Posted on: June 2, 2006 in Music
I've been playing with Songbird recently (which I've talked about before), and although it's still pretty rough around the edges (as in spontaneous crashes and lockups), I have seen the future. I just love the feeling of making playlists of web resources as I cruise through some of my favorite music blogs.
It's great to be able to "collect*" songs for later as well, and I love how easy it is to schedule songs for download in Songbird. Like all good products it takes an activity that is normally time consuming and repetitive and makes it easy. I'm sure the RIAA is probably cringing, but with so many new companies tackling the music recommendation space, I think Songbirds real strength lies in music acquisition (although it also encourages exploration and discovery too, of course).
A while ago I grabbed a wicked one liner from Jeffery Veen that downloads all the mp3's from a given URL:
wget -r -l1 -H -t1 -nd -N -np -A.mp3 -erobots=off http://a-url-goes-here.com
I've occasionally been using this to grab mp3's from a blog, but Songbird may finally put my rudimentary tools to rest. I think this product will really change my listening and browsing patterns, at least once the Mac version is released ;)
And hey, Songbird even uses Drupal! Which reminds me… if any Songbird folk read this, and if they ever need a hand with any Drupal/music hackery, give us a call!

LeVake Case Denied by Supreme Court
by Eugenie C. Scott
On January 7, 2002, the US Supreme Court denied the appeal of Minnesota teacher Rodney LeVake to have his case for teaching "evidence against evolution" heard at the highest level. Mr. LeVake has no further appeals.
NCSE Analysis of Ohio Standards
Science Excellence for All Ohioans, listed on their web site as a project of the American Family Association of Ohio, has posted on its web site a list of changes it would like to see incorporated into the new Ohio Science Standards. The purpose of the changes is to bring intelligent design into the science curriculum as a "viable alternative explanation for both the origin and diversity of life".
NCSE's "Setting the Record Straight" Now Available
NCSE responded to many of the claims made by these groups, often consulting with leading scientists in various fields.
Santorum Amendment Stripped from Education Bill
The Elementary and Secondary Education Authorization Act which is headed for the President's signature does not contain the antievolution "Santorum amendment", though there is brief mention of the topic of evolution in explanatory materials appended to the law. The good news for teachers is that they will not have to teach evolution any differently as a result of the new legislation.
BackgroundSince the summer of 2001, a joint Senate-House conference committee has attempted to resolve the House and Senate versions of the Elementary and
Ohio Group Lobbies for Standards Changes

NDSU unveils Gate City Bank Auditorium for new generation of students
Several hundred NDSU students, faculty and staff joined members of Gate City Bank to dedicate Gate City Bank Auditorium Aug. 20.
A $500,000 gift from Gate City Bank to the NDSU Development Foundation renovated the former Stevens Hall Auditorium and created an endowment for ongoing maintenance. Improvements to the nearly 500-seat auditorium included new seats, lighting and carpet, easier access for people with disabilities and updated educational technology.
President Dean L. Bresciani said Gate City Bank stepped up once again for NDSU to improve one of the campus' largest and busiest auditoriums. "The breadth and results of Gate City Bank's gift are stunning and will impact students for a long time," he said.
A high school freshman when the auditorium was originally dedicated in 1968, Gate City Bank Chairman, President and CEO Steve Swiontek said he had several classes in the building upon entering NDSU in 1972. He said the partnership between the bank and NDSU supports the university's land-grant mission and status as an economic engine of North Dakota. "This gift is another example of the importance Gate City Bank places on giving back to the communities we serve," Swiontek said.
Bresciani said the renovation was designed for contemporary research university students. "Gate City Bank, thank you once again for investing in the state, university and students," he said.
NDSU Development Foundation President Jonal Uglem said, "The term 'dedication' really does reflect what Gate City Bank feels for this university and this community." She added the remodeling is "another step toward prioritizing the student learning environment."
NDSU's fall classes began later the same day of the ceremony. "We can now declare Gate City Bank Auditorium open for business," said Jim Miller, executive director of the NDSU Development Foundation. "Students will be coming in within hours to begin their first classes."
NDSU is recognized as one of the nation's top 108 public and private universities by the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education.

Argh, I think my sense of grammar is slipping. I need to find a good
grammar blog that's above the level of "your" versus "you're". I need
to read a lot of well-edited work instead of just reading blogs and
scientific papers. My textbooks are pretty okay, although they're a
bit dry. Hmm. I need literature!
It doesn't help that I'm a geek. Geeks do weird things to punctuation,
too. For example, it's hard for me not to put punctuation outside
quoted strings, such as the "you're" in the first paragraph. I can't
remember how to punctuate embedded sentences. I may just go and get
myself a copy of "Eats, Shoots, and Leaves"…
The things that one most wants to do are the things that are probably most worth doing. – Winifred Holtby, O Magazine, September 2002
Or, as Joseph Campbell said:
My general formula for my students is "Follow your bliss." Find where it is, and don't be afraid to follow it. – Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth
Find out what you are truly passionate about and give your all to it.
I spent some time thinking about what to do during my Christmas break. Aside from brainstorming sessions for education, geekettes and making a difference, I'm also thinking of having some round-table chats about our quarter-life crises.
Monday was a blast with a tango party. Then it was back to work, with lots of papers to write and books to read. I took some time out to take the winter clothes pictures my mom's been asking for, and I also took a self-portrait. I raided the library for a whole bunch of books and started thinking about the classes I want to take next semester. My week wrapped up with an IBM meeting, and my weekend started with a bunch of rants and reflections on computer science education.
Tomorrow I'm going to hand in my MIE1407 paper and then work like heck on the project proposal for IBM due on Tuesday. Then I need to work on my application for the Delta Kappa Gamma scholarship and finish marking the papers for the DSS project. Oh, and I shouldn't forget to study for my finals exams on Monday, too!
Hectic week up ahead, but with judicious planning, I'm sure I can survive.

