Hackers have been part of the online community ever since the beginning of the "on the line" era and the termed 'Hacker' has been twisted and turned a couple of times in the previous years by the Entrepreneurs and Tech Gurus. The original 'Hacker' community has been dominated by mostly male hackers who love to lie, cheat and steal. Below is a list of just some of the bad ass, gruesome and some of the world's sexiest female hackers. Mind it, you may fall in love with them, but if your credentials fall into their hands, they can easily make you fall from the top of the Mount Everest ( This description was for those people who wouldn't take these girls seriously, ever !)
Xiao Tian
Xiao Tian, just out of her teenage became famous after forming China Girl Security Team, a group of hackers especially for woman which is China's largest today, the group has over 2,200 members. Tian created the now-infamous hacking team because she felt that there was no other outlet for teenage girls like herself in the male-dominated world of hacking. Its time to Move over male Asian nerdy computer geeks, female Asian nerdy computer geeks are here to stay.
What we think?
We 'll marry her twice please. And our kids will be "smart" and "sexy"
Adeanna Cooke
When a friend of former Playboy model Adeanna Cooke, used her images on internet to make money and to show her in bad light, instead of going to the cyber crime authorities, she hacked the website to retain her dignity. She not only cleared all of her photos but also helped many other girls to come out of similar kind of situations.
What we think?
Let the one night stands come in please.
Anna Vasil'yevna Chapmanis
Russian national, Anna Vasil'yevna Chapmanis was staying in New York City when she was arrested with nine others under the charge of working for the Illegals Program spy ring under the Russian Federation's external intelligence agency.
Chapman gained celebrity status right after her arrest by the FBI. Her pictures and videos went viral on the web. Chapman again earned a lot of media attention on 3 July 2013 when she asked Edward Snowden to marry her. For you to recall, Edward Snowden is an American computer specialist and former CIA employee and NSA contractor who disclosed classified details of several top secret United States, Israeli, and British government mass surveillance programs to the press.
What we think?
She's the complete all rounder !
Ying Cracker
Ying is one of the most beautiful hacker and an educator from Shanghai, China. She teaches people the basics of how to start hacking; things like changing your IP address or wiping office passwords.
How did she climb the popularity ladder? It was in an online forum "Chinese Hottie Hackers" posting that got Cracker noticed by gawkers on the internet and created a huge fan base for her. One cannot deny the fact that her work is impressive as well. She's an expert in hacker software writing and charges good money for courses on simple hacking tools, she also charges for helping other people crack software.
What we think?
Mommy, here's my new girlfriend. Just make sure you dont hand over your credit card to her.
Raven Alder
Raven has a dual background in network security testing and ISP engineering.
She has worked as a Senior Backbone Architect and Senior Security Consultant in IT security. Her interest in securing networks end-to-end has led her to examine and pioneer standards in the security of network infrastructure.
What we think?
Taylor Momsen of hackers
Kristina Svechinskaya
The New York University student, Kristina Vladimirovna Svechinskaya, is one of the most common names in the world of hacking. She was accused to defraud several British and U.S. banks of sizeable sums and usage of false passports. As the reports says, Svechinskaya attacked thousands of bank accounts and managed to open at least five accounts in Bank of America and Wachovia via Zeus trojan horse. Out of this, she received $35,000 (£22,000) of money theft. As per the estimates, Svechinskaya with nine other people skimmed $3 million.
What we think?
" Robert, Get me the dual Beretta, i mean Kristina"
Joanna Rutkowska
Ethical hacker and a polished computer security researcher, Joanna Rutkowska, is particularly famous for her researches on low-level security and stealth malware. She gained a lot of popularity after the Black Hat Briefings conference in Las Vegas which was held in August 2006. Rutkowska here presented an attack against Vista kernel protection mechanism, and another technique dubbed as Blue Pill. Blue pill used hardware visualization in order to turn a running OS into a virtual machine. Later she was mentioned amongst Five Hackers who put a Mark on 2006 by e Week Magazine.
Rutkowska also gained some headlines when she sent an open advice to Microsoft's Vice President of Security Technology Unit to further tighten security on Windows Vista system. An elite hacker and entrepreneur, Rutkowska, launched her own security services startup Invisible Things Lab in Warsaw, Poland.

