Mainly as a bit of fun, I thought it would be interesting to sort some of our SPAM into distinct groups and make some wordclouds, or more specifically SPAMclouds from the content of the spam.
Attached is the cloud for SPAM attempting to recruit Money Mules.

At the CISSE 2009 conference, we held a workshop on Security Visualization, during which we identified a number of research problems associated with security visualization. You can find them listed below. Tomorrow, we will identify use-cases for security visualization. If you have any use-cases that you want us to consider, comment on here!
I'm trying to use afterglow 1.5 on a gentoo system and running into an issue that I hope you can help me figure out.
When I read a dump file into tcpdump2csv.pl, using the switches documented, I get absolutely no output. If I turn on debug, I get my tcpdump lines, preceded by "ERROR:" as below:
ERROR: 2009-05-04 18:37:28.332949 In ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 93: (tos 0x0, ttl 61, id 0, offset 0, flags [DF], proto UDP (17), length 77)
ERROR: 184.108.40.206.53 > 184.108.40.206.56383: 14710 1/0/0 mail.lab.spb.ru. A 18.104.22.168 (49)
If I run with tcpdump -ttnnlr, I get a little closer to the lines in your documentation, in that the timestamp is on the same line as the capture info:
ERROR: 1241462458.413252 In ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 93: 22.214.171.124.53 > 188.8.131.52.43954: 7712 1/0/0 A 184.108.40.206 (49)
There is no description of what the error is, and still no CSV output is appearing.
If it makes a difference, I am running with tcpdump 4.0. If I can add an ebuild for afterglow 2.0 for the gentoo world, I will give that a try and see if I get a little further.
The 6th International Workshop on Visualization for Cyber Security (VizSec) will be held October 11, 2009 in Atlantic City, NJ, USA in conjunction with VisWeek 2009.
The deadline for full papers (12 pages) is May 8, 2009. The deadline for short papers (6 pages) is May 22, 2009.
Please see the web site for formatting instructions, templates and information on how to submit your paper.
Take a look at my site www.manntechcomputersinc.com We have developed a visualization tool for pix/asa and snort. It maps ip to geographical locations countries (source or destination), anonymous proxies , sat providers, regions etc. We repsent countries by flags and provide users to add their own icons. I'd be interested to hear what people think....
The chart represent several hours of conficker's P2P Udp activity, it relates destination address with dest UDP used.
This is my smart analysis about the first 20days of April 2009 ccTLD (country code top level domain) generated by the algorithm used by worm for pseudo random domain name generation.
The following chart show the frequency for each ccTLD. As you can see there is a sort of attractor for some ccTLD such as AG, BO, LC, HN, PE, and TW. A singular point is for DJ ccTLD domain. For more information http://extraexploit.blogspot.com. This kind of analysis I think that is usefull for get evidence as indicator of conficker.c activities inside your corporate network.
Feedback are well come.
SecViz has a mailinglist!
The charter for the list is the same as for the SecViz Web site: share, discuss, challenge, and learn about security visualization. The mailinglist should help to have more in-depth discussions and get quicker responses on specific topics. I am looking forward to some good discussions around visualization applications, visualization methods, use-cases, etc. Fire away!
Note that the list keeps a public archive!
VizSec 2009
Workshop on Visualization for Cyber Security
October 11, 2009 / Atlantic City, NJ USA
The 6th International Workshop on Visualization for Cyber Security is a forum that brings together researchers and practitioners in information visualization and security to address the specific needs of the cyber security community through new and insightful visualization techniques. Co-located this year with IEEE InfoVis/Vis/VAST, VizSec will continue to provide opportunities for the two communities to collaborate and share insights into providing solutions for security needs through visualization approaches. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE and archived in the IEEE Digital Library. The authors of the best papers will be invited to extend and revise their paper for journal publication in a special issue of Information Visualization.