Quickly generate woolen fabric like interweaving grids, including some animation features.
|Supported C4D releases:
|Required C4D modules:
Love this. Thanks! Any way to make more than two colors/materials?
Hi! I need to model a wicker basket. Will the Grid Maker work for that purpose? Thanks.
Hello! Thanks so much for this, it's awesome! I've been playing around for days in the hierarchy. Whats the best way to make a custom shape, for example you have made a diamond shape with your Chinese knot. Can you please help me out with this?
Please make to r14!!
Would really appreciate an update for R14.
Is there a update for R14 ?
Very good tool!
How can I easy convert the grid in one edible object?
If I unhide children and select 'Current State to Object' it doesn't work.
Unfortunately can't at current time…
the grid maker is or is not a plugin? I am using windows C4D R13, and after copying in the plugin folder…nothing appears inside after the software is launched…can you help?
No, It's a preset file, just open the c4d scene in the rar file, and save it in your content browser, you can reuse it at any time
Hi there
I am trying to use your great plugin to form a shoe, I was wondering if there was anyway to offset the individual animation of the individual strands? thanks
Hi, the strands are cloned, you may need to unhide childen, figure out the hierarchy, then try mograph selection.
Hello there !
I find this "Grid Maker" so nice and i thank you for it !
I can`t figure though how to get any closer to the masterpiece u got there (the red one). Could you guide me a bit ? Only if you can/want/have time, if not it`s ok i understand.
Thank you again,
I use Grid Maker to make the rhomb body, and boole it for the characters.
The other lines and knots just created with traditional way: draw splines and sweep them.
When rendering I use displacement to make those tiny lines.
Hope it can help you!
Hello again,
Thank you for the quick reply that unfortunately i saw it recently. i don`t know why i had the impression i will receive something on the email (felt bad, that i didn`t receive an answer when in fact i did 4 hours later but i didn`t know -.-) Thank you for the explanation, i will try to do something similar but i don`t think i`ll be able to pull this off, i`ll let you know.
When I add FFD to grid, (making it a child of the grid) it changes it appearance before I even apply new FFD points.
Can you assist?
Thank you
First, modify the FFD as close as the grid. Then, put FFD and grid under one group(Alt+D) should be better, if you have other deformers, FFD should at top of others.
Hope it can help you:)
Thanks for getting back to me. It still is not working, as the weave flattens out once the FFD is applied. Will try to attach a screenshot so you can see what I have done.If I can not, do you have an email I can send the pic to?
Hello, Liang,
first many thanks for Grid Maker!
I have a question: if I put on the material with a line structure (as for example in your Japanese motive), the structure properly does not lie with the form. How do you make this?
Actually it's called chinese knot…haha
Maybe I'm not very clear with your meaning. If you ask the small line structures on chinese knot, the problem is the texture projection, you need to uncheck HIDE CHILDREN in Grid Maker's attributes, then find the textrue tag, the default projection is Spherical, change to UVW mapping.
BTW, I use displacement to make those small lines.
Good Luck to you
Thank you very much!
with HIDE CHILDREN I can only activate or deactivate. But I nowhere find the textrue tag :(
Hello , beautiful work and can you help me to use it, I have made low poly sofa and want to apply your grid to sofa ,how to do that,pls help
Try to use FFD deformer, modify the points to match the surface
Thank you very much!!!
Great Work. Thank You!
thanks so much for sharing this! it looks excellent
The grid makes is fantastic, so thanks tons…. One quick question is that if I wanted to attach a particle to the surface so it looked like water drops or food etc… how would I do that… I tried clone a sphere and then using object to try attach to the surface… but did not have much luck… so any ideas?
Best regards, Justin
Hi, justin
Sorry, I come back late. The grid maker has a very complex hierarchy, so if you just drag the grid maker null object it doesn't work. To make that, you need uncheck the hide child parameter in the display group of grid maker, then you will see the hierarchy, drag the formula spline to your cloner, and your cloner must at the same hierarchy with formula. There are 4 formula splines. so you have to do it one by one.
I should say there still have many limitations of this preset, maybe I will try to simplify the compliex hierarchy to achieve more effects.
good luck,
Thanks for this! Can't wait to try it out.
good job. thank you for this nice tools.:)

"On April 20, we received another petition under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 on the issue of China's currency.
"In most respects, this petition is the same as two petitions filed in September 2004 by labor unions, other interests and certain members of Congress.
"The Bush Administration has been consistent in its position with respect to China's exchange rate policies: we believe China must move to adopt a flexible, market-based exchange rate. Under the leadership of Treasury Secretary Snow and his team, the Administration has worked tirelessly to urge the Chinese government to implement that goal. In response, Chinese officials have publicly committed that they will move to a more flexible system. We believe they have also undertaken the necessary and appropriate steps to prepare for such a move.
"Secretary Snow has made clear that China is now ready to move toward a flexible, market-based exchange rate and should move without delay in a manner and magnitude that is sufficiently reflective of underlying market conditions. In reporting to Congress on international economic and exchange rate policies on May 17, Secretary Snow remarked that China's current exchange rate system poses risks to China's economy, its trading partners, and global economic growth. He also noted the growing international consensus on the importance of flexible currency regimes.
"The Administration is committed to using all available tools to ensure a level playing field in international trade, including important trade remedy laws like Section 301. The Administration also shares the goal of many of the proponents of the April 20 Section 301 petition: a flexible, market-based exchange rate system in China. However, we do not believe that a Section 301 action is an appropriate or a productive way to achieve that goal. We therefore must decline to accept the course of action recommended through this latest petition.
"The Administration clearly recognizes the importance of the currency issue in the overall context of the U.S.-China economic relationship, but it is not the only issue of concern. Shortly after being sworn in as U.S. Trade Representative, Ambassador Portman initiated a top-to-bottom review of U.S. trade policy with respect to China. This review aims to ensure that the United States is employing the best strategies and most effectively utilizing the range of tools and resources at our disposal to pursue a trade relationship with China that best serves the American people.
"Ambassador Portman has already met with a range of Chinese officials to press U.S. economic interests including China's enforcement of U.S. intellectual property rights; market access for U.S. goods and services, including manufactured and agricultural exports; concerns over unfair Chinese trading practices that disadvantage U.S. firms and their workers; and other issues.
"The Administration will continue to work with Members of Congress on these issues as we seek to achieve our common goals: a more flexible, market-based exchange rate for China's currency and a level playing field for American businesses, workers, farmers and service providers."

