the resolution.
Yossoufou Bamba, speaking on behalf of ECOWAS, said the resolution "meets the expectations of all the African continent" and responds to the danger posed by the increasing presence of terrorist groups in the north. The African Union's U.N. envoy Tete Antonio called the adoption "a major step forward."
The final draft was a compromise between France which was pressing for authorization and the United States, which questioned the readiness of troops from Mali and ECOWAS to fight in the desert. It wanted the mission to be authorized initially to train the Malian army and police and then to help recover the north.
The resolution stresses the importance of reconciliation, urging the transitional authorities to finalize a transitional roadmap to restore constitutional order, including holding elections by April "or as soon as technically possible."
The council asked the secretary-general to provide support in critical areas to help the Malian government extend its authority during or following a military operation, including in the rule of law, removing land mines and promoting national dialogue and regional cooperation.
The Security Council expressed its readiness to consider "appropriate measures," which could include sanctions, against those whose actions undermine peace, stability and security, "including those who prevent the implementation of the constitutional order in Mali." It also reiterated its readiness to impose additional targeted sanctions against rebel groups and individuals that don't cut ties to al-Qaida and its affiliates, including al-Qaida in Islamic Maghreb and the Movement of Unity and Jihad in Western Africa.
As for funding, the resolution asks the secretary-general to set up a trust fund to support the operation and calls on member states and international organizations to provide financial support to enable its deployment. The council also expressed its intention to consider providing "a voluntary and a United Nations-funded logistics support packages to AFISMA, including equipment and services for an initial period of one year."

One look at linebacker Rey Maualuga tells you this is one nasty, nasty player. USC held its spring game Saturday, and Maualuga was buzzing around the L.A. Coliseum tattooing ball carrier after ball carrier. With talent like this — along with the new crop of Song Girls — it's easy to see why the Trojans are expect nothing less than a national title this fall.
Quarterback John David Booty was sharp, completing 15 of 17 passes for two touchdowns, including this toss to Patrick Turner. Coach Pete Carroll can be seen trailing the play.You never know what delights might spring up at a USC game. Example: the photo to the right. ... Former USC running backs were also in abundance. That's Petros Papadakis, below left, who is a radio personality at KLAC and a TV analyst for Fox Sports. Anthony Davis, below right, scored six touchdowns in the 1974 game against Notre Dame. He's a real estate developer who underwent gastric bypass surgery in March 2006. Unlike Crewcut Charlie Weis, Davis' surgery appears to have been a success.
Charles White, below left in the second set of photos, was the 1979 Heisman Trophy winner for USC. Future Trojan running back Mark Tyler was spotted talking to a reporter. He is the son of former UCLA running back Wendell Tyler. And Arkansas fans take note: Mitch Mustain, your former quarterback, also was in attendance. This was Mustain's second visit to USC and it's all but a lock that he will become a Trojan.
Beefy defensive tackle Averell Spicer, below, spent considerable time signing autographs. Check out the large "SC" tattoo on his right bicep. Fans also lined up outside the Coliseum to get autographs, and Booty, bottom photo, was among the most popular players.
If you have photos from your team's spring game and would like to share them with our audience, please send them to dawizofodds (at) aol.com. Previous spring game coverage: Auburn.

ARDMORE, OK - Douglas P. Wendel was chosen to lead the Ardmore Tigers football program next season as the new athletic director/head football coach.
Wendel comes to Ardmore from Eustace, Texas. He makes his return to Oklahoma after several years in the state of Texas. Wendel is a graduate of Eufala High school, and an alumnus of Oklahoma State University.
Former Ardmore Football coach Ronnie Tipps was on the search committee. He says after what he did in Eustace, he knew Wendel was the right man for the job.
"He was able to come in and kind of change the culture of the kids, the school, and the community just with his personality and the kind of person that he is," Tipps said.
Wendel says he and his family are excited to be headed to Southern Oklahoma.
"There were three things we came up with, and one was we wanted an exceptional town. We feel like Ardmore provides that. We wanted a school district with a strong track record of high standards, and third we wanted a place that could vie for a state championship," Wendel says.
Tipps says Wendel has his priorities in the right place.
"He was kid-centered, and if we, within our community, within our school district can make decisions that are based on kid-centered decisions, then I know we are going to be moving forward in a positive way."
Wendel's hiring was announced at Ardmore's school board meeting Monday night. Wendel is replacing local legend Larry McBroom.

