			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chipotle Mexican Gill is a sleek, modern, gourmet restaurant in the growing sector of fast-casual dining. Coupons and buy one, get one deals make dining at Chipotle even more affordable. For lunch in a rush or a casual dinner, Chipotle combines the convenience and casual no reservations necessary atmosphere of fast-food restaurants with high-quality gourmet Mexican food made from fresh, natural, and locally sourced ingredients.</p>
<h2>History of Chipotle Mexican Gill</h2>
<p>The first Chipotle location was opened in 1993 in a converted Dolly Madison ice cream parlor near the University of Denver campus. Before opening his burrito shop, founder Steve Ells attended the Culinary Institute of America and subsequently learned the art of burrito making in the prestigious hotel kitchens of San Francisco. With hopes of selling 100 burritos per day, Ells opened the first Chipotle location though a loan from his dad. The burrito shop caught on and within one month Ells was selling 1,000 burritos daily. In 1998, McDonald’s invested in the growing burrito company, which allowed them to expand nationwide. McDonald’s relinquished their stake after Chipotle went public in 2006. Today, the company operates more than 1,000 restaurants across the U.S. with additional restaurants in major Canadian cities. Chipotle recently expanded operations by constructing a new location in London. In keeping with the Chipotle tradition, many of their most popular restaurants are located near major universities. Each Chipotle restaurant has a different design, yet they all contain one photo of the original location in the former Dolly Madison ice cream store.</p>
<h3>Why Chipotle is Different</h3>
<p>The menu at Chipotle is deceivingly simple. With four serving options, five protein choices, fresh toppings, and sides, there are thousands of possible flavor combinations for every burrito, taco or bowl. At Chipotle, burritos are built while you watch. Because every burrito is created on demand, you get to customize every part of the entree. Regular chipotle fans return again and again for the generous portions, fresh ingredients, and addictive flavors. Veteran patrons recommend cutting the large, fully-loaded burritos in half and saving the second part for another meal.</p>
<h3>How to Order at Chipotle</h3>
<p>For convenience, Chipotle offers pick-up, take-out, and sit-down dining service. Restaurants accept orders online, by fax, or through a downloadable iPhone application. Online ordering makes the customization process simple even for large groups. Cases and large quantities of burritos can also be ordered online for corporate events and parties. In addition to the burrito bar and Mexican grill, many Chipotle restaurants serve alcoholic beverages, margaritas, and specialty beer in addition to standard soft drinks.</p>
<p>Chipotle’s menu allows patrons to create non-traditional tacos and burritos with any toppings they choose. To customize a taco, try adding unexpected toppings like a serving of rice or beans. The a la carte menu and ordering system at Chipotle affects the pricing of burritos made with meat and double portions of meat. Not all sides are free; some toppings, such as guacamole, have a small surcharge. Chipotle offers traditional spiced black beans as well as non-vegetarian pinto beans, which are made from organically farmed produce. For gluten-free dining, simply eliminate flour tortillas and avoid toppings that may contain wheat.</p>
<p>To build your own burrito, Chipotle offers four customized serving options:</p>
<ul>
<li>Salads</li>
<li>Bowls</li>
<li>Burritos</li>
<li>Tacos</li>
</ul>
<p>Meat choices at Chipotle Mexican Grill include:</p>
<ul>
<li>slow-roasted pulled pork carnitas.</li>
<li>adobo marinated chunks of slow-roasted chicken.</li>
<li>meaty chucks of high-quality, hormone-free beef.</li>
<li>traditional spiced Mexican barbecue or barbacoa.</li>
<li>meat-free options for vegetarians and vegans.</li>
</ul>
<p>Four flavors of gourmet salsa at Chipotle include:</p>
<ul>
<li>mild fresh tomato salsa or Pico de gallo</li>
<li>medium-hot roasted corn and chili salsa.</li>
<li>moderately hot tomatillo-green chili salsa.</li>
<li>spicy tomatillo and red chili salsa.</li>
</ul>
<p>Special toppings and sides include:</p>
<ul>
<li>sour cream.</li>
<li>shredded cheese.</li>
<li>hot sauce.</li>
<li>fresh lettuce.</li>
<li>guacamole.</li>
<li>corn chips.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Chipotle’s Dedication to Quality</h3>
<p>Since 2001, Chipotle has shown their commitment to sourcing local and ethically produced ingredients by purchasing natural beef, chicken, and other meat products produced without antibiotics, growth hormones, or harmful feed additives. To benefit the community, Chipotle prefers to work with small, family-owned farms and cooperatives. As part of Chipotle’s Food with Integrity policy, milk used to produce the company’s cheese, sour cream, and dairy products is also produced without antibiotics or bovine growth hormone. In addition to eco-friendly food sourcing, Chipotle has constructed several innovative green restaurants featuring solar power, wind power, and energy efficient improvements.</p>
<h3>Chipotle Children’s Menu</h3>
<p>Most recently, Chipotle began testing a children’s menu with smaller portions and lower prices. The Chipotle children’s menu was first introduced in Minnesota with plans to go nationwide by the end of 2010. As part of the program’s unveiling, Chipotle is offering a free kids-meal with every adult burrito purchase at specified stores. Options from the new Chipotle children’s menu include quesadillas, tacos, and do-it-yourself taco kits.</p>
<h2>Chipotle Promotions and Advertisements</h2>
<p>For the past 15 years, Chipotle has relied largely on word of mouth and grass roots promotions as well as local advertisements on billboards and the radio. Chipotle’s latest advertising campaign ironically targets their anonymous ad agency. Each ad in the series suggests that Chipotle isn’t another chain restaurant who will follow the advice of a marketing authority; Chipotle is solely focused on making the best burrito starting with the best ingredients. Chipotle also sponsors the Chipotle Fan-Antics program that showcases Chipotle lovers young and old enjoying their favorite Chipotle fare. Submissions are archived in the Chipotle Fan-Antics gallery, and there’s a chance you could appear on company menus, promotion material, and publications. To join Chipotle Fan-Antics, upload your favorite photo directly to the company’s submission page.</p>
