MX Player: Powerful media player with background playback and new HW decoder
Wednesday 03rd of October 2012
Our Android devices are our pocket-size media hubs. We store our music files in them and listen to them while on the road. We also store our favorite videos so we can watch them whenever we want. Our Android devices have default music and video player apps that can play media files. But, if you want a player with more features, you should try installing third-party media players on your Android device. The Google Play Store offers numerous media player apps and one of those is the MX Player.The MX Player has been sitting on most Android devices due to the fact that it supports a lot of file formats. If that wasn't enough, the app has also been recently updated. The app now packs a new H/W+ decoder, support for Tegra 3-powered devices, Vietnamese language translations, and background playback.When you open the app, it automatically scans for media files on your Android device. No need to manually add them to the player. But, in case your media files aren't detected, you can manually add the file extension of the media files so the app can automatically add your files when

RealPlayer is a WIP media player with potential [Video App Reviews]
Friday 25th of June 2010
Real Networks was once one of the most recognizable brands in online media; then people wised up and switched to MP3 downloads and streaming services. Though its notoriety in music has fallen, Real hasn't disappeared from music completely – it still has an Android app worthy of a glance and a listen.Real Player is a media management and playback tool that handles music, video, and photographs. It's not the prettiest app in any bunch, and is still in beta, meaning users are likely to discover bugs and errors. (For me, this typically happens when using the slideshow feature). However, those willing to stomach these shortcomings will be rewarded with options not available in the default Music app.Music can be viewed according to Artists, Albums, Genres, Ratings, Most Played, and Recently Added. The ability to easily slide between sections is one of the major reasons I loved Sony's Mediascape, and RealPlayer is a pleasure to use if songs in your library are appropriately tagged. The great playback feature makes it much easier to deal with the awkward appearance. Here's a video

Media player with a stop button
Tuesday 10th of January 2012
Hello all, I've downloaded and uninstalled a few highly recommended media players as I'm looking for one that can stop and go back to the beginning of the song, rather than just pause a song. I guess I'm too used to the Windows player. Does such a player exist for my Vizio tablet? Thanks so much! Sent from my VTAB1008 using Android Tablet Forum

Searching for a WiFi Media Player with HDD support
Tuesday 02nd of October 2012
Hi everyone,I'm trying to find a WiFi (n) media player for my bedroom TV to stream internet channels like Youtube etc. as well as being able to play back movies from an external USB HDD.Doesn't have to have a Blue-ray drive.Most important part is that it has a good WiFi reception and NTFS HDD support. Must have video playback capabilities: Xvid, MKV, h.264, mov everything else is secondary.I've been looking for hours but couldn't find a serious device that offers all of that while still being reasonably priced or reliable.Often the WiFi capabilities are sub par so it's really important to have good WiFi reception.Does not require Android OS - if you know of another device that meets the above requirements just post the model name and manufacturer and I look into it.I hope someone here has some streaming experience with such devices Thanks in advance!

The Found Footage Festival
is coming to Portland (Laurelhurst Theater) in December and if you've never checked it out, you MUST! Basically, what they do is go to garage sales, thrift stores, store liquidations, etc and find comedy GOLD in old video tapes. Now in it's 4th year, they are getting videos sent to them from all over the world. Check out the clip below for a taste of the awesomeness! These guys clearly have nothing to offer, yet still have high expectations for the lady they choose to date (some things never change, right ladies?). It looks like an SNL skit, but I assure you it's real, authentic 80's cheese...and it's spectacular! Do you think ANY of these guys got ANY takers??? I seriously doubt it...but it's funny to imagine WHO would have seen this back in the day and thought "mmmhmmm, now that's my dream man!". LOL!