The Bay Area's single-family home market is leaving the darkest days of the housing crash behind, a report from housing information company DataQuick showed Thursday.
For six months or more, median single-family home prices have gained by double digits on a yearly basis in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties, DataQuick said.
Foreclosures are edging closer to normal levels and sales of midpriced homes are increasing. While there are too few houses on sale to meet the demand, the market is looking up, real estate experts say.
"Everybody's forgotten where we were," said Jennifer Branchini, president-elect of the Bay East Association of Realtors. "It wasn't a great place."
In Alameda County, the median price of $402,000 in February was up 15.5 percent from February 2012; Contra Costa County's $305,000 was up 25.8 percent; San Mateo saw a 22.6 percent gain to $692,500, and Santa Clara County's $625,000 was up 27.6 percent.
Median sales prices for existing single-family homes in the Bay Area have climbed back 44.6 percent since they hit bottom in March 2009 during a wave of low-end foreclosure sales and a dormant mid- to high-end market.
Year-over-year prices have been increasing for months through a combination of market forces, including too few homes for sale and a gaggle of free-spending investors, many of them paying premium prices in cash. Investors include hedge funds, foreign buyers drawn to what are relatively low prices compared with real estate in their home countries, and mom-and-pop buyers of one or two homes for retirement income.
"There is quite a bit of excitement out there," said Carl San Miguel, president of the Santa Clara County Association of Realtors. "But there's a new battle because of the limited inventory, with frustration from buyers making offers and coming back empty-handed."
Sales in Santa Clara County dropped 15.1 percent from a year earlier; San Mateo County was down 23.8 percent; Contra Costa County fell 6.1 percent and Alameda County was down 2 percent.
Many move-up buyers are still on the fence, said Jennifer Hatter of Empire Realty in Danville.
"Move-up buyers are afraid to put their houses on the market without knowing where they're going to go," she said. "They're afraid. What if they can't get another house?"
Steve Wilner, a sales executive and client of Hatter's, just sold a Pleasanton home with six offers, five of which were above asking price. "I wouldn't want to be a buyer in this market," he said. "As a seller, we held all the cards."
"Everything that gets listed is going into contract very quickly," said Bob Barrie of Keller Williams in Campbell. Barrie said the number of Santa Clara County homes and condos put up for sale has been growing this month, however.
"In a month or two, I think you'll see sales explode," he said.
The drying up of foreclosures was evident in a shift from sales of low-priced homes to more expensive homes in Contra Costa County. Total sales of all types of houses there that were priced under $300,000 fell 28.8 percent from the previous year, while sales between $300,000 and $800,000 were up 34.7 percent, according to DataQuick.
Across the nine-county Bay Area, condo prices were almost unchanged from January but up 35.4 percent from February 2012 to a median of $325,000.
Buyers paying all cash accounted for a record 31.9 percent of all sales in the nine-county Bay Area in February, compared with a monthly average of 12.9 percent going back to 1988.
Absentee buyers, which the company said are "mostly investors," purchased 28.2 percent of all Bay Area homes, also an all-time high in data going back to 2000.
Sales of distressed property — mostly foreclosures and short sales — made up 35 percent of the market for existing homes. Short sales predominated, as foreclosures, which peaked at 52 percent of the market in February 2009, have dropped to 13.6 percent of sales, closer to average levels. The average over the past 17 years is about 10 percent, DataQuick said.

I was thinking the other day about skill atrophy - the opposite of advancement. What I mean precisely is a system that takes a use-it-or-lose-it approach to even maintaining skill proficiency.
I was thinking that the current iteration of FATE, as implemented in the Dresden Files RPG, provides a mechanism for skill atrophy in the Milestone mechanic where two skills can have their ratings swapped - so you could provide a mechanical representation of this scenario:
"I've been fixing cars a lot lately, which used to be my hobby, but since the zombie apocalypse started, I sure haven't spent much time practicing my oboe, which used to be my profession."
But while I'm aware of games that provide for automatic skill increases (as in this question: What game systems determine skill levels only through use?), I'm not aware of any that provide for automatic skill decreases when skills go unused.
I know that I could implement this mechanic without too much trouble - but does anyone know of an existing game that uses a mechanic like this?
EDIT: It seems to be that the general consensus is, "This is one of those things that seems like a good idea. But when it comes down to implementation, the amount of fun generated is not worth the amount of bookkeeping required for a straight use-it-or-lose-it rule. That's why most games that embrace this concept go with something more abstract, like the DFRPG solution or the skill limits mentioned in the answers".

The NAVIGON apps are feature rich navigation apps that includes user selected downloadable maps. This allows you to travel without depending on a data connection for your maps. It also helps save on storage space in that you only download the maps you need.
Just as with the NAVIGON USA app, version 4.5 of NAVIGON Europe has all the features of the Windows Phone 7 version save the Text-to-Speech feature which will be added in an upcoming update.
Just to recap some of NAVIGON's features, they include:
- Traffic Live
- NAVIGON MyRoutes
- Active Lane Assistant
- Speed Assistant
- Safety Camera
- Weather Live
- Extended Pedestrian Navigation
- Destination entry with coordinates
- Can be used in portrait and landscape format
- Automatic day and night mode
- Direct access and navigation to contacts saved in the smartphone's address book
- Take Me Home function with a single click
- Route planning function
NAVIGON Europe is running $99.99 and NAVIGON USA should run $49.99. Keep in mind that NAVIGON Europe covers maps for forty European countries. The U.S. version covers all fifty States but not Canada. You also have the Latest Map Guarantee from NAVIGON that guarantees you have the latest maps (provided by NAVTEQ) available on your Windows Phone.
You can find NAVIGON Europe here at the Windows Phone Store and NAVIGON USA here.