What Has 1.1 Terabytes, 9,503 BogoMips and Flies?
We've been doing "building the Ultimate Linux Box" articles in LJ since 1996. In that time, we have seen Linux scale to IBM mainframes, 32-way ccNUMA boxes and other exotic hardware. As much as we'd like to explain how to build them, most of us aren't going to have the space, power or budget for a 32-processor system that we can tear down whenever we want to put in another sound card.
So our Ultimate Linux Box is more of an ultimate Linux workstation or an ultimate Linux small server—big enough to be faster than you need for most uses and small enough to be practical in an office or home environment.
The first question, of course, is whether to buy or build your machine. On the one hand, you can do things for your hand-built system that a mass-market PC manufacturer probably won't:
Pick the very best case for the exact hardware you want to run, your work environment, your aesthetic sensibilities and your desire to work inside easily.
Use a top-quality power supply and quiet, ball-bearing fans.
For non-ultimate systems, you can put a really good SCSI card, SCSI drives and Ethernet card on what is otherwise a low-end desktop machine. This type of configuration will work well for most Linux developer workstations and small server tasks, but mass-market vendors won't usually build them because they don't appeal to people who buy systems by comparing CPU clock speeds and prices.
Leave off the parts that will end up gathering dust: your keyboards and mice will last several generations of hardware, and you probably already have a box with a CD burner.
On the other hand, there are two things that a mass-market PC manufacturer can provide that you probably won't:
Professional thermal and acoustic engineering. Your homebrew system will likely end up with more fans, a bigger case and a bigger power supply than a mass-market system with similar performance numbers. This doesn't necessarily have to translate into more noise, if you're careful.
Relationships with hardware vendors who don't respect you. One of the big differences between our box and the Hewlett-Packard x4000 we reviewed in the LJ June 2002 issue is that we're using an ATI video card, and HP uses NVIDIA.
But if you're working with interesting new versions of core software, such as the kernel and X, you might not find much help from the traditional Linux channels for proprietary modules. At USENIX this year, Linus Torvalds said, "They may work, but you're not getting the full advantage of Linux." The only case when you could possibly accept a non-Linux kernel module is when you're not doing any "Linux-y" stuff with the box—if you treat it like just another PC and don't recompile the kernel or hack anything whatsoever. Oh, and if you completely trust your hardware vendor.
The intermediate route, which is ordering your system from a low-volume or custom shop serving the Linux market, is worth considering if you want to save shopping and building time, as well as get good advice on Linux-friendly parts. Linux hardware vendors are an informal, peer-to-peer reputation system for selecting good parts, and this works surprisingly well. You can go to the web sites of the good ones, see complete lists of every piece of hardware that will go into your system and get a no-hassle warranty on the complete box.
For this year's Ultimate Linux Box, we started with a base configuration of the Glacier Dual Xeon workstation from Aspen Systems Inc. in Colorado, and here's why. Think of the Ultimate Linux Box as a Beowulf node, one with good graphics and sound and a lot of reliable storage, in a tower case.
Companies that build Beowulf clusters are good places to look for the fastest processors and motherboards and the most reliable memory, because cluster users are picky about such things.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

I popped the pans in the oven anyways as an experiment but figured I would ask if anyone has made this boo-boo before. Since I'm now out of sour cream, I will most likely just have to make a scratch white cake if this bombs.

Leadership · Passion · Results
On Friday, Nov.9th, we finally heard the good news---we won!!!
It was a hard-fought contest, with the final results delayed for three days while the city hand-counted 5,500 ballots that couldn't be scanned on election night because of a printing error. In the end, we won by 729 votes, a three percent margin out of the 23,973 votes cast.
We always said this would be a tight race and we'd win it through word of mouth. Thank you so much for reaching out to friends, neighbors and strangers on my behalf. Every donation, phone-call, email, conversation, lawn sign, door knocked, Tweet and Facebook post really mattered.
It was a tremendous team effort and we couldn't have won without the generous support and thousands of volunteer hours from so many people. You've made it possible for me to take on the work and responsibility of Minneapolis School Board Director and I'm honored, humbled, and excited to do so! THANK YOU!!!!
We're having a party/open-house on Monday, November 19th from 5:30--7:30 p.m. at the home of Courtney Cushing Kiernat, at 2512 Upton Ave South, Minneapolis, MN 55404. Please stop in if you can. I'd love to thank you personally. (RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com, but if you forget, no worries, just come.)
While the solutions to our challenges in our schools will not be easy, I'm energized by the chance to work on them. I'll continue reaching out to our entire district. Working together, we can make sure this is a community where ALL families have the option to send their children to great public schools!
Thank you for supporting and believing in me! I am deeply grateful and look forward to the hard work ahead.-Josh Reimnitz

China's English Language News Channel Expansion In Washington
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- CCTV America, the U.S. production arm of the Beijing based global news channel CCTV News, will expand programming on Monday February 4 th. Broadcast live from Washington D.C., CCTV News launches a new two hour edition of BIZ ASIA AMERICA, 7pm to 9pm eastern standard time.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130202/PH53222 )
In its new format, BIZ ASIA AMERICA provides a daily business news magazine aimed at the general interest viewer. With a special focus on US-China trade, finance, and investment, BIZ ASIA AMERICA explores the trends that shape the increasingly integrated economic world in which we live.
The program combines business news with in depth global news reports from an increasing line-up of Correspondents across Asia, South America, Africa, and Europe. The increase in broadcast hours allows CCTV America to explore comprehensively global issues which other news channels treat in a repetitive, headline format.The new programming team is anchored by Phillip Yin, Mike Walter, and Elaine Reyes in Washington and Michelle Makori in New York. Joining the CCTV America team, the newest addition is Anand Naidoo, former anchor at CNN International and Al Jazeera English.* Special segments of the new program will highlight developments in new technology with regular reports from Silicon Valley. The two hour program also increases CCTV News' commitment to coverage of Central and South America. A new team has been assembled in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo to explore the growth of Brazil. An expanded operation in Mexico City will complement a continuing presence in Havana, Buenos Aires, Bogota, and Lima to provide more extensive coverage of this region than any other English language news broadcaster. CCTV America was launched on February 6, 2012 to provide both North American and global viewers, additional perspectives on China, world and U-S developments. The move was part of the effort by CCTV News to increase the quality, breadth, and reach of the its global news channel founded in April 2010. In addition to broadcasts from Beijing, CCTV News has also pioneered extensive contributions on the African continent with its one year old Africa programming center in Nairobi. In the United States, CCTV News aims to be a fully competitive television news service. It is distributed across the US on DISH TV, satellite channel 265. In the greater Washington DC area on digital terrestrial MHz Network channel 3. On Cable: Comcast Channel 273. In New York: Time Warner Cable channel 134; Verizon FIOS Channel 277.

For a while it seemed like the boys at Singletree Productions were destined to be the Susan Lucci's of deadCENTER; year after year they screened hilarious shorts and features to appreciative audiences, but come awards time they were always the bridesmaids. This ended last year when their feature SIMMONS ON VINYL took home the 2010 Jury Prize, and now the filmmaking comedy team is following up with S&M LAWN CARE. Here's the official synopsis:
Sal and Mel are the best lawn care team in town. Sal is a college student saving money to go student in the Amazon while Mel has a dream to be the best lawn care specialist in town. Things are going well, until they begin to lose yards for no reason. Day after day, more customers leave them. Sal and Mel are completely confused until they discover Lawns by Drake, a newer lawn care service in town. Lawns by Drake specializes in sexiness, with Drake mowing in tight spandex and his two female assistants working in little clothing. Sal and Mel must find a way to keep their goals alive, even though everything is slipping away from them.
S&M LAWN CARE screens Friday night June 10th at 7:00pm at the Harkins Bricktown.