This year our focus is on advancing Visualization for Cyber Security as a scientific discipline. While art, engineering, and intuitions regarding the human element will always remain important if we are to obtain useful cyber security visualizations, advances in the scientific practice of research are needed. The scientific aspects of visualization for cyber security draw both on empirical observation (similar to many natural and social sciences) and formal science (such as the formal derivations in mathematics). Barriers confronting current researchers include concerns about available data, lack of a common agreement about what constitutes sound experimental design, the difficulties of measuring the relative effectiveness of security visualizations in practice, and the lack of a common understanding of user requirements. While many researchers are making progress in these and other critical areas, much work yet remains.
What To Submit
Papers offering novel contributions in security visualization are solicited. Papers may present technique, applications, practical experience, theory, or experiments and evaluations. Papers are encouraged on technologies and methods that have been demonstrated to be useful for improving information systems security and that address lessons from actual application. We encourage papers that report results on visualization techniques and systems in solving all aspects of cyber security problems, including how visualization applies to:
*Different aspects of security: software, networks and log files (e.g., Internet routing, packet traces and network flows, intrusion detection alerts, attack graphs, application security, etc.)
*Application of visualization techniques in formalizing, defining and analyzing security policies
*Forensic analysis, correlating events, cyber-defense task analysis
*Computer network defense training and offensive information operations
*Building rules, feature selection, and detecting anomalous activity
*Software, software security, and viruses
*Deployment and field testing of VizSec systems
*Evaluation and user testing of VizSec systems
*User and design requirements for VizSec systems
*Lessons learned from development and deployment of VizSec systems
*"Field Research" Best Practices
*Interaction with domain experts – best practices, lessons learned
*Differentiating the needs of different domains and time frames
*Best practices for obtaining and sharing potentially sensitive data for purposes of visualization and assessment, including how to approach personal privacy, regulatory, and organizational issues
*Metrics and measurements (e.g., criteria for the relative effectiveness of cyber visualizations)
*Handling large datasets, scalability issues, and providing real time or near-real time visualizations
Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE and made available through the IEEE Digital Library.
Paper Format:
Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. All submissions should be appropriately anonymized (i.e., papers should not contain author names or affiliations, or obvious citations). Submissions are to be made to the submission web site at http://www.vizsec.org/vizsec2009/submit. Only pdf files will be accepted. Papers should be formatted using the IEEE templates (see http://www.vizsec.org/vizsec2009/ for instructions).
*Full papers should be at most 12 pages, including the bibliography and appendices.
*Short papers should be at most 6 pages, including the bibliography and appendices.
Committee members are not required to read the appendices, and so the paper should be intelligible without them. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be presented at the conference.
Papers must be received by the deadline of April 24, 2009, for long papers and May 22, 2009, for short papers.
Journal Special Issue
The authors of the best papers from the accepted program will be invited to extend and revise their paper for a special issue of Information Visualization (IVS), an international, peer-reviewed journal publishing articles on fundamental research and applications of information visualization. These papers will be chosen by the program committee.
Paper Award
There will be an award for the best paper from the accepted program. The best paper award will be given to the paper judged to have the highest overall quality. A key element of the best paper selection process will be whether the results are believed to be repeatable by other scientists based on the algorithms and data provided in the paper. This award will be chosen by the program committee.
A limited number of scholarships will be available for students and first-year faculty who have had papers accepted to VizSec.

