For the money~~~~ Good rug. Don't expect the highest quality, but is is adequate. The black and white is not truly a crisp white. It is off white. So id your expectation is for crisp white~~~~ this is not for you. But if you'r okay with black and off white, adequate for the price quality, and love the design of the rug~~~ this rug is for you!
My husband and I LOVE this rug! I was a little hesitant to order it because of the mixed reviews, but I am so glad I did! The rug is a little thin, but for the price I am not sure what people were really expecting. The color is fantastic, very vibrant and absolutely beautiful! Everyone that comes over raves about the style... it makes a huge statement, especially against our neutral furniture. I haven't had any problems with shedding, like others mentioned. The rug is a great addition to our home, I am so glad we got it!
I wanted to put some style into my sad-looking living room, and I have a very tight budget. If you have transitional furniture and a more informal space, this is a GREAT rug. I plan to keep this rug for the next 2-4 years only, so for me, it wasn't important to find a rug that would last forever, though it certainly seems durable. I looked in Marshalls, Ross, Kohls (during their sale), Walmart, Target, HomeDepot, Lowes, Tuesday Morning, Ebay and Craigslist for a rug. This was the absolute best deal I found on a larger area rug (I was looking for an 8 x 11). Additionally, most of the rugs I saw "in person" were anywhere from 50-150 dollars more for this size and the rug was (a) usually in a pattern that would've been more difficult to incorporate into an existing design, and (b) the quality was not as good as the rug I just got. No complaints.
Got this rug a couple weeks ago, and I'm mostly pleased with it. It arrived quickly and well-packaged. It's HUGE, and totally fills up our living room, which is what I wanted. In terms of quality, it's totally fine for the price, but not great. The rug we received had a couple visible snags, and it doesn't feel quite as nice underfoot as a more expensive rug. My boyfriend thinks it's too busy -- he says the zig-zags hurt his eyes, since they're quite narrow. I think we expected them to be a bit wider. I like the way it really pops in the room, though. I'd buy this again.
Absolutely love this rug. Wasn't sure at first about the color (I got the brown one) but its perfect. For the price and size it's a steal. Looks great in my living room.
Great price. I really wanted this design. Other sites had same designs/size for 300 or more dollars. Very easy to clean, not a deep pile if you have crumb issues. One warning: the pattern comes across much bolder when you actually see it. It's not at all subtle. But I love it.
great rug. Stains come out very easily. True to size and color
Looks great from a distance until you step on it. Its a dirt/ hair trap, you can see practically everything. Does not vacuum well. Not recommended for kids room. Color is off-white.
This rug is the perfect size for our new living room. The navy option works well with our walls and curtains!
Okay rug for the price. Nice and big. I read on a previous post that the material of the rug reminds them of a cheap stuffed animal, and they were right. It is kind of a fuzzy material. But it is still soft on your feet and you get the chevron look you are looking for. I purchased the black and white--the white is a bit more cream than a crisp white.

