The only game I noticed opposing fans at all was one game this past year, Montreal, and even that game I bet there were no more that 100 - 150 fans.
I hear ya Jaded.
You remember the late 70's?? There must have been say 1k Flyer fans that came in buses, for each of their games here. All siting together. Sounded like 5k.
I remember one game at the Civic arena, Flyers ended up scoring 10 goals. And probably after the 5th goal, the Flyer fans were doing the chant of, "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, WE WANT 6". All the way up to 10 goals by the end of the game. It was great for them, haha, incredibly awful as a young Pen's fan.

In Sum
I have two columns, name and name_searchable. I'd like to search in these columns (which have millions of rows) and return the results in accordance with their match rate. I have two important criteria; the search should be efficient and fast. How can I achieve this?
In Details
I am planning to have a table with millions of rows. So basically, I created a dump table just to test the query with a million rows. The table is using the
MyISAM storage engine, it's index and primary key is the id number. The search I'd like to make is concerned with the name field which is a
varchar column. Now, based on a query, I'd like to return all results that match partly or in whole with the query. So when a user searches for 'björn borg' I'd like to return both:
- björn borg
- björn borgus
- bjorn borg (notice the o)
and so on...
The important factor here is that the
= operator should always return higher ranked than the
LIKE operator. Therefore, 'björn borg' should always come before 'bjorn borgus'.
Lately, I asked the question on how to return results in diacritics insensitive mode, but unfortunately I could not make it work. Therefore, I've created another column along the name column which stores the name in only English characters. So we have the
name and
name_searchable field.
Well, I tried the whole thing with a stored procedure, but apparently it's really slow when compared to normal queries. Therefore, I'd like know whether I can order the results in accordance with which where clause they match. In other words:
SELECT * FROM myUsers WHERE name = 'björn borg' OR name_searchable = 'bjorn borg' OR name LIKE '%björn borg%' OR name_searchable LIKE '%bjorn borg%';
So basically, the idea is to give a score point to each condition differently. I mean, while name = 'björn borg' should have the rank, say, 5, name_searchable LIKE '%bjorn borg%' should have 2 (and the second one 4 points, the third one 3 points...) How can I make this work using MySql? (Efficiency and Speed are important factors to me)

Taj Gibson throws it down all over Anthony Tolliver (VIDEO)
Jan 15, 2013, 12:37 AM EDT
While the Bulls miss Derrick Rose as the shot creator for everyone in their offense, they still have some real athletes who can score. Especially if they get to the rim.
For example, there is Taj Gibson, who is very athletic and can throw it down with the best of them. But don't take my word for it, ask the Hawks' Anthony Tolliver.
This was easily your dunk of the night. Not that the Bulls needed a lot of points to beat a Hawks team that scored 5 points in the second quarter, 20 in the first half and a high-school like 58 for the game.

What Satisfied Customers Are Saying
Good Quality for the price
By Kevin from Chelsea, MI on 3/20/2015
This is a great set for the price. We are a fan of kidKraft products. It's holding up well after a few months and still looks like new and should last a long time.
Very Happy
By Colette from LakeMary,FL on 3/18/2015
I ordered this table for my 4 & 6 year old as they had out grown the square table they'd used for years. The rectangle shape allows for both to work without being on top of each other. The cubbies are on all four sides making it easy to store pens & papers with less mess. I received this table while my husband was out of town and put it together myself... I followed the instructions to a T and it was very easy to assemble. The quality is what I was expecting for the cost and would recommend this table set to anyone looking for a kid table set.
By Janice from Farmingdale,NY on 3/10/2015
I love this table and chairs set! It is the perfect addition to my daughter and son's shared nursery. The kids really enjoy playing at it and the quality is truly top notch.
Great hanging power!
By gkay13 from Salt Lake City, UT, United States on 2/25/2015
We bought these to hang a curtain to block the airflow from our front door and they have worked great, even when our dog winds them up in a circle. Still hanging after 2 years of use!
Amazing for the price!
By JBryan from Los Angeles, CA on 2/14/2015
I was looking at several tables at other retailers and this was by far the best deal I found. High quality, very cute and a great size for my 6 year old. There is still room for her to grow into it. There is one screw in each chair that will not screw in completely, otherwise very easy to assemble, no help needed.