GOP-led states start warming up to health care law
By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR November 15, 2012 3:48PM
FILE - This June 28, 2012 file photo shows Florida Gov. Rick Scott in Tallahassee, Fla. From the South to the heartland, cracks are appearing in the once-solid wall of Republican resistance to President Barack Obama's health care law. One of the most visible opponents of Obama's overhaul, Florida Republican Gov. Rick Scott, now says "if I can get to yes, I want to get to yes." (AP Photo/Steve Cannon, File)
Updated: November 15, 2012 11:26PM
WASHINGTON (AP) — From the South to the heartland, the once-solid wall of Republican resistance to President Barack Obama's health care law is cracking.
Ahead of a federal deadline Friday for states to declare their intentions, Associated Press reporters interviewed governors and state officials around the country.
AP found surprising openness to the overhaul in some cases, continued opposition in others — and a widespread, urgent desire for answers on key unresolved details.
Republican-led New Mexico and Mississippi are going ahead with new state insurance markets under the law.
Iowa and Ohio are considering partnerships with Washington.
And Florida Gov. Rick Scott, a staunch opponent of what Republicans dismiss as "Obamacare" now says he wants to "get to yes."
Eventually some 30 million uninsured people are expected to gain coverage through the law.

THIS IS A US Based Company and is subject to prying government eyes
The corporate response below is great from P.I.A. ... from a PR perspective BUT P.I.A. is subject to supreme law of the land (and alphabet agencies) regardless of whatever they state in a blog post (including one that was just written today).
Companies are forbidden from disclosing ties with the government and Google/M$/Yahoo are perfect examples of this... Lavabit is the only one that refused to collude with the government outright and they had to shut down.
If you're worried about privacy and considering paying with BitCoins (as outlined by someone below) you definitely should seek a hosting provider that's NOT based in the U.S..

Why you need a VPN
Speed Tests
351+ Servers in 9+ Countries
More Info on various services available (2013 edition)
5 Simultaneous Logins per Account
SOCKS5 Proxy Included
OpenVPN / L2TP / PPTP
Android App
Heads up: Doesn't work in mainland China, so save your time and money if you plan to use it there.
You may also like to try a free alternative....
HotSpot Shield (American VPN, Powered By Ads) (Adblock Plus Extension kills off these ads in Firefox & Chrome.
Here are some alternative VPN services that have large selection of servers (worldwide)
Setting up BT software Vuze (used to be call Azureus) to only use VPN connection (won't connect if VPN connection not available.)
Here is a tutorial of it.
Here's a tutorial for utorrent: http://wiki.hidemyass.
(Remember to un-check make new firewall rule in utorrent settings/prefs)
Enter the interface identifier into the field next to "Bind to local IP address or interface" in the settings.
Note that the interface identifier is named different on every system, so make sure to check how exactly it is called on yours.
In their example, it is "eth15" for OpenVPN, "net2" for PPTP" and "net1" for L2TP.
Make sure the checkbox next to "Enforce IP bindings even when interfaces are not available" is checked;
otherwise it can happen that Vuze keeps downloading without using the VPN.
If the Vuze setup is done correctly, it will ONLY use your VPN connection. If you didn't login to your VPN service, Vuze won't work.
For those of use still trying to pay with Anonymous Bitcoins... or as Anonymous as possible... There is a good recent link that Zabeer123 shared with us in the thread... This is a step-by-step guide to creating an anonymous wallet for what ever reason... There is also an option to pay with a one time gift card....
Two Mostly Somewhat anonymous Payment Options
** ALWAYS PAY CASH FOR EITHER OPTION / DO NOT USE SAVINGS CARDS IF BUYING @ A GROCERY STORE/CVS/WALGREEN's or Other / DO NOT ASK A BUSINESS HOW LONG THEY SAVE THEIR SECURITY FOOTAGE OR YOU'LL FLAG YOURSELF **
1st - BitCoins - A Step-by-Step Guide to Creating an Anonymous Wallet for Covert Practices [reddit.com]
Key quote/point of tutorial below (You'll still be on camera whereever you end up doing the exchange) Read, Read and Read the tutorial some more until you know what you are doing.
- As anonymous as you can theoretically get
- Once you learn how to do it, you can replicate it for next time
- Should cost about 3%-7% above MT.Gox average price, which should be less then $4.95 per transaction on smaller amounts of $75
- You still have to meet some one in public or at their business.
- You'll still be on camera at Starbucks or at a business
- You are trusting a stranger
- It costs money to mix your BitCoins @ a mixing service
- Value of BitCoins can fluctuate widely, often.
- Never use your home wifi to purchase or mix BitCoins. You will have to drive to a Library or Starbucks, or similar place with public wifi.
2nd - Credit Card Gift Cards - You can also pay with a CC Gift Card. They are available from different companies and from different retailers. Get one that is not re-loadable but that you can add an exact amount at purchase time. Most will run about $4.95 per GC. This way you pay the amount needed + $4.95. Call ahead to make sure the GC you are looking for is available where you plan to purchase. Choose a location where you don't normally go to and wear a hat/cap/shades. Make sure you grab the right GC and that you add the correct amount because once activated/purchaed you probably can't change the balance. Go to an out of place retailer and not to a mall. Gas station stores are probably your best bet.
(This part hurt my head way too much to fix)
Most of this info is part of different blog posts old & more recent that when combine can give u the best option in u'r area & case... I've included links to said Blog posts... I included a hint to the best CC Gift Card... Said CC Gift Card will either not require any online registration or the only info they will request is a random ZipCode u will need to remember... Always use Tor & TorEmail when dealing with registration of u'r choice of CC Gift Card's... If possible use a public Wifi when doing said registration... Always use bogus info when registering said CC GC.... Also always write down the info u use for said registrations... Never use u'r CC GC at more then one service or purchase... But if u do... Only pay for the same service... NEVER use the CC GC on different services or u'll create linkage... CC GC do come with FEE's for u'r balance... Usually said fees don't start until 7 months or longer... So depending on how much $$ u add to u'r card & how long u plan to hold said CC GC... Be aware of how much extra it will cost u.... U will find the best option for u by reading all the links below...
(end part too hard to fix)
- Theoretically a lot more anonymous then your Paypal, Visa, MasterCard, etc
- Much easier to purchase then BitCoins.
- Easy to purchase if you do your homework.
- You can "cook" your card by waiting 30-90 days before using it to make sure the video footage of you buying has been overwritten
- If you choose the right GC, it will probably be ready to go within 24 hours of purchase or the only info you will need to register online will be a random ZipCode. Don't forget what random Zipcode used.
- $5 per GC for possible anonymity
- Theoretically not as anonymous as BitCoins.
- Say Cheese. You're on camera for as long as the retail location keeps their security video
- The bigger retailer you go to the longer you will be on camera purchasing the GC.
- GC's can incrue fees after a certain amount of time. Read the back to find out.
- You might have to register the GC with bogus info online. (Most non-refillable cards can be registered with bogus info. Write down what you use). Use Tor & TorEmail for anything related to the GC and if possible don't do it at home. Remember TorMail and Tor is easily comprimised.
- Re-using the GC negates any anonymity, so get as close to the amount you need.
- Using a GC for something that needs an actuall shipping address negates any anonymity as well.
- $5 per GC for possible anonymity.
READ, READ, & READ & then READ some more. I think both of these payment options are worth the hassle to add a layer or two of anonymity when purchasing a VPN or other online service.
Thanks to all the SlickDeals users that help us provide this information.