Angioplasty for Heart Attack and Unstable Angina
Angioplasty gets blood flowing back to the heart. It opens a coronary artery that was narrowed or blocked during a heart attack. The coronary artery might be blocked by a blood clot and fat and calcium from a ruptured plaque that caused the heart attack.
Doctors try to do angioplasty as soon as possible after a heart attack. But angioplasty is not available in all hospitals. If a person is at a hospital that does not do angioplasty, he or she might be moved to another hospital where angioplasty can be done.
Angioplasty is also called percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA).
How is angioplasty done?
Angioplasty is done using a thin, soft tube called a catheter. A doctor inserts the catheter into a blood vessel in the groin or wrist. The doctor carefully guides the catheter through blood vessels until it reaches coronary arteries on the heart.
Cardiac catheterization, also called coronary angiogram. Your doctor first uses the catheter to find narrowing or blockages in the coronary arteries. This is done by injecting a dye that contains iodine into the arteries. The dye makes the coronary arteries visible on a digital X-ray screen. This testing is also called a coronary angiogram.
Balloon with or without a stent. If there is a blockage, the catheter is moved to the narrowed part of the artery. A tiny balloon is moved through the catheter and is used to open the artery. The balloon is inflated for a short time. Then it is deflated and removed. The pressure from the inflated balloon makes more room for the blood to flow, because the balloon presses the plaque against the wall of the artery. The doctor can also use the balloon to place a stent in the artery to keep it open.
In some cases, the doctor might remove loose pieces of blood clots from the artery. This is done with a small device that is like a vacuum. The doctor moves the device up through the catheter to the blocked artery and removes the clot pieces. This is a newer procedure that can be used during angioplasty.
See a picture of a balloon angioplasty .
See a picture of stent placement .
View the slideshow on angioplasty to see how an angioplasty is done.
What is a stent?
A stent is a small, expandable tube. It is permanently inserted into the artery during angioplasty. The stent keeps the artery open.
During angioplasty, the balloon is placed inside the stent and inflated, which opens the stent and pushes it into place against the artery wall to keep the narrowed artery open. Because the stent is like woven mesh, the cells lining the blood vessel grow through and around the stent to help secure it. Your doctor may use a bare metal stent or a drug-eluting stent.
Drug-eluting stents. All stents have a risk that scar tissue will form and narrow the artery again. This scar tissue can block blood flow. To help prevent this blockage, drug-eluting stents are coated with drugs that prevent the scar tissue from growing into the artery. Drug-eluting stents may lower the chance that you will need a second procedure (angioplasty or surgery) to open the artery again.
A stent is designed to:
- Press the plaque against the artery walls and open up the artery, thereby improving blood flow.
- Keep the artery open after the balloon is deflated and removed.
- Seal any tears in the artery wall.
- Prevent the artery wall from collapsing or closing off again (restenosis).
- Prevent small pieces of plaque from breaking off, which might cause a heart attack.
What To Expect After Treatment
After angioplasty, you will be moved to a recovery room or to the coronary care unit. Your heart rate, pulse, and blood pressure will be closely watched. You will have a large bandage or a compression device at the catheter insertion site to prevent bleeding.
An angioplasty may take 30 to 90 minutes. But you need time to get ready for it and time to recover. It can take several hours total.
People usually can start walking in 12 to 24 hours after angioplasty. The average hospital stay is 1 to 2 days for uncomplicated procedures. You may resume exercise and driving after several days.
After angioplasty, you will take antiplatelet medicines to help prevent another heart attack or a stroke. You will probably take aspirin plus another antiplatelet such as clopidogrel. If you get a drug-eluting stent, you will probably take both of these medicines for at least 1 year. If you get a bare metal stent, you will take both medicines for at least 1 month but maybe up to 1 year. Then you will likely take daily aspirin long-term. If you have a high risk of bleeding, your doctor may shorten the time you take these medicines.
After your procedure, you might attend a cardiac rehabilitation (rehab) program. In cardiac rehab, a team of health professionals provides education and support to help you recover and start new, healthy habits, such as eating right and getting more exercise. To keep your heart healthy and your arteries open, making these changes is just as important as getting treatment. If your doctor hasn't already suggested it, ask if cardiac rehab is right for you.
Why It Is Done
Emergency angioplasty with or without stenting is typically the first choice of treatment for a heart attack.
Although many things are involved, angioplasty might be done if you:1
- Are having a heart attack.
- Have frequent or severe angina that is not responding to medicine and lifestyle changes.
- Have evidence of severely reduced blood flow (ischemia) to an area of heart muscle caused by one or more narrowed coronary arteries.
- Have a narrowed or blocked artery that is likely to be treated successfully with angioplasty.
- Are in good enough health to have the procedure.
Angioplasty may not be a reasonable treatment option when:
- There is no evidence of reduced blood flow to the heart muscle.
- Only small areas of the heart are at risk, and you do not have disabling angina symptoms.
- You are at risk for having complications or dying during angioplasty due to other health problems.
- You cannot take blood thinner medicines, aspirin and another antiplatelet, after getting a stent.
- The affected artery cannot be reached during angioplasty.
How Well It Works
Angioplasty works well to open a blocked artery after a heart attack. How well it works depends on the type of blockage. But angioplasty can open blocked arteries in about 9 out of 10 people.2
Angioplasty relieves angina symptoms (such as chest pain or pressure) and improves blood flow to the heart. If the artery narrows again, another angioplasty or a bypass surgery may be needed. The artery is less likely to narrow again if a stent, especially a drug-eluting stent is used.1
The benefits of angioplasty are much greater if you don't smoke. If you smoke, quit smoking.
Risks of angioplasty include:
- Bleeding at the puncture site.
- Damage to the blood vessel at the puncture site.
- Sudden closure of the coronary artery.
- Small tear in the inner lining of the artery.
- Heart attack.
- Need for additional procedures. Angioplasty may increase the risk of needing urgent bypass surgery. Also, the repaired artery can get narrow again (restenosis) and a repeat angioplasty may need to be done.
- Reclosure of the dilated blood vessel (restenosis).
- Death. The risk of death is higher when more than one artery is involved.
What To Think About
After a heart attack, bypass surgery is sometimes a better option than angioplasty. For example, surgery may be better for people who have many blocked arteries or blockages that cannot be reached during angioplasty.

They end up finding her in some underground camp, she's totally a MILF now, and it's on from there!
He's totally going to bone her.
Yeah, I'm sure this is what's going to happen.