I've been frustrated with large-scale traffic analysis tools for a long time. I recently did some DNS traffic analysis to study possibilities for detecting DNS tunnels.
I wrote up my traffic analysis thoughts in a study of dns. The result of that paper was thresholds of typical DNS hostname request lengths, at least for my traffic. Not satisfied with a static threshold, I built a visualization for the traffic using processing. The writeup of the visualization is available in part ii.
A picture is attached of dns hostname requests when ssh'ing over dns using dns2tcp. The code is available as well; you can visualize your own captures or live traffic off the wire.

Very easy DIY for your ugly buffet! Craigslist is a wonderful wonderful WONDERFUL place! I got this tired ol' wine cabinet/buffet for $15! I love it's detailing on the doors! I HAD to have it! The top opens and folds over for double the serving space. LOVE THAT!!! BUT, it couldn't come in until it was made presentable {for our home}. So, it's been sitting in our garage for quite awhile as I tried to figure out how I wanted it to look after painting it. Well, the day came when I just said 'screw it', I'm just going to SPRAY PAINT it! ********* Here's what I did to it: I spray painted the edges and detail with black spray paint and let it dry. Then I went over it completely … [Read more...]
Buffet Makeover with Spray Paint
Getting Ready for a Craft Show
What a busy couple of weeks. I was recently asked to attend the Jazz on 2nd Festival in Niwot to sell my wares. Not planning on selling at any shows during the summer, I wasn't, let's say, prepared. So, I've been a bit busy trying to get everything ready and together making sure I have enough of everything. I've been trying to think of how I'm going to set up my booth so it's not just a lonely looking table. I want it to be interesting and inviting and colorful. However, I don't want to spend a lot of money on it {because everything I do is on a budget, you know how it is} So, I've been checking out my favorite places, Craigslist and Goodwill. I got these plantation shutters for FREE … [Read more...]
Tutorial Tuesday: Mod Podge and Maps … and a dresser!
So our youngest is getting the age to where he can dress himself. The Problem: The dresser he has is hard to open and close the drawers {even for me sometimes}. The Solution: Buy dresser off of Craigslist for $20 and paint it just for him. So, I'm sure you've been dying to learn how to put maps on a dresser, right? {well, you can use any paper} Well, here's a little tutorial for ya! Scuff it up a bit Here are the drawers scuffed up and ready to go {I didn't bother to prime it. You can certainly prime it though} Spray paint the body thoroughly and the drawers just on the edges and anywhere where you're not going to cover with the maps Get a map book Tear out some maps. … [Read more...]
What we did this weekend
photo credit We went to see Rango! What a fun movie!!! Rango, the lizard, is really cute and the owls are funny. There were a couple of parts where I thought the boys probably shouldn't be watching {hence the PG rating}, there were only a few sentences/words that were a bit 'advanced' for a 3 and 5 year old. photo credit We also went to watch a St Baldricks event! Watching the men have their heads shaved, the celtic dancers, and of course the BAG PIPES!!!! Oh, how I LOVE LOVE LOVE bag pipes {we had them at our wedding ... on a CD ... LOL} There were jumpy tents and a fire truck was there ... what little boy isn't thrilled about fire trucks??! Not many. I also found a … [Read more...]
Yet another Craigslist find!!!
A little while ago, I posted my retro chair make over that I got for $5 off of Craigslist. I mentioned that I also got some folk art prints from the same lady who was moving. I got them for $5 each! They aren't my normal taste in art, but I thought they were funky and fun for the kids' playroom downstairs. It's got a train in one of them {the boys are ga ga for trains these days}. How fitting!! {sorry about the picture quality, just a funny angle and not the greatest light} And the other has some cute houses and buildings {that I was more drawn to} I just adore the apple trees too!!! … [Read more...]
Craigslist, and why I shop it
I was just checking around Craigslist {in the free catagory, that's where I always go first} and this beauty was right there! FREE!!!! Oh, I might just have to take a trip tomorrow ... not, it's snowing too much just wanted to share to show 'you never know' what's out there until you look! Man, I just wish is was within 10 miles of my house! Can you imagine what I could do with this gem!!! xo Tara … [Read more...]
Side table makeover
This puppy was FREE! Yup, F.R.E.E!!!! I got it and another piece off of Craigslist for free! It does not get better than that! The lady didn't want to take it to the dump and pay to get rid of it, so I was all too happy to take the pieces off her hands! So, again, I scuffed it up a bit with some fine-ish grit sandpaper. Primed it and painted it with some oops paint. I tried a new thing for me with this piece though! I Mod-Podged it this time. I had never ventured this way with furniture in the past, but I think it turned out pretty good. I just used some scrapbooking paper I had on hand and slapped it on there ... so it's not perfect, but I like it. It adds color and … [Read more...]
Furniture Makeover – Craigslist $25 find
So, I know I'm mostly a {sewer/seamstress} to all of you, however, there are few other things that I can do ... like refinish furniture. So, I thought I'd share some of the pieces I've finished in the last few months with you over a course of a few days... A personal goal I set for myself, well, for our home is to furnish the rest of it with Craigslist items or Goodwill purchases. We moved from a smaller home to a home over double it's size, so we have a few rooms to fill. Well, our 'formal dining room' needed some furniture to fill it, so I found this gem on Craigslist for $25!!!!!!!! You read right, TWENTY FIVE BIG ONES!!! It even has a light in it ... THAT WORKS!!!!! I love how it … [Read more...]

The Guardian Says 100 well-known authors from 54 countries voted for the \"most meaningful book of all time\" in a poll organised by editors at the Norwegian Book Clubs in Oslo.
Living writers were few and far between . Notable examples were Doris Lessing - whose Golden Notebook featured - and Salman Rushdie, Chinua Achebe and Toni Morrison.