<h2>Chipotle Coupon Codes and Online Promotions</h2>
<p>To take advantage of special coupons and burrito giveaways, order online or register for a Chipotle account. The company will use your personal information to send out customer appreciation gifts, free burrito certificates, promotional coupons, new product incentives, and other member bonuses. For non-members, printable Chipotle coupons are also available online.</p>
<h2>Local Chipotle Coupons &#038; Promotions</h2>
<p>Traditionally, Chipotle runs promotional programs for the holidays. Free burrito days and burrito giveaways for patrons who dress in burrito Halloween costumes are among the fun promotions Chipotle has sponsored. To promote their services, Chipotle frequently distributes promotional coupons and free guacamole vouchers on college campuses. Student may also be eligible for perks like free drinks depending on the location. In the community, Chipotle has partnered with universities, sports teams, youth groups, and other organizations to provide free burritos as well as program funding. Chipotle typically distributes promotional coupons when opening new locations. In 2010, Chipotle plans to open more than 120 new restaurants and roll-out their children’s menu nationwide. Chipotle has also announced plans for a customer loyalty program, but details have not been released.</p>
<p>Chipotle specializes in casual dining and providing good, affordable Tex-Mex food quickly. The company’s carefully selected soundtrack and the restaurants’ modern design give Chipotle restaurants an upbeat, energetic atmosphere. The intuitive ordering system and organized layout makes ordering and selecting toppings easy. For first-time diners, the number of customization options and toppings can be a little overwhelming. Veteran diners recommend starting with the enormous Chipotle burrito for volume and value.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>A Brief History of Kraft Foods</h2>
<p>Kraft has proudly filled thousands of kitchen pantries with its superior food for over a century. Even when young children hear the name “Kraft,” they automatically think of the company’s infamous macaroni and cheese. The world’s second largest food company, Kraft has devoted more than 100 years to the production of quality meals and snacks and will continue to do so for many years to come.</p>
<p>James Lewis Kraft was born on a dairy farm in Canada to Mennonite parents in 1874. He was the second child of a total of 11 children. In 1903, he founded J.L. Kraft &#038; Bros. Company in Chicago after investing in a processed cheese company. Selling the cheese to local merchants via horse and wagon, Kraft saw a steady increase in success. J.L. Kraft &#038; Bros. soon became Kraft Foods Inc., and the company opened its own plant in 1914. Kraft served as the company’s president from 1909 to 1953. He revolutionized the cheese business by pasteurizing it to resist spoiling: this process made it possible to ship cheese over long distances and keep longer in the home.</p>
<p>Ever since Kraft started his greatly successful venture over a century ago, the company has acquired ownership and partnered up with many well-known brands, some of which can be seen in every grocery store in America. These brands represent several types of food, from cookies to cheese to coffee. The following are some of Kraft’s more recognizable brands:</p>
<ul>
<li>A.1. Steak Sauce</li>
<li> Cadbury Crème Eggs</li>
<li>Capri Sun</li>
<li> Cheez Whiz</li>
<li> Chips Ahoy</li>
<li>Cool Whip</li>
<li>Crystal Light</li>
<li>Dentyne</li>
<li>Halls</li>
<li>Honey Maid</li>
<li>Jell-o</li>
<li>Kool-Aid</li>
<li>Maxwell House</li>
<li>Miracle Whip</li>
<li> Nabisco</li>
<li> Newtons</li>
<li> Nilla</li>
<li> Nutter Butter</li>
<li> Oreo</li>
<li> Oscar Mayer</li>
<li> Philadelphia</li>
<li>Planters</li>
<li>Premium</li>
<li>Ritz</li>
<li>Stove Top</li>
<li>South Beach Living</li>
<li>Tang</li>
<li>Toblerone</li>
<li> Trident</li>
<li>Triscuit</li>
<li>Velveeta</li>
<li>Wheat Thins</li>
</ul>
<p>Aside from this list, there are even more brands that Kraft Foods Inc. represents. But no matter what the items are, be they chocolates or nuts or crackers, Kraft promises its customers the highest quality selection of foods available.</p>
<h2>Famous Kraft Advertising Campaigns</h2>
<p>Kraft foods have had a long run of extremely successful ad campaigns over the years. One famous series of TV ads starting in the 1970s and running through the 1990s are the ones for Kool-Aid. The commercials star the “Kool-Aid Man,” a giant smiling pitcher of red Kool-Aid drink with arms and legs. They typically start out showing children who are hot and in need of hydration. The Kool-Aid Man bursts through a wall or fence with the intent of cooling off any of these hot people that might want an iced cold drink. As he makes his dramatic entrance, he says, “Oh, yeah!”</p>
<p>Comedian and actor Bill Cosby starred in a number of Jell-o commercials in the 1980s and 1990s. In earlier commercials, Cosby sits on a stool and relates cute, comedic anecdotes about how much children love Jell-o pudding and how they “can’t be a kid without it.” In later commercials, Cosby is surrounded by a group of children and dances around, showing the audience how to make the particular Jell-o product being promoted. At the end of the commercial, he and/or the children sing the simple and melodic jingle: “J-E-L-L-O!”</p>
<p>A classic commercial for Oscar Mayer meat in the 1960s features a group of cartoon children singing the first Oscar Mayer Weiner song, starting with, “Oh, I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Weiner.” In the 1970s, another Oscar Mayer song became a hit because of the commercials. Its lyrics start with, “My bologna has a first name. It’s O-S-C-A-R!” Oscar Mayer also promoted its weenies by driving around a car designed to look just like a hot dog.</p>
<p>Kraft’s macaroni and cheese commercials have run for several decades as well. TV ads in the 1980s star children singing to their parents, “Please, make some Kraft macaroni and cheese!” Other commercials feature children debating on whether the food should actually be called “cheese and macaroni” instead of “macaroni and cheese” on account of its delicious cheesy taste. A popular 1990s ad features a little girl singing how she’s “got the blue-box blues,” indicating the easy-to-recognize blue Kraft macaroni and cheese box. The most recent commercials of 2010 show different children talking in serious tones into the TV camera, documentary-style, about how Kraft has started to market this product to adults now instead of kids. The children speak in irritation of their parents starting to steal what used to be their macaroni and cheese because it’s so good.</p>