The delicate eye area requires special attention. Waterproof mascara, long-lasting eye liner, and colorful eye shadows all contribute to the grime and impurities which build up around the eyes. Without regular cleansing, these impurities can accelerate the signs of aging. Fine lines, wrinkles, puffiness, and dark shadows form around the eye area. Ole Henriksen Eye Makeup Remover effectively removes even the most stubborn of eye makeup without aggravating the sensitive skin around the eyes. The natural botanical extracts and vitamins contained in Ole Henriksen Eye Makeup Remover ensure that the eye area is nourished and nurtured while cosmetic residues are completely swept away.
After one use of Ole Henriksen Eye Makeup Remover, you will come to understand why it is a firm favorite among Hollywood makeup artists. Its effective cleansing power is strong enough to remove the most adhesive of cosmetics, while natural ingredients provide essential hydration and nourishment. In one sweep, eyes are brighter, skin is calmed, and the visible signs of aging are tackled. Ole Henriksen Eye Makeup Remover is a vital component of an effective beauty routine.
At the end of a hectic day, undress your eyes with Ole Henriksen Eye Makeup Remover. This soothing, natural cleanser completely removes all traces of eye makeup along with the dirt and grime that builds up over the course of the day. However, its healing, botanical ingredients also nourish and treat the fragile skin around the eyes, addressing the visible signs of aging that can form all too easily. Inflammation is reduced, fine lines are smoothed, and skin is tightened. Eyes are refreshed and brightened.
Strong but sensitive, Ole Henriksen Purifying Eye Makeup Remover provides effective cleansing without drying or irritating the sensitive skin around the eyes. The soft, silky wipes are infused with a unique blend of botanical ingredients, specially formulated to dissolve the most stubborn of eye makeup while nourishing the skin. Cucumber extract minimizes puffiness, cools the eyes, and provides a gentle astringent action. Chamomile extract calms, soothes, and reduces inflammation. Eyebright extract constricts the capillaries around the eye area, tightening the skin and reducing inflammation. Powerful antioxidants contained in vitamin E soothe and heal the delicate eye area. The eye makeup remover is completely oil-free. The wipes are simple to use. Just press the pad against the eye and work it gently up and down until the eye makeup is completely dissolved. Both sides of the pads can be used. For an extra treat, store the cleansing wipes in the refrigerator before use. The chilled wipes make an excellent pick-me-up treatment for tired eyes.

February 27, 2015 - I love this bracelet. I have a 7 inch wrist so this is not too big for me! It holds up to whatever I am doing. I love them for me & for gifts!
February 27, 2015 - I love these bracelets - I bought them in several colors. They are beautiful and really light, so they are really comfortable to wear. I have received several compliments on them. I also love purchasing items that help people. I highly recommend to buy them fr yourself or as gifts for others. :)
February 8, 2015 - I bought 15 of these as gifts and love them. It's amazing to me that they are made from grass, what talent! I love to buy from here because the gifts have meaning and help support others. They are beautiful bracelets.
January 19, 2014 - Light weight and so comfortable to wear that you forget you have it on. I love the cranberry color and hope to order more soon. It makes me feel very special when I wear it knowing that it was made by hand by a woman of another culture.
January 11, 2014 - I had high hopes, My original ordered arrived without either of the bracelets I ordered. Customer service took care of that, but by that time the color I wanted was no longer being carried. When the recipient took the first bracelet out of the package and stretched it to put it on her wrist, it immediately broke and beads went all over the floor. Hopefully she will be able to get some use out of the other one.

Rihanna arrives at the 2013 Grammy Awards at the Staples Center. / Dan MacMedan, USA TODAY
Rihanna stirred up the Grammys Sunday night.
She wasn't showing a lot of skin, but her Azzedine Alaia gown was so sheer that a lot of "nipple" chatter erupted on Twitter as soon as she hit the red carpet, with Perez Hilton immediately noting the star was "showing off her nipple rings."
There was also talk about her forehead-revealing hair giving her a Tyra Banks look.
Of her dress, she told E!'s Ryan Seacrest that Alaia "sent me a few dresses that he worked on. This one was just stunning. I love the color."
She also mentioned that her Stay video will debut on Monday."I pretty much stayed put in a bathtub, and we shot it really tight, really close."
And although she and Chris Brown worked the red carpet separately, they were spotted sitting together during the show - another cause for buzz.

