Detox Foot Pads Patches & Adhesive Sheets
They are
directly from manufacturer in loose packs. Welcome to have a try with these
or buy more from our store!About Kinoki
Kinoki means 'Bamboo or Tree Sap'. The Kinoki brand seen in television ads is
a company branded by the same name. They are not the "original" nor are they
the "real" detox foot pads. They may be the first one entering market U.S.,
but the concept of detox pads has been around for centuries. Don't be
confused by sellers claiming the only "true" detox foot pad comes out of
Japan because China is the real country having a vast array of natural
resources to use for their superior quality detox foot pads. Most every detox
foot pad you see on the market today is manufactured using one of these
natural resources.
The Benefit of Kinoki Foot Pads
Through extensive research based on the natural healing powers of organic
substances produced by nature, it was discovered that wood and bamboo vinegar
extracts have the unique property of adsorbing harmful bodily toxins.
Scientists soon discovered by combining several of mother nature's most
powerful healing elements together it was possible to create a 100% organic
body defoxification formula that works wonders. The ingredients include
bamboo vinegar chitosan, dextrin, dokudami, loquat leaf, tourmaline,
vegetable fiber, Vitamin C and wood vinegar. Our high quality ingredients
offer the highest pure Tourmaline of 30% (1.50g of 5 ), which can generate
the negative ions and infra-red energy.
The benefits of using detox pads on a regular basis helps to prevent the
accumulation of toxins in the body, thus substantially reducing the chances
of illness and disease. A few of the many benefits of removing harmful body
toxins include:
* Feel energized
* Relieves Allergies (e.g. Asthma and other allergies)
* Normalizes Blood Pressure
* Relief of Arthritis or joint pains
* Reduces Water Retention
* Boosts the Immune System
* Increases Blood Circulation
How do Kinoki foot pads work
For hundreds of years, eastern medicine understood toxins traveled downwards
in the body accumulating in the tips of our toes and ankles. They also
understood that toxin accumulation lead to many degenerative diseases. For
example, painful rheumatism and arthritis were caused by acidic toxic fluids
gathering around the joints.
According to Chinese medical knowledge, our human body has over 360
acupuncture points, with more than 60 acupuncture points found on the soles
of the foot. Known as the second heart? They are the reflective zones of our
major internal organs, they are also potential homes for toxins. When the
blood circulates to the soles, the Foot Patch sachet can absorb toxins
released from the acupuncture points. The Foot Patch comes in a white sachet
that is applied to the soles of the feet. After only one night of body detox,
there may be significant changes to the smell and color of the sachet (from
brown to grayish black) as it reflects the amount and degree of toxins which
were extracted from the body. With continuous usage, there should be a
visible reduction in the stain and odor of the sachet.
Our detox foot pads contain natural ingredients which stimulate these
acupuncture points through the combined action of wood/bamboo vinegar, far-
infrared energy and negative ion emissions. This stimulation results in the
breakdown of water and waste molecules that free blockages in the circulatory
and lymphatic systems. Cleansing naturally begins in the soles of our feet.
The patches will absorb your toxin after using for whole night. You can see
that the changing of the colour after using it. More dirty you see, more
toxin it have absorb. After consistently using for a period, they will become
less dirty. That means most of the toxin in you body have gone out already.
You can also apply it on other parts of your body.
Item Details:
* Condition: Brand new
* Ingredients: Bamboo Vinegar, Wood Vinegar, Chitosan, Dokudami, Loquat
Leaf, Vitamin C, Vegetable fiber, Tourmaline, Dextrin, etc.
* Net Weight: 5g each pad
* Quantity: 10 pads sealed individually and 10 adhesive sheets, we sell
in loose packs
Directions For Use:
* 1. Wash and dry your feet or body part before applying detox patch.
Take one adhesive sheet and slowly peel off the paper.
* 2. Place the foot pad where noted "Please put adhesive sheet on this
side" on the adhesive sheet.
* 3. Stick and spread firmly onto the sole of your foot or the desired
area of other body part. For best results, put them on some time before
bedtime, you can wear them around the house if you sleep less than 8 hours.
* 4. Allow 8 to 12 hours for toxins to be fully absorbed from your body
before removing the Foot Patches. Once the patches have finished their job,
the powders will often change from a pale yellow to a brown/grey colour and
become slightly stiff and sticky. This change in colour and consistency
signifies that toxins have been removed into the patch.