<h2>Popular Products</h2>
<p>Aside from Kool-Aid, Jell-o, Oscar Mayer and Kraft macaroni and cheese, Kraft sells many other popular products that can be found in most kitchen pantries. Maxwell House coffee is a regular part of many people’s mornings. Some of Maxwell House’s famous types of coffee include the following:</p>
<ul>
<li> Ground Caf</li>
<li> Ground Decaf</li>
<li>Instant Coffee</li>
<li>Convenience</li>
<li> Flavored Coffee</li>
<li>International Café</li>
</ul>
<p>Nuts are a well-liked and easy snack. The protein and other nutrients found in nuts make them a tasty and healthy treat. Planters brand nuts come in a variety of types and mixtures, including the following:</p>
<ul>
<li> Flavor Grove (Almonds, Cashews)</li>
<li>NUT-rition (South Beach, Omega-3 Mix, Digestive Health)</li>
<li>Dry Roasted Peanuts</li>
<li>Honey Roasted Peanuts</li>
<li>Cocktail Peanuts</li>
<li>Regular Salted Cashews</li>
<li>Deluxe Jumbo Cashews</li>
<li>Chocolate Covered Cashews</li>
<li>Roasted Almonds</li>
<li>Chocolate Lovers Almonds</li>
<li> Mixed Nuts</li>
<li> Recipe Ready (Sliced Almonds, Black Walnuts, Pecan Chips)</li>
</ul>
<p>The product that started Kraft is, of course, cheese. The company offers plenty of choices of successful cheeses that have stood the test of time and continue to please. Some famous types of Kraft cheese include the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Natural Shredded Cheese Pizza Four Cheese</li>
<li>Natural Shredded Cheese Italian Style Five Cheese</li>
<li>Velveta Cheese Block</li>
<li>Cheddar Cheese Block</li>

<li>Singles American Sliced Cheese</li>
<li>Singles Pepper Jack Cheese Slice</li>
<li>Colby Cheese</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>History of Applebee&#8217;s</h2>
<p>The restaurant chain Applebee&#8217;s has its roots in Atlanta, Georgia, where it was founded by married couple Bill and T. J. Palmer. The duo&#8217;s vision for the restaurant was one in which full service, tasty food, reasonable prices and and a comfortable atmosphere in a neighborhood setting would be provided to every customer. The first restaurant was called “T. J. Appleby&#8217;s Edibles &#038; Elixirs”, and opened in November of 1980. It was positioned as a welcoming alternative to rowdy bar and grills.</p>
<h3>Did you Know?</h3>
<p>According to T.J. Palmer, other names considered for the restaurant were “T.J. Pepper&#8217;s” and “T.J. Cinnamon&#8217;s”.</p>
<h3>Applebee&#8217;s Expands</h3>
<p>In 1982, Bill and T.J. Palmer opened another location in Atlanta. They then shortened the name to the shorter and simpler “Applebee&#8217;s”. The couple had dreams of expanding the Applebee&#8217;s chain nationwide. To fulfill that dream, the Palmers then sold the Applebee&#8217;s restaurant concept to W. R. Grace in the summer of 1983. As a requirement of the sale and transaction, Bill Palmer was then named President of the Applebee&#8217;s Division of W. R. Grace, becoming an indirect subsidiary. In his capacity as president, Palmer guided the Applebee&#8217;s concept from its humble entrepreneurial and gustatory beginnings into a fully-fledged restaurant franchise system. Bill and T.J. Palmer became the flagship Applebee&#8217;s franchisees in the fall of 1985. They own and operate 40 Applebee&#8217;s in Atlanta today.</p>
<p>In late 1988, the division was renamed Applebee&#8217;s International, Inc (AIC). AIC would become the restaurant chain&#8217;s main franchiser when two Kansas City franchisees, John Hamra and Abe Gustin , bought the rights to the Applebee&#8217;s restaurant concept from W. R. Grace. The name of the restaurant chain was then changed to “Applebee&#8217;s Neighborhood Grill &#038; Bar” in a branding effort designed to better reflect the Palmers&#8217; original restaurant concept of the restaurant being a place that visitors could call their own.</p>
<h3>Applebee&#8217;s Goes Public</h3>
<p>In mid-1989 Applebee&#8217;s (as AIC) finalized an IPO (initial public offering) of a majority of its common stock. There were also offerings of more of the company&#8217;s subsequent stock in March of 1992 and July of 1995. The AIC stock trades via the National Market tier, with the symbol in the NASDAQ Stock Market. When AIC acquired the Applebee&#8217;s name and resaurants in 1988, there were just 54 restaurants in operation nationwide. The Applebee&#8217;s restaurant chain now is the world&#8217;s largest casual dining restaurant brand. In the second quarter of 2000, Applebee&#8217;s became the world&#8217;s first casual dining restaurant concept to have over 1,800 restaurant locations worldwide. As of November 25, 2007, there are 1,965 Applebee&#8217;s restaurants that operate in every single state in the USA, as well as in 17 countries and Puerto Rico.</p>
<h2>What Makes Applebee&#8217;s Famous?</h2>
<p>Marketed and branded as &#8220;America&#8217;s Favorite Neighborhood&#8221;, every single Applebee&#8217;s restaurant draws most of its décor and displays from the very neighborhood in which that particular restaurant is located. The decor conveys the theme of being the “favorite neighborhood” destination by displaying photographs and collections of memorabilia that feature hometown heroes as well as local high schools, colleges and other areas of local history.</p>
<p>Applebee&#8217;s is famous for its relaxed atmosphere, family friendly environment and casual dining. The restaurant offers many mainstream American food items served in skillets such as shrimp, pasta and chicken. Its most famous signature dish are its barbecued Riblets. All Applebee&#8217;s restaurants feature an area with a sit-down where alcoholic beverages are served. Applebee&#8217;s has several signature drinks, such the Perfect Margarita and the AppleBeeTini.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Depends is the leading adult underwear product line marketed to those experiencing incontinence. Originally introduced in 1983 by Kimberly-Clark, these early Depends were the first such product ever marketed, and could be worn either with underwear or as an underwear replacement. Kimberly-Clark, which was founded in 1872, already had over a hundred years of experience with paper products and popular brands such as Kleenex, Kotex and Huggies when they first offered Depends to seniors and other people suffering from incontinence. This convenient product allowed people all over the world to regain some modicum of dignity and freedom, and the Depends line of products has been popular ever since.</p>
<h3>Brand Name Quality</h3>