I went looking on Merck website and after a small run around, found a number that we NEED to bombard with calls. That is how a company figures out that its product is needed. I am 58 and have had FULL false teeth since I was 25. This product was a godsend for me to get back to eating again. I used everything on the market years past, to hold them. Then I found cushion grip!!! I TOLD EVERYONE about it and even bought the first tube for many. I promise I have sold many thousands of tubes!!! I will CALL that company EVERY WEEK for the next YEAR or more, until they bring it back! If you really want it back, I suggest you and your family and friends do the same. WE are the ones that can get that product back on store shelves soon if we pull together, so I ask you all, how important is it to you? The squeaky wheel gets the grease!!! Their number is 1-800-317-2165 m-f, 8a-5p CST. I and my LARGE family will take this fight to their doorsteps today!! Please join me to get cushion back to us!
I have already called to give my feedback, if all Cushion Grip user give feedback
I hope & pray that Merck & Co. Inc. Will start to sell this product again
I'm just curious how they compare?
For example, Crayola crayons are non toxic, but they probably shouldn't be consumed.
Just my 2 cents worth, bit I would like to see FDA APPROVED on it
P S they have found crayons contain a higher lead count then is allowed. They are made in china......
sign the petition and follow us on Facebook
Disappointed in New York ...
Thanks for listening
Joan Rodriguez
They are $2.50 a bag for white and $3.00 a bag in pink. Here's the link. http://dental-distortions-shopify.myshopify.com/products/thermoplastic-fitting-beads-white
they really have to bring back cushion grip this is crazy that people like us need this product and can't buy it in the store but it's out there because they are selling it for hundreds on e-bay
Jenn... I just tried to purchase a tube and got met with a error from paypal. I didn't use paypal.... Can't you try to correct the issue ?
If you don't want to buy it, don't. But these dispariging remarks about her an what she is doing are unnecessary!
Instead of constantly complaining, she is doing something to try to help.
She has been sending out samples FREE OF CHARGE and is including free shipping all over the world. The increase in price is to help offset those costs. Twenty dollars a tube is FAR from the over inflated prices you are seeing on Amazon and eBay!
Thank you Jenn for your continued efforts to help out with a much needed prodict! Especially when you are being met by so many negative responses.
If everyone would just read this entire thread and took note on the support that others received when they mention trying to produce a similar produvt, they might humble themselves enough to thank you as well!
P.s. another reason hee price is higher is that she doesn't have a corporation back her up.
I'm going to find the thread that someone else was stating that she was going to attempt to make a similar product and see if any of the people that are complaining about Jenn's product were supporting the other woman. I'm curious if there are any hypocrites on here.
Have any of you bothered to get to know Jenn? I have. I won't think twice of trying this product. Heck, I wouldn't think twice of going to her house for dinner!
I guess it's easier to complain about not having a product than it is to try something different.
Every single post on here has been someone begging for a replacement to CG. Jenna has done what no one else has and is trying to get a product similar like CG out to those of us who want it. Her price is not outrageous or out of line with what we should expect. I am certainly willing to pay that price.
I mentioned that her website (at the time I went there) wasn't secure enough for CC payments. She kindly responded to me that she is/was working on getting her site to be secure with SSL and did have Paypal.
I didn't request a free sample, so am depending on those who have to give us the skinny on whether it works :). If all testing turns out ok I will definitely be ordering Jenn's new product.
Jenna needs our support and thanks, NOT negative criticism.
And to squash any theories that I know Jenn from somewhere other than this site - I do NOT. I just click with certain people and we become friends!
Goal is there is to have one of the universities to analyze what is in the Product & to make sure it is completely safe for all of us to use this could be a great great thing to put those gouging Companies on eBay and Amazon in their place charging hundreds of dollar!
Even at $20-$25 this place that is now selling comfort line will make money I'm good with those prices of the longest everything in the ingredients is not harmful that is the only question now many universities welcome these Chyna chances for their students to investigate
Have you personally emailed Jemn and asked her directly?
I really am trying to be helpful!
She definitely will be a godsend if this all works out for us !! I am all for stopping those gouging prices
I have been emailing the Bayer company four months now we have over 200 people signing that petition I just sent that to them again today I wish this gal all the luck in the world we do need her I just need to know I'll be ingredients it says on the website it's natural ingredients
I was just telling someone on the Facebook site that I was watching QVC and I fell for that hair product and ordered $40 worth of it then I'll be darned if soon as I ordered it I tried to cancel it because on NBC last night they're talking about the lawsuit that is making people bald stuff like this is what makes a skeptical
I completely understand when it comes to allergies!
I hope everything works out for you!
Only concern is that the product is safe I will find out trust me
Prior to disability I also spent ten years working in health and life insurance. I understand having people only happy if they are ticked off. But I also know that when you are trying to do a good thing and constantly met with adversity eventually you may be tempted to give up.
I do NOT want Jenn to give up because people are making life so hard for her!
Anyone else have this experience??And Happy Holidays my friends1
As skeptical as some have been about you, I can't imagine anyone just jumping on board with this product.
Keep up the great work my friend! Before long you could be ready to apply to go on Shark Tank!
When I first received my tube I took a bit of it and placed over a bone that is growing in the wrong direction just to see if it would cause any allergic reactions and it didn't. I had never used Cushion Grip though, so can't compare it.