Additionally, we as a service allow customers to connect with up to 5 devices and absolutely do not log or filter traffic.
Hope this answers your question!
mrtimro ( ) Sep. 2, 2013 at 10:26am
I have been very pleased so far and I have been using the service for several months now. I don't lose any speed on my connection but I only have an 18MB connection. Made my choice from the Lifehacker article and I plan on keeping the service until/if something better comes along.
MozartA ( ) Sep. 2, 2013 at 10:29am
There are many requests and discussion in Private Internet Access forum since last year about new gateway in Asia. And at one point, it said the Hong Kong gateway is coming since Sept 2012 last year. So anything going on with Asian VPN server right now?
DrRad ( ) Sep. 2, 2013 at 10:43am
Services I have tried:
PureVPN: Fast service, lots of servers, amazing client, but they have a lot of customer that run BOTS, so if you run a Google search you will be blocked if you run a search (or have to enter captcha). I would avoid.
HideMyAss: Terrible service, very slow. The client is nice and customer service is responsive, but stay away.
PrivateInternetAcccess: Very reliable, fast, and works well. Their only problem is their client is terrible (not as nice as the others).
I paid $39 not 2 weeks ago, and this deal rolls around. Ugh.
CivicMethodz ( ) Sep. 2, 2013 at 10:49am
I paid full price for the service and I would gladly do it again, it's completely worth the price. I have absolutely no complaints.
I loose nothing on my 50mbps connection on speed tests and regular downloads, although I do seem to cap out on torrents at 1.6mb/s no matter what I do. Off the VPN I hit 3.5/4 or higher. I haven't been able to figure out why yet but I am completely happy with 1.6mb on downloads.
I also did build a machine just for torrents which I was unable to use due to dramatic speed issues (1-2mbps). I am not sure if it was some kind of compatibility issue with TAP driver or what, I ended up having to use my main PC instead which gets perfect speeds.

I paid same price before on another sale, good service, but I can't seem to get OPENVPN to work with windows 8.1 update, it worked perfectly fine before, but their dumbed down client with automatic IP selection works fine. Made over a few g's with this service, good customer service, they told me that they will refund my subscription next time it renews within 7 days due to my amazon payments account being locked. Good customer service, and good service, worth the money depending whatever your using it for.
EDIT: I take back everything I said about windows 8.1, just reinstalled and everything is working perfectly fine over 300 + IP selection, but you must create the config files yourself, very easy but time consuming! BUY THIS SERVICE!

"Once you have children in your life, you can no longer close your eyes to people...who are in a similar situation," Reese Witherspoon has said. Perhaps that's why the actress and mother is a staunch supporter of another non-profit to be featured on Idol Gives Back, the Children's Defense Fund. The organization works as an advocate for disadvantaged children, and Witherspoon, who is a board member, has personally funded two of CDF's Freedom Schools. Footage of her visit to New Orleans will be screened during Idol Gives Back.

"Nice final baked texture, light and tasty. Not a recipe for cutting cookies, maybe if you put the dough in the refrigerator but it is pretty gooey without. Thanks for the glass, water and sugar treatment. Quick put together, love that."
"Delicious. I substitued one can of Ro-tel Diced tomatoes for salsa and sprinkled Fajita Seasoning on chicken, no Taco seasoning in house. Next time I'll make this all low-fat, should be easy to do and still be tastee. Thank you."
"Spicy and sweet, very delicious and easy easy to make. I did not use dried tarragon, it wasn't in my cupboard and used a small onion with jalapeno's (4). Its the best! "

I graduated from Dartmouth in 2012 with a degree in Government and Philosophy and a thesis on local community and happiness. Right now, I'm editor-in-chief of Fare Forward and employee of the Waterman Institute at Dartmouth in Hanover NH. I'm mostly interested in moral and political philosophy, as well as natural theology, Marilynne Robinson, and Wendell Berry. I like beer brewing, and I can't wink. I can only blink. It's a tragedy. Also, as my picture shows, I've visited America's oldest tobacco shop.
Emily DeBaun
I graduated from Dartmouth in June, with a Physics major and English minor, and I currently work for a healthcare consulting firm outside Boston. Intellectual interests are pretty scattered but include applied math, 20th-century lit, reformed and covenant theology, and more recently, drug epidemiology. I'm also a huge music fan! Unusual fact – I have never had any wisdom teeth.
Charles Clark
I graduated from Dartmouth in 2011. At the College, I studied Greek archaeology and English with a concentration in literary theory. I came back to my home state after college, and now I'm a second year law student at the University of Tennessee. I'm broadly interested in how we organize society and construct culture. I love Kenny Rogers and loathe musical theatre. I'm married to the Fare Forward's managing editor, Sarah Clark.
Sarah Clark
I graduated from Dartmouth in 2011 with a double major in English and Russian Area Studies. I'm originally from North Carolina but grew up largely in South America (first Bolivia, then Brazil). I currently live in Knoxville, Tennessee with my husband Charlie. I'm kind of an editing junkie: I was the managing editor of the Apologia for two years and am now the managing editor of Fare Forward. As my day job, I'm the managing editor of a local Knoxville lifestyle magazine called Cityview (to date, I'm most proud of my series on opiate/pain pill addiction in East Tennessee), and I also volunteer as an editor of Knoxville's street paper, The Amplifier. I like literature and history (particularly English and Russian), and an interesting fact is that I went to eight different schools before graduating from high school.
Andrew Schuman
I graduated from Dartmouth in 2010 with an engineering and philosophy double major. During freshman orientation I got caught up in the buzz and adrenaline of college life and felt the need to start a Christian journal. I was clearly crushing on C.S. Lewis at the time. That journal developed into Apologia which has since developed into a host of entrepreneurial ventures at Dartmouth including an institute, an alumni society, an annual conference, and a national network of undergraduate Christian journals. I work for all of these organizations in some capacity and I'm having trouble extricating myself from them, despite my best intentions to move on to that illusive real job. I love what I do and the community here. It's also worth mentioning that I've developed a love for the institutional church (who would have guessed?) and currently work as the pastoral intern for "college and youth" at a church plant in Hanover.
Jake Meador
I'm a 2010 graduate of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where I majored in English and History. I work as a blogger and social media consultant with Rent Ping Media in Lincoln, and I blog at Mere O Notes. Really, there aren't many things I find boring, but my main interests are 16th c. Europe, 20th c. Africa, the writings of Lewis and Tolkien, ecology and environmental issues, and TV. My main intellectual heroes are Lewis and Wendell Berry, though I'm also very indebted to Tolkien, Francis Schaeffer, and Chesterton. My wife Joie and I live in Lincoln's near south neighborhood with our daughter Davy. We're members of Grace Chapel, a small Presbyterian Church in America congregation that's been around for about 12 years.
Michael Hannon
I graduated Columbia in 2011 with a degree in philosophy, religion, and medieval and renaissance studies. After a stint at a law firm and one year of law school at NYU, I recalibrated just a bit, and am now living in New York and preparing to enter religious life. In addition to editingFare Forward, I work as the managing editor of the Thomistic Institute in NYC and as a contributing editor at Ethika Politika. My research interests include metaphysics, jurisprudence, and the classical natural law tradition. I love the Liturgy of the Hours and angels and the Camino de Santiago and Broadway musicals and wine and espresso and unicycles.
Matthew Dugandzic, Blog Editor
While completing my undergraduate degree in biology, I came across some books by C.S. Lewis that convinced me that Christianity was pretty awesome. So awesome, in fact, that I made the incredibly imprudent decision to pursue a PhD in Christian Ethics at The Catholic University of America. Aside from that, I edit posts for the Fare Forward blog, nerd out about languages, and pretend that pipe smoking doesn't make me look pretentious.