SoundCloud Partners with Warner; What Does That Mean?
by Peter Kirn
Since the summer (or earlier), you've been hearing that online streaming service SoundCloud would partner with big content makers. But noticeably absent was any official announcement of a label.
Well, a huge chunk of that picture just came together. SoundCloud and Warner Music Group today announced that they had inked a new partnership. The WMG announcement is huge – the global music conglomerate is just shy of 42% of worldwide market share. They're the major among majors, the biggest US label, and the biggest publisher.
Oddly, many in the press jumped the gun on this announcement, claiming Warner had made a deal with SoundCloud before it evidently actually happened. But this is that deal, and it has big implications.
And if you think you don't listen to Warner Music Group releases, you either have extraordinarily obscure tastes, or you're just wrong. Their labels range from Nonesuch to Atlantic to Rhino, apart from things with "Warner" in them. (Full list below.) It even includes the Bowie record above – I know; it was the top hit on Rhino's site today.
There were actually two announcements today. We knew as of summer that SoundCloud planned a subscription service not only for people uploading music, but those who just want to listen ad-free as advertisements start to appear on the service. But we only know now when that will happen – in the "first half of 2015." Now, SoundCloud not only confirmed that subscription to CDM at the time, but also told us that they were investigating the ability for paid upload subscribers (like you, probably) to avoid ads. No additional information is available on that yet, but I don't think there's yet reason for panic – there just aren't a lot of ads on the service yet to want to avoid.
So, what does this mean?

Avenged Sevenfold, Hollywood Undead to lead X-mas Ball '11
99X-mas Ball '11
What: Concert featuring Avenged Sevenfold, Hollywood Undead, Asking Alexandria and Black Veil Brides
When: 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 23
Where: Germain Arena, 1000 Everblades Parkway, Estero
Cost: Tickets range from $26.50 to 49.50, available at the Germain Arena box office, ticketmaster.com and 99xonline.com.
Information: 99X at 239-495-2100
On the night before Thanksgiving, local alt-rock station 99X will host the ultimate hard rock party at Germain Arena, headlined by multi-platinum metal ambassadors, Avenged Sevenfold.
Avenged is wrapping up a tumultuous two years that began when the band's drummer and founding member, Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan, died unexpectedly. The remaining members considered disbanding, but instead persevered and went about writing and recording their fifth, and critically acclaimed, studio album, "Nightmare," which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
Boosted by an exhaustive touring schedule and heavy radio airplay, the California-based group arguably stands atop the hard rock world.
Touring drummer Arin Ilejay won DRUM! Magazine's 2011 "Rising Star" award. I've caught Avenged twice in the last six months and I can vouch: Perched behind an enormous drum kit, Ilejay's slender frame emits thunder.
And this would not be a party without the seemingly maniacal rap-rock boys of Hollywood Undead. In just a couple of years (two shows to be exact), Undead has established an indelible history in our area. On the group's first tour, it packed and tore up the Fort Myers country bar Ricochet. Was it the only country bar they've performed in?
"Fort Myers is the only place and for that reason it'll always stick out. We'll never forget that," guitarist and vocalist J-Dog recalls with a chuckle. "I had the crowd crowd-surf me around the pillar in the middle of the floor and all I can remember is looking at the wall with the cowboys painted on it and feeling like I was at a rodeo."
Seven months ago, just days before its latest album "American Tragedy" was released, the rowdy group put on a scorcher of a set at Live X '11 at City of Palms Park. And I mean that literally: During its set, a stack of speakers burst into flames and the kinetic band never flinched. J-Dog remembers it well.
"The banners came loose and were whipping around. It was complete chaos. It looked like World War III. We've had a few fires during our shows. I don't know if that happens to other bands or (if) it's more prone to us. I think it's funny, but production people don't really like it."
Rounding out the X-mas Ball line-up are British metalcore band Asking Alexandria and Hollywood-based glam-metal rockers Black Veil Brides.
99X's afternoon voice, who gives only the name "DC," boasts, "It's the biggest party night of the year and we're throwing the biggest party around. Period."
He continues, "Four hours of entertainment with four national rock bands in the cozy confines of Germain Arena. What else is there to do — go to a local bar and tap your toe to a cover band playing Springsteen's 'Glory Days?' That's fine, but go do that afterwards. Come hang with us!"
Asked what he and the Undead give thanks for at this special time of year, J-Dog gushed with sincerity.
"We give thanks for the beautiful state of Florida and all the beautiful women it harbors. Especially Fort Myers. Always look forward to going there." He adds:
"And thanks for everyone that supports our band and all other music out there, that makes it possible for us to travel. Shout out to everyone who's having a hard time right now. Like Tupac said, 'Keep ya head up!'"
Chris Bradshaw is a Southwest Florida-based concert photographer who loves to shoot the show. He's covered local bands in tiny smoke-filled bars, U2 in a sold-out stadium and everything in between.