I'm just learning and trying different things as I go.
Happy Holidays!
Like with adhesives, I'm not allergic to latex and medical tape (including Band-Aids) as long as the are on me. However, when it's removed I get a welt as big as can be. It can even be non-allergenic. I'm allergic to fish oil, but not fish or Omega. I'm deathly allergic to Omnicef, but nor other antibiotics in the same class.
I Googled the product that Eric posted about. It IS a legitimate product made by a major Pharmaceutical company in Japan.
The translation is a bit messy but it gets the point across.
It costs $10(USD) for a 1 oz tube, just like Cushion Grip charged. I also checked the ingredients and they are rated a 3 (1 being acceptable through 10 as highly toxic) by the Environmental Working Group's gauge of toxic ingredients and approved by the US FDA as acceptable as a food additive. I trust EWG far more than our own FDA on most anything right now, but Canada just upped Polyvinyl Acetate on their toxicity list so they apparently have found out something adverse that we don't know or won't admit to yet.
The ingredients are not why this product isn't allowed to be sold in the US. It's mainly an import/export issue, since foreign Pharmaceuticals are pretty much banned in the US, due to our strict and highly enforced trade laws on drugs. Of course, we don't really see this as a "pharmaceutical product" but we sell a lot of things over the counter here in the US, that other countries are far more strict about.
So for those interested,(unless he has already) I highly doubt Eric can send any of that product to us. Mostly because it has to go through US Customs/DEA and I don't know if they would allow that. You do have to declare what you are shipping and they do open and inspect packages and will confiscate anything questionable.
As far as people fearing the ingredients of the Japanese version, does anyone KNOW what Cushion Grip was made from? CG says "a" Thermodynamic Plastic, but that doesn't really tell all the ingredients since plain Thermodynamic Plastic does not work the same as Cushion Grip. The ingredients are NOT listed anywhere on the tube,box or instructions. Googling for the ingredients does not come up with an acceptable answer,either. So what's to say Cushion Grip isn't/wasn't made out of the same material as the Japanese product?
We just assume ours is "safe" because we put a lot of trust in our government to not allow someone to sell us something harmful, which isn't always the case, considering all the recalls after something has been approved by the FDA.
Maybe Cushion Grip was really discontinued because of the ingredients.
So hopefully for us, Jenn's version will be SAFE and pass all the tests needed to be able to sell it publicly.
I did find an article where they were trying to recall these products because they cause leukemia after a few years
Thank you Charlene for offering to look up this info again! I have so many medical problems already along with the multitude of medications that I, it's important for me to know what I'm putting into my system!
Thanks again!
I am not on blood thinner but I do have a cow valve
Vincit omnia veritas Yourself!
I'd love to you continue to support her!
(no I do not know Jen) I just believe in her
EVERYONE has been begging to have something like CG back on the market. At least Jen is doing something about it.
I would gladly put her product in my mouth and try it. A previous post also stated that CG doesn't have a list of there ingredients anywhere in there packaging. Yet we buy & use sight unseen.... I have used it for 10 yrs now.
So what if Jen's is in a white tube?? Maybe she is just trying to get it out on the market first before she starts deciding on a label design.
I wouldn't waste time on the design right now either. Need people to use
It. I'm up for clinical trials for lack of a better word. After using the "MADE IN THE USA" home reline kits. Send me some of Jens product. Since "CG" has been taken off the market. I can only eat soft foods now. Can't even eat corn on the cob... Didn't have that problem with CG. And I'm hoping Jen's product will work the same!!
I will be in heaven again and put back a few pounds that I've lost because I can't eat like I did. I can't afford to loose anymore either. 58 & 110lb isn't good.
.. Japan & China have been shipping things to the US forever. Look how many toys that they have recalled because there "lead" is contaminating our children.... Dog food that is killing our dogs. ETC!!!!!!!!!The list goes on...
My POINT.
"Prosoft" denture reline kits.... I tried. The chemical taste and smell is so strong you can't even enjoy a cracker it is so overwhelming. SO I decided to look for the ingredients on the box
" METHACRYLATE" IS one of the major ingredients.
I haven't seen anyone complaining about them.??? "FDA APPROVED"
You need to look up the "Material Safety Data Sheet" (msds for short)
Methyl methacrylate MSDS http://avogadro.chem.iastate.edu/msds/methyl_methacrylate.htm
Methyl methacrylate MSDS http://www.sciencelab.com/msds.php?msdsId=9927360s
Yet NO ONE HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT THESE. OH YAH MADE IT THE USA SO THERE SAFE????????????????????????????????????//
I had no problem at all with my tube. Everything worked exactly the same as Cushion Grip.
maybe your tube was defective?
I actually like Comfort lining better, it dries quicker and its very firm, but yet soft.
I have been wearing one application over a week now.
It says "Corded saws that comprise a cushioned grip will make sure that you get absolute comfort"
Could you please tell me what does it mean? How can it comfort me?
I have no desire to become a part of the Japanese/ Cushion Correction vs Comfort Lining battle. I believe everyone has a right to their opinion and not be attacked for their views. We should be able to share factual information. I'm on neither side, which there shouldn't be sides, I know no one here. Cushion Correction is NOT being black marketed into the US. I ordered it direct from the company in Japan. It went through customs both exiting Japan and then in New York when it entered the US and then delivered right to my door. People need to ask questions, kindly, when they don't know the answer. This would be much better then just making things up. Sorry, if this upsets some and I refuse to engage in a battle here. I believe our FDA and government have allowed many manufacturers to harm all of us health wise.
We must all call Merck at 1-800-444-2080 !!!! Flood them with calls
Merck bought Bayer who made Cushion grip. Merck has the formula.
Call Merck at 1-800-444-2080 - Tell them how ebay and Amazon are peddling Cushion Grip at almost $600.00 per tube.