Edwardo let us know about This Story from The Washington Post on Bookscan.
A similar service called Booktrack has already launched in Australia, and has changed the best seller lists. They point out Newspaper bestseller lists have long been a sore point, rife with charges of bias and skulduggery. No American newspapers have yet adopted its data for their bestseller lists, and, Bookscan currently only has 65 percent of national bookstores online, so its data still aren\'t complete.
Be sure to check out the discussion on Slashdot as well.
Someone passed over This BBC Story on some fancy new tags that contain a silicon chip which can carry a large amount of information and an antenna able to transmit that information to a reading device.
As well as combining a security tag and virtual barcode in one piece of technology, this makes it possible for a book to \"remember\" each transaction, from publisher to wholesaler, retailer to customer and (if the book is sold second-hand) beyond. Similarly, books borrowed from libraries could retain a record of every reader to have perused their pages.
They say the tags would give each book a unique serial number, as well as storing other details such as where it was shipped from and when.
\"It\'s like putting a licence plate on every book, and it means we\'d be able to track the movements of each and every title published.\"
Students at the Washington School in Kansas have sent their principal to the roof. Literally.

Here\'s A Story on how Amazon is encouraging people who bought books on Amazon to resell them.
You may recall the Authors Guild protested Amazon\'s recycling program by asking its 8,200 members to remove links to Amazon from their Web sites. The author of this story sold his first book in less than four hours.
I\'m not sure what to make of this.
The article, Do libraries need lie detectors? said \"Arming America\" is a lie, and now, thanks to the \"collapse of scholarship\", and poor collection development, people everywhere will be reading this bad book.

Genie Tyburski passed along Sometimes Articles Lie Too, from over at The Virtual Chase
by Milt Shook, as a follow up, that says The Independence Institute (The place that was responsible for that first article) is a conservative think tank, and is also pro-gun. He thinks this entire controversy was created by the NRA and its ilk, in an attempt to discredit a fine historical work.

Bob Cox alerted us to This Alternet Story on \"Harmful to Minors: The Perils of Protecting Children from Sex\" says the media is responding to what can only be called the usual suspects -- a posse of moral conservatives and practitioners of discredited therapy who\'ve been wreaking havoc lately on scientific research and academic freedom.
The story is written by Debbie Nathan, who was on was on the committee the University of Minnesota Press asked to review \"Harmful to Minors\" suitability for publication.

Sept. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Great Portland Estates Plc and BP Pension Fund agreed to buy the headquarters of Independent Television News in central London for 133 million pounds ($210 million).
The Great Ropemaker Partnership joint venture will acquire 200 and 214 Gray's Inn Road from Beacon Capital Partners LLC, a Boston-based real-estate investment company, according to a statement today. The properties generate a combined annual rent of 8.9 million pounds.
Improved rail links to the area between the West End and the City of London financial district from the Crossrail project and the Thameslink railway upgrade will help lift rents and property values in coming years, said Ben Chambers, Great Portland's investment director.
Separately, Great Portland agreed to buy a 2.3-acre (0.9 hectare) site near Oxford Street from Royal Mail Group Ltd. for 120 million pounds. The site is near the Tottenham Court Road subway station, which is being upgraded for the future Crossrail service linking Heathrow Airport to east London.
Royal Mail will lease back the site until June 2013, then vacate it to allow its redevelopment into a mix of shops, apartments and offices. The state-owned postal service company will receive a share of future profits from the development under the terms of the sale, according to a statement.
Great Portland specializes in developing and trading buildings in central London, where a shortage of new office space is driving up rents and adding to property values. Great Portland in July reported that its real estate appreciated by 3.8 percent the fiscal first quarter on demand from international investors.