<p>Kimberly-Clark has an enormous stable of popular brand names, with products like Kleenex being synonymous with tissues and Kotex being synonymous with certain feminine hygiene products. Similarly, the Depends name has become a cultural stand-in for adult diapers, underwear shields and other underwear products designed to deal with the problem of incontinence.</p>
<p>Since Depends was the first purpose-made adult incontinence product, Kimberly-Clark essentially discovered a whole new market and serviced it before anyone else. This long-standing presence in the incontinence products market has helped to cultivate a sense of trust with those who need such products and had the effect of establishing Depends as the premier name in adult underwear products.</p>
<p>The largest advertising campaign ever run by Depends was launched to promote their new Adult Underwear for Men and Adult Underwear for Women lines, and was designed to highlight the differences between men and women by juxtaposing their answers to various questions.</p>
<h3>Innovations In Incontinence</h3>
<p>Though the Depends brand name has long been associated with quality adult incontinence solutions, several new lines have recently been launched. For the first time, different products have been made available for men and women, acknowledging both their differing body types and different aesthetic tastes. These new products are known as Depends Adult Underwear for Men and Depends Adult Underwear for Women, and feature a number of new design innovations.</p>
<p>In addition to their new gender-specific products, Depends also offers a variety of other complimentary products and various options. Their Guards for Men can be placed inside regular underwear to help with light incontinence, while adjustable, unisex adult underwear that can be fastened like traditional diapers and changed very easily is also available.</p>
<h3>Giving Back and Getting Some</h3>
<p>As a major national brand, Depends always has various coupons, offers and programs available. The brand is a part of the Box Tops for Education program. This means if you save the box tops of your Depends, you can help earn money for the school of your choice. Whether you have a child or grandchild in school, or just want to support any local school, all you need to do is save the box tops and drop them off at the school of your choice. Since Depends is a participant in the program, the school will receive money for every box top you provide them.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve never tried Depends before, you can actually request free samples to try them out. Simply fill out a form on their website, choose whether you want to try out the Depends Adult Underwear for Men or Depends Adult Underwear for Women, and you&#8217;ll receive a discrete package by US mail. This package comes with a variety of sizes and is absolutely free. The men&#8217;s package also includes a sample of their Guards for Men in addition to the adult underwear samples. This is useful to determine which size works best for you, or even to just to take advantage of the free products on offer. Beyond this, a variety of other coupons and special offers are generally available if you look in the right places.</p>
<h3>Deals on Depends</h3>
<p>The best place to get coupons for Depends is by simply visiting their website. When you do so you&#8217;ll be able to sign up for their coupon program and thus be able to instantly print out Depends coupons right from your computer. A typical coupon might give you a dollar off any purchase of Depends, but there&#8217;s no telling what deals they might offer up from time to time. When you sign up you&#8217;ll also get the opportunity to have special deals sent to you via your choice of email and US mail. This is the most convenient way to get Depends coupons, and you can actually get some pretty good deals out of it.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll also find Depends coupons in many other places, both online and offline. If you prefer to clip coupons rather than printing them off the internet, the Sunday newspaper ad circular will often have money saving Depends coupons, which might take the form of manufacturer&#8217;s coupons or coupons provided by specific store chains. Be sure to comb through the ad circulars for your local drug stores rather than just looking for full page Depends ads, since some good deals are likely to slip by you otherwise. You can also contact Kimberly-Clark directly, as most national brands are happy to send out free coupon books by mail if you say that you&#8217;re a new customer looking to try out their product.</p>
<h3>Depends Give You Back Your Life</h3>
<p>There has long been a stigma associated with adult incontinence and what have previously been known as &#8220;adult diapers,&#8221; but Depends has made huge strides in the last decades. With their Adult Underwear for Men and Adult Underwear for Women products, they offer stylish choices in a variety of prints and colors that look and feel more like you&#8217;re wearing regular underwear, and with their Guards for Men you can continue to wear your regular underwear without fearing embarrassing mistakes while out in public.</p>
<p>The best part is that with all the Depends coupons deals available out there, you don&#8217;t have to break the bank to take advantage of their innovative new products. Between the free samples they offer and coupons you can find both online and offline, anyone can regain some dignity and control in their life by wearing the new Depends Adult Underwear for Men and Adult Underwear for Women. Then with the Box Tops for Education program that Depends participates in, you can even help give back to the younger generation at the same time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Advair, distributed by GlaxoSmithKline, is a fluticasone propionate and salmeterol inhalation powder for use by those with asthma, or with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or both. Advair is inhaled through a purple inhaler called a Diskus.</p>
<h2>Company History</h2>