i am a old man And have no problem heating the tube and attachiing to my dentures
reeally don't think that someone would tell your friend that it was their fault and that they could not use the tube correctly
DenSureFit, Cushion Correct and DinaBase7 equal or better than CG IMHO.
Like Cushion Grip Made In Japan
I also had used cushion grip for years and it was wonderful. I wish I had the means to start a company that would make a similar product as I believe it would help a lot of people.
I went looking on Merck website and after a small run around, found a number that we NEED to bombard with calls. That is how a company figures out that its product is needed. I am 58 and have had FULL false teeth since I was 25. This product was a godsend for me to get back to eating again. I used everything on the market years past, to hold them.

$300 & up. There is another product out there called "prosoft" Works alot like cushion grip. Stays soft. It has a terrible taste to it. Says you can soak it in baking soda for 30 min. NOT ! Doesn't make food taste very good. IT IS NOT CUSHION GRIP !!!! I swore by cushion grip and also told everyone about it. Sure saved my mouth from alot of pain.
I wish they'd bring it back !
How to contact Bayer:
Bayer OTC Dept: (412) 777-2000As far as WHY Amazon and Ebay have Cushion Grip is because there are some very savvy sellers on Amazon and Ebay, who buy up products that are being discontinued in order to resell it to others at a massive profit. They are called "Profiteers". The scarcity of the product is often attributed to their buying huge amounts of the product off shelves in stores. They also spend time finding out what products are being discontinued and then buy up a company's leftover stock or go to stores and buy it all off the shelf.
So it isn't that "Amazon and Ebay getting it" from some mysterious manufacturer, it's because the Profiteers are doing what they do to make lots of money. And sadly for those who are forced to buy from them it is terrible. But as far as I know, it's not illegal for a private party to charge whatever they want for a product. In this case they have no competition so they don't need to keep prices down. If someone wants something bad enough they will pay whatever it takes.
Not sure any Attorney General would get involved since it's pretty small potatoes involved. But Ebay does make a profit on higher prices so maybe that would be an issue, but I doubt it since people sell pieces of toast that resemble religious figures on eBay for insane prices too. I think "buyer beware" is the standard rule on eBay and Amazon.
Thanks for you help.
Got the FB link. Will go there in a few minutes.
Can you change the name of the FB page to Cushion Grip instead of Grips Cushion?
And we have been using the name over and over already on here, but best to do what you feel comfortable with. It's just a matter of getting the Cushion Grip people on here to go there, instead.
I can send you my email via the CG Facebook page. I don't want to publish private info on here.
There was a time that I was known for how well written my letters were. Unfortunately, since I got sick a few years ago I have had a hard time articulating myself.
If you are on Facebook you can "follow" the page by just "liking" it.
Here is the link:https://www.facebook.com/Cushion-Grip-Dental-Products-1075838522427584/
I am very rarely on facebook, but the next time I sign in I will be sure to "like" the page and do what I can to help bring this product back.
I'm not sure why your email bounced back. I just sent an email to the address and didn't have any problems.
As for the price, I just realized that it was drastically increased as well. Perhaps she found that she needed to increase the price due to her cost?!?
Hopefully she will get my email and post about the price.
Found in Google, interesting read.

Please put it back on the market!
A few of us on a different denture site were even thinking of trying to manufacture it ourselves--getting funds from the public through kickstarter. Someone else had the good suggestion of going on Shark Tank TV Show to try to get backing to manufacture it again. We don't know what the patent situation and the formula but we're definitely investigating.
BTW, fixodent is the only denture cream I use--unfortunately it doesn't secure my denture in my mouth for more than a few hours--have to reapply later if I eat again!

Unlike the others its not runny dose not have an after taste and it stays in all day with out shifting and also last for weeks at a time. I called the 800 331 4536 the rep took my call and all I said about why we need it back on the market
.Hesaid he would email all to cooperate head quarters Thanks for the phone #s We keep on calling we mite get cushion grip back
Cushion Grip is the only product that I found works.
I have tried "denture reline-it by dentists on call" And a couple of other products that have claimed to be like cushion grip... The smell alone is enough to make you sick. They smell like a paint shop that left a bottle of turpentine open.
the taste was even worse.
SO I to am back to having no lowers to enjoy that good steak.
What will it take to get cushion grip back on the market ?
We have been complaining for a long time. I keep seeing that it has been sent to the product team... well................
Some people mistakenly think this forum is connected to Bayer but it is NOT. We need to find theirs and bombard it. Please dig deep to find one so we can hit it up.
If everyone emails them and puts Cushion Grip in the subject line, perhaps we can get somewhere.
Mark it on your calendar and email them weekly.
Just a thought

Dear God please help all these people including me.
I purchased some from www.amazon.com but I got my first tube from http://www.securedenture.com/
Check both places for prices. It is sometimes cheaper on Amazon but they run sales on their site sometimes as well.
If you Google (or are looking on Amazon) just type in Secure Denture Adhesive. You will see that it claims that it is sold at Walmart, CVS, as well as other stores unfortunately the Walmart in my area doesn't carry it and I don't think there are any CVS stores any where near where I live.
Just so you know, I haven't run our of my first tube yet, I just ordered a tube of the sensitive. I am a big fan of the strips for my lowers as I have a small mouth and I like their cleaning tabs - you only need half a tab and it lifts the stuff right off.
Just remember to NOT rinse any gobs down the drain. It isn't water soluble so it may cause clogs.
You may discover that you won't need it at all once you get more accustomed to Jenn's product. I'm using the Secure right now because they REALLY screwed up my dentures when they did the hard reline. The dentist took them around and was showing everone. She said she had never seen that happen. I guess the mold shifted or got twisted before they were cured. That was the Thursday before Christmas, the office was then closed for 2 weeks and I had surgery on the 6th. Lucky me, when I went in on the 5th it just so happened that the lab tech that screwed up my teeth and another lab tech were either terminated or quit. Either way, until this coming Wednesday I have no choice but to "Super Glue" (aka Secure ) my teeth in as best as I can.
Good luck and make sure you watch YouTube videos about how to apply Secure!
And it is stated take at your own risk! End of story
Don't know what we do without you
Such deplorable behavior towards my friends will no longer be acknowledged.
If he takes the hint then he will go away. If he doesn't, then he can continue talking and having it land on deaf ears!
Look, I can quote shit too. Google is your friend.
aut viam inveniam aut faciam
non omnis moriar