Court Hearing Set in OSU Sexual Battery Case
By AP
STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — A court hearing is planned in Payne County for an Oklahoma State University student charged with sexual battery.
The hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. Monday in Stillwater for Nathan Cochran, who has pleaded not guilty to three counts of sexual battery. Prosecutors allege that Cochran molested or attempted to molest two male students while they slept in a dorm room.
OSU has drawn criticism for not immediately reporting the alleged incidents when they first came to light in November. Police say they didn't learn of the case until Dec. 6 when contacted for comment by the campus newspaper.
A judge is expected to schedule a preliminary hearing at Monday's court proceedings.

Medicaid Outpatient Drugs:
Estimated 2007 Federal Upper Limits for Reimbursement Compared with Retail Pharmacy Acquisition Costs
GAO-07-239R: Published: Dec 22, 2006. Publicly Released: Jan 22, 2007.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7043
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Spending on outpatient prescription drugs in Medicaid--the joint federal-state program that finances medical services for certain low-income adults and children--has accounted for a substantial and growing share of Medicaid expenditures. Medicaid's total spending on outpatient prescription drugs grew from $4.6 billion in fiscal year 1990 to $40 billion in fiscal year 2004--or from 7.0 to 14.2 percent of Medicaid's total expenditures for medical care. State Medicaid programs do not directly purchase prescription drugs; instead, they reimburse retail pharmacies for covered outpatient prescription drugs dispensed to Medicaid beneficiaries. For some outpatient multiple-source prescription drugs, state Medicaid programs may only receive federal matching funds for reimbursements up to a maximum amount known as a federal upper limit (FUL). Required by law as a cost-containment strategy, FULs are calculated as 150 percent of the lowest price for a drug, from among the prices published nationally in three drug pricing compendia. State Medicaid programs have the authority to determine their own reimbursements to retail pharmacies6 for covered outpatient multiple-source prescription drugs, as long as those reimbursements do not exceed established FULs in the aggregate. The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA) included provisions that changed the methodology for calculating FULs. Beginning January 1, 2007, a drug's FUL will be based on the average manufacturer price (AMP). The Congressional Budget Office estimated that when implemented, AMP-based FULs could reduce total Medicaid spending for prescription drugs by $3.6 billion from 2007 to 2010 and by about $11.8 billion from 2007 to 2015. Though representing a potential cost saving measure for Medicaid, the change in FUL calculation methodology--using AMP instead of the lowest published price--has raised concerns among retail pharmacies serving Medicaid beneficiaries. Because of interest in the potential effects of the AMP-based FULs on retail pharmacies, information was requested on how AMP-based FULs will compare with retail pharmacy acquisition costs. GAO estimated what the AMP-based FULs would have been if they had applied in 2006 and compared them with average retail pharmacy acquisition costs from 2006 for frequently used and high expenditure multiple-source outpatient prescription drugs in Medicaid.
The AMP-based FULs we estimated using AMP data from first quarter 2006 were lower than average retail pharmacy acquisition costs from the same period for 59 of the 77 drugs in our sample. For our entire sample of 77 multiple-source outpatient prescription drugs, we found that these estimated AMP-based FULs were, on average, 36 percent lower than average retail pharmacy acquisition costs for the first quarter of 2006. The extent to which the AMP-based FULs were lower than average retail pharmacy acquisition costs differed for high expenditure drugs compared with the frequently used drugs and the drugs that overlapped both categories. Though the difference between AMP-based FULs and retail pharmacy acquisition costs was in some cases sizable, the extent of this difference may change because of several factors, including the quarter-to-quarter variation in AMPs used to set FULs as well as the presence of rebates that retail pharmacies may obtain from drug manufacturers and wholesalers. To the extent that the utilization of multiple-source outpatient prescription drugs by retail pharmacies remains similar in 2007 and later to the utilization patterns captured in our sample of drugs for the first quarter of 2006, the gap between estimated first quarter 2006 AMP-based FULs and pharmacy acquisition costs could persist, once the AMP-based FULs are implemented in 2007. In reviewing a draft of this report, CMS disagreed with our finding that the AMP-based FULs were lower than the average retail pharmacy acquisition costs for most of the 77 drugs in our sample. In particular, CMS had significant concerns with our estimates of both pharmacy acquisition costs and AMP-based FULs and stated that our findings had not accounted for changes in these two variables that are likely to take place after DRA provisions are implemented in January 2007. In the draft report we identified the limitations of the data sources used in the estimates and acknowledged that the difference between retail pharmacy acquisition costs and AMP-based FULs could change following implementation of DRA provisions in 2007. Only after AMP-based FULs are implemented in 2007 will there be an opportunity to determine the extent to which these FULs facilitate both cost-effective Medicaid drug expenditures and adequate reimbursement for retail pharmacies.