<p>GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) is the result of a year 2000 merger between Glaxowellcome and SmithKline Beecham. It is a research based company that employs approximately 99,000 people in over 100 countries. This pharmaceutical, one of the top five largest pharmaceuticals in the world, can trace its roots back to an eighteenth century pharmacy in London. In 1715, the forerunner of Allen and Hanburys Ltd, the Plough Court Pharmacy, was founded by Silvanus Bevan. Today GSK develops and distributes vaccines, new medicines, and other healthcare products. Over the counter products such as Beano, BreatheRight, and Abreva cold sore medicine are all products of GSK. Abreva is one of the only over-the-counter prescription strength cold sore medications with FDA approval available. Other well-known, non-prescription products of GSK include Aquafresh dental products and Tums. Additionally, GSK produces Nicoderm and Nicorette, treatments for nicotine (smoking) addiction. They also make prescription drugs, including Amoxil, Paxil, and Zantac. Valtrex and Imitrex treat herpes and migraines, respectively. GlaxoSmithKline also produces vaccines that are used all over the world. GSK&#8217;s Advair is a combination of two other products, Flovent and Serevent. It is used to prevent asthma attacks, as well as for people suffering from COPD, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema.</p>
<h3>Controversies</h3>
<p>Some of GlaxoSmithKline&#8217;s drugs, such as the antidepressant Paxil and the diabetes medication, Avandia, have been controversial. Paxil is alleged to have lead to suicide in some patients. Avandia may increase the risk of heart attacks in diabetes patients. Both have been the subject of lawsuits.</p>
<h3>GlaxoSmithKline in the Global Community</h3>
<p>GSK donates medicines for underprivileged communities. Their vaccines are used in vaccination campaigns in 182 countries. They also provide medicines and vaccines at reduced prices for the poor in developing nations. According to GSK, 1.4 billion doses were delivered in 2009, over a billion of which went to developing countries. Also in 2009, GSK teamed up with Pfizer to launch ViiV Healthcare, designed to deliver advanced care to those suffering from HIV worldwide.</p>
<h3>Advair Dosage and Risks</h3>
<p>Advair is inhaled with a purple, dry powder inhaler called the Diskus. It should not be used with other inhalers. Advair is not meant for use with spacers. The Diskus combines an anti-inflammatory drug with a drug for opening constricted airways. These two drugs are fluticasone, known as Flovent, and Salmeterol, also called Serevent. Flovent is a steroid used as an anti-inflammatory. Serevent is a bronchodilator, which relaxes the airway muscles for easier breathing. The Diskus is a metered inhaler, which means that a measured amount of the drug is released each time the inhaler is used. Typically the dosage is one inhalation twice a day.</p>
<p>As with any medication, Advair is not without risks. People with COPD who are taking Advair may have a higher risk of developing pneumonia. The salmeterol in Advair may increase the risk of asthma-related death. Also, it is important to take the right dose. Inhaling a higher dose does not in any way increase the effectiveness of the drug. A Diskus does not replace an inhaler for sudden symptoms. Advair may be used to prevent asthma attacks, but it cannot be used to treat an asthma attack already in progress, because it works too slowly to be effective. The steroid, fluticasone, may increase the risk of osteoporosis in some people, particularly smokers. It is important to check with a doctor for a complete list of possible risks and side effects before using Advair, as it may not be the best drug for patients with certain allergies and conditions.</p>
<h3>New FDA Recommendations</h3>
<p>The FDA has recently issued new recommendations for asthma patients using Long Acting Beta Agonists (LABAs). The FDA recommends that these drugs be used in conjunction with long-term medication for the control of asthma. A LABA should not be used without an inhaled corticosteroid or other long-term medication. If the asthma is adequately controlled by a low or medium dose long-term medication, then use of a LABA may be contraindicated. For patients whose asthma is not adequately controlled by an inhaled corticosteroid or other long-term drug, the benefits of Long Acting Beta Agonists may outweigh the risks when used according to FDA recommendations. A complete list of recommendations may be found at www.fda.gov.</p>
<h3>Advair Money-saving Discount Offers and Advair Coupon Codes</h3>
<p>There are many ways to save money on Advair. Go to www.GSKforYou.com and sign up for the Breatheasier program. Through this program, one can receive money-saving offers by signing up for the 30 day free trial offer. This offer provides a 30 day supply of Advair free of charge. Those who do not wish to register for the program can go to the same website and print out a $10 coupon. Only one coupon can be redeemed per month. Coupons expire 15 days after printing. Occasionally, coupons may be found in health magazines or other magazines such as Parade Magazine.</p>
<p>Advair, produced by GlaxoSmithKline, is a medicine for the control of asthma, COPD, emphysema and chronic bronchitis. If used properly, it can help control symptoms and improve the lives of patients suffering from these conditions. Patients should always check with their doctors for a complete list of potential risks and side effects for Advair, and to ensure that Advair is the right drug for their situation. Moneysaving offers and coupons are sometimes available in health magazines and other publications, but the easiest way to save money is to visit gskforyou.com for free trial offers and coupons.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Your home is probably the biggest investment you have and to protect that investment, homeowners need to pay attention to the maintenance and upkeep of their home. One of the most important things you can do to keep your home looking good is to apply a fresh coat of paint every so often. When looking for a high quality interior or exterior paint, you can&#8217;t beat BEHR.</p>
<p>BEHR paint and other BEHR products are distributed through the Home Depot chain of home improvement stores. The Company prides itself on being a good corporate citizen, looking out for the environment and producing the highest quality, most technologically advanced paints, stains and related products on the market today.</p>
<h2>Behr Company History</h2>
<p>It all started back in 1947 for the BEHR brand when Otto Behr Jr. started selling linseed oil to paint stores out of the back of his station wagon. As he made his deliveries, he repeatedly heard merchants complain that there was not a good product to apply to redwood that would both enhance and preserve its appearance. Ever the entrepreneur, Otto Behr Jr. went to his father, Otto Behr Sr. and asked for help to develop a suitable product for redwood application. The senior Mr. Behr, an accomplished chemist, came up with a clear finish and stain that was perfect for applying to redwood. From these humble beginnings out of the family garage, the business began to grow. In 1948, the business needed more space and was moved to an 800 square foot Quonset hut building in Pasadena, California.</p>