Chewy No Bake Granola Barsposted Tuesday, May 6, 2014.
Leave your take on this! No Chats Just Yet. Be the first! »
I love granola! During fall and winter, the aroma of baking granola is perfection! So now that it is warming up in the South, I go for the no bake granola (loose or bars) This recipe I have altered just a bit as I have found some recipes to leave the "bars" super wet and gooey. Totally not my style. So here is the recipe.. have fun!!
No Bake Granola ( added coconut and almond
1/2 c unsalted butter
1 c honey
2/3 c light brown sugar
3 c old-fashioned oats
2 c crispy rice cereal ( I use Trader Joe's brand)
1/4 c coconut
1/4 c almond sliced
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c semi-sweet chocolate small chunks or mini chips
Line a 9" x 13" baking pan with a Silpat or parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, stir together oats, rice cereal, coconut and almonds.
Place butter, honey and brown sugar in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, until the sugar dissolves. Stir often
Take of the heat and add the vanilla extract.
Pour the mixture over the oat mix.
Stir with a wooden spoon or a spatula to coat the dry mixture evenly.
Scrape the cereal-honey mixture into the pan while pressing down to an even layer.
Sprinkle with chocolate chips and cover with cling wrap. Once covered, use the palm of your hand or a spatula to press the chocolate chips into the granola.
Let set for at least 2 hour.
Cut into bars or bites, your choice! Wrap bars in parchment paper.
Store in an air-tight container for up to 2 weeks.

A handful of interesting points on innovation this morning. First up is a link (via Tyler Cowen) that describes the Depression years of the 1930s as the most innovative in recorded history, a conclusion from Alexander Field's September 2003 paper in the AER:
The hypothesis does not imply that all of the effects of the advances registered in the decade were immediately felt in the productivity data .... Rather, it draws our attention to the probability that progress in invention and innovation in the 1930's was significant, in ways not well appreciated ....
This is not as surprising as it seems, given that progress is defined as the growth rate of MFP (multi-factor productivity). One should expect that a severe reduction in output would cut the least productive capacity (labor and capital) first. A more severe downturn yields a more severe MFP increase. Likewise, you might think that the most booming of years would reflect low MFP growth. The paper includes data tables on compound MFP growth rates which indeed show this:
The weakness of growth in 1972-79 is well known, and explanations for it range from critical (new regulatory burdens hampered GDP growth) to apologetic (quality improvements in safety and the environment resulting from 1970s regulations are unmeasured output).
Measuring Innovation
A new line of research is exploring if GDP has been correctly including intangible value in a broader sense. Fields comments on this, but the "innovaion metric" movement is bigger still. Ed Prescott, for example, believes the intangible value of things like brands deserve much more attention. A commission created by the Commerce Department and headed by Kauffman's Carl Schramm explored the measurement of innovation with recommendations for improving such, published in this 20-page report in January 2008.
It must be said that the economists and staffers at the Bureau of Economic Analysis are constantly improving the measurement of GDP. Our thanks to them. In fact, I discovered today this study: "Toward Better Measurement of Innovation and Intangibles" of measuring innovation, published in January 2009 by BEA and published on its main page:
Expenditures on software, for example, have been treated as investment in the core accounts since 1999. And in 2006, BEA launched a research and development (R&D) satellite account, to explore investment in R&D and its larger economic effects.
My prediction: the measure of R&D will be extremely helpful, but will also reveal that the bulk of growth is still mysterious. Growth by innovation may itself be intangible and far deeper in human creativity than can be captured by research budgets.
So does all this mean the depression of 2007-2017 will be perversely good for the long-term economy. It would be nice to think so, wouldn't it?

Email from the desk of Julie Woessner, President of CASAA
CASAA releases their First Call to Action for FDA Proposed Regulations
We know that hundreds of thousands of vapers and other THR supporters have been wanting to do something to respond to the proposed regulations. This is the first opportunity to do something that really matters. CASAA is doing the research necessary to offer advice to consumers about substantive comments as well as our own comments. However, it is clear that we will not be able to do this as well as we would like within the 75 days, and thus consumer comments will be less useful unless the deadline is extended. We will be submitting our own more detailed request for an extension within a few days (and if you want to wait an see that before submitting your own, you can).
The ANTZ (anti nicotine and tobacco zealots) seem to be organizing a campaign to push the FDA to not extend the deadline, and are implying that it is only industry that wants an extension. We need to make it clear why an extension is needed, that thousands of people support providing the extension, and that this is not primarily about industry's interests. Again, there has been enormous interesting in doing something, and this has resulted in a lot of gestures that are unlikely to make any difference other than creating a feeing of having done something.
Please take the time to do this. It matters. (The link to the full First Call to Action is below.)
If you are not familiar with CASAA, The Consumer Advocates for Smoke-free Alternatives Association, here are some direct links to their website:
- http://casaa.org.
- Direct link to CASSA's News Blog can be found here.
- You can find a breakdown of CASAA's assessment of the FDA's Deeming Regulation here.