Many teens don't get recommended vaccinations
Sep 4, 2013
By The Associated Press
PORTLAND — Fewer than two-thirds of Oregon's teenagers get vaccinated against the fast-moving infection that killed Drew Ottley of McMinnville at age 18.
His mother, Holly Burch, says the vaccine against meningococcal disease was out about a year when he died in 2006, but it wasn't offered to her. She has been working with public health officials since then to persuade teens to get the vaccines recommended for them.
"I would have given anything to pay that $80 or $100 to get my son vaccinated," she told The Oregonian. "That's just like buying him a new pair of shoes, and I'll never get to do that again."
The high school senior felt bad and went to bed early after a skateboarding session with his friends, she said. The next morning, he was gone. "He died that fast," Burch says.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that some immunization rates among Oregon teens fall far short of what public health officials want.
"Everybody thinks vaccines are for kids," said Dr. Paul Cieslak, medical director of the Oregon Immunization Project, but "there are good reasons for teenage vaccines."
About 84 percent of Oregon teens have had the Tdap vaccine against tetanus, diphtheria and whooping cough. That's above the national average.
But only 65 percent have been immunized against the meningococcal disease that killed Ottley.
About 60 percent of Oregon girls have had one dose of the HPV vaccine that immunizes against human papilloma virus, but only a third have had all three doses. Among boys, only 25 percent have had one dose and 6 percent have had all three doses.
It's unknown how many Oregon teens get an annual flu shot. Cieslak suspects the number is low.
Teens and their parents appeared to take note of the Tdap recommendation after sizeable outbreaks of whooping cough. Oregon had 910 cases last year, up from 328 cases in 2011.
Fewer, though, have heeded recommendations for the meningococcal vaccine, which protects against four out of five strains of the disease.
Of the 26 cases last year in Oregon, at least 13 could have been prevented by the vaccine, Cieslak says.
Meningococcal disease, which often causes severe disabilities or death, peaks in infancy and then again when people are in their late teens and early 20s. Cases often crop up in places where people from disparate places converge in small spaces, such as college dormitories and military boot camps.
Once people reach about 20, the incidence of meningococcal disease plummets, so most adults don't get vaccinated.

Adorable Inspiration Delivered on Gross Tray Tables
Everyone could use a little extra motivation in the morning.
Everyone could use a little extra motivation in the morning.
Even the tiniest work of art can make a big impression. Multimedia designer and post-it artist Ivan Mardones doesn't need a big canvas or fancy equipment to create exciting masterpieces. Give him a tiny yellow pad of paper and a ballpoint pen, and he'll create unique illustrations both impressive and fun to look at. Mardones started out doodling on post-its for the same reason most of us would -- out of boredom.
If you're the person who works at a desk with hundreds of hot pink and yellow Post-It notes pasted all around your computer, then it might be time for you to upgrade to Postica. It's a new application that creates virtual sticky notes that can be shared with friends. Postica provides a blank space where notes can be dragged around and saves their location so that it looks the same on any computer. It's fairly simple to attach a file, change the color of a note, and e-mail it to another user.

In this post, we are revisiting our assessment of Thai restaurants in Charlotte because, as mentioned in our last post, too many non-Thai restaurants ended up being included in our first analysis. (more…)
Thai Food
What's the best place in Charlotte to get Thai Food? A trial run of our statistical model (Part 1).
In this post, we're taking the Charlottology Statistical Model of Restaurant Reviews out for a test spin by applying it to some real restaurant ratings from Yelp. I described the workings of the model in my last post, so I won't go into as much detail on methodology in this post. If you have any specific questions regarding our methods, feel free to check out that earlier post.
We're focusing here on the question of, "where is the best place in Charlotte to get Thai food? (more…)

your paintings are inspiring . Your watercolor still life have a translucence which seems like emanating from the painting itself.Are they done on cold or hot pressed ?
Thank you Shreya, that is a wonderful compliment for a watercolor painter! I paint on Richeson 300 lb hot press paper. It is very absorbent, and accepts many, many layers of washes. Multiple washes of pure color gives the luminous quality.