ghd Gold Professional Styler 1"Melissa A.HairDark BrownDry HairThick or Coarse HairLove This Hair StraightenerI have used hot tools in the past and was using an Andis before I bought my GHD. I was using the Andis to curl my hair and noticed that my hair was getting super damaged and actually was burnt and smelled burnt everytime i washed my hair. NOT OKAY. That was when i decided i needed to upgrade. I did a lot of research and decided that I needed to go big or go home. I am so glad I did. This hair straightener is awesome. it is fast and effective and seems to damage my hair much less. It is great for both straightening and curling. Also, this doesn't seem like a big deal but it really is convenient....IT HEATS UP SO FAST. Like its crazy you turn it on and like 30 secs later its fully hot. If you can afford to I would definitely save up, wait until folica has a good deal and buy this one. Worth the money.posted Aug 20, 2012Link to this post
ghd Gold Professional Styler 1"JaimyHairBlondeColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairGreat Except --no Way To Lower Temp...This is a great great flat iron except for one thing and I wanted to share this as to warn others and had to return mine >>> It has NO way to lower or adjust the temperature.
It sustains a very consistne heat, but much to hot for my thin, fine hair.
Othwerise I do recommend this if you use a high heat for your hair.
Have a great day girls!posted Aug 16, 2012Link to this post -
ghd Gold Professional Styler 1"TheresaNorth TexasHairLight BrownCurly HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairGhd Makes The Best Irons.I like this iron. I sometimes have to pass over the hair twice but honestly I don't know ANY iron you don't have to do that with. My hair is fine and VERY wavy/curly. I have to blow it out first using fingers and it will be sorta curly/wavy puffy before I use iron. But after use my hair is straight and smooth.posted Aug 6, 2012Link to this post
ghd Gold Professional Styler 1"NatalieChicagoHairDark BrownDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairSuperior To All Other Flat-ironsWhen turning the iron on for the first time, I automatically noticed that there is no temperature control switch, just an on/off switch. Already I was a bit apprehensive because I usually need very high heat for my thick, curly hair and low heat for my bangs (in order for them not to be stick straight and flat).
When the iron is switched on, it beeps, and the switch will light up and blink to indicate that the iron is heating up. Seconds later, it will fully heat up, and beep three times more and the light will stop blinking to indicate that it's ready for use. This iron heats up in less than 30 seconds, and is definitely faster than any other iron I've used.
I don't normally forget to turn my flat iron off after use, but it's a habit to plug in my flat iron before I'm actually going to use it to give it time to heat up. After 30 minutes of being idle, the iron will go into sleep mode and beep every 10 seconds as a reminder that it's on, and it's still plugged in. I think it's a pretty sweet feature.
My hair type:
Long (down my back), thick, curly - a mixture of loose curls and waves (not kinky), dry and fine. My hair is like a difficult child that does what they want, when they want and won't listen to authority.
With that said, I need a pretty good iron if I want my hair to be perfectly primped.
I always start with the underside of my hair first, and comb out one inch sections. With one pass of my iron my hair is fairly straight, but two passes is needed because my hair is long, and with a thin plate flat iron, little areas can get missed. It takes around 20-25 minutes to get through my hair.
It doesn't pull my hair, snag, and my hair glides smoothly through the plates without causing bends in my hair.
What stands out the most to me about this iron is that it leaves my hair soft and shiny. It doesn't feel dry or fried and brittle like other flat irons I've used. Also, when flat ironing my bangs, I always style them on low heat so they'll fall naturally, rather than looking stick straight and in the way. This iron styles my bangs perfectly!
I have to mention that I never wear my hair straight, but I have to use a flat iron when I wear my signature loose waves. My curls are tighter toward the roots and remain semi-tight a couple inches down my hair, and after that, the curls loosen up. So, I section my hair off and flat iron from my roots to about 1/3 down my hair, leaving the bottom curly. I then use a large barrel curling iron to curl my hair. It may seem like I can use any flat iron for this and get the same results, but I can definitely notice a difference in how healthy my hair appears.
Because I have very long hair, this flat iron wouldn't be the best model for me for wearing my hair straight, as the plates are so small. If I did in fact wear my hair straight, I'd opt for a model with larger plates. For what I need this flat iron for, this model works just fine.
$225 is a huge price to pay for a flat iron, and isn't in many of our budgets. But for those who are willing to pay an arm and a leg for professional hair tools, I'd definitely recommend looking into a GHD. This is my favorite flat iron by far!posted Jul 18, 2012Link to this post -
ghd Gold Professional Styler 1"Ayana "thehairazor" A.HairBlackChemically Treated HairGreat Iron!!The GHD Gold iron is a really great iron for at home use. Im a hairstylist so I really liked the fact that the temperature is controlled and doesn't get too hot. I usually don't like irons with just an on and off switch but this one is made really well. The plates glide super smooth through your hair and creates beautiful curls! If you're looking for a super easy to use flat iron, the GHD Gold is for you!posted Jul 12, 2012Link to this post
ghd Gold Professional Styler 1"Monica C.United StatesHairLight BrownDry HairBest Straightener Ever!I absolutely LOVE this straightener! As a beauty guru on youtube, I have tried a lot of different ones and the GHD is seriously like no other. The plates are really great quality and make gliding down your hair really smooth. There is no heat setting because it adjusts to your hair type. I love the idea of this, it leaves my hair super straight without over heating it. When I finish straightening my hair it honestly feels like I just had a treatment done, its the softest its ever felt. The packaging is nice and it heats up very quick as well! All in all, coming from someone who has tried a lot of different straighteners this one is a bit more pricey but worth it! Don't waste time with cheap straighteners that make your hair frizz in hour later, spend a little more and you will get amazing results with a GHD!posted Jul 12, 2012Link to this post
ghd Gold Professional Styler 1"ShikaAtlanta, GAHairDark BrownDry HairThick or Coarse HairChemically Treated HairAwesomeness!!This is honestly one of the best flat irons that I've ever used. I have very tightly coiled, kinky hair, however, I am also chemically relaxed. One of the problem areas I have with my hair is my resistant "new growth." Because of the size, this iron is able to get to my new growth and straighten it without issue. Additionally, this is the first iron that I have used that truly allows me to straighten my hair (to my satisfaction) with only one pass of the iron.
Some of the biggest pros are that the iron heats up SUPER QUICKLY! Literally in less than a minute after plugging it up, the iron is good to go. Additionally, the safety feature that shuts the iron off after 30 minutes is a big positive for those of us who tend to forget our irons on when we leave the house in the morning (lol me!)
The only "con" that I have for this iron is the lack of control for the amount of heat that I am applying to my hair. It would be perfect if I could adjust the level of heat that I am using on my strands (i.e. less heat for touch-ups, more heat for initial styling).posted Jul 2, 2012Link to this post -
ghd Gold Professional Styler 1"Erica L.CanadaHairBlackDry HairThick or Coarse HairGreat Iron, But For A Price.Pros:
- Heats up very quickly
- Plate guard helps for travel and storage (no need to wait so long for plates to cool down!)
- Super thin, light, and compact
- Smooth plates
- Automatic Sleep Mode feature is great for safety
- 2 year warranty
- Price reflects the "professional salon" quality
- No adjustable temperature dial
Compared to the g.h.d. Classic Styler:
+ Slightly better performance
= Heats up very quickly
= No adjustable temperature (one setting only)
= Automatic Sleep Mode feature available in both
- 20% more expensive
Overall Comments
I bought the g.h.d. Classic Styler about 1-2 years ago, and it was already my favourite straightener. This is hands down my new favourite iron for straightening only. I know $225 is a lot to pay, but if you're like me and constantly on the lookout for the perfect iron, this could very well be The One. For most people, buying this iron at this price point is unnecessary - you can get great (or maybe even equal!) results with the g.h.d. Classic Styler... or even other irons if they work well enough for you!
Not having adjustable temperature doesn't make a HUGE difference to me, because my hair is quite thick and coarse, so I use a pretty high setting on adjustable irons anyway. However, for those of you with finer hair, you're better off looking for an iron that allows you to use a lower temperature setting.
The auto Sleep Mode feature on the g.h.d. irons is a great safety check that gives me peace of mine.
When it comes to curling...this iron claims to be easier to use to create flawless curls and waves. To be honest, yes it was a bit easier to get nice looking curls, but it wasn't so much easier that I would recommend getting this iron for that reason alone. This would be a non-deciding factor for me.
Would I Recommend?
Only for those who are having a difficult time finding a styling iron that performs well on their hair. For most people, I think the g.h.d. Classic Styler would be sufficient (at $40 less, too!). I wouldn't recommend this for people who have fine hair who are already able to see good results using a lower temperature setting on other irons.