Eyes inspire more efficient solar cell architecture
Solar cells don't at first glance have any relation to a tiny structure in the eye that makes our central vision sharp, but that tiny structure – called the fovea centralis – may be the key to a huge boost in solar cell efficiency. A team of scientists at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin and the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light took the underlying mechanisms that guide the fovea and adapted them to silicon as a surface for collecting light in solar cells. Read More
As recently as 2010, human-made silicene – an atom-thin form of silicon – was purely theoretical. But now the exotic material has been used to make transistors, and researchers have found that silicene's electrical properties lend it extraordinary potential in powering the next generation of computer chips. Read More
Swiss scientists have created the first semiconductor laser consisting solely of elements of main group IV (the carbon group) on the periodic table. Simply, this means that the new device is directly compatible with other elements in that group – such as silicon, carbon, and lead – and so can be directly incorporated in a silicon chip as it is manufactured. This presents new possibilities for transmitting data around computer chips using light, which could result in potential transfer speeds exponentially faster than possible with copper wire and using only a fraction of the energy of today's integrated circuits. Read More
New type of silicon could find use in solar cells and LEDs
You probably wouldn't be reading this if it weren't for silicon. It's the second most-abundant element in the Earth's crust as well as the key to modern technology – used in the integrated circuits that power such electronics as computers, mobile phones, and even some toasters and refrigerators. It's also used in compound form in building, ceramics, breast implants, and many other areas. And now the ubiquitous element may have a plethora of new applications, thanks to a team of Carnegie scientists who synthesized an allotrope (new/different physical form) with the chemical formula Si24. Read More
Using 'dirty silicon' to cut the cost of solar cells
Most everyone not vested in oil and gas agrees that renewable energies such as solar are a more sustainable option, but cost remains an issue. To make solar more competitive by addressing the high cost of solar cell production, researchers out of Norway have developed a method that could bring down the amount of silicon used per unit area by as much as 90 percent. The price of silicon is a major driver in the cost of solar panels. Read More
In what are claimed to be new world records, two teams working in parallel at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia have each found solutions to problems facing the advancement of silicon quantum computers. The first involves processing quantum data with an accuracy above 99 percent, while the second is the ability to store coherent quantum information for more than thirty seconds. Both of these records represent milestones in the eventual realization of super-powerful quantum computers. Read More
Conventional lithium-ion batteries rely on anodes made of graphite, but it is widely believed that the performance of this material has reached its zenith, prompting researchers to look at possible replacements. Much of the focus has been on nanoscale silicon, but it remains difficult to produce in large quantities and usually degrades quickly. Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have overcome these problems by developing a lithium-ion battery anode using sand. Read More
Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have developed a silicon anode that would allow us to charge lithium-ion batteries up to 16 times faster than is currently possible. The new design relies on a three-dimensional, cone-shaped cluster of carbon nanotubes that could also result in batteries that hold about 60 percent more charge while being 40 percent lighter.

Night-vision security cameras could be getting a lot less costly, thanks to the discovery that their lenses can be made from silicon. Ordinarily, thermal infrared camera lenses are made from materials such as germanium and chalcogenide, which are much more expensive. Read More
Children need to be allowed to play outside from time to time, but some parents are often too concerned for the safety of their little ones to loosen the reins.