<p>As the years passed and the reputation of the BEHR Process Corporation grew, demand for the top quality stains and varnishes could not be met from one small structure in Pasadena. Additional manufacturing plants sprouted up all around the country. Over the next 40 years or so, plants were opened in California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Texas and Washington.</p>
<p>In 1986, BEHR expanded their product line to include interior and exterior paints, keeping to their original business plan of providing the highest quality, most technologically advanced products available anywhere in the world.</p>
<p>In 1999, after being a private entity for 52 years, BEHR Process Corporation was acquired by Masco Corporation of Taylor, Michigan. The power and additional resources provided by Masco Corporation allowed BEHR to continue to grow and expand their operations. Today, they have many locations in the United States and Canada as well as a significant presence overseas in countries that include China, India and Guam. A 2007 partnership with Home Depot-China opened up a vast opportunity to serve the world&#8217;s biggest market.</p>
<p>Today, BEHR continues to expand its brand presence while maintaining the highest industry standards. They are commited to investing heavily in research and development to come up with new products and maintain their position as a leader in their industry.</p>
<h2>BEHR Products and Services</h2>
<p>From its humble beginnings producing a single stain and finish for redwood products, BEHR has become a top of the line producer of a whole range of products. Known for their premium interior and exterior paints, BEHR also offers the finest in stains, primers, faux and decorative finishes, specialty paints, concrete and masonry water proofers, garage floor coatings, wood floor coatings, cleaners, strippers and removers. All of their products are manufactured to meet and exceed the most ridgid of all industry standards.</p>
<p>BEHR Premium Plus Ultra Exterior Paint is one of the most popular choices for homeowners wishing to spruce up the outer appearance of their house. Using advanced NANOGUARD technology, this top of the line product is both a primer and a paint. It is designed to help keep your house looking newer for a longer period of time than other exterior paint products. It can be applied to a wide variety of surfaces including wood, vinyl, aluminum, fiber cement, siding, brick, masonry, stucco, fences and garage doors. The product contains an extra protective shield that minimizes the potentially damaging effects of direct sunlight. It also protects against moisture, stains and dirt and inhibits the growth of mildew. This Premium Plus Ultra Exterior Paint is backed by a lifetime guarantee by BEHR.</p>
<p>BEHR makes a complete line of interior paints suitable for all applications posible inside the home. One very good product that can be used throughout the house, but is particularly suited for areas where water may splash on the walls (such as the kitchen and bathroom) is BEHR&#8217;s Interior Premium Plus Ultra Interior Semi Gloss Enamel. Made of 100% acrylic latex, using their patented NANOGUARD technology, this paint is extremely durable, protects against moisture and mildew and can be easily cleaned. It can be ordered in over 2,000 different colors and takes fewer coats to completely hide any old, undesirable finishes.</p>
<h3>Safety</h3>
<p>When it comes to producing safe products, BEHR spares no expense. They have never made a paint product that contains lead pigments and manufacture their entire line of products with the safety of their workers as well as their customers as a top priority. All products have warning labels and instructions for proper use and the Company will provide a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for all of their products. Paint products and other chemical solutions are inherently dangerous if not used properly and BEHR does all it can to ensure that anyone who uses their products, uses them safely.</p>
<h2>BEHR Color Samples</h2>
<p>When you are planning to paint a room or more, you often have trouble visualizing the right color scheme. BEHR solves this problem by providing 8 ounce cans of sample paints which are available for their more than 2,000 possible colors. The samples normally cost $6.95 each, but are available through the BEHR.com website for just $3.94 each. If you buy 3 or more samples, shipping is free. For an even better price on BEHR color samples, visit HomeDepot.com where you can order online samples for just $2.94 per 8 ounce sample.</p>
<h2>Online Coupons for BEHR Products</h2>
<p>From time to time, BEHR will offer discounts on some of their products. They usually have special deals, discounts and coupons available both on their website, on Home Depot&#8217;s website and on a number of sites that specialize in couponing. Most of their promotions are centered around holidays, but they can appear at any time. Recently, for the Fourth of July holiday (June 24th, 2010 through July 5th, 2010), BEHR and Home Depot offered $5.00 off on any gallon of their product and $20.00 off on any 5 gallon product.</p>
<p>While specific BEHR coupons are not always easy to find, Home Depot does offer a 10% discount on any product they sell when you join up to their moving club site. You&#8217;ll receive information on what you need to move as well as a discount of 10% at the Home Depot to help you get started in your new place. Technically, the savings are meant for people who have moved or are in the process of moving, but, they do not check your address.</p>
<h2>Offline Behr Deals are Available at the Post Office</h2>
<p>Moving kits and change of address kits at your local post office contain a 10% discount card from either Home Depot or Lowes. Home Depot honors competitor coupons, so a Lowes discount will work for purchasing BEHR products.</p>
<p>The next time your in the market for paint or perhaps some waterproofing product, consider the superior quality of BEHR, available at your local Home Depot.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Gillette Company History</h2>