Photos and Description of this 4 bedroom holiday lodge in Lakemont - CWW
4 Bedroom 3.5 Bath, Large Boathouse, Kids den, one of a kind home
Welcome to Camp Wig Wam, a beautiful mountain lake retreat located directly on the shores of beautiful Lake Rabun in the North Georgia Mountains. This property is located on the corner of Bear Gap Road and Brandon Mill Road facing Bear Gap Cove. It is 2 miles from Glen-Ella Springs in one direction and 3.1 miles from Minnehaha Falls in the other (See map below).
Situated on 3.3 Acers, Camp Wig Wam even has its own private mountain waterfall on the property. There is parking for 3 cars adjacent to the house and an overflow parking area for boat trailers, etc. on our lot within 500 feet of the house. The entire property is very private. It has easy access from the house to the lake, with very few steps from the basement to the boathouse. This is a major plus since many homes on mountain lakes have steep shorelines with many steps to navigate in order to enjoy their boathouses.
The home was completed in early April 2013 and the vernacular architecture of Camp Wig Wam is truly one of a kind. The 4 bedroom 3 1/2 bath camp, with its large and unique boathouse, is a charming getaway for individuals or groups of up to 10 guests. Unfortunately for some potential guests, pets of any kind are not allowed in order to keep the home safe for future guests who may have pet allergies.
Lake Rabun is a unique GA Power Lake with rich history dating back to 1915. Camp Wig Wam has its lake roots back to the 1930's, which is when the original lake cottage was built on this property. There is no motorized boats provided by the owner of this property but if you bring your own boat or want to rent a boat, you can enjoy multiple lake water sports as well as relaxing afternoon boat cruises among all of the unique homes and boathouses situated along the lakeshore.
There is a paved boat launch nearby at Lake Rabun Beach. Boat Rentals may be available from Bear Gap Outfitters. Lake Rabun is truly a gem and you can enjoy all the lake has to offer as a guest of Camp Wig Wam.
- Suitability:
- Minimum Age Limit for Renters
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets not allowed
Why Ashton Holloway chose Lakemont
This property is truly one of a kind. Lake Rabun in North GA has such a rich history.
What makes this lodge unique
Unique Boathouse, Unique Vernacular Architecture, a Mountain Lake getaway with your own private waterfall, as well as some great other local nature hikes to other larger waterfalls.

Yes! We always knew that Anna Kendrick was totally awesome, so it wasn't much of a surprise this week when she took our girl-crush into overdrive with her nerdy (read: super cool) promo for Saturday Night Live, which she's set to host this weekend with none other than Pharrell. What could be more fun? Well, when asked by cast member Taran Killam in the promo vid, the Pitch Perfect actress had a few suggestions: "Sumo wrestling in doughnut batter? A mansion full of monkey butlers? A tickle fight with puppies while I'm wearing a bikini made of bacon?" Lols. The last one was crowned 'fun winner' by Killam, not so much us.
We round up some of Anna Kendrick's funniest moments...
1. Anna Kendrick goes K-Pop with F(x)
2. Pretty much her entire Pitch Perfect press run...
3. Her "non-Superbowl" ad
4. On Beyonce. And Katy Perry 'finger banging' her cleavage
5. Her Tweets are pretty awesome, too

1) on page load it shows only 1 article, even though it is set to show 3 on page load. After I scroll thru it shows all, but that's just ridiculous.
2) It wouldn't load articles from some categories at all.
Looks great and would be very useful, but I have to give it 1 star since it simply doesn't work right.
Fix it and give us a superb extension.
In my case, I encountered problems with IE. the article boxes were gone after i click the next arrow. Im not sure what causes the problem.