Elomi Lingerie SS14 Lookbook
I have an admission to make: I've been sleeping on Elomi Lingerie. While most of the lingerie I actually wear on a daily basis is fairly basic, I don't feel an overwhelming need to share basic lingerie on Mostbeautifullest. I tend to leave that to other websites and concentrate more on the intricate, fetishy, high-end looks that I am consistently drawn to. The Elomi Occasion Underwire Basque is the only item of theirs to ever really make it on my radar. However, when I caught a glance of the new Spring/Summer 2014 Elomi Lingerie look book I decided it was time to bend my rules. First: The new campaign features The Ashley Graham. Second: the retro, pin-up theme. Third: a hugely inclusive range of sizes; I'm seeing most bras in up to a 44H and briefs up to a 4x. I've selected some of my favorite looks below. The full look book can be seen via Elomi's website or on The Curvy Fashionista. Some of these ranges are available for purchase now, others should be available come April and May.
Four more looks after the jump.

William Wilde of London and His Lascivious Latex
London-based latex designer William Wilde and Lascivious lingerie are a perfect match
Admittedly it's been quite some time since I wrote about latex–just over two years. I'm not certain if designer William Wilde was a thing back then, thus whether I overlooked him and am dreadfully late to the party, but I'm glad to be up on him now regardless. Thanks to his SS14 capsule collection for Lascivious lingerie he will never be off my radar again. I love everything he's created for Lascivious and his own independent collections, as well; every piece is absolutely delicious. His standard sizing ranges from a US6-12, but as every piece is made to order anyway and most latex designers seem willing to deviate (some even offer up to 5X), I wrote him an email to see if he would as well. His response:
I quite regularly alter sizes slightly for customers, so if they have larger hips than the normal block for example, I can accommodate for that and it is no problem! Unfortunately though if it involves making new patterns or using more latex than allowed for, then obviously the costings start to be thrown out, so I certainly welcome any individual enquiries with regards to sizing but have to take each one as it comes.
Although I'm pleased as punch William responded so quickly and kindly and seems open to offer bespoke services for women who fall outside of his standard sizing, it makes me a bit frustrated that voluptuous women have to potentially pay so much more so often. I know extra fabric is a necessity but a size 8 requires more fabric than a size 2, too, and there's no markup there.
William Wilde's Lascivious capsule collection is pictured below. After the jump I've selected my favorite pieces from his other ranges and, as an added treat, the sidebar contains links to other latex lingerie designers I missed last time.

Natalia Kill's Black Lace Gloves
Oh hi, black lace gloves. You are so delicate but so gothy. You belong on the hands of bad girls. Like me. And like singer Natalie Kills in the Dec/Jan issue of XOXO The Mag. I'm a bit late to the party, but as soon as I saw the spread I knew I had to do a black lace gloves round-up. I actually just wore a pair myself to a cabaret show last weekend. I got a lot of "Hey, Apollonia!" which I enjoyed for obvious reasons.

The Nevada Dress by Patrice Catanzaro
Now this is what I'm talkin about. This right here is everything I love: black, sheer, strappy. And speaking of those straps, the way they're criss-crossing the mid-section almost give it a harness look, which might be what I enjoy the most. Pleasurements.com stocks this bad mammajama, dubbed "The Nevada Dress" up to an XL, but I found another site that has it up to an XXL, which is a US16. Boom. Some (or a lot of) voluptuousness would do this piece the ultimate justice.

Valentine's Day Gift Guide 2014
It's been a long (long, long, LONG) time...I shouldn'ta left you...
Oh, hi there! Well this is a bit awkward. It's been a very long time since Mostbeautifullest was updated–four months shy of two years, to be exact. For the majority of that time I didn't think I would ever resurrect this blog; I'm a mom of two kiddos now and on the brink of moving to a new city. However, a recent rededication to my own self-care, which includes a return to feeling as dripping hot sexy as I wanna be, as well as numerous pleas from fans of the lingerie and pretty thangs I covered here made it clear that this space was a needed one. Also: Beyoncé's visual album happened, and I identified so much of her lingerie on sight I knew I had to use my super powers for good once again. So what better time to do so than right before Valentine's Day? I know I'm cutting it close here (five days left!), but if you have a honeydip whom you still need to shop for (or if you just want to TREAT YO' SELF), I highly suggest giving this gift guide a thorough look. Regular posts will follow from this day forward. Happy Lover's day to all.