I graduated from Harvard in May, with a degree in Philosophy. A former militant atheist, I converted to Christianity my freshman year and became the editor-in-chief of the Harvard Ichthus. I currently work for the Veritas Forum organizing forums throughout New England and doing content development. Unusual fact: I'm a Harvard grad whose highest aspiration is to be a stay-at-home mom. Intellectual interests span most anything, with a special affinity for NT Wright that approaches the fervor of teenage girls for Justin Bieber.
Eliot Milco
I graduated from Yale in 2011 with a degree in Humanities (my concentration was in intellectual history). I was raised an evangelical. After a lot of philosophy and a bout of Kierkegaardianism I converted to Catholicism during the '09-'10 school year. At Yale I was a founding member of the Federalist Party, a political/philosophical debate society. Currently I'm in my second year of theological studies at the Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception (i.e., the Dominican House of Studies in D.C.). This involves a lot of men in white habits reading Thomas Aquinas and having sophisticated arguments about universal hylomorphism and grace. After this year, God willing, I'll have an M.A. and hopefully a teaching job. Currently working on a thesis on the comparative roles of Madness and Wisdom in Foucault and Aquinas. I like bread baking, Gustav Mahler, and movies, and I have a persistent interest in pedagogical method.

I graduated from Notre Dame this past spring, where I majored in "Great Books," formally called the Program of Liberal Studies. Right now I'm happily working in Princeton, NJ as the Managing Editor of Public Discourse, the Witherspoon Institute's online journal. My intellectual interests include political theory, especially Enlightenment political thought and the American founding, but also fiction literature's influence on our culture. Little known fact about me: I've never won any athletic awards (besides the equivalent of Most Improved), but I did win a spelling bee for my diocese in 6th grade.
Sam Buntz
I graduated from Dartmouth in 2011 with a major in religious studies, and am now studying the same at Harvard Divinity School for a masters, focusing on "religion and literature" — hence, I'm a big fan of Blake, Milton, T.S. Eliot, Bob Dylan, and others. Ideally, I'd like to continue studying for a PhD, concentrating on Blake and his religious views — either that or play guitar in the subway for cash (both seem about equally attractive — and I mean that in a positive way, without self-deprecation.), I'm a huge fan of poetry and rock/folk music, and pursue both recreationally, as a committed amateur.
Cole Carnesecca
I'm a Yale '06 graduate with a degree in history and East Asian studies who is currently burning my midnight oil at Notre Dame while pursuing a PhD in sociology. I came here by way of a number of years in a smattering of East Asian countries. I also work part time as the youth pastor at a local Chinese church and am an adjunct professor at Bethel College (IN). I am into East Asian culture – primarily focused on China – and I dig on religion in the polity, like spending time thinking about Hunter's "faithful presence", and enjoy teaching social theory. I also have a penchant for nerd-media (MMOs, anime, Sci-fi novels) and digital culture.
Margaret Blume
I graduated from Yale in 2010 also with a degree in Humanities, concentrating in the Arts in the Humanities. I taught algebra, geometry, US History, and AP Euro to middle and high schoolers from 2010-2011 at the school I attended in Pittsburgh, Aquinas Academy. I am a huge fan of the school, and Pittsburgh. Last year, I started the Masters of Theological Studies program at Notre Dame, concentrating in History of Christianity. I have always been made fun of in my family for not being a true Steelers/football fan since I would read during the games, but the Theology grad student football team won the intramural league last fall (against the undergrads!), and I caught a touchdown in the stadium. My brothers took me so seriously afterwards that one of them gave me a concussion during last year's turkey bowl. I also really love Betsy-Tacy.
Sarah Ngu
I graduated from Columbia in May 2012 with a degree in American Studies and Political Science. Now a fellow at Trinity Forum Academy, I'm living with 11 other fellows in tight community and trying to figure out why God cares about sex (male/female). I think a lot about dialogue in the public square and community-formation, interests that were borne out of my heavy involvement in the Veritas Forum and campus journalism. Lesser interests include, in no particular order, household fix-up projects, rollerblading, ambient instrumental music, introspection and Judaism.

about a week and a half ago my camera decided to die. it would turn on the then freeze and
nothing would work. i called canon and talked to technical support for way too long and they
walked me through a few different things to try to fix the problem. no luck. they told me to
send it in and they would try to fix it since it is still under warranty (thank God!)
eleven days later and still no camera. no word from canon at all actually.
of course, since i don't have my camera, i've been in the mood to shoot all. the. time.
i've been doing lots of brainstorming for fun shoots to do once i get my little baby back.
but i get so impatient.
sooo... saturday morning i made two of my lovely cousins get up at sunrise
so we could have a mini sunrise session with my canon ae-1
(that is also having its share of issues lately, but oh well!)
and i decided to share a few photos while i'm waiting to get my blog back on track!

10 Badass Beetles and the Technology They Inspire
In honor of the International Year of Biodiversity, PM takes a look at the 10 most badass beetles on the planet. They not only look cool, their nifty adaptations are inspiring products that range from autonomous vehicles to next-gen fire extinguishers.
By Adam Hadhazy
4.Whirligig Beetles
The streamlined black beetles in the family Gyrinidae have divided eyes for seeing both above and below the watery surfaces where they live. But what has really caught researchers' attention is whirligig beetles' habit of swimming in circles when threatened, hunting and performing mating displays. Unlike flexible-bodied creatures such as fish or sea lions, the beetles have fixed, unbending exoskeletons, making them more akin to a rigid-hulled vessel. "They are very much like a boat, with parts of their body above water and parts below water," says William Romey, a biologist at SUNY Potsdam. Yet whirligigs can spin remarkably tight circles using their legs or even their wings for propulsion. "The beetle is not as maneuverable as a flexible organism, but it's better than standard AUVs [autonomous underwater vehicles] out there now that don't have very good turning radiuses," says West Chester University biologist Frank Fish, who has studied whirligigs. Down the road, engineers could make dual aquatic/terrestrial vehicles based on whirligig beetles that have the advantage of legs for swimming and for walking about on land, Fish says. The way that swarms of whirligigs organize themselves could also contribute to future innovation: "[N]autical engineers, sailboat racers and perhaps naval tacticians might gain insight into their grouping patterns," Romey says.