PS: you don't sound American enough to be believable.
Just saying . . .
- Ok people. STOP! This petty garbage that is coming across here has got to end. This forum is to inform and help each other, NOT what is going on now! Community powered support for DentureLiving!!!!! Nowhere does it say that we are to pick on others because we don't like what they say, we ALL have the right to pass by or drop what we don't believe is correct! Just because you are friends with someone does not make it right to talk bad about anything anyone else says. It is about INFOMATION ONLY!!!
HOW DO YOU THINK THIS PETTY BACKBITTING IS HELPING ANYONE? ALL it is doing is chasing away others that just find us AND who may have great info that would help most of us. THIS is NOT about who got their feeling hurt from something someone said!!!! THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR THIS KIND OF CRAP!!!!!! If you are unhappy here, PLEASE leave so the rest of us can get help that we came here for. Grow up!!!!
If you jump on me for this post, it just shows what I am talking about! Last time I looked, this IS on the NET for anyone to become a member, American or NOT!!
Has it gotten out of hand? Absolutely! Which is why you will find that I have stated I will no longer acknowledge any posts from him.
I am a grown woman with the right to freedom of speech and yet I simply repeated questions that continue to go unanswered. My comment about opinions and butt holes? A result of a very tiresome fight for information.
Moving on now.....
Thank you to Jenn, Charlene, Eric and others who have offered and discussed positive solutions for the many questions and complaints on here and I wish them success with the products they are making and have found, so far.
Best regards
Thank you to all who have helped me and I am happy to have helped some of you!
If there are so many people that would rather sit back and watch while others attempt to bully away the true, honest people that actually DO answer questions instead of trying to baffle with BS, like 'ERIC' does then this is not where I want to be!
I've enjoyed making new friends and plan to keep in touch with them.
And Sharon, if you are calling me racist, a bigot and anything other than a CIVIL PATRIOTIC WOMAN. maybe you should know something /ANYTHING about me before you make these statements!
Why don't you re-read my posts and then email me what I have said that allows you to judge me!
I'm not done going through my emails yet, so Iay not be done. But when they are gone, don't worry, I will be too! I will be looking for your email though, letting me know just exactly how I'm a racist!
I stay pretty busy .. Are all very good sites no one tells anyone off it's all for fun this one's not even informational anymore I got what I needed and enough enough I even have somebody from the site emailing me which I did not count on that fr are all very good sites no one tells anyone off it's all for fun this one's not even informational anymore I got what I needed and enough enough I even have somebody from the site emailing me which I did not count on that .. Has found me on Facebook !!
Other people have mentioned other products on here, without a similar response, and I am curious why that is.
Alicia, if you are offended by my comment then I am sorry for that and hope you will accept my apology, as nothing I said was intentionally directed toward you, personally.
Best regards and good luck to you and everyone on here, in your search for pain free dentures.

I have asked these questions til I was blue in the face and STILL DO NOT HAVE THE ANSWERS.
When he began attacking my friend, nagging her for information that would not affect his health, that's when I started taking offense, and yet I continued to bite my tongue and ask the same questions. It was when I posted that I would be ignoring him, the way he seemed to be treating me, that it hit the fan. My post about butt holes and opinions is no different than him posting his little Latin phrases. However, while I agreed with his Latin phrase, my statement was net with a link to a bidet. I kept my cool and took the high road.
Anyone is welcome to email me.
My grandson was climbing all over me when I typed the post in directly below your post, so I needed to hit send. But felt it important enough to not only acknowledge but also accept your apologies.
I do hope that you keep in touch.

GRAMMY Winners Blog: Lady Antebellum
The Recording Academy asked a number of 52nd GRAMMY Award winners to share their thoughts on winning, performing, and simply experiencing the excitement of the telecast.
Last year we were so excited just to sit in the crowd. We never thought we would be on the stage performing just a year later. And winning our first GRAMMY Award was unbelievable. We were on the red carpet doing an interview when we found out. It caught us off guard, but certainly made our whole night wonderful.
— Hillary Scott
Talk about starstruck. It felt incredibly surreal seeing everyone backstage. We are as big fans of these other artists as everyone watching at home. We were happy to see so many artists from the Nashville music community go home with awards.
— Dave Haywood
I've watched the GRAMMYs since I was a kid. So many legends have performed on that stage. We sort of felt out of place, but we'll take it! "I Run To You" is a really special song to us, so to be recognized by the industry is very humbling.
— Charles Kelley