Lingerie Meets Outerwear in Slink Magazine
To my delight, Slink magazine's current issue features not one but two spreads, one of which I posted a few days ago, featuring lingerie. The second spread, entitled "XXX", which you can view below, specifically highlights bodysuits/bodyshapers and a waist cinching corset, as layered with outerwear pieces such as sheer and lacy blouses, for some unique results. I'm of the belief, of course, that paired with the right items, lingerie can absolutely function as outerwear. I don't know what I think about the outcome of this particular spread, but the concept itself is a thumbs up in my book. I like the simplicity the black and white photography conveys. And Milk Management's Marlous is a vision.

Polka Dot Lingerie 101
I think every girl has at least one polka-dotted item in her closet. Depending on the size of the dot and color combination, the pattern tends to lean towards the audacious or whimsical–both a perfect contrast for lingerie. This photo of model Lucy Collett (fig.1) proves it; wildly sexy, sure, but also playful. Classic. Inspired, I found a few other polka dot printed lingerie items I'm loving.

State lab testing for neonics

Weigh Enough?
- Published on October 15, 2011
- Written by Peter Grant
Another very bad year for honey in Vermont.
Some home type bee keepers have told me they haven't looked in their hives yet. They are in for a surprise, a bad one.
I started feeding my bees a month ago and wonder if I fed them enough. 10 pounds each so far for both nukes and full hive.
I need to rock them the estimate the weight.
Then get a lot more sugar.
I use a 2 gallon bucket and put very hot water 2/3 full and start pouring in two 5 pound bags of sugar as I stir madly. Then let it sit and cool and be sure it is all disolved before pouring it in hive top feeders. A few bees are sneaky and get by the sides and die in the syrup but only a half dozen or so. And then other bugs get there too.
It is cheaper to feed bees than try to get new nukes each year, but if climate change brings rain during the honey flow time, it isnt worth it. Maybe there is a new disease that makes bees not work hard to bring in honey, but there are a lot of them and they are flying a lot during nice days.
Anyone have any thoughts or observations on this?

Beekeeping with Irene in Killington
- Published on October 6, 2011
- Written by Webmaster
Now that the soil has drained, almost, I thought I might relay a little bee keeping experience to anyone interested in the events of the area. Killington was in the heart of the hit zone.
There was no internet in the morning, and the last I saw of the weather report was the night before about 10pm. The storm was striking the tip of the Carolinas and it was unclear what would happen as it usually is. In the morning, the rain was steadily picking up. It was as hard a rain as any at sea, and anyone who knows what that means, well, knows what that means. You had to keep looking and going outside because amazing things were happening. Water was erupting like fountains several inches out of the ground in places this is unheard of. I half expected animals coming to my house in twos.
Looking out from the second floor window, I realized that things might be a little more severe than I was expecting. Upon occasion a heavy storm or spring melt will flood my valley, or a few beaver dams will breach and block a culvert or two. In my years here, I've seen these things, as many towns do, but this time was different. Things were happening very quickly. I noticed the water level rising noticeably in terms of minutes. At first I was in disbelief. Knowing my hives were in trouble and not wanting to open them in these ridiculous rains, I left to get a two wheeled hand delivery truck from a friend of mine three miles away.
The trip there and back is another story, suffice to say I wasted no time in getting back. The water was more than 18" higher in a span of 20 minutes and was already an inch above the hive entrances. No time for a smoker! I stuffed an entrance screen in the front opening of the first hive. When I leaned the two wheeler back, the rush and weight of water that was in the hive popped the screen right out and the bees finally had the chance to see what was going on out there. In my haste, the boxes shifted relative to the stack and more eagerly joined the fray.
The first hive was wheeled up a dozen steps and I went for the second. I didn't bother with the screen this time. Time was short, so pretty much the same things happened and the hive was brought to safety. The defending bees would be thrown down to the ground by sheets of rain only to shake it off and take flight and fight. Within minutes they quelled the defence mode and started cleaning up the hive. The whole time the hummingbirds kept up dogfight games at the feeders as they do any other day.
The water continued to rise several more feet in the next few hours. The hives would have certainly perished. It occurred to me in one shining moment that Noah, too, must have kept bees, and that's good company. Now, if I can only keep off these bears...