I remembered last night as I got ready for bed that Saturday is my monthly "Massage". It's very unusual that I forget about this treat, but it completely slipped my mind. Bonus...today I get to go and have my massage!
When I get home again, then I will start the laundry and rearrange my list of things I planned to do for today.
I had a wonderful visit with Sharon and baby Jaidyn last night. Julie was out with her relatives, so the "grandmas' got to babysit and visit. It will be sad to see them depart on Sunday to head back home, but what a lovely time of visiting we have had.
Tonight, Garry and I are going over to the girls place for supper. Yay! Kaeli phoned yesterday and wanted to know if I would take her to Costco shopping today. It should be a fun day.
My Positives:
Wonderful visit with Julie, Jaidyn and Sharon.
Dinner at the girl's place this evening.
Warm and sunshine forecast for this weekend.
Massage day.
Spring is definitely in the air...while reading the local paper, I noticed dozens of "garage sales" listed already *grin*
Snow banks are retreating ....we can actually see ground in several places now!
Only 8 more working days before my holidays begin.
Looking forward to having the stretch of time to finish some on going projects in the house. Our new flooring for the living room and dining area should arrive during our time off work...we might even be able to get it all installed *grin*
Have a wonderful Silly Saturday...enjoy the sound of laughter and if laughter is a stretch for you today...try smiling at yourself in the mirror and see if it doesn't boost your spirits!
What a wonderful day Friday is, even the sound of the word Friday makes me happy.
Today is our friend Marla's surgery and yesterday was our friend Shirl's surgery. Prayers for quick healing for both of them are winging their way to them. What a blessing that we live in a part of the world where medical attention is provided.
We are forecasted for a lovely warm weekend...plus 8 to plus 10, woo hoo. The snow is being challenged and it's beginning to lose it's grip on the land. I'm more and more hopeful that I'll be planting into my garden at the end of May.
My Positives:
It's Friday!
We'll see Julie, Jaidyn and Sharon once again this weekend.
Quin is back in town from his work.
Hoping to get a walk in during my lunch break today.
Walking planned on my weekend, just being able to get outside once again is a blessing.
A very blessed life.
Hope your have a wonderful Friday. Fill your day with great choices.
A much better day today. I ended up going to work yesterday mornng but returnng home again a couple of hours later. Headed back to bed and some sleep. Woke up this morning feeling much better. Headache is under control now and with carefulness, I should be good for the day.
I did manage to also get the income taxes completed and netfiled late yesterday...yay, all done for another year. Made the decision to invest in the Quicken books software program. I was able to download it from the website and will spend this weekend, learning the ins and outs about it and hopefully it will make things even easier for next year income tax time.
Gas prices took a major jump here yesterday. Prices at the pump jumped 9 cents a litre. I find it amazing that something that is produced in our own country (our own province) is so expensive. But apparently it is priced according to "world" markets. I will be doing more planning and consolidating of my vehicle useage. Once it gets light outside in the mornings when I go to work, I might even plan some walking to work. It would be about an hour walking each way, so we will see how that goes.
My positives:
Income taxes are done for another year.
Headache is now in the controlled level.
It's Thursday, so almost the weekend.
Sunshine forecasted for the rest of the week....YAY!
Bought the Quicken Books software, now I can do everything on the computer with regards to finances.
Weather is warmer and sidewalks are cleared...I can start walking outdoors once again.
Friends, family and God, all who contribute to a wonderful life.
Have an awesome day, enjoy the opportunities that come your way to be the best you can be.
I'm on rocky ground this morning. I woke up this morning at just after 2am with a whopper of a headache. I had been dealing with a mild one all day yesterday and had hoped that by going to bed and sleeping I could avoid taking any medication. Nope! Took so medicine and now I'm dealing with the side effects of that. Headache has subsided to a tolerable level, but I still need to get through my work day. Still debating on calling in and taking the day off work.
I am sure hoping that the MRI that is scheduled for me for next week can determine what is causing these crazy headaches.
So despite starting off my blog on a not so positive note, I will end it with some positives. (Yep, there are always positives in life)
A great meal time and visit with Garry's brother last night.
It was warm enough out for Garry to use the BBQ, he and Brian had steak, and I had grilled veggies.
Warm weather in the forecast for all week....yay, more snow melting.
It's looking more promising that I will be able to transplant my little seedling right into the garden rather than into pots. (still aways off, but the end of May will be here soon)
I have holidays coming up starting April 21 and I don't have to go back to work until May 9th.
Life is filled with blessings especially when you take the time to look for them.
Have a great day,
Yesterday's daily challenge was to set one goal for the day and get it done. Well, I set my goal and I almost got it done. It's income tax time and after coming home from work and getting down to doing the taxes, I can say that I'm almost finished. I'm missing two pieces of information in order to complete Garry's. His is the one that takes me so much time and stresses me out the most. There are so many little things that I need to remember and compile. Hopefully today I can say they are finally finished for another year.
I'm going to invest in the Quicken software program and see if that helps me to keep things organized. I want to be able to do it soon, as we are already 4 months into the new year, which means I have lots of entries to make to catch up.
It was a beautiful day out yesterday, the morning started off overcast, but by mid afternoon the sun was shining and the snow was melting. YAY! I know it's spring now also, cause the geese are all starting to come back. I'll have to take some more pictures this week on the progress of the snow melting....yay soon walking on the sidewalks will be safe to do...no more ice.
My positives:
Income taxes are almost done.
Garry's brother will be here for overnight today.
Snow melting and some lawn beginnng to make it's appearance along the edges of the driveway.
My seedlings are doing great, I have to get some more planted in little starter pots. I have some that need to be started about 4 weeks before they can be planted outdoors. Usually the May long weekend is when planting can occur outdoors, but that is hard to say this year with all the snow that we have still.
God, who helps me each day...especially when I remember to ask Him.
Have a wonderful day,