<p>Gillette was first incorporated in 1901 as the American Safety Razor Company and specializes in the manufacture of high-quality personal care items. It is considered the world leader in men&#8217;s grooming products and a top producer of ladies&#8217; razors. Gillette also owns the Papermate, Parker, and Waterman brands of writing instruments as well as Oral-B dental products and Duracell batteries. With 64 factories in 27 countries, Gillette employs over 29,000 people worldwide. Gillette products are sold in over 200 countries with 60% of sales occurring outside of the United States.</p>
<h3>How It All Began</h3>
<p>In 1895, King Gillette became frustrated at the dull edge of his straight razor. The idea for a razor with a disposable blade that never needed sharpening flashed into Gillette&#8217;s mind. As a traveling salesman, he had been trying to think of a new product that would need to be used and replaced regularly. Gillette soon built a new business around this idea and started the American Safety Razor Company. In 1904, Gillette received a patent on the new safety razor design. Sales rose dramatically from 51 sets in 1903 to over 90,000 razors and 123,000 blades in 1904. The next year, Gillette had made enough money to buy a six-story building to house their operation. By 1905, Gillette was able to make their first dividend payments and begin to expand internationally. Gillette&#8217;s success was sealed with the beginning of World War I. The government ordered 3.5 million razors and 36 million blades to fully supply the US troops serving in the war effort. Gillette has continued to offer innovative new razor products and has only grown as times have changed. </p>
<h2>The Full Line of Venus Razors</h2>
<p>The Venus razor is a luxurious grooming item designed for women and made by Gillette. This innovative ladies&#8217; razor is available in three styles including refillable razors, disposable razors, and a bikini trimmer. No matter which type you choose, you&#8217;ll experience the closest shave possible.</p>
<h3>Refillable Venus Razors</h3>
<p>The refillable Venus models come in four convenient models including:</p>
<ul>
<li>The Venus Embrace contains five blades for the smoothest shave possible along with moisture ribbons that condition your skin as you shave. It comes in your choice of pink or blue/green and features a soft grip that helps you hold onto the razor in the shower.</li>
<li> The Venus Spa Breeze is a light pink razor with a three-blade cartridge. No need for shaving lotion when you use the Spa Breeze razor. Just add water and the shave gel bars will create just the right amount of lather during use. The spa experience comes into play when the water activates the shave gel, and the soothing scent of white tea is released.</li>
<li> The Venus Divine is another three-blade refillable razor. It comes in blue and features moisture strips infused with botanical oils for baby-smooth skin with every shave.</li>
<li> Many women still prefer the original Venus three-in-one razor. This aqua-blue ladies&#8217; razor continues to satisfy with its three blades and protective cushion.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Disposable Venus Razors</h3>
<p>Gillette offers many of the same features in convenient disposable razors. Even if you usually use a refillable razor, the disposable versions offer a great option for travel. Simply pack a few and throw them away after use. No need to repack a wet razor or worry about leaving them behind. They also make a good item to store in your guest bathroom for overnight visitors who didn&#8217;t remember to pack their own. In addition to the Venus Embrace and Venus Spa Breeze disposable razors that are very similar to their refillable sisters, Gillette offers several additional models in the disposable category.</p>
<ul>
<li>For beach-ready legs, try the Venus Tropical disposable razor. These brightly colored razors come in lime green, banana yellow, and raspberry red and feature a rich moisture strip with aloe. This disposable also include a pivoting head for those hard to reach places as well as an improved fresh scent.</li>
<li> The same features are offered in the Venus Oceana and Venus Malibu razors for an ocean-blue or tropical-orange color choice.</li>
<li> If you have sensitive skin, the pink Venus Sensitive is the razor for you. It features the same three-blade system for a close shave, but also includes extra lubricants to protect your sensitive skin.</li>
<li>Gillette offers the Simply Venus disposable razor for women who are looking for a more affordable razor. This razor continues to include the three-blade system and moisture strips, but comes at a much lower price.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Gillette Venus Bikini Trimmer</h3>
<p>The innovative new Venus Bikini Trimmer will do what no other razor has done before. It features a comb above the razor to make sure that you trim your sensitive bikini area to an even length just as easily as you shave other areas. This blue razor features a single blade that will skim across the surface with no chances for nicks or cuts. If you require a closer shave, finish your look by going back over the bikini area with the Venus Embrace razor in either the refillable or disposable model. For a complete package, Gillette offers the Venus and Olay Bikini Kit. With this kit, you will receive a Venus Bikini Trimmer razor, a refillable Venus Embrace razor, and a tube of Olay Bikini lotion. This kit will make grooming your most sensitive area an easy task.</p>

Pioneers in the idea of creating a “Third Place”, Starbucks’ founders strove to establish a welcoming and relaxing environment, the place people could come to after work, but before home. A place to socialize or, as is increasingly the case, to work, Starbucks has become more than just a coffee shop. Many would argue that Starbucks has surpassed its reputation as a fast food beverage chain and has gone on to create a lifestyle. In some areas it seems that there is a Starbucks on every corner and a signature green emblem stamped white paper cup in every hand. Starbucks retail stores are now found all over the world, with Starbucks brand products showing up on local grocery store shelves and online.</p>