Reveal gorgeous skinTo even your complexion without masking its true tone, use a water-based tinted moisturizer that's semimatte, rather than one with shimmer, says Rachel Goodwin, a makeup artist for Chanel in Los Angeles who counts Penélope Cruz as a client. Need more coverage? Blend a dime-sized drop of foundation with a dollop of lotion. "This mix hides flaws but is still translucent," Goodwin says.
Rev up rosinessGet a healthy glow with a sheer cream blush, which melts seamlessly into skin. To find the most flattering shade, pinch cheeks and choose a color that mimics your lit-from-within warmth. Using the tips of your index and middle fingers, pat product on the apple of cheeks in a circular motion. "It delivers an instant pick-me-up to skin that doesn't seem clownish," says Napolean Perdis, a makeup artist in L.A. who works with Debra Messing.
Soften eyesGive smoky liners a vacation: Curl lashes, then sweep a coat of dark-brown mascara from roots to ends. "Chocolate hues are more natural than jet black, especially if you've got blonde or red hair," says Jillian Dempsey, global creative color director for Avon in L.A. If your fringe is already dark and full (lucky you!), simply dab a small amount of petroleum jelly on tips for extra gloss. Want more oomph? Tap a brown cream shadow along your upper lash line for a bit of definition.
Brighten your smileApplying stains topped with a swipe of tinted lip balm is the easiest way to create that just-ate-berries effect. For the most authentic results, match the shade to the inside of your lips. "That's the color that will be the most complimentary and wearable on you," says Dempsey, Kate Winslet's go-to expert. Now you're ready for your close-up!

Quick Change is a sadly-overlooked 1990 film based on the novel by Jay Cronley and starring and co-directed by Bill Murray, in which his character Grimm and his compatriots Phyllis (Geena Davis) and Loomis (Randy Quaid) successfully pull off the ingenious robbery of a New York City bank, but then find themselves relentlessly thwarted in their attempt(s) to get to the airport and escape the country. Meanwhile, the dogged veteran cop who takes charge of their case (Jason Robard) isn't having such a great day himself..A con-artist does make a brief appearance, but he does not run the scam of the same name. The movie is still darned funny.This is the second time Cronley's book was adapted as a film. In 1985, Hold-Up was released, starring French actor Jean-Paul Belmondo.

Cell Salts Health Supplement
Cell Salts Supplement Info
Cell Salts can be defined as a group of homeopathic remedies made from minerals, the discovery of which can be traced back to the 19th century, when the field of biochemistry focused on the role of specific inorganic minerals in the normal functioning and health of bodily tissues. Dr.Schussler's study of cremated human remains isolated twelve inorganic minerals. Later he himself named these mineral elements 'tissue salts', which help the body function harmoniously. He was successful in defining the physical disorders and disturbances that can be caused by the deficiency of each of the tissue salts. His theories were clinically tested on his own patients with excellent results.
Cell Salts Supplement Benefits
Cell salts are the foundation for enzyme activity in the body. They serve as catalysts in energy cycles and functions. It supports the basic functioning of the cells including water balance, digestion, removing toxins, elasticity of the cells, oxygenation, nutrition, sodium/potassium balance etc. The functions of the twelve cell salts furnished below can very well answer the question- what are the benefits of cell salts?/ why cell salts are considered essential?
- Calcium fluoride, the first tissue salt is known aselasticity salt builds elastic tissues of the skin, muscles and blood vessels.
- Calcium phosphate assists in the formation of new blood cells and in digestion.
- Calcium sulphate functions as blood purifier and cleanser and helps the liver in the removal of waste products.
- Ferrum phosphate carries oxygen around the body and helps in the strengthening of blood vessel walls.
- Kalium muriaticum functions as a blood conditioner.
- Kalium phosphate serves as nerve nutrient.
- Kalium sulphate oxygenates the cells and tissues of the body.
- Magnesium phosphate has an anti-spasmodic function which ensures smooth movement of muscles.
- Natrium muriaticum helps in water metabolism and moisturising the tissues and assists glandular function and digestion.
- Natrium phosphate functions as an acid neutraliser and helps in regulating function of the liver and gall bladder.
- Natrium sulphate eliminates excess water and maintains the health of the liver and gall bladder.
- Silica acts as a cleanser and detoxifier.
Cell Salts Supplement Side Effects
There is no side effect, as they are inorganic elements which naturally occur in the body. Even over dosage cannot cause much harm as they merely replace what is deficient and the body expels any excess. Unlike the other medicines patients don't swallow cell salts pills. Instead, they allow it to be dissolved under the tongue and the cell salts get quickly absorbed into the bloodstream.
Cell Salts Supplement Dosage
The dosage of the cell salts will depend on the severity of the symptoms. In adults the recommended usage is four tablets, three times a day before meals. The frequency of the dosage can be increased according to the severity of the symptoms. These tablets will work better if patients cut down the use of coffee, tea, cigarettes and alcohol. For children, the recommended usage is 1-2 tablets.