* Foot Patches work best when placed on the soles of the feet. They can
be used any time but it is preferable overnight as you sleep. Socks worn over
the foot patches can help prevent kicking them off during the night.
* The Foot Patch should not be placed over open wounds, mucous membranes,
or around the eye area. The Foot Patch can however be very effectively placed
over other areas of the body where you are experiencing pain, discomfort or
swelling. When using on any area where the skin is naturally moist, oily,
curvy or prone to motion; it will help to use some form of adhesive tape or
similar product (band-aids or medical tape) to better ensure optimal contact
of the Takara Foot Patches with the skin. Additionally, the non-foil backing
of the patches ensures the potency and effectiveness of the ingredients, to
maximize your cleansing experience.
* If you are allergic, do not use these pads.

Former Alaska Governor and 2008 Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin will not be addressing the Republican National Convention being held in Tampa later this month according to a statement she released to the press on Sunday. Palin has been a wildly popular, if not polarizing, figure in the national political scene since running with John McCain in 2008.
Palin said in a statement released on Gretawire, the blog of Fox News's Greta Van Susteren:
"This year is a good opportunity for other voices to speak at the convention and I'm excited to hear them. Everything I said at the 2008 convention about then-candidate (Barack) Obama still stands today, and in fact the predictions made about the very unqualified and inexperienced community organizer's plans to 'fundamentally transform' our country are unfortunately coming true,"
Palin has decided to focus her strengths this election cycle on electing conservatives to the House and Senate as well as various governorships. She said in her statement that she fully supports the Republican ticket of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan and believes they are best suited to bring the country forward in the coming years.
Palin said that she wants to focus on the House and Senate "so a wise Congress is ready to work with our new president to get our country back on the right path."
National figures who have accepted speaking slots at the convention include Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, and Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee.
Mitt Romney will formally accept the nomination to challenge President Obama on August 30.

According to a survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly half of all U.S. children ages 2-9 suffer from some form of untreated tooth decay. While poor diet and lack of oral hygiene play a role in the findings, the study concludes that cavities are often disease related. The problem is especially acute in children from low-income families where dental care may be ignored due to financial reasons.
"Preventative dental care is key to maintaining healthy teeth, mouth and gums, and starting early with children can make a big difference in their future years," said Dr. Robert N. Pickron, founder of Pickron Orthodontic Care and a practicing orthodontist for 40 years. "Children should receive an orthodontic examination by age 7 – the time when their permanent front teeth are forming."
Among the problems that respond to early treatment are crossbites, underbites, crowding, spacing, thumb sucking habits and impacted teeth, he said.
"A child's first visit to the dentist should be when baby teeth form, when the child is about one year old," Pickron said. "Baby teeth, in place from about age 3 to 12, help the child chew, smile and speak. These early teeth are very important in the development of the face and jaws and are responsible for guiding and developing space for the permanent teeth. If lost prematurely, the permanent teeth are likely to come in crooked or not at all, causing serious problems and requiring expensive procedures to correct."

Patrol boat
A patrol boat is a relatively small naval vessel generally designed for coastal defense duties. There have been many designs for patrol boats. They may be operated by a nation's navy, coast guard, or police force, and may be intended for marine (blue water) and/or estuarine or river ("brown water") environments. They are commonly found engaged in various border protection roles, including anti-smuggling, anti-piracy, fisheries patrols, and immigration law enforcement. They are also often called upon to participate in rescue operations.

Notre Dame will be looking for its biggest win in years tonight as it takes on the No. 4-ranked Stanford Cardinal. Stanford has beaten Notre Dame two years in a row, winning last season's matchup by a 37-14 score in Notre Dame Stadium.
The Irish come into this game banged up. Three starters are out for the game (Jonas Gray, Braxston Cave, Kapron Lewis-Moore), another is doubtful (Theo Riddick), and two of Notre Dame's best defensive players (Ethan Johnson, Manti Te'o) are nowhere close to 100-percent. To make matters worse, freshman end Stephon Tuitt has been battling a serious illness and is unlikely to play tonight.