While visiting a Starbucks retail location, customers can stock up on whole or ground coffee beans and boxes of their favorite teas. Their retail locations also offer a selection of seasonal gift and personal items such as mugs, travel cups, coffee accessories, occasional books, toys or games and the Barista Bear, a collectable plush bear that dons seasonal Starbucks gear. Many larger locations also offer a selection of coffee grinding machines, espresso machines and home brewing systems. Starbucks customers can now bring all of the equipment necessary home to re-create the perfect cup of Starbucks coffee. Grocery shoppers can pick up a pound of Starbucks coffee beans in a variety of signature roasts, or indulge in the Starbucks brand ice cream.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There&#8217;s no question that LensCrafters is the top company in the optical and contact lenses industry. They are without a doubt, the most established and professional company for consumers to purchase contact lenses and other optical eyewear from. For years, they have provided various markets, especially in the US, with contact lenses and other fine optical products at extremely affordable rates. LensCrafters was founded in 1983. It was one of the first optical retailers to guarantee that you would have your eyeglasses within an hour of walking through their doors. By offering such a fabulous guarantee and mixing fantastic customer service into their winning business formula, LensCrafters has managed to take the optical retailing industry by storm. They were able to protect the customer experience by bringing in in-house optometrists, an in-house optical laboratory, and a huge selection of eyeglasses and other optical equipment, all under one roof. LensCrafters offers every type of optical lens and frame you can think of, from woman&#8217;s frames and sunglasses, to children&#8217;s sunglasses and frames, to contact lenses, and everything else you can think of in between.</p>
<p>One of the main reasons LensCrafters is such a heavyweight in the contact lens and optical retailing industry is due to some of the fantastic promotions they put out for their customers on a regular basis. More often than not, if you go to your favorite search engine and type in something like LensCrafters coupons, you will likely find more coupons and rebates than you can shake a stick at. LensCrafters is notorious for giving out great rebates, which is mainly why they have become the largest retailer in the industry. However, it has been my experience after doing hours upon hours of research on the Internet that there are a few websites that stick out the most when it comes to finding the best possible deals for products from LensCrafters. In this guide, I will do my very best to teach you how to find the sites, compare the coupons on each of these sites, and finally, choose which coupon is best for you, based upon your unique situation.</p>
<p>One of my favorite sites is a site called Mahalo. I especially like Mahalo because of its sheer ease of use and easy to understand user interface. More often than not, when you visit other coupon sites, you will find lots of complicated bulletins and confusing layouts that may hinder you from finding the coupon that you need. With Mahalo, it&#8217;s as simple as going to the article and checking out the sources area, where you will find many coupon codes listed, as well as other places where you can find coupon codes, all for free courtesy of Mahalo. Once you find a coupon you need, simply write down the code and use it when you check out online. If you plan on buying from a physical LensCrafters store near you, simply print out the coupon and bring it with you when you go. Once you are there, your LensCrafters associate will know what to do with it, just make sure to bring it with you, otherwise they might not honor it, even though you have it laying around somewhere in your home.</p>
<p>A second favorite site of mine when it comes to finding coupons, especially for LensCrafters, is a site called Ultimate Coupon. I especially like Ultimate Coupon because, just like Mahalo, the user interface is extremely user-friendly and does not allow for many mistakes on your part, which seems to be very hard to find on the Internet these days. However, unlike Mahalo, Ultimate Coupon has a really cool feature which will show you how many people, if any, have been able to successfully use a coupon that they have displayed on their website for LensCrafters. Although this may not seem like a big deal to some of you, this is a huge timesaver in my experience, simply because many times when you go to the store with a coupon that is out of date and doesn&#8217;t work, you find yourself having to buy at full retail price, or having to drive all the way back home and find another coupon that has not expired yet. This feature in itself would seduce me into buying a membership at Ultimate Coupon if it wasn&#8217;t a free service like it is now. I&#8217;m surprised when I see how many coupon sites do not offer this incredibly valuable feature, since it is fairly inexpensive to implement on any website on the Internet and helps users immensely.</p>
<p>The last coupon site that I would highly recommend is a site called Fat Wallet. I love using fat wallet, just like I love using the other two websites I listed above because of its very intuitive interface and huge database of coupon codes. When I&#8217;m in the market for a LensCrafters coupon code, I can always count on Fat Wallet having a coupon for my every need at LensCrafters, whether I am in need of contact lenses, frames, or sunglasses. Fat Wallet has yet to disappoint me.</p>
<p>Regardless of which of the three sites I listed above that you decide to use, I have no doubt that you will have absolutely no problem finding whatever coupon you need for your next purchase at LensCrafters, whether it&#8217;s online or at one of their stores in your town. I hope this article has been helpful to you and that you will have no trouble finding every LensCrafters coupon that you&#8217;ve ever needed. However, if for any reason none of these sites seem to pan out for you, which I would find extremely unlikely, since all three sites are updated daily with new coupons, especially coupons for LensCrafters purchases, do not be afraid to go to your favorite search engine and search for LensCrafters coupons.</p>
<p>Though I only discussed three different coupon sites above, there are many more to choose from, with more and more popping up on the web every day it seems. It would not surprise me if there is another site that is relatively new that can match or exceed the convenience and usability of Mahalo, Ultimate Coupon, and Fat Wallet, so if you manage to find an even better coupon site or forum that is head and shoulders above these big three, don&#8217;t be afraid to use them for your coupon needs at LensCrafters. Just remember one thing &#8211; be sure to share the site you found with us so that we can share it with our readers and have as many people as possible benefit from your discovery! I wish you the best of luck on your journey to find the most lucrative LensCrafters coupons available. Enjoy the hunt!</p>