ghd Gold Professional Styler 1"AngelaHairNormal HairAmazing ResultsI've gone through a fair number of straighteners, but I would definitely say that this one is by far the best. The plates go through your hair super smoothly, and I've never had any trouble with either straightening or curling.
It heats up in literally seconds and cuts the time it takes to straighten my hair in half compared to some other irons I have. It also has an automatic shutoff setting which is perfect because I'll be honest, sometimes I do forget to turn my hot tools off.
Overall, I'm definitely pleased with the results and I'd say its well worth the price.posted Jul 1, 2012Link to this post -
ghd Gold Professional Styler 1"RachaelHairBlackOily HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairNew #1.. And I Own A Dozen Flat Irons!My title is not an exaggeration. I have very little patience with my coarse long hair, so I now own a dozen high end flat irons, but this particular GHD takes the cake! I stopped purchasing LE GHDs because I felt the plates did not get as hot due to the coloured coating. I was hesitant try this one, but I'm glad I took the plunge! It gets hot very quickly in true GHD fashion, but more importantly, the iron REMAINS hot while in use. I also think the flowery, whimsical embossments are fun yet subdued enough for an adult. The iron is lighter in weight than most of my GHDs, which some people find may feel cheapens the overall feel, but I prefer the lighter weight because my arm does not tire as easily while I'm curling, which takes about 15 minutes longer than straightening, 15 minutes for pin straight hair. Another bit to add to the pros list, this Gold Edition comes with a travelling clamp to hold the plates together while traveling, which prevents excess dust and grime from spoiling the plates.buoy won't be receiving a matching soft case, but I personally don't like the froo froo riff raff travel bags and cases, they are always too large and bulky (for my minimalist traveling style, anyway), so I rather like the basic clamp.
I, however, don't find that my hair looks shinier after using this iron, so I usually finish off with a shine spray.Other than that, I have no criticisms. I think this iron is well worth the money, and it is leaps and bounds better than the Sedu Icon, which I had really high expectations for.posted Jun 30, 2012Link to this post