A 10-year-old boy was struck and killed by a Springtown school district school bus early Monday morning outside his home.The accident occurred about 6:30 a.m. at 121 Hilltop Meadows, between Springtown and Azle, as the bus stopped to pick up another child across the street from the boy's home, said Department of Public Safety trooper Gary Rozzell."The woman bus driver stopped the bus and activated the lights," Rozzell said. "The boy came up beside the bus as she deactivated the lights. The bus started to pull forward and the boy couldn't get out of the way, and was struck by the left front of the vehicle."The boy, Haven Lee Norton, tripped and fell down in front of the bus, authorities said. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The only witness to the accident was his mother."Unfortunately, yes, she witnessed the accident," Rozzell said.Norton was a fourth-grader at Springtown Elementary School and was new to riding the bus.The bus driver, whose name wasn't released, voluntarily submitted to drug and alcohol testing following the accident, which is school district policy, Rozzell said.At the time of the accident, there were four children onboard as well as another bus driver, Rozzell said. It isn't clear if the bus driver saw the child."She didn't say," Rozzell said.Investigators checked the bus to see if the lights and brakes were working properly and found no issues. It was released back to the school district. Rozzell said.

Where to after prom on Long Island?
Although it's only April, chances are most high school students are already thinking about the upcoming prom season – which likely means that many of the parents of said students also have the big galas on their radar – and not just the actual events, but any intended after-prom adventures their kids may be planning as well.
Naturally, concerns for both prom-goers and their guardians involve any subsequent destinations – as the specters of alcohol, unsafe locations and other unsupervised hazards lurk within such notorious follow-ups as illegally rented houses, bars that bend policies and the near-legendary "stop at the beach" move. However, there are definite and stable options available offering grownup good times that don't involve adult beverages.
One possibility is the long-running after-prom package offered by the comedy clubs that fall under the Governors banner. As it turns out, the true Governor's in Levittown is one of three spots that form a single company, with the other two being The Brokerage in Bellmore and McGuire's in Bohemia. The three all provide the same deal, which includes admission to a show, as well as unlimited soft drinks and snacks. Each cost $30 per person (or $25 each for groups of 30 or more), and for further details all three clubs can be reached via the same email address and website (firstname.lastname@example.com, govs.com), but have separate phone numbers (Governor's: 516-731-3358; The Brokerage: 516-781-5233; McGuire's: 631-467-5413).

On the other hand, if you (and possibly some other dads and moms) can round up a group of 100 or more – and don't mind serving as chaperones – Skyline Cruises can deliver an after-prom cruise around the Sound. Only parents can make the charter, and the charterers will need to be in attendance for a jaunt that departs from Port Washington to tour the waters of the North Shore, passing by lighthouses and mansions. A DJ and dance space will be provided, and dining menus are also available; for more information, reach out to skylinecruises.com.

|Will U Stand
|Tips & Facts
|Heather Gere
We wanted to share STAND with stopbullying.gov in hopes that it could be shared broadly with US educators and at the upcoming Bullying Prevention Summit in August. The Will U Stand movement was started by Charleigh Gere, a Vermont teen who wanted to encourage her peers to take a stand with one another to stop bullying. She worked with her aunt, a songwriter, to compose STAND, the Anti-Bullying anthem. The song encourages youth to be the one voice, unafraid, to help victims of bullying. To get others excited about making a difference, Charleigh invited the world to participate in a crowd-sourced music video for the anthem. Clips began pouring in from all over the US and as far fledged as Australia, Ireland, Canada and the UK. The heartfelt mashup offers a positive solution to bullying. It shows victims of bullying that they are not alone and that people care. A direct link to STAND http://www.willUstand.com/standtheanthem.php STAND is the first crowd sourced music video created specifically with a purpose to help end bullying. In addition to the anthem (which is free for anyone to use and share), educators can download free bullying prevention posters and signage from the Will You Stand website.

|IDEAs Against Violence
|Tips & Facts
|Nate Eskey
All across the country, 50 million kids go to school every day, arriving on yellow busses, by car, or walking from home. For 90,000 of these children each year, their day doesn't end on the bus, in the car with their parents, or walking home with their friends but, instead, in a trip to the emergency room due to violence suffered in school. In an era where children spend increasingly long hours at schools, the need for solutions to the problem of violence in school environments has never been greater. With the proper education, action, and community empowerment on the subjects of school safety, violence prevention, and holistic response to acts of violence, a future can be created where parents are confident that their children will be safe every day at school and teachers will feel secure in the workplace. To transition from our current state of society to that future, IDEAs Against Violence delivers educational programming and develops safety procedures for school communities. Since school districts have too many competing budget factors as is and providing safety for schools is a moral imperative, all IDEAs Against Violence services and programs are absolutely free.