We had a amazing time in your home. Your home is beautiful, plenty of room for 10 people, well-shocked with cooking and BBQ utensils, dishes, and cups. All we needed to do was buy food/drinks. The property was clean and very well maintained. The patio/dock area was breath-taking. The pictures online are accurate. That's where we stayed most of the vacation. The canal is a perfect spot for swimming especially if you have young children or one just loves to swim. The houses on the river were nice too but the current is faster and the speed of boat/wave runners are unpedictable. It can get very crowded. Swimming was harder at the river. The owner was easy and a pleasure to work with. She was willing to answer all my questions because I had a lot. I received my deposit back within days after our trip. We had great customer service. We all agreed this will be the yearly vacation spot. I miss it already. Also, we rented a Pontoon from Get Wet rentals and they dropped off and picked up the boat to and from the house. We received excellent customer from them. We didn't have any tow equipment so renting from them was a lifesaver or else we wouldn't have been able to enjoy the river. I would call ahead of time to reserve though. We got lucky. Thank you Laura for renting your amazing home to us. Until next year!

November 27, 2014
Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
The Kansas City Chiefs are in discussions with multiple teams to trade defensive end Jared Allen, who led the NFL in sacks last season.
Chiefs general manager Carl Peterson issued a statement Thursday
confirming the team has discussed Allen with a few teams interested
in acquiring the Chiefs' designated franchise player.
The Chiefs and Allen have been unable to work out a contract for
almost a year.
Allen, a 2008 Pro Bowl starter, had 15 1/2 sacks last season
despite being suspended the first two games because of multiple DUI
Though the franchise tag allows Allen to talk with other teams,
any club attempting to sign him would have to compensate the Chiefs
with two first-round draft picks.

Labor Day Is Less Than A Month Away!
Because my birthday is in September, every year I look forward to celebrating my birthday on Labor Day. It's not really one of the biggies on the yearly event calendar, aside from a dumb rule about wearing white, so this year I'm going to make it a long weekend and take Friday off, visit the grocery store and stock up on goodies that I wouldn't otherwise buy — a couple of tasty beers to try, Sriracha (now that's it's an ever-increasing commodity), meat products that my arteries might not necessarily appreciate, and plenty of cheese.
But enough about my obsession with fatty milk products, so (embarrassingly) it took me 26 years of living to realize what Labor Day actually was all about. I didn't know that it was a celebration of the American labor movement/ all of the societal advancements that were achieved as a result. Paid time off, the 40 hour work week, medical benefits (hot button topic… hello!), blah blah blah, the list goes on and on. But the point is a lot of people laboured heavily for the things that we (generally) take for granted and as such, I decided at a stupidly late hour on Tuesday, that I would celebrate by eating cheese. Cheese dipped in Sriracha washed down by a beer.
So for the first time in about 15 years I ventured to Party City, which was FILLED with children meandering the aisles at the speed of caffeinated chipmunks racing toward a pile of chocolate covered acorns, and navigated toward the discount Halloween costumes for adults…but I digress. I got banners and streamers and some thing that hangs over my door and has tinsel hanging down from it (I don't exactly know why I bought it but it's festive and I was trying to impress my wife with my party planning skills) and on the way out I bought a miniature white board that I'm going to use to write funny quotes on and change them from time to time over the course of the party. I have already laboured much trying to plan this party.
Less than a month to go and I think the last thing I need for my party is a custom plaque to really set the event off. All of the custom plaques that Family Plaques & More! sell are made from high-quality wood that is powder coated (to render it much less vulnerable to the elements). I figure I can keep the plaque for years so its cost divided by the amount of use I'll get for it will make the purchase worthwhile AND I get to show off a little bit with a really classy looking sign — I might even post it in the front yard and tell everyone to look out for it when they're parking.
For more information on Labor Day (IF you're even interested) visit the Wikipedia article outlining the basics.