Notre Dame will have to play its best game of the season on both sides of the ball if it wants to beat Stanford. The Irish special teams will also have to make a strong appearance in this game if the Irish are going to pull off the upset.
It is possible for Notre Dame to win this game, but it will not be easy. If the Irish are able to pull off the win it will be the first November victory over a Top 10 opponent since Notre Dame beat No. 1 Florida State back in 1993.
Here are the keys to an Irish victory:
Notre Dame caught a lot of breaks last week against Boston College. Quarterback Tommy Rees threw one interception and was almost picked off on at least three other occasions. Rees was careless with the football, and the result was Boston College staying in the game thanks to Notre Dame's inability to put the ball in the end zone. He was fortunate that Boston College dropped a number of easy interceptions, as the Eagles could have easily won the game had they been able to convert his poor decisions and throws into turnovers. If Rees makes those same mistakes this week Stanford will make him pay. Turnovers in this game will result in a blowout. This puts Rees in a tough spot because Notre Dame cannot win without a big game from him, but he must also value the football and not turn it over. He has to make big plays but he also cannot force balls that lead to turnovers. If he is smart and accurate with the football Notre Dame can win the game, but if he turns it over like he has done most of the year the Irish don't stand a chance. The rest of the offensive players also have to stay within themselves and protect the football. Notre Dame has not had a skill player lose a fumble in quite some time, something that must continue tonight.
Rees made some good throws early in the game against Boston College, but he also made a number of poor decisions and throws. It was obvious from the outset that he was out-of-sync. Rees never really got into a rhythm with his decision making or his throwing ability. The sloppy play helped keep Boston College in the football game. Rees is truly the key to the Notre Dame offense. Notre Dame should be able to run the ball effectively, as it has done all season long. When Notre Dame has struggled offensively it has primarily been a result of Rees not playing well. When he struggles teams can focus more resources on the run game, which takes away the best weapon the offense has. Stanford will look to take away the Irish run game, and Rees has to make them pay. Rees is the type of player that needs a good start to have a good game. Rarely has he come out of the locker room scuffling only to see him turn himself around. When Rees plays well it is usually a result of him coming out of the locker room hot and then maintaining that level of play. Notre Dame must play well offensively if it wants to win the football game. It must also play well early if it wants to stay in this game, regardless of what Stanford does. The Cardinal have outscored opponents by a 209-103 margin in the first half, and the majority of their opponents have been out of the game by the half. If the Cardinal come out hot it will be up to Rees to match them and keep the Irish in the game. If the Cardinal come out scuffling and the Irish defense is able to keep them in check early it will be up to Rees and the offense to build an early lead as it prepares for what will certainly be a vicious comeback attempt. Stanford will eventually score points. Only once in the last two seasons has Stanford scored fewer than 30 points. That means Notre Dame has to score to win, and it only scores a lot when Rees plays well. Rees usually needs a hot start to play well, so getting him comfortable early in this game will be essential to a Notre Dame victory.
With the pass game struggling a bit over the last few weeks, the Notre Dame offense has become more of a between the tackles run team. The inside runs have set up the outside runs, which was the opposite of what made Notre Dame so successful running the ball early in the season. Notre Dame has also used more two tight end sets in the run game as it seeks to pound teams into submission. Stanford is a big and physical football team, so it will not be as easy for Notre Dame to line up tight and run the football between the tackles. Losing Jonas Gray also takes away Notre Dame's best inside runner. The loss of Braxston Cave at center also takes away a key weapon in Notre Dame's power run game. Michael Golic Jr. has done well at times in recent weeks, but has struggled against power players, something Stanford has plenty of. Golic will have to play well in this game if Notre Dame wants to run the ball effectively. Brian Kelly and Ed Warinner can help him, and the rest of the linemen, with their schemes and playcalling. When Stanford has struggled against the run it has come against teams that can spread the field and get Stanford's linebackers out of the box or off the field. When Stanford has to go to its nickel defense to match personnel teams are able to run on them. There are also a few formations that Notre Dame could use to exploit the Cardinal defense. There are also some motions and shifts Notre Dame can utilize to gain schematic and alignment advantages. The Irish linemen will have to be aggressive and block well on the runs out of the spread sets, but if they do they will open up run lanes for Cierre Wood to exploit. If Wood is given room to run he will gash the Cardinal defense. Running the ball is going to be key for Notre Dame. If Stanford is able to take away the Irish ground attack Notre Dame will struggle to win. Rees needs to help by playing well early (see point 2), but the Irish ground game also has to be effective early and often to take some of the pressure off Rees. Spreading the field and creating creases for Wood is the best way to get that done.