Icelandic saga from about 1300 AD. It can best be classified as a lygisaga a.k.a. "fairy-tale saga"note , a literary fairy tale.A stranger called Gest appears at the court of King Olaf Tryggvason in Trondheim, Norway 998 AD. He is old yet surprisingly strong, and astounds the king's retainers by his skill in harp-playing and story-telling. Questioned how he can know so much about times long ago, the stranger reveals that he knew Sigurd Fafnisbane personally, as well as the sons of Ragnar Lodbrok, Harald Finehair of Norway and King Ludwig of Germany. This amazes the King and his retainers, as all these men are long dead, some of them for centuries. Finally Gest, who now reveals that he is also called Norna-Gest, tells his full story:When he was recently born, his father had invited three seeresses, or norns, to foretell the child�s future. Two of the norns made good prophecies, but the last one was in a bad mood and when some rude guests enraged her, she cursed Gest to live no longer than the candle that burned beside his cradle. So the other norns extinguished the candle and told Gest�s parents to keep it, and Gest gained immortality — he cannot die before the candle is used up.On the wish of King Olaf, Norna-Gest agrees to be baptized. After a time, King Olaf asks him how long he plans to live. Norna-Gest says that he wants to die, being three hundred years old. In the presence of King Olaf, he lays down on a bed and lights the candle. A priest gives him the last rites. When the candle burns out, he dies.Can be read online here.