Rays aim to keep pushing forward in Wild Card race
Tampa Bay's ace Price faces off against Minnesota's Hernandez
By the time the Rays' rain-delayed win over the Twins came to an end on Saturday night, they could see that the team closest on their heels in the Wild Card race -- the Indians -- had pulled out a victory. That keeps Tampa Bay's margin for error slim heading into Sunday's series finale at Target Field.
With their 7-0 win in the second game of the series on Saturday, the Rays tied the Rangers atop the American League Wild Card standings, maintaining their 1 1/2-game lead over the Tribe. The Yankees are three games back, and the Royals and Orioles trail by 3 1/2.
Tampa Bay has won 11 straight against the Twins, including a perfect 6-0 thus far this year. It's the Rays' second-longest winning streak against a single opponent in franchise history (they won 12 straight against the Orioles in 2008).
The Rays will have ace David Price on the hill for Sunday afternoon's game, with the lefty looking to build off his strong start against the Red Sox in his last start.
Price's previous three starts had not gone well before he held the Sox to two runs on three hits in eight innings, though he didn't receive enough run support to earn the victory.
"Dave was outstanding," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "I thought he was great. He could not have done anything more."
The Twins have had trouble making contact this season -- already setting a franchise record for strikeouts in a year -- and going up against Price will be a tall order.
"We know we have to get better," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "We can't strike out this many times. You know guys like Willingham and them are going to strike out some because they're swinging for the fences. But there's a lot of other guys in there that really have to cut down their swings."
Price will be up against Twins lefty Pedro Hernandez, who is 3-1 with a 5.25 ERA this season. He labored through just 4 2/3 innings against the Angels on Monday, but also took a no-decision.
The southpaw gave up three runs on eight hits and a walk.
"I felt good, but I think the heat got to me a little bit," Hernandez said. "I would have liked to have gotten ahead of hitters a little more. Getting behind against righties hurt me."
Rays: Myers heating up
• Over his last 11 games, Wil Myers is batting .350 (14-for-40) with five doubles, two homers and five RBIs. He's raised his average from .280 to .290 in that span.
• The Rays have lost 10 of their last 14 games against left-handed starters, dating back to July 30. Before that, they were 23-11 on the season against lefties.
Twins: Offense sputtering
• Minnesota has been shut out in each of the first two games of the series, and has scored more than three runs in a game just twice since Sept. 6.
With their loss on Saturday, Minnesota dropped to a season-worst 21 games under .500. It was the team's 12th shutout loss of the season.
• Gardenhire is just five wins away from becoming the eighth active manager to reach 1,000 career wins, and the 60th all time.
Worth noting
• The Twins are 60-62 all-time against the Rays, and 34-29 at home. But they're just 3-12 at Target Field.

The gallbladder is located on the liver and near the stomach. Gallstones form when cholesterol or bile stored in the gallbladder hardens into pieces of stone-like material. Gallstones are made of cholesterol salts and bilirubin salts. Gallstones can be as small as a grain of sand or as large as a golf ball. The gallbladder can develop just one large stone, hundreds of tiny stones, or almost any combination.

Gallstones are caused when bile or cholesterol crystalizes into gallstones.
Gallstones can form under the following conditions:
People who are older than 60 are at increased risk for gallstones. Women between 20-60 years old and those with high estrogen levels are also at increased risk. People of Native American, Mexican American, and Northern European descent are also at increased risk.
Other factors that may increase your risk of gallstones include:
Certain medications can increase your risk of gallstones, including:
Many people have gallstones without symptoms, called silent gallstones. In some cases, these are treated.
Gallstones may cause pain in the upper abdomen. This is sometimes called an attack because it begins suddenly, often after a fatty meal. The pain is severe and may last for 30 minutes or several hours.
Other symptoms include:

Paint Job Maintenance and Car Care - Welcome To The Machine
Written by on March 10, 2010 High-End Paint Care Made EasyThese days it doesn't matter if the subject is welding, photography, or doing income tax returns there's a steady influx of high-tech products entering the marketplace designed to relegate skills once regarded as the exclusive territory of seasoned professionals and put them into the hands of enthusiastic amateurs. The automotive field is no exception and the trend has moved into the arena of professional paint care. Two of the top brands in the premium car care field are Mothers and Meguiar's and they both offer complete systems right down to the power tools necessary. Both companies have gone to great lengths to provide the DIY crowd foolproof equipment, but of course there's still consequences if the job isn't handled right.
To help us walk CCT readers through the steps of maintaining a high-dollar paintjob without causing any unnecessary damage we asked our friend Andy Uphoff at Andy's Detail Service based out of Costa Mesa, California, to give us a hand. Andy rolled up to "Boss" Bob's Garage in his '63 Chevy C20 outfitted to handle mobile detailing and laid it all out. In addition to the '63 Chevy as a guinea pig Andy worked a little magic on "Boss" Bob's '56 F-100, featured on the August '07 cover of Custom Classic Trucks as well. Bob's '56 can fool you, it looks like it never leaves the garage, but as evidenced in CCT's coverage of La Verne, California's Cool Cruise the truck has been driven to shows where it has rained during the event.
On the day Andy showed up it was pouring rain, so the '63 Chevy had to have major mud washed off and, stored inside, the '56 only needed a minor bath. A former custom painter and auto detailer myself, I helped Andy wash the trucks. We used Meguiar's and Mothers car wash soap on both trucks to see how well they worked. Then we dried the pair off, and moved onto claying any areas that felt rough to the touch while we were drying. With the pickups clayed and ready, the toe-to-toe comparison moved on to testing the power tools. For those of you gun shy when it comes to using a machine on your paintjob, have no fear; neither devise is capable of doing any more damage than a complete flunkie can do by hand with a rag.
The best product to buy for someone that doesn't want to invest a lot of money to find out whether or not they are any good with a machine is Mothers Power Ball 4Paint. The folks at Mothers have developed an entire line of unique foam balls, plus a cone that turn any electric drill into a professional level polishing machine. Next in line for the guys who really want to step up their game is Meguiar's G110 dual-action polisher. The folks at Meguair's really did their homework when they designed the G110. It's the last polisher you'll have to buy, whether you're a pro or a private user.
The final word in detailing products and how to use them is all about personal preference. We're confident this guide will help you avoid the snake oil cures and know good products when you find them. Remember the most important thing to learn is how to train your eye to recognize flaws and teach yourself the skills to correct them-everything gets shinier from there!