A week after reintroducing Facebook Gifts--a feature that lets you send real items to your Facebook friends--the social network is launching another possible push into ecommerce: "Want" and "Collect" buttons.
These buttons are part of a new feature called "Collections," which allows businesses to showcase goods on their pages and sell them through Facebook.
One Facebook rep further described the new feature:
"Weve seen that businesses often use pages to share information about their products through photo albums. Today, we are beginning a small test in which a few select businesses will be able to share information about their products through a feature called Collections. Collections can be discovered in the news feed, and people will be able to engage with these collections and share things they are interested in with their friends. People can click through and buy these items off of Facebook."
Participating retailers can add either "Want" or "Collect" buttons to news feed posts about products. Facebook users who have liked the retailer's page can then save and share these products to a "Wishlist" and even purchase the product through the retailer's website from Facebook. Facebook is testing both "Want" and "Collect" versions, so you will likely see one or the other.
Facebook is testing this feature with seven retailers: Fab.com, Michael Kors, Neiman Marcus, Pottery Barn, Smith Optics, Victoria's Secret and Wayfair.
[How the Generations Use Social Media to Job Search (Infographic)]
M. Eric Johnson, associate dean of the MBA program at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College, says that Facebook's new Collections and last week's announcement of Facebook Gifts could be putting the social network on the right track for ecommerce.
"These feel like they could gain some traction, but Facebook has to walk a thin line. Many users would love the convenience of shopping on its platform--particularly with the support of friends," he says. "But Facebook must avoid turning into a spam pit, where friends all turn into salespeople and every action is commercially based."
Johnson also says this new feature could challenge social bookmarking site Pinterest.
"Collections drives right into the heart of Pinterest, but with a brash commercial attitude," he says.
Here's a look at how to get started with Facebook's newest feature.
Facebook Collections: How to Get Started
Because Collections is available on only seven retailers' Facebook pages right now, you need to like one of those pages to use it.
Start by visiting a page and clicking on one of its Collections. These posts are denoted by a green briefcase icon with a star. If you already like a retailer's page, these posts will also appear in your news feed.
As you flip through the album and find a product you want to "collect," hover over the photo to see the Collect button in the top-left corner. Click this to add the product to your "Wishlist."
Similar to Pinterest's boards, you have three lists you can add this product to: a general Wishlist, Fashion and For the Home. Or, you can create a new Collection and label it appropriately.
After you add the product to a Wishlist, it appears on your profile in two places: under "Recent Activity" and in a new section called "Products." The latter is difficult to find, unless you add the box to your profile.
To find and showcase your Collections more easily, add a new app box by clicking the + button in an empty box below the icons for your photos, friends, subscriptions, etc. These are found below your cover photo. If you have more than four app boxes featured, you'll need to click the drop-down menu on the left to show them all.
[4 New Websites for Cool Facebook Cover Photos]
When you click the + button, select "Products" from the list.
This will give you an easy access point to revisit items you've added to your Collections. Clicking this box brings you to your Activity Log, where you can view all your Collections and Products. You can also change your privacy settings for this feature on this page.
To purchase a product you like, revisit the original post on the retailer's Facebook page. Above the description of the product is a link that will take you to the retailer's website to purchase the product.

(CBS News) According to a Duke University survey, women wake up far more grumpier than their male counterparts. In fact, females need far more sleep than men and suffer more mentally and physically if forced to go without it, research suggests.
It appears lack of sleep can also put them at higher risk of heart disease, depression and psychological problems and in contrast, men's health appears to be far less dependent on how well they sleep. In fact, men with sleeping problems showed no increased risk of the conditions that were affecting the women.Lack of sleep may make genes less active
"In this particular study, women had more depression, anger, and hostility early in the mornings when they weren't getting the same amount of sleep than they normally get," said Michael Breus, a clinical psychologist, sleep expert and author of "The Sleep Doctor's Diet Plan." "When they have problems falling asleep, staying asleep, that seems to have a dramatic effect."
Lack of sleep seems to affect women more than men for a few reasons. One hypothesis is that we know that men and women are so different hormonally that women may require more time asleep to regulate and keep their hormones in balance.Lack of sleep linked to obesity, disease
"Not only are you emotionally affected but you're also physiologically affected," said Breus. "What we found is women who didn't get enough sleep had an increase in a clotting factor which leads to stroke. We also note that there are certain inflammation markers that are higher in women. Inflammation leads to pain, so women could be in more pain than men."

You better put your money on Sarah Palin running for president in 2012 -- whether she runs for re-election as governor next year or not.
Why should it be considered a sure thing?
Well, because the good governor of Alaska has shown quite the propensity in recent weeks to get good and scrappy. There hasn't been a fight -- or a perceived slight -- that she hasn't let slide.
Item: The now-famous David Letterman scrap that resulted in not one, but two apologies from the gap-toothed late-night host. Palin accepted the second apology from Letterman -- but still managed to get a handful of outraged supporters protesting outside The Late Show studios. A "Fire David Letterman" group still exists on Facebook. It may not be approved by the governor, but the seeds have been set.
Item: No sooner had that died down than Palin went after an Alaskan blogger who put up a parody of a photo of her holding her baby Trig -- with a Photo-shopped image of the head of a local conservative radio talk show host. Palin's office blasted back:
"Recently we learned of a malicious desecration of a photo of the Governor and baby Trig that has become an iconic representation of a mother's love for a special needs child," Palin spokeswoman Meghan Stapelton said in a statement provided to CNN. "The mere idea of someone doctoring the photo of a special needs baby is appalling."
Item: And, then, over the weekend, there were cheap shots exchanged with John Kerry. When Mark Sanford was reported only as "missing" -- but before he had resurfaced as the Appalachian/Argentinan lover -- Kerry remarked, "Too bad if a governor had to go missing it couldn't have been the governor of Alaska...You know, Sarah Palin."
As is typical of John Kerry, not only wasn't the joke that funny, he had to emphasize, "You know, Sarah Palin..." as if no one -- especially political reporters -- wouldn't know who "the governor of Alaska" refers to.
Well, Palin -- even as she visited with members of the Alaskan National Guard -- wouldn't let the line go: "But the way he said it, he looked quite frustrated, and he looked so sad, and I just wanted to reach out to the TV and say, 'John Kerry, why the long face?'" Now, that's not only a funny line, it also sends a message: "Don't mess with the lady. She's a fighter who gives as good as she gets."
Now, Palin has to walk a fine line here. She can't appear too sensitive on these issues -- jumping at every public criticism of her and taking offense on behalf of her kids.
However, in small doses, this sort of exchange can become political gold. Mothers generally don't lose when they are seen as standing up for their kids. Furthermore, members of ideological bases love it when leaders of their parties are assertive and ready to, pardon the expression, "get in the face" of members of the other party -- as Palin did with Kerry.
That is why Howard Dean struck a chord with hardcore liberals back in 2003-04 by proclaiming that he was a "member of the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party."
So, Palin is doing two things: Inoculating herself against any possible photo situations that include her kids -- and making Democrats very nervous about any comments they might be inclined to make about her. Her high school basketball nickname wasn't "barracuda" for nothing. Baring her teeth both in protection of her young and defending herself against a male politician -- even if it's in "good fun" -- is smart politics.
And any other Republicans thinking about running in 2012 had better pay attention to the lady's skills.