Published: 20 September 2012
Abstract: Cod-liver oil and other marine products containing polyunsaturated fatty acids have anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-viral effects and may be useful in the treatment of various inflammatory and infectious diseases. We developed suppositories and ointment with 30% free fatty acid (FFA) extract from omega-3 fish oil. Our purpose was to evaluate the safety of marine lipid suppositories and ointment in healthy volunteers and to explore the laxative effect of the suppositories. Thirty healthy volunteers were randomized either to a study group administrating 30% FFA suppositories and applying 30% FFA ointment to the perianal region twice per day for two weeks, or to a control group using placebo suppositories and ointment in a double blinded manner. Results: No serious toxic effects or irritation were observed. In the study group 93% felt the urge to defecate after administration of the suppositories as compared to 37% in the control group (P = 0.001). Subsequently 90% in the study group defecated, compared to 33% in the control group (P = 0.001). Conclusion: The marine lipid suppositories and ointment were well tolerated with no significant toxic side effects observed during the study period. The suppositories have a distinct laxative effect and we aim to explore this effect in further clinical trials.
1. Introduction
Fish oils are rich in unsaturated fatty acids and approximately 98% of the refined cod-liver oil consists of triglycerides, the rest consisting of unsaponifiable matter, free fatty acids, monoglycerides and diglycerides. The acid part of the glycerides consists mainly of unsaturated fatty acids, including the polyunsaturated omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) [1].
Fish oils such as cod-liver oil containing n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are thought to have beneficial effects on human health and the interest to use them in pharmaceutical products has grown [2,3,4,5]. An example is the PUFA containing drug Omacor®, used to treat hypertriglyceridemia. The effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids on other cardiovascular diseases, inflammatory diseases and various other conditions have been studied in clinical trials [2,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13].
Several studies on the anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal effects of PUFA have been reported. They show PUFAs to be effective in vitro as well as in in vivo studies [14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21].
Thus PUFA might be useful in the treatment of various infectious and inflammatory diseases in the anal region. We have developed suppositories and ointment made of 30% free fatty acid extract from omega-3 cod-liver oil. The free fatty acid extract was first processed from regular cod-liver oil, but later on from omega-3 fish oil, richer in n-3 PUFA. The values of DHA and EPA in the omega-3 fish oil were 18% (% area) and 12% (% area) respectively, as compared to 11% and 8.2% in the regular cod-liver oil. The free fatty acid extract had almost identical fatty acid profile to that of the oil it was extracted from.
The purpose of this trial was to evaluate the safety of the lipid suppositories and ointment and explore the laxative effect of the suppositories in healthy volunteers.
2. Materials and Methods
In the lipid suppositories and ointment we used omega-3 fish oil, free fatty acid extract from omega-3 fish oil and the antioxidant Coviox T70 all provided by Lysi Ltd. (Reykjavík, Iceland). The base for these products consisted of Apifil (bee wax), Precirol ATO 5 (glyceryl palmitostearate), Compritol 888 ATO (glyceryl bihenate), Suppocire NA 0 (Hard fat), all donated by Gattefossé (Saint-Priest, France), and white soft paraffin (vaselinum album).
The fatty acid composition of the omega-3 fish oil and the free fatty acid extract was almost identical containing a mixture of saturated fatty acids (28%), monounsaturated fatty acids (23%) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (49%) of which 40% were omega-3 fatty acids. The main fatty acids were myristic acid (6.9%), palmitic acid (16.5%), palmitoleic acid (8.5%), stearic acid (3.3%), EPA (19%) and DHA (13%).
The 30% ointment consists of: 300 g omega-3 fish oil, 300 g free fatty acids, 1 g Coviox T70, 49 g Apifil, 20 g Precirol ATO, 330 g vaselinum album. Total 1000 g.
The 30% suppositories consist of: 100 g omega-3 fish oil 300 g free fatty acids, 1 g Coviox T70, 50 g Apifil, 19 g Compritol 888, 530 g Suppocire NA 0. Total 1000 g.
These manufacturing formulas are patent protected. The placebo products were produced with same ingredients excluding fish oil and free fatty acids.
3. Clinical Trial
We conducted a double-blinded study with 32 healthy volunteers over 18 years old. After exclusion of non-eligible candidates, i.e., breast feeding, pregnancy, any medications 3 days prior to the study and active ano-rectal disease, 32 healthy volunteers started in the study. Two changed their mind about participating for personal reasons once they had started, and left the study. Thirty finished the study, 15 in each group.
On day 1 the participants underwent anal examination by an expert physician and were randomized into study group, receiving the active ingredients (suppositories and ointments), and control group, receiving placebo (suppositories and ointments) for a total study period of two weeks.
The participants administrated the suppositories in the rectum and applied the ointment to the perianal area twice a day with clinical examination by the same expert physician after the first week including anal examination, where any sign of erythema, inflammation, blood or sores were noted. The participants also answered a questionnaire about side effects or irritation on a scale from 1 to 5, where 1 was no irritation and 5 was severe, and if and when they felt any urge for defecation or if and when they defecated (see Table 1). If no toxic reaction was observed they continued with the treatment regimen for the second week, at the end of which they underwent final examination by the same expert physician and answered the same set of questions (see Table 1).
|Table 1. Clinical symptoms as reported by questionnaire: Itching (scale from 1 to 5 where 1 was non and 5 was severe); Pain (scale from 1 to 5 where 1 was none and 5 was severe); Mucus excretion from anus yes/no; Blood excretion from anus yes/no; Urge for defecation (none, after: 1–5 min, 5–10 min, 10–30 min or longer); Bowel movement (none, after: 1–5 min, 5–10 min, 10–30 min or longer); Disturbing smell (scale from 1 to 5 where 1 was none and 5 was very disturbing).