I really like the desktop launcher interface of Homerun. Not as big a fan of Kicker, though.
Phoronix: Homerun 1.2.0 For KDE Brings Homerun Kicker
Homerun 1.2.0 is available this week as a collection of launcher interfaces for KDE's Plasma Workspaces...
I really like the desktop launcher interface of Homerun. Not as big a fan of Kicker, though.
*facepalm* yet another kickoff/launcelot launcher type, why? I thought the main stuff was Homerun and its a disgrace infront of SimpleWellcome + TimeFrame or Unity stuff. I've waited to see a good alternative that would work in any OS and not just ROSA/Ubuntu but it seems author worked on something way less important and has plans for improving interesting things. Its too slow on modern hardware, behaviour is strange when you can't even rearrange the list, lack of good theme(because trying to use system one doesn't work good with all of them)
I love it, both fullscreen and non-fullscreen modes
I like the homerun launcher a lot, too The best new feature of 1.2 in my opinion is the recently launched applications source, which I missed since using Unity.
Finally good and simple kicker. This replaced mine Kickoff application launcher. Favorite icons should still have tooltips. Tablet version of the homerun seems to be quite slow.

MP3 Player Buyer's Guide
Today there are many different brands and types of MP3 players, creating a seemingly daunting task in choosing the right one, but it doesn't have to be that way. This guide will show you the three most important things to consider when choosing an MP3 player.
Memory Type
One of the first things you must decide on when considering an MP3 player is the memory type. To the average consumer this "geeky" aspect is actually very important and is based on how you are going to use the player and how much total storage space you want. With the two types of memory, flash and hard drive, durability and cost will be the main variables.
Durability: Flash memory, sometimes called "solid state," looks likes like a small microchip. This kind of memory contains no moving parts and is therefore very durable, making it better suited for a more active and on-the-move user.
On the flipside, hard drive based memory is more prone to failure since it contains moving parts. Hard drives come in several different sizes, but they are all made of the same basic component: a spinning disc with a swinging arm to read the data. Granted, you still can use hard drive players for running or in the gym. They will likely hold up quite well, but there is still a small risk of failure when compared to a zero risk with flash memory. Also keep in mind that if you are prone to dropping your gadgets, hard drive based players run a much higher possibility of damage when they hit the ground.
Cost: The flash memory may be much more durable, but it does come at a cost, typically twice the price of the same capacity hard drive. Additionally, it has a limited maximum capacity in comparison to the hard drive memory, which can be a problem if you have a massive music collection or like to watch a lot of video. If you don't consider yourself a klutz, you might lean toward the higher capacity hard drive based player, ideal for those music packrats who needs to have all of their tunes with them at all times.
OS Support
The operating system you use, whether it's Windows, Mac, or Linux, will determine which MP3 players are compatible. When discussing OS compatibility, the topic of transfer protocols comes up - this is basically the language the MP3 player speaks to the computer when transferring music. If you are using Windows nearly all players are compatible, but Linux and Mac users should be a little more cautious when purchasing a player.
MSC: "Mass Storage Class" or MSC is a protocol that will work with virtually any modern operating system and is your safest bet. MSC operates just like a thumb drive that you plug into the USB port which shows up as a drive letter. Music can then be dragged and dropped into the device, just as you would add documents or photos to a thumb drive.
MTP: Standing for "Media Transfer Protocol" this open standard was build for MP3 and PMP devices. MTP is typically best for Windows systems since drivers are most stable with that OS. However, MTP is catching on in the latest versions of Ubuntu Linux with full and stable support. If you are using a Mac, some MTP hacks exist, but it would be recommended that Mac users avoid MTP based devices.
Proprietary: Occasionally a manufacturer will make up its own protocol in order to provide a user with an "end to end" user experience. There have been a few that have come and gone, but there are really only the two from the OS juggernauts that are of any concern: Apple (iPod) and Microsoft (Zune). These players each have different proprietary protocols that typically require the software media players they provide. The downside to this closed system is that you have little choice on the services you can draw from and are limited to a single media player. The iPod and Zune do play all the popular file types, but may be a bit more restrictive to the more hardcore users. However, on the upside, creating this closed system can provide a more consistent experience and may be easier to use for the absolute beginner.
Where To Get Music
An MP3 player is pretty useless unless you have some media to put on it. In this section we will take a look at places to get music and discuss cautions when dealing with DRMed music.
Rip Your Own Music: "Ripping" a CD basically means to record the music from a CD and compress it into a digital format. This is the best way to get music on your MP3 player. You probably already have mountains of CDs lying around; from there you can make your own digital media with ease. Any media player will allow you to rip your collection as easily as inserting the CD into your computer. Each desktop media player is slightly different so you will have to refer to their help guide, but one adjustment you should make while paging through the guide would be to change the default rip setting. Make sure it is set to MP3 format and at 320kbps, ensuring the maximum compatibility with the best sound quality. This will also "future proof" your music, meaning that you will be able to upgrade MP3 players across brands without having to rerip your CDs, since all MP3 players support… MP3's of course.
Direct Download Purchases: Use caution here since problems with DRM can come up later. DRM is a protection scheme that will lock your content to a specific device. This may be okay for the short term, but when you go to upgrade your MP3 player (or even computer), your purchased content may not be transferable and you've lost a lot of music and the money that went to pay for it. It is best to avoid direct downloads with DRM protection. What you will want to look for, and it's well advertised, is "DRM Free" content. Amazon, eMusic, iTunes, and Zune Marketplace are the major stores that sell DRM-free content.
Subscription Music: That being said, there are some times when DRM is much easier to swallow. Some music stores such as Rhapsody, Napster, and Zune Marketplace offer a monthly All-You-Can-Download subscription plan. These plans work out well for the music lover who enjoys having access to a vast library of different kinds of music. Do keep in mind, however, that these songs are not yours to keep; you are merely renting them. Once you stop paying the monthly fee, the music will stop playing. If this is something that is of interest to you, you should select a player with an MTP or Zune transfer protocol. Apple does not yet offer a subscription service for the iPod.
Understanding these three aspects of an MP3 player will clear up the majority of trouble areas where new users often get tripped up. The rest is more of less personal preference. TestFreaks offers a fantastic set of research tools and information in the Media Player section including reviews from anytingbutipod.com.