Saratoga Wine and Food & Fall Ferrari 2011 – Marcus Samuelson Kids Cooking Seminar
Before the festival opened to all consumers, Marcus Samuelson opened the SPAC grounds early for a seminar specially designed to get children excited about cooking healthy, hearty food with an Italian heritage. Above all, Marcus noted that Italian food is known for honoring simple, fresh, and healthy ingredients, a perfect way to approach cooking for growing children.
Children and their parents were treated to a delightfully diverse sampling of Italian Cheeses that included Mozzarella di Bufala Campana, Dolomiten Konig and Grana Padano as well as a selection of amazingly flavorful Olive Oils which included DeMedici, Colonna Unfiltered Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Dell'Orto's Lemon Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Alberto Galuffo's Marracco Extra Virgin Olive Oil all served in beautiful Derruta Ceramics.
In his live cooking demonstration, Marcus showed kids that everything from pasta to pizza has roots in Italian cooking tradition, and that using fresh, easy ingredients, even they can make yummy, healthy food to share with the family. Marcus and the kids learned a little about where the dishes come from, before teaching them how to make traditional meatballs from scratch. Being Swedish, Marcus was hard pressed to reveal his favorite version of this popular dish, but did a great job representing the Italian delicacy for the kids.
Below, please find a video of Marcus with the kids:
Later, Marcus answered a few questions for the ITC about his philosophy for family cooking and how Italian flavors are a great way to incorporate healthy, full flavors in to every day family meals.

In those early years, we served approximately 500 low-income families per year through our maternal-child health hotline.
Today, we run 4 hotlines, 3 coalitions and 2 really incredible websites: one for families and one for teens. We do this for 1 reason: to build healthy families and healthy communities.
This year, we're on pace to serve approximately 250,000 individuals. That's a 500% increase in individuals served from 25 years ago. That's 20% more families per year, each year. That's not bad and it's all possible thanks to our amazing staff, board, partners and supporters.
We have continually adapted our offerings to meet community needs. Over the years, those needs have changed as the economy has changed. For instance:
- Between 2004 and 2007, we developed the ground-breaking website, ParentHelp123.org. With funding from the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and other visionary funders, we were able to create a place on-line where parents could easily find what they needed to take care of their family—something that is much easier said than done.
- Since 1994, we have taken on stewardship of 5 statewide coalitions: Immunization Action Coalition of WA (1994), Breastfeeding Coalition of WA (1996), Hepatitis B Coalition of WA (2002), WA Coalition on Medicaid Outreach (2011) and, most recently, the Anti-Hunger & Nutrition Coalition (2012).
- In 2006, Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies became WithinReach, a name that reflects our commitment to bringing essential health and nutrition resources within reach for all families and all family members.
We're proud of our first 25 years. We're looking forward to the next 25. Find out how you can be a part of it!

Skip to content, or skip to search.
Starring Dylan McDermott and Maggie Q.
Our last recap.
On this episode, we learn more about where our characters came from and how they came to be.
The Following returned to its literary roots this week with a cameo by Housing Works Bookstore.
We totally understand why Joe fails to take Micah seriously.
New Girl and The Following will also be back.
Isn't Joe just the most smug person ever?
Up until last night's episode, it didn't seem like we were supposed to be on Joe's side at all.
So if Joe's previous literary muse was Edgar Allan Poe, it appears that his new one is going to be E.L. James.
The most ridiculous part of this show is the assertion that murder is just an activity that some people like to do in their free time, like any other hobby.
One of the things that The Following has going for it is the way its concept allows for constant surprises.
You can't hide under that beard, Joe.
And there have been many.
And The Following returns with an extremely disturbing murder scene.
The Following was a bloody hit, but it wasn't enough to make up for American Idol's downward ratings spiral.
We can't close out a season without Hardy being late one last time!
Poe comes back in a big way this week.
The FBI does something competent for once.
Apparently Hardy's been getting to crime scenes a little too late and not stopping bad guys from getting away since he was a boy!
Code red, everyone. Code red.

How to get motivated
|Tue, 02-05-2013 - 7:54am
I badly need to get in shape, but I just can't seem to get or stay motivated to do anything. How do you do it?
|Tue, 02-12-2013 - 3:17pm
I wish I knew the answer, but it's something I struggle with as well. I have a hard time getting in the time needed to really exercise between work, the kids, their sports, etc. It's frustrating!
|Tue, 02-12-2013 - 3:18pm
That's a hard one to answer! I don't know that there is a magical way to find motivation. For me, and especially when I'm having a hard day and just want to throw in the towel, I remember WHY I am doing this. Why I am pushing myself. Why I am trying to live a healthier lifestyle. It isn't always easy, and there are days when I slip up more than I care to admit, but trying to remind myself of the why's seems to help.

Pueraria Mirifica: Eliminate Uncomfortable Menopause Symptoms Naturally
If you suffer from hot flashes, vaginal dryness or bladder problems, take heart. Pueraria mirifica is a new, safe and effective alternative to potentially dangerous pharmaceutical hormone replacement therapy.
Just when health practitioners and women were adjusting to the idea that hormone replacement therapy is not a good idea, a new report suggests that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is beneficial to younger women.1
It seems that one day HRT is beneficial, and the next it is a health hazard… and on and on. When the media constantly blasts headlines that induce fear and doubt, it's easy to get confused about the best way to deal with premenopausal and menopausal symptoms.
It's important to note that the contradictory reports about HRT are almost always based on the use of conjugated estrogens isolated from mare's urine, typically sold as the pharmaceutical drug Premarin. These estrogenic hormones have been shown to promote various types of cancer, blood clots and other health problems, and are not proven to be safe.
Play it safe
The studies on the herb Pueraria mirifica (PM) are impressive and encouraging to the millions of women throughout the world who are experiencing the discomforts of premenopause or menopause.
In addition to helping relieve annoying symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats, and serious symptoms such as bone loss (osteoporosis) and cardiovascular disease, Pueraria mirifica has also been shown to reduce risk of breast cancer.
The extract was used in a recent study that showed the phytoestrogens in PM inhibited the growth of breast cancer cells in-vitro.2
The role of phytoestrogens in women's health, particularly in the area of breast health, has been the subject of debate for the past decade. This study showed that there is increasing evidence that phytoestrogens may be beneficial even to women with estrogen sensitive cancers.