Make Your Fashion Drawing Art Reflect Your Personal Style
As you get comfortable with pencil and paper, work on incorporating a technique or two that tells the viewer that this drawing was done by you, not one of the hundreds of other artists out there. Here are some tips on putting your own stamp on your art.
Develop a signature style
The Great Masters of art have recognizable styles, and you need to have a distinctive style as well. You see the world with your own lenses and put your own spin on it — that uniqueness needs to come through in your artwork!
Look at other artists and take from them the things you love, but never try to imitate someone else's style. Here's why:
You won't do it as well as they do.
You won't have as much fun as you would creating your own style.
Imitating someone else is harder than following your instincts.
So what exactly makes a style, especially in the fashion world? Generally, fashion illustration styles fall into one of two types: loose rendering and tight rendering:
Loose leaves out lots of details and draws as few lines as possible; the viewer has to use her imagination and fill in the missing details.
Tight is very detailed; the viewer has a better idea of what the illustrator or designer intended.
Along with the loose versus tight rendering styles, illustrators find other ways to add their own signatures to their drawings. Some illustrators are very realistic with human details, and others let their imaginations run wild with poses and body parts that don't really exist!
Keep your work fresh and refine techniques
After you find ways to make your drawings your own, continue to practice and work on your skills. Be open to taking classes or experimenting with different styles. Even after you develop a drawing style, you can continue to improve or change up your work. Remember, improving doesn't mean your drawings aren't good the way they are — there's always room to develop your technique.
Never stay satisfied with the status quo in your art, or your drawings will get stagnant as you draw things the same way every time. It's one thing to develop a signature look and quite another to draw predictable work.
Other ideas for branching out include getting inspiration from anything and everything you see, from still life to real life and everything in between! Look at the physical part of illustrating, too — experiment with other mediums, such as paint and digital design using a mouse or drafting tablet. Your techniques will always be your own, but they'll evolve when you expose yourself to new ideas.

RICHMOND, Va. – The VCU Track & Field program is riding high after a number of impressive individual and group performances from last weekend's Navy Invite.
VCU Head Coach Jon Riley took time this week to reflect upon a few student-athletes that have bolstered the team's efforts in recent meets and hold the top spot in the CAA in their respective events.
Redshirt sophomore Chaneka Perry (pictured right) captured her third first place finish of the season at the Navy Invite. The Newport News, Va., native cleared 12.03 meters in the triple jump, which set a new Wesley Brown Field House record and earned Perry a spot at the ECAC Championships. Perry's leap is the top mark of any CAA athlete to compete in the event this indoor season.
"Chaneka is an amazing talent," said Riley. "She is coming off of a year of inactivity and has worked extremely hard to get back to that level of performance she had for us during her freshman season; that year at the CAA championships, she placed second in both the triple jump and high jump, plus a third place finish in the 100 meter hurdles. Through our first three indoor meets she has set personal records in the high jump and 60 meter, and I don't think she is happy with any of her performances this year. We are currently working on some minor technical components of her hurdles and jumps. Once she comes close to mastering some of those things, there is no telling at how good she will become."
Junior sprinter Dionna Hayes owns the top time among all CAA athletes in the 60 meter dash, with her recent performance and victory in the event at the Navy Invitational. Hayes crossed the finish line in 7.62 seconds, besting James Madison's Jordan Simmons by .02 seconds for first place honors at Navy. The Bowie, Md., native's performance earned her a performance a trip to the ECAC Championship, eclipsing the qualifying time of 7.68 seconds.
"Dionna was the first recruit I signed as part of my original recruiting class at VCU," said Riley. "As a freshman, she placed second in the 100 meters and had a top eight finish in the 200 meters. Last year, she put together the top times in the 60 and 100 meter dash among all CAA competitors. She captured the ECAC title in the 60 meter dash by running the second fastest time of her career at the event. She was on her way to claiming the 100 meter dash title at CAAs that year before pulling up with about 10 meters to go in the race. After the entire summer of rehabbing her hamstring, she appears to be on track to having another successful year. She really surprised me by running that ECAC qualifying time, as she is still favoring her hamstring. We are going to watch her performances carefully and will have to strategically place her in races until she is ready to go at 100 percent."
Another student-athlete that has battled through injuries, but appears to be turning the corner and running at a high rate is junior sprinter Tyler Jackson. The New Orleans, La., native owns the top time in the 60 meter dash among all CAA student-athletes. At the GMU Father Diamond Invitational on Jan. 7th, Jackson ran the 60 meter dash in 7.01 seconds. Jackson still has some room to improve, needing to shave a .03 seconds off in order to qualify for the IC4A Championships.
"Tyler worked extremely hard in the offseason in getting physically strong and better at his technique," added Riley. "He came to us plagued by groin injuries, something which he worked through all last year and is now able to make it through workouts without pain this season. He is having a really good season so far and I believe can be one of the top sprinters in the conference if he continues to work hard and stay free of injuries. He holds the top ranking in the CAA in the 60 meters and set personal records in both the 60 and 200 meter dash this season. There is plenty of competition in each of those event, but I am sure he will represent VCU well when it's time to get in the blocks and compete against some of the best sprinters."
The Rams will look to continue their hot streak at the Captain's Invite hosted by Christopher Newport University this Friday and Saturday.