INFORMATION SECURITY GUEST BLOG -- M URSULA HERRMANN When 'password1' just won't do for data safetyBy M URSULA HERRMANN 4:30 am, November 2, 2012
In the last few months, we've been hearing a lot about various sites that have had user password data compromised. Most of the compromise could have been avoided if the sites in question had been using the proper methods to protect users' passwords, but regardless of that, what was discovered was that a lot of the users in question were using weak and/or easily guessed passwords.

Tigers, Mariners meet for first time since April
Clubs have traveled opposite paths since they last played
The Tigers haven't played the Mariners since traveling to Seattle in mid-April, and will face a very different team in Monday's series opener. The Mariners regularly start a number of rookies who weren't on the club when the teams last met, and that number has been bolstered by September callups.
"They got quite a few new guys," manager Jim Leyland said. "I don't know much about them, other than what I see on TV. It seemed like we were in Boston two months ago, and that was only 10 days ago. We haven't seen those guys since April, and that's a long time plus a lot of the faces are new."
Detroit will face a familiar foe on the mound, however, in Joe Saunders. In nine career starts against the Tigers, the lefty has gone 1-2 with a 5.26 ERA.
Saunders has struggled of late, going 1-4 with a 7.53 ERA over his last seven starts. He lasted just three innings, while allowing seven hits and six runs, in a 13-2 loss to the Astros in his most recent outing.
"He's a great competitor, but I haven't seen the command," manager Eric Wedge said. "He still has the velocity on the fastball. You saw him get some good punchouts inside to right-handers -- which usually means if you're getting there, you're OK. He has made it difficult for himself, just going deep in counts and working counts."
Saunders will look to turn his recent slump around against a pitcher coming off one of the best games of his career. Rick Porcello tossed his first career complete game for the Tigers in his last start, allowing just one earned run.
"He's just getting more mature, and he's getting better," Leyland said. "He's learning how to make some adjustments when things aren't going right, as far as mentally and emotionally and learning how to slow things down a little bit."
Mariners: Brad Miller likely out against Tigers
• Shortstop Brad Miller will likely miss most of the Seattle's four-game series against the Tigers, after straining his left hamstring on Saturday. Rookie Carlos Triunfel will start in his place.
"He's sore and tight," Wedge said on Sunday. "We'll just take it day to day and see how he feels. But it's going to be at least a couple days."
Tigers: Iglesias out of the lineup on Sunday
• Shortstop Jose Iglesias was kept out of Sunday's series finale against the Royals with shin splints in both legs. Still, the Tigers' trainers say that the aches in the rookie's legs shouldn't affect his defensive range or his speed on the basepaths.
"I don't really understand when a guy has shin splints, I'm talking about from a medical standpoint, how a guy can run that fast," Leyland said. "But [the trainers] say he can."
Worth noting
• Felix Hernandez will throw a bullpen session on Monday at Comerica Park, as the Mariners test the minor oblique strain in his left side that has sidelined him since Sept. 2. If all goes well, Hernandez likely will start Wednesday's game, with Hisashi Iwakuma to follow on Thursday. But for now, starters for those two games are yet to be determined.