Details Environmental Toxin Removal!
PM offers support for women who experience symptoms ranging from hot flashes and night sweats to decreased libido and emotional distress. In a Phase III study funded by an agency of the Thai government, Pueraria mirifica demonstrated great promise in helping to offset the discomforts associated with menopause. Sixty-six premenopausal women with hot flashes, night sweats, urogenital and psychological symptoms were randomly given 50 mg of PM, or a daily dose of conjugated equine estrogen (Premarin) with or without 2.5 mg of progesterone.
At the end of the six-month study there were no significant differences in the two groups of the participants' levels of the female hormones estradiol, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The researchers concluded that PM has an estrogenic effect similar to the estrogen pharmaceutical drug (Premarin), and is able to effectively alleviate premenopausal symptoms safely without side effects.3
What are phytoestrogens?
Pueraria mirifica is a source of bioavailable phytoestrogens for premenopausal and postmenopausal women. Phytoestrogens are plant compounds that mimic and support human estrogens. Numerous studies point toward their inhibitory effect against breast and prostate cancer.4
Pueraria mirifica contains three types of phytoestrogens:
- The Miroestrol and Deoxymiroestrol group contains potent phytoestrogens unique to PM; their structural configuration is very close to the structural configuration of the female hormone estradiol-17B.
- The Isoflavonoid group includes daidzin and daidzein, and genistin and genistein, which are also found in soy, and puerarin, which is found in the kudzu plant.
- The Coumestan group includes coumestrol.
Why is Pueraria mirifica unique?
The Pueraria mirifica plant, also known as Thai kudzu, grows at a high altitude in only two provinces of Thailand—Chiang Mai and Sararaburi. It is the only known plant that has the unique phytoestrogen called miroestrol and it is especially interesting that the word "mirifica" means miracle in Latin.
PM is reputed to "make the skin smooth like a six-year-old child and allow you to live 1,000 years, while enhancing memory." (Anusarnsoondhorn, L. The Ingredient of Pueraria Tuberous Root., 1931)
Frequently asked Questions
Who should take Pueraria mitifica?
Women who are experiencing premenopausal or menopausal symptoms.
Is Pueraria mitifica safe?
Yes. No signs of toxicity or adverse effects were reported by researchers who conducted three studies on women in Thailand and in Japan.14
Women young than 18 should not take PM. Menstruating women can take low doses (under 100 mg) on a continuous basis. However, women taking doses over 100 mg should not take it during the week they are menstruating. Pregnant and nursing women should not take PM.15
What is the recommended daily dose of PM?
A study that compared dosages of 25 and 50 mg found that both dosages were similarly effective and safe in treating 52 women who had had hysterectomies, and were having menopausal symptoms.16
However, Dr. Gary Gordon recommends that women in menopause take 80 mg of PM twice a day. Most women find relief in a week or less.
You can also calculate that you need 2 mg per kg (2.2 lbs.) of body weight. For example, if you weigh 130 pounds you'd divide 130 by 2.2 = 59.09 x2 mg=118 mg. Take between one and three doses per day.15
Although Pueraria mirifica has been used in Thailand for centuries as a rejuvenating adaptogenic herb and to help manage breast cancer, it is mostly unknown
in the western world. It's particularly interesting that according to Dr. Passwater, Ph.D. (a biochemist and author of 40 books), breast cancer in the United States is more than 10 times that of the Chang Mai Province in Thailand where PM is widely consumed.6
Make sure you know what you are getting
There are more than 13 related species of Pueraria, but only Pueraria mirifica contains distinct estrogenic activity. Since the active ingredients are concentrated in the root and can only be identified at certain times of the year, and since the estrogenic effect varies based on seasonal changes,5 many of the Pueraria products being sold contain biochemicals that have been misidentified. These ingredients don't have the beneficial effects of Pueraria mirifica, so it's important to purchase the herbal supplement from a reputable company that guarantees the product contains the correct bioactive constituents in the correct ratio, according to scientific studies.
How does it work?
Phytoestrogens bind to estrogen receptors, and the phytoestrogens in PM help correct estrogen insufficiency in the body and relieve any resulting symptoms without negatively affecting other cells.
Pueraria mirifica's phytoestrogens miroestrol and deoxymiroestrol help restore vaginal tissue, and provide other numerous benefits to menopausal women.7
Researcher Sayan Sawatsri, MD has said that PM may constitute a safe, new type of treatment with natural SERMs (selective estrogen receptor modulator) properties. It has the ability to bind to specific tissues in order to maintain a balance of estrogen levels, without negatively affecting other cells. This has been shown to occur in both in vitro and in vivo models.8
According to Dr. Garry Gordon, cofounder of the American College for Advancement in Medicine (ACAM), founder/president of the International College of Advanced Longevity (ICALM), and father of EDTA chelation therapy (see Garry Gordon Discusses Chelation Therapy), explains it this way: "Miroestrol occupies the estrogen receptors more safely. If the estrogen level is high, miroestrol will compete with receptors weakening the effect of the hormones. If the estrogen level is low, miroestrol will exert its estrogenic effect of potentiation."6

Is this a south Africa site if not where can I get these products in South Africa and is it safe for some one who had a histerectomy done thank you
September 15th, 2011 at 9:04am by Lisa
Hello I´m Lisa from Germany
I´ve been searching for an natural way to enhance my breast for a half year and I read a lot of stuff about Pueraria Mirifica Herb and that its possible to increase the breast size quickly and permanently until I found a discussion forum where some young ladies told that pueraria mirifica caused tumors, cysts and has lead to excrescences.
Now my question is if there is way to prevent such sight effects while using breast cremes containing Pueraria Mirifica, because there are still many girls out there who have breast deformaties or even girls whose breasts never grew. The reason I´m writing is that I want to help other women to feel better and to gain more self-confidence!!!
I´m looking forward to receive more e-mails from you.
Best regards.

Do you have any suggestions? Amazon and Ebay seems to be filled with the companies touting it as a breast enhancement product with dubious claims.

Hi again! To all my friends who were concerned about me during the time na cool off kami ni Vann, thank you very much. But we aren't LQ na. We are already QL! :DTo those who don't know the story: Vann and I fought coz he couldn't have Valentine's dinner with me. He said he had to do some hosting thing in Singapore. I got really pissed. Hello, this is Valentine's we are talking about! So I had that fling with Takeshi. I admit, I just used Takeshi for his body. Our relationship was purely carnal, but that's ok with Takesh. I told him that when we started doing um... you know. Anyway, Vann went crazy after that. He started obsessing about me and the magazine I was in a few months ago.Maxim: the magazine I modelled for.He kept writing me love notes about how he looks at the magazine when he is bored and lonely, and how it "really, really perks him up when he is feeling down". Vanness, contemplating my ass.To Vann, I'm so sorry, baby. Please forgive me. It's so hard for me not to get jealous coz of your work. I don't like sharing you with all your stupid fans who fantasize that you are their boyfriend. I know it's not your fault so I will try to be more understanding. I'm so sorry I hurt you.