The subjects randomized to active treatment (3 males and 12 females) had a mean age of 46 years (range 20–71). The placebo group (6 males and 9 females) had a mean age of 43 years (range 18–82). Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 13.0 for windows. Continuous variables were compared between the groups by Mann Whitney test. All tests were two tailed and P < 0.05 was considered significant. Chi square analysis was performed with Fishers exact test to match the data from the questionnaire.
4. Results
The anal examinations conducted after week one and two did not reveal any toxic skin reactions in either group. Complaints of itching was not statistically significant different between the groups (13% in both). All complaints were graded minor, or 2 on the scale of 1–5. There were slightly more complaints of mild pain in the study group (20%) compared to the control group (7%) (P = 0.129). All complaints were minor and transient. Four complained about noticing a trace of mucus at defecation in the study group as compared to one in the control group (P = 0.161). There were three complaints about seeing a trace of blood at defecation in the study group (2 in week 1 and 1 in week 2) as compared to none in the control group (P = 0.076). None of the subjects noted both mucus excretion and trace of blood. Other clinical symptoms are demonstrated in Table 1.
In the study group 93% felt the urge to defecate, most within 10 min after administration of suppositories. In the placebo group 37% felt the urge for defecation after administration of suppositories (P = 0.001) (Figure 1, Table 1). In the study group 90% had bowel movement, most within 10 min, after administration of suppositories as compared to 33% in the control group (P = 0.001) (Figure 1, Table 1). The smell was more troublesome in the study group (67%) as compared to the placebo group (7%) (P = 0.001).
5. Discussion
This is the first time fish oil and their free fatty acid extracts have been studied and reported in the form of suppositories and ointments, intended for anal use.
Hemorrhoids, anal fissure and pruritus ani are all common benign anal diseases that rely on corticosteroid-based medication for their treatment [22,23,24,25]. These medications have limited efficacy and other alternative therapies are needed.
Human toxicology studies have not shown any toxic effects of fish oils and fatty acids, despite ingestion of up to 18 g/day of EPA in ethyl ester form [20].
No toxicological effects were observed in studies where animals were given up to 2000 mg/kg body weight/day of fish oils [26]. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommend that the daily intake of the polyunsaturated fatty acids EPA and DHA should not exceed 3 g. In comparison, assuming 100% absorption in the rectum, a person would have to use at least 12 of our lipid suppositories per day to reach that same amount.
No toxic skin reactions were observed in this trial leading us to conclude that the 30% ointment is well tolerated in the studied dosage. There were only minor complaints of itching and pain in both groups with no statistically significant difference. There were four complaints about mucus secretion in the study group. All of these complaints were of minor concern to participants as the participants were not certain whether it was a melted suppository or real mucus fluids excretion. In all accounts the amount of fluid observed were small and only noticed soon after administration in conjunction with defecation. There were three complaints of seeing blood after defecation in the study group, although the participants were not certain whether this was actually blood or a mixture of feces and melted suppositories. In all instances this was a one time observation with only small traces, and there was no pain or other accompanying symptoms. The smell of the lipid suppositories was bothering to some of the subjects, but only during the time of administration of the medication and at defecation. One cannot rule out the possibility that this would have affected the objective parameters such as urge to defecate and bowel movements when noted during the time of administration of the suppositories.
The suppositories tested in this study clearly stimulated bowel movement causing defecation without causing diarrhea, mucus secretion or any prolonged effect after defecation. In the study group, most bowel movements occurred within 10 min after administration of the suppositories and only few occurred 30 min or longer after administration. The exact mechanism behind the bowel stimulation is not clear. Spiller et al. showed that long chain fatty acids (oleic acid) stimulated unusual motor patterns in the ascending colon and acted as laxative [27]. Furthermore, the use of plant oils as a laxative is well known [20,28]. It is conceivable that the effect of the lipid suppositories could be due to nonspecific stimulation of rectal mucosa nerve endings leading to a peristaltic reflex, causing the urge for defecation observed in the study group, after administration thus acting in a similar way as Bisacodyl [29]. The lipid suppositories did not seem to act as a bulking agent as there was no significant excess fluid accompanying the stools. As with other oils, the lubricant effect of the lipids could play a role.
6. Conclusion
The lipid suppositories and ointment tested in this study seem to be safe and have a distinct effect on bowel movements in healthy subjects. Clinical trials in patients with constipation problems and preparation for endoscopy in the rectum and sigmoid are indicated.