Stanford is going to try to force Rees to beat them deep, something most of Notre Dame's opponents have done of late. Rees has made a few throws throughout the season with the deep ball, but for the most part he has been a poor downfield passer. He has two of the best vertical players in the country in Michael Floyd and Tyler Eifert. When he gets them the ball accurately they have made big plays, but getting the ball to them accurately has been a major problem for him. Rees is a gamer, and with both games against USC aside, he has made big throws in most of Notre Dame's biggest games. If he can continue that trend tonight Notre Dame will have a chance. Getting the ball deep with accuracy is the secret weapon for Notre Dame in this football game. The Irish have serious matchup advantages over Stanford in the pass game. None of Stanford's cornerbacks can run with Floyd. None of Stanford's linebackers or safeties can run with Eifert. If Rees can take advantage of this talent advantage and hit them downfield with some accuracy early on it will result in huge plays for the Irish offense. If he is somehow able to find TJ Jones or Robby Toma downfield with legitimate big throws it will do serious damage to Stanford, as it will largely prevent them from focusing all of their pass game efforts on taking Floyd and Eifert out of the game. Hitting these shots downfield will not only result in big plays for Notre Dame, it also forces Stanford to show more respect to the Notre Dame deep ball. That takes Stanford out of their game plan, which opens up other opportunities for the Notre Dame offense. It will be virtually impossible or Stanford to stop the Notre Dame offense if the Irish are able to make plays downfield.
Stanford is going to come after Rees much like it did Dayne Crist a season ago. Stanford sacked Crist three times last September and the constant pressure forced him into a number of crucial mistakes. When teams have been able to pressure Rees they have been able to do the same thing to him. Fortunately for Notre Dame, few teams have been able to pressure Rees. He does a nice job getting rid of the ball quickly and the Notre Dame offensive line has been outstanding in protection all season long. Stanford has piled up a number of sacks this season, ranking No. 8 nationally in sacks. The Cardinal have put opposing quarterbacks on the ground 33 times this fall. They will not care that Notre Dame ranks No. 7 nationally in sacks allowed. They will attack Rees early and often. Kelly has to have a good plan to attack the Stanford pressure packages and blitzes. If Notre Dame has a good plan for the pressures they will be able to hurt Stanford and take advantage of its aggressiveness. This involves throwing behind them and running away from or underneath the blitz. Golic has to do a good job controlling the snap and not allowing Stanford to time its pressures. Finally, Rees has to stay poised in the face of the pressures, make good decisions with the football, and be accurate with his throws. If Rees handles the blitz well it will be a key factor in Notre Dame pulling off the upset.
The plan is simple, get after Luck early and often. Luck is no different from any other quarterback in that he cannot beat you when he is lying on his back. Of course, actually getting him on his back is extremely difficult. Stanford does not allow many sacks, giving up just nine on the season. If Notre Dame is able to put him on the ground with any kind of frequency it will go a long way to keeping the points down. Getting sacks is good, but it's not nearly as important as consistently pressuring Luck. When Luck gets comfortable in the pocket he is impossible to stop, and two or three random sacks is not going to get him out of rhythm. When teams have been able to get him moving when he doesn't want to, get him out of rhythm, and force him to guess more than he would like they have been able to force him into mistakes. Luck has thrown five interceptions in the last four games, and teams getting pressure on him has been the key. He has rushed more throws and when he rushes throws he tends to not see defensive players. This is something all quarterbacks, great or otherwise, have problems with. Notre Dame has not been a good pressure team this season. There have been times when the Irish have been excellent at attacking the quarterback (Michigan State, Wake Forest, Boston College), and when that happens the defense does quite well. The problem for Notre Dame has been it has rarely been able to get consistent pressure on quarterbacks. Part of the issue is scheme, as defensive coordinator Bob Diaco does not like to turn his front players loose. He has a number of talented pass rushers, led by freshman end Aaron Lynch and outside linebacker Darius Fleming. He has the talent to bring four and attack Luck, much like USC was able to do. He must, however, allow them to attack gaps and run around blockers instead of constantly trying to run through blockers. If he unleashes his pass rushers that will certainly play a big role in pressuring Luck. Designing and calling some good pressures helps as well. Diaco cannot blitz a ton against Stanford. When Luck gets a read on your blitzes from a timing and launch standpoint he will rip your defense. When you are able to keep him guessing as to when you will blitz and where you will blitz from he will makes mistakes. I want to see a nice pressure package from Diaco, one that emphasizes timing and effectiveness over quantity. If his blitzes are hitting him with frequency I am all for him calling more until Stanford learns how to stop it, but if his blitzes aren't hitting home early he will have to back off a bit. Blitzing and not getting to Luck will likely result in a huge play for the offense.