Stewart and Lindsay both love skiing and Stewart enjoys a round of golf with his Dad - time permitting. Our family has loved Sun Peaks since we first discovered it 17 years ago while the resort was in its infant stage. We have loved watching the everchanging growth of this budding resort and look forward to the development of the new East Village only a Stone's Throw away.
Sun Peaks is heavenly!

Arctic Sea Ice Blog commenters come up with all kinds of ways to make sense of or visualize what's going on with the ice pack, tweaking satellite data, 'declouding' images or compiling animations. In this blog post I want to show a couple of those efforts.
Commenter Danp opened a thread on the ASIF a couple of days ago, showing a cleaned up compilation he made of LANCE-MODIS satellite images (like commenter dabize did last year). The result looks very nice indeed, giving us a clear view of the holes on the Atlantic side of the Arctic, near the North Pole:
You can go to Danp's Google Drive image and zoom in up to a 500m resolution.
Commenter A-Team, of course, keeps rocking hard with his infinite ways of tweaking images to squeeze info out of them. His latest creations can be admired in the recent Nares blog post, but here's one interesting example:

washing advice for not-full-loads?
Hi mamas, we are finally over our recent rash issues and are getting out of the sposies (so big thank you's to everyone who provided advice, encouragement, etc)! We are easing back into cloth so that 1, we can try out CJ's and magic stick and pick one for DCP and 2, convince DCP that the cloth is not (is no longer) the issue and that she can stop with the sposies.
I have started with night diapers and at-home-after-daycare diapers. This weekend it will be all cloth and hopefully from there onward. My question is, right now we have exactly 6 dirties, the oldest was removed from DD on Tuesday AM. So I was planning to wash tonight... but only 6 diapers?!
I was going to add a wet towel to the load as I hear that will "trick" my HE FL into thinking there is a full load. Any other advice?
OT I also have two microfiber gym towels that I need to strip... I wouldn't know the first thing about mf stinkies or stripping if it wasn't for CD, lol!
DH so I can and DD can
No woman has ever shot a man while he was washing the dishes
happy family

Re: washing advice for not-full-loads?
I'm in the exact same situation although my dcp won't do cloth at all. So my weektime diapers don't add up that quickly...usually just one after I pick ds up and his nighttime diaper. 2 a day doesn't add up that quickly!
I've washed the small load with 3 or 4 towels and it did okay...but I'm sure there's a better solution!

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Re: washing advice for not-full-loads?
Not a popular opinion here but I would just throw in towels or any other laundry you have ready to be washed - only thing I probably wouldn't put in would be our unpaper towels - anything else is fair game to me.
If I'm not convinced the clothing/towels would come out clean then my washer obviously isn't doing a good enough job to be washing cloth in the first place. I did this all the time with dd especially when she was pl-ing.
Before we started with cloth if dd had a blow out (read: at least twice a day for the first while) we peeled the darn onesie over her head (sometimes rinsed it) & just tossed it in the machine with everything else, why would I do any different with diapers?

New Non-Invasive Treatment for Atrial Fibrillation Safer, More Effective
Updated: Thursday, March 27 2014, 09:03 AM EDT
Millions of people are living with atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat that can lead to stroke or heart attack. Treating the dangerous condition usually means going under the knife --- until now.
A new groundbreaking procedure can have patients back home the same day.
Baltimore's Sinai is one of three hospitals in the country offering a new treatment called Cryoablation. Unlike traditional treatments Cryoablation is non-invasive, requiring only a small puncture site for the catheter.
"We can inflate a balloon inside the heart which touches all the signals at once and freezes them, gets rid of the trigger," Sinai's Dr. Jeffrey Banker explained. "It makes the procedure much quicker, much safer."
Patients can be back at home the same day and back at work a day later. While the procedure is faster and safer, it's also proven to be more effective, with a 73% success rate. It's a major improvement over traditional drug therapies, which fail for about half of all a-fib patients.