This Puppy Sling Rocks!
June 13, 2014
I am an avid hiker & backpacker who just got a new puppy. In order to bring my little guy along I needed a safe way to include him in the fun. Exhaustive searches on the internet ensured. I had seen this one, but at first discounted it as an option because I don't think the picture actually is a good reflection of the actual product. A week later I saw a person wearing one at a dog event I was attending. Her puppy was happily and safely using the sling being carried around her owner's neck. She let me inspect the whole sling & how the puppy (PyrShep, approx. 12 lbs.) fit inside with plenty of room to spare. Seeing the sling in person let me know it was the one I needed & could use along with my regular backpack on trails. Ordered it from PetGuys the day after I saw it in person & received it two days later. Extremely happy with the design & quality of this sling. It would be great for city puppies who need to stay off the ground, or in my case, trail adventure pups that can't yet walk as far as we hike on our outings. Highly recommend this Kyjen Outward Hound sling if you need a way to bring your puppy safely with you wherever you go.
Pros:Excellent design Fast shipping Quality stitching & straps Roomy compartment for puppy Safety latches for puppy collar
Cons:Only con I can think of, and it's not a "con", but more of an additional design idea - I would add a small pouch to the "exterior" of the bag so some treats could be stored on the bag for rewarding the puppy or allowing people to hand the puppy a treat as a socializing bonus.

Got this for a special needs kitty I have. It could be smaller for her, but I put a towel in it and it works great. I can carry her around with me and she can see the world! We both love it!
Pros:Light weight, but very well made.
Customer service provided by PetGuys is efficient and prompt. I was extremely impressed with the followup of an out of stock item. Service, prices, products are excellent! I ... read more

The bug (well not really but it could be a problem for some).
When creating a back-up from a website (lets say domain-a.com), and placing it on a different domain (say damain-b.com). The configuration.php has the wrong tmp folder stated. By this reason, installing a component does not work on your new domain.
What would be nice.
We would love to see the possibility to schedule a back-up weekly (maybe using cronjobs).
For a free component this fulfils everything we require.
Complete back up of a site, including installer.
I had a problem with one of the sites, checked the forum, the answer was already there after a quick search. Installed the latest version and it works perfectly.
It is worth a donation to the developers, again a great component.
Does exactly what it say's on the tin !
Simply great. Backup your site, download it, unpack it in a folder with a simple name, and procede as if it was a joomla usual instalation (meaning going to your browser and typing the url for the name you just give to the folder, for instance http://localhost:8888/backup). Here a wonderfully easy menu will do all for you.
Thank you guys, you did it.
One problem is that, probably due to some php settings done by GoDaddy, joomlapack does not work with GoDaddy shared hosting accounts.
Read the warnings and posts on the jpack forums.
A new version will be coming out soon that may potentially fix the GoDaddy problem.
Step 1: Click "Backup Now"
Step 2: Click "Backup your site"
Step 3: There is no step 3 because you are done, go work on something else!
My only advice to newbies (like me) using this, make sure you put your backup directory above your root and set the permissions correctly. After that it is no harder then checking e-mail. This program should get a bonus 6th star.
I backup my site just for the heck of it now after only a couple of edits because it is so simple and quick.
One last thing: Restoring the site - is just as brainless.
There are just so many hackers out there and this extension is one of the answers to bring back life to the site.
For those who dont know how to restore, just install the files in the directory where you want restore your site. You can run the installation file by opening your site in web browser, next it will walk you through. Some times your userid and pwd that you previously used may not work if you are on shared hosting. You need to use your cpanel login thats how mine worked.
Excellent work by Joomla Pack.
What a smooth, easy to use product.
Provides the ideal functionality to backup and restore a Joomla! site with ease. Was so simple and friendly to use, I can now give this to my clients to use.
It gives me the confidence that the sites can be restored simply and quickly.
Thanks and keep up the good work.
Satisfied Joomla! admin.
A little digging showed that the backup directory needs to have the webserver "apache" as the owner. CHOWNed that property and things are working fine now. Simply having apache be a member of the owner group did not suffice.
I highly recommend it.. Thx for the great extension guys!!
Thanks again for a great solution,..
Anyone looking for a solid, very simple and hands off backup, look no further. Install, configure easier than ANY other component,.. and let it do it's job.
Was able to move our Joomla project between domains with this tool which saved hours of configuration.
Excellent extension, so good it should be included as standard.
If I ever have to do a restoration then I will see how good it really is, I hope I never have to.
I have a Linux Ubuntu system and the regular archive manager wouldn't unzip the back-up, but it worked OK with 7Zip.