The Greater Starkville Development Partnership has hired Jennifer Prather as its new special events and projects coordinator.
Prather, a former university events planner who has a prior background with the GSDP, will start her new job in early January.
ŌĆ£Coming back (to the Partnership), I see this as a perfect opportunity. ItŌĆÖs a dream job for me,ŌĆØ Prather said. ŌĆ£The trend IŌĆÖm seeing is that people are really buying into Starkville as a community. More and more people are moving here, starting businesses and buying second homes. I am excited to use my skills to work and make Starkville even more of a valued community.ŌĆØ
Jennifer Gregory, GSDP COO and vice president for tourism, said Prather will be responsible for all events the Partnership produces, including its year-long New South Weekends series, individual events like the holiday bazaar and other chamber events. Prather will also be the PartnershipŌĆÖs chief manager of the Starkville Community Market.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre extremely excited to bring Jennifer on board,ŌĆØ Gregory said. ŌĆ£We feel like sheŌĆÖs a perfect fit for our team here and that she brings a great deal of event-planning experience to the Partnership.ŌĆØ
In October, Starkville Main Street Association approved a measure which placed the market under its control. SMSA and GSDP officials said the move will allow the event to grow and prosper. In addition to hiring a market manager, the SMSA will also help fund advertising and other organizational needs. By increasing its visibility, Gregory said she expects SCM to grow in terms of attendees, vendors and volunteers. She also said she envisions more cross-promotions with local restaurant owners, small businesses and artisans which could provide future demonstrations, entertainment and educational elements.
ŌĆ£ThereŌĆÖs a great base of organizers and volunteers right now at the market, and the town has a great population to learn from. EveryoneŌĆÖs really put in a lot of time to make the market space what it is today,ŌĆØ Prather said. ŌĆ£I want to come in, learn and build the market.ŌĆØ

45% said they expect their favorite brands to advertise on tablets.
A recent study released by the Interactive Advertising Bureau UK showed that interactive ads on tablets generate much better response rates than static tablet ads. Over half of the respondents said they had a positive overall opinion of interactive ads (54 percent). Static ads got only half that amount of positive feedback with 27 percent. In addition, 45 percent of survey participants said they expect their favorite brands to advertise on tablets.
When the respondents were asked why they liked an ad, 28 percent of people said it was because it was interactive and contained multiple features.
These interactive ads also cause respondents to stay on the page for 31 percent more time. The average time spent with pages featuring interactive tablet ads was 24.6 seconds compared to 18.8 seconds for static ads and 17.5 seconds with dynamic ads.
One respondent from the survey commented about interactive ads saying, "Tablet users are often quite creative people and would interact and have fun with the ads more."
Although interactive ads can be helpful, they are not the only answer. The report also showed that 95 percent of respondents said it was "very important" that interactive tablet ads be unobtrusive and not interfere with what they are doing. Taking advantage of the touch screen capabilities of tablets is also something that 83 percent of respondents said was important to them. A close 82 percent of respondents stated that it is important for ads to be adapted to the content around them.
The report concludes, "Consumers already expect to see tablet ads and like ad funded models."
As tablets become more popular, the report suggests the push for advertising on these devices will continue. Respondents also seem to feel this way: 47 percent agreed that advertising on tablet computers is the "future of advertising."
The IAB UK Tablet Ad survey, conducted by Ipsos, was taken by 1,000 respondents and was intended to be completed on a tablet. The study then had users go through a mock newspaper page built using a Celtra rich media mobile platform embedded with nine ad formats. Various forms of static, dynamic, and interactive ads were viewed by the respondents and once finished, they were asked to answer a set of questions related to the ad formats.

Product description
Spring 2201 - Spring 2203: TheT'ang who make up the ruling Seven are struggling to maintain stasis and prevent change, as the "War That Wasn't A War" is fought within the levels of Chung Kuo's great world-spanning City: a war fought not with armies on battlefields but with an inventive evil - with bombs and betrayals, brutal assassinations and sly poisonings. Adding to the pressure for change is the existence of a document that charts the true history of this world, not the version invented and policed by the Ministry - the "Thousand Eyes" - who have, for so long, maintained this dark shadow at the very heart of Chung Kuo. Its discovery by the Dispersionists will fuel their ardent desire for change and for an end to Han rule. Lined up against the Dispersionists are a handful of men utterly loyal to the Seven - men like General Tolonen, along with the two men he has recruited from the Lowers, Gregor Karr and Kao Chen. When Tolonen destroys the newly-built generation-starship, The New Hope, he will change Chung Kuo for good by declaring war on the Dispertionists.

Eight-Year-Old Beyonce Kills It in this Talent Competition Clip [VIDEO]