Family Name Signs – Going Global!
As we mentioned before, we are now shipping our beautiful family name signs internationally. Both our indoor & outdoor signs can ship to & from multiple countries. Visit our website for a full list of countries where we now ship.
As a gift to those who live outside the US, we are including photographs of our company's beautiful state – Colorado – with each Original Family Plaque. Pictures included will be taken by yours truly and showcase what makes our state so spectacular. The first photograph we've selected to include with international orders is the following: The Crystal Mill
I took this photograph last week while visiting the town of Marble. There is a fantastic outfit there called Crystal River Jeep Tours and we used its service to get in to see the Mill. The road that leads into the town of Crystal is a whopper… 4×4 only and not for the faint of heart. It was a beautiful drive with the top off the jeep & an experienced driver doing all the work so we could sight see. Crystal River Jeep Tours does more than just the town of Crystal, so if you want to explore the roads less traveled in that area, give them a call. Super nice folks to work with and worth every penny we paid for the service. Oh, and maybe like them on Facebook while you're at it – they love getting new followers!
If you live/love Colorado, email me suggestions of what locations you think should be included in our international shipments! I'm always looking for the next great location to photograph, so suggestions are welcome: rstone @ familyplaque.com (yes, you need eyeballs leaping computer gnomes!).
International Shipping
We're happy to announce that we now ship internationally! In addition to the US , we now ship all our products to the following countries:
Additionally, we are happy to create an Original Family Plaque in your language – for no additional fee! Simply use our Contact Form prior to ordering to submit your request.
Happy Shopping!
Home Is Where My Horse Is
We're slowly adding new products to our, "Home is where…" category. However, this is one of our favorites, so we've added it to the site a bit early.
Since we make each plaque to order, we can take special requests and change things here & there. For example, we know many of you have more than one horse, so we can modify these plaques to take the plural form, "Home is where my horses are…" Most simple requests, like taking it plural, are free of charge. What's not to love here?
Click here for your, "Home is Where My Horse Is" plaque.
Family plaques and much more!
Last week brought some changes to Family Plaque, namely that we are no longer Family Plaque. We are now, "Family Plaques & More." After surviving a period where many companies went out of business, it became clear to me that Family Plaque stuck around for a few reasons:
- We focused on quality products
- We were not over-leveraged
- We took the time to listen to & please our customers
These three statements may seem like no-brainers to most, but you'd be surprised how far they can take a business (and how many businesses don't incorporate them into their operating philosophies). And as we move forward, we are still focused on these guidelines, #2 in particular. The "More" I'm talking about in our new name will be an expansion of our quality offerings – which our customers have asked for - but all in time. We are not going to buy a lot of inventory and add it to the website all at once, but rather, we'll research new products, see what our customers think, and then add them slowly, in limited quantities, and monitor their performance over time.
We could use your help during this, "More" phase. Join us on Facebook, where we add photographs of potential products & ask for feedback. You can also subscribe to our Newsletter and get quarterly updates about what we're working on, customer specials we're offering, and…well…more!
I'm not big on change, but this is a change I'm excited about & that I owe a large amount of thanks for. To all of Family Plaque's customers, new & old, thank you.

Family Plaques & More!
Since the launch of our company online, we have offered the highest quality indoor plaques on the market. I say this with absolute certainty because I literally started Family Plaque out of my husband's tool shed. My husband and I would head to Home Depot, buy wood, bring it home, cut it, rout it, sand it, prime it, paint it, paint it again, and then finally add the vinyl. I sold these products on eBay to test the waters and see what interest, if any, there was for these items. After spending a year selling on eBay, I realized the company was viable and I took the plunge and created www.familyplaque.com. We were the first and only company to offer a real-time plaque building feature and are still the leader in this application today. We moved plaque production out of the husband's shed and into commercial fabrication & finish shops. The result was beautiful, durable and well-crafted plaques that would stand the test of time. So when I say our product is the best, I truly mean that. We put a lot of time & love into our plaques, and it shows in the final product. And the best news? The product is getting even better!
During the past four years, I've had a lot of interaction with customers and gotten terrific feedback as to what you all would like to see us offer in addition to our Indoor plaques. In 2009, we began offering Whitehall plaques & home goods. And as we rolled into 2011, we expanded our search and are currently looking for more "off the shelf" products for our customers. When we first started out on eBay, we created small, distressed plaques such as this "Home is where your horse is" plaque. Would these plaques be something you'd like to see back in our product offering?
We are also researching personalized baby/kids items. We had a lot of fun creating these personalized Piggy Banks recently and we hope they will make it to the site soon.
As I stated in the beginning of this post, our plaques are getting better. This week, we shut down our Plaque Builder because we are taking a few weeks to revamp & improve our plaque production methods. And although the product is improving, we will not be raising prices on these items. In addition to improving the Indoor plaques, we will be adding additional plaque & text colors, a third line of text, additional ornaments, and more. These changes will slowly roll out during the course of 2011, so keep in touch and see what we have to offer! A great way to stay in touch with us is by joining our new Facebook Fan page. You can also keep up with me & the company by following us on Twitter.
Have a great weekend & stay tuned!