Alabama's game against Mississippi State is shaping up to be a major turning point in the Tide's season. Get pumped for the epic gridiron gridlock that's going down Saturday with this hype video!
The list of Alabama natives appearing and competing on televised singing competitions continues as Hoover native Jessie Pitts represents Team Blake and our great state!
Where there's a runway, there is Rihanna. The cover girl princess couldn't just sit back in the crowd like a normal partygoer, instead she lived up to her 'Phresh Out the Runway' status and sashayed down the runway at the 2014 Miyake Mugler Ball last Saturday (Nov. 8).
Aretha Franklin is undoubtedly the Queen of Soul, a living legend, a true vocal talent. So it only made sense that she was asked her opinion of the current crop of pop girls during her interview with the Wall Street Journal. Her answers for some (Adele, Whitney Houston, Alicia Keys) were positive, fair judgments. Her reaction to others, however -- not so kind.
If you watched Trina's recent interview with 'The Breakfast Club' you would know that she's fed up with love. In her new video for 'F--- Love,' the Miami rhymer says goodbye to a failed relationship in a dark and mysterious way.
Lyrical giant Common brought his brand of heartfelt raps to 'The Queen Latifah Show' on Friday (Nov. 7). The Chicago rhymer performed his autobiographical-J Dilla-tribute song 'Rewind That,' off his latest album, 'Nobody's Smiling.'

Can you eat any type of ginger?
mersiepoo(6)January 12, 2012
I've got a super hardy ginger (it is supposed to bloom with a giant yellow fragrant flower in the summer, I'm holding my breath). My question is, can I eat the rhizomes like regular ginger? I forget the name of the ginger, but it is a pretty popular type.

With terrible floods ongoing in several regions of the world at the moment, including in Colorado and Russia, pictures of partially-drowned homes and cars, soggy gardens, and flood refugees seem to be filling the news. Flooding can be awful for a community, requiring substantial funds for recovery as people hire cleaning services and remodeling companies to make their homes habitable again, work to repair infrastructure, and try to prevent flooding on such a scale again. Unfortunately, due to shifts in global weather patterns, flooding is likely to be on the increase.
Recovering from Flooding? Watch Out in the Garden
One aspect of flood recovery often doesn't make the headlines, and it's important for you to be aware of it if you're recovering from a flood or you're in an area where flooding is common: your vegetable garden may not be safe after flooding.
While you may have heard of ruined crops post-flooding (one reason floods are so devastating), after your garden dries out from a flood, you might be tempted to salvage and eat the veggies that look like they've handled the weather okay. Even though they may look fine, without signs of mold, rot, mildew, and other problems, they could be carrying a hidden load of pathogens that you most definitely do not want to consume, along with chemicals and toxins.
Flooding, as you may be aware, often involves very dirty water. As floodwaters rise, they can carry toxins from the soil along with ruptured pipelines, dumps, and storage facilities. They lift oil from the streets, and as they swirl through communities, they pick up a nasty load of things like agricultural chemicals, paint, and more. Furthermore, flooding is often accompanied by rupture and overflow of sewer lines, which means that water also carries raw sewage with live infectious organisms.
When that water rushes through your garden, it deposits a load of harmful material on your plants and in your garden soil. Those Denver flower gardens should be okay, but vegetable plots are a whole different kettle of fish. It can't be washed away, and if you eat those crops, you could get very sick, especially if you have a compromised immune system. To prevent illness post-flooding, here are a few tips:

Rising stars on schedule for success
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- December 30, 2009
AS IF stripping naked for the cameras and simulating sex with a stranger isn't confronting enough, imagine how much worse it must feel when you know your parents are going to be watching.
Rising local talents Emma Booth and Claire van der Boom are grappling with this distressing thought as a consequence of having to shed their clothes for two of the biggest programs on television in 2010.
Van der Boom, who has been busy establishing her professional mark since taking her major TV role as senior constable Grace Barry in the first season of the Channel 10 drama Rush, is terrified by the notion of exposing her bare chest to the world during several sex scenes in the World War II epic The Pacific.
"It's not the most comfortable thing, no," says the 27-year-old, who plays Melbourne's Stella in the Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks series, which will premiere
on Channel 7.
"Doing a love scene is daunting but in my experience everyone on the set is incredibly sensitive to the unnaturalness of the experience. I always have some trepidation towards doing them but
if the scene is meaningful to the story then I am open to exploring that reality of our lives."
After the first two series of Underbelly featured extensive nudity and violence, the series is set to reach racier heights when the third instalment, Underbelly: The Golden Mile, debuts next year.
Booth is spending 13 episodes in stilettoes and short skirts playing ex-police officer, stripper and prostitute Kim Hollingsworth.
It's not the first time the Perth-raised Australian Film Institute (AFI) Award-winning actress has bared all for a role. Booth accepts being naked is a way of life and a perfect examination of her acting craft.
"People get naked, people have sex, people make love. If you're not prepared to go there I think you're missing out on something huge [as an actor]," the star, 27, says.
"You are also missing out on giving the audience a gift. It's part of life and I think if you're not prepared to go there then it's your loss as an actor.
"It doesn't always feel comfortable [or] that nice, but it is a part of life."
For Booth and van der Boom these latest roles mark the start of a major rise in their profiles, with the two talents slated to be among the biggest names on television in 2010. Another Australian to watch is City Homicide star Daniel MacPherson, who started as a green actor in Neighbours and has risen to crack the UK scene with a role in the long-running police drama The Bill. Now his sights are set on Hollywood.
"I'm going to try my luck over here," the Melbourne talent, 29, said from Los Angeles recently. "I want to see what it's all about and there seems to be a bit of interest, so we will see what happens."
Another face to watch is Firass Dirani. After his role in The Combination earlier this year, the Lebanese-Australian actor will next be seen playing "King Of The Cross" John Ibrahim in Underbelly: The Golden Mile, alongside Booth.
While Booth's talent was recognised when the former model played Jill in the 2007 Australian comedy Clubland, van der Boom has been struggling in Hollywood since relocating there in February.
After being killed off in Rush so she could explore other acting options, the NIDA graduate, who was born in Broome, set about finding work in Hollywood only to hit a brick wall and a sea of rejection.
"It's been a tough year for work and a lot of [us] have had to do what we can to keep our heads above water and trying to stay positive," says van der Boom, who also works as a nanny.
"There has been a lot of down and I've really learned to have other things going on in my life so I don't just sit around. I've been actively trying to get rights to books I want to adapt into screen plays and going to Spanish lessons and dance classes but that all costs money so there has been a hell of a lot of nannying going on ... I've been looking after a lot of screaming, crying babies and it does make you grateful when you get work."
She hopes signing on for her first major Hollywood project will change things.
The actress will play religious-bent folk singer Billie Tucker in Tough Trade, a first pilot for cable network Epix and directed by Academy Award winner Gavin Hood. It is shooting in Nashville and van der Boom says the US city is pumping with creativity.
"There are so many famous creative people here and I am so happy to be in a creative city," she says. "I went out last night to see some honkytonk and there is all sorts of music and arts here.
"My friends have heard me yodel after some red wine but generally I am pretty shy. However, there is no room for that now that I am playing a folk singer."
On her fourth callback for a role in the TV adaptation of Tim Winton's popular novel Cloudstreet, Booth is also kicking goals and has been relaxing at home in Perth over the festive season before Underbelly kicks into overdrive next year.
Booth is excited by Cloudstreet and optimistic about her chances as Screentime, the producers behind Underbelly, are also working on the new project.
"It's going to be shot in Perth and if I don't get it I think it will be down to an age thing," she says. "It's the same guys producing (as Underbelly) and they know my work and know I can pull it off so I am just waiting. Being in Underbelly has been full-on but it is one of the best roles I have ever played. I just feel so blessed to have (been given) the opportunity."

I love this cream! It's great! I struggle with acne and redness. I applying this cream religiously, on my face overnight and it really clears up my skin almost immediately, Absolutely incredible.
Excellent for eldelry bed-ridden person. Soothing ointment for sore skiin
this cream has been a miracle for chronic pressure sores from being in a wheelchair ,being an obese 52year old man wheelchair bound .it has stopped the bleeding and pain and protects against infection replaces endoderms and skin ripping tape and skin prep..
My son has super sensitive skin and I can only use 7th Generation wipes or Babyganics wipes on him. So when it came to time to find a diaper rash cream that didn't bother him, I tried this first because I loved how well it worked for my older son. Thankfully, this worked great on my sensitive son as well. Not only was it gentle enough but it really worked. Happy baby = Happy mommy :)
I'm a busy mom of 5. And diaper rash is the last thing that I have time to play with. I tried this product after trying everything else even RX meds nothing would work on my daughters sensitive skin so, I said I've spent money on everything else I might as well try this. OMG it was a life saver it cleared up the rash after one use and it was completely gone after two days. So now if I see a rash coming I reach for it and it does the trick well worth it plus it comes with a 1.00 off coupon inside the box. My only regret is that I didn't know about this product four babies ago. stop wastin money and purchase the last diaper rash ointment you'll ever want to buy. A little goes A LONG way. So only use a little it's very thick but it speads easily and it coats the skin so it leaves a protective barrier. I hopes this helps.