Stanford puts a lot of pressure on opposing linebackers. Stanford will run the ball early and often, pounding teams between the tackles and off-tackle. Notre Dame's linebacker will have to play well against the run if the Irish defense wants to help the team win the game. They will have to be aggressive attacking the line of scrimmage, they will have to be disciplined with their gap assignments, and they absolutely must wrap up well and not allow the Cardinal backs to pick up extra yards. What makes Stanford so dangerous is their potent play-action pass attack, which stresses linebackers a great deal. The Cardinal tore up the Notre Dame linebackers last season, completing pass after pass against the linebackers and safeties. The Irish linebackers have been very poor against the pass for much of the season. Stanford will certainly look to exploit that early and often. If the Notre Dame linebackers answer the challenge they will have a chance to limit Stanford's effectiveness. If Stanford is able to get its tight ends rolling over the middle the Irish defense will have a very, very long day. This is the stress Stanford puts on your defense. It forces your linebackers to have to play aggressively to stop the run, but also smart enough to know when to drop in order to find and stop the crossing routes and seam routes. It is hard to stop this, but if Notre Dame wants to win this game it will have to force misses in the play-action game.
This ties into point two in that Stanford is going to look to use its play-action game to attack the defense. This requires a defense to play disciplined football. If a player loses contain or shoots the wrong gap the result is often a huge play for the Stanford offense. Notre Dame has had issues this season keeping contain on the edge. If that happens again today Luck will have a field day throwing to the flats and running the ball himself. The inside linebackers also have to do a good job reading their keys and attacking their responsibilities. Inside linebacker Manti Te'o also has a tendency to get sucked inside against the run, and when he reads pass he does not get into his drops. He must respond better in this game and be more disciplined against the pass. He must have a big game for Notre Dame to beat Stanford and pull off the upset. This does not mean just racking up a lot of tackles. It means tackles plus big plays plus discipline in the pass game. This goes for the edge players as well. Notre Dame's safeties also have to be aggressive coming up against the run and guarding the Cardinal safeties. If they play well against the pass Notre Dame could pull this upset off. Stanford will also run trick plays like reverses, throwback passes, and "wildcat" runs. Notre Dame has to be aggressive attacking the Cardinal but also play with enough discipline to sniff out and stop the Cardinal trick plays.
Luck is a Heisman candidate and will likely be the first player drafted in April's NFL Draft. He has been greatly responsible for turning a dormant program into a legitimate national title contender. Stanford has gone 22-2 in the last two years and 30-6 with Luck as the starter. He is a great college football player, there is no doubt about that. But what truly drives the Stanford offense is its ability to run the football. Stanford has a great quarterback and talented tight ends, but they are not overly deep or talented at wide receiver. When Stanford is forced into obvious passing situations they do not have as many playmakers, which limits its effectiveness. When Stanford gets its ground game rolling and the Stanford pass catchers are put in more one-on-one situations the Cardinal are far more effective as an offense. Griff Whalen might not be the most talented pass catcher, but he is smart, has great hands, and runs tremendous routes. If he finds himself in a number of one-on-ones and Luck has time he will beat you over and over. When Whalen and the other Stanford pass catchers for forced to actually make a lot of plays they are not as good. If Notre Dame can limit Stanford's effectiveness on the ground and force Luck into more obvious pass situations it helps the defense tremendously. It makes the play-action passes less effective and also allows Notre Dame to turn up the pressure on Luck.
This is an easy point to make. Notre Dame cannot allow Stanford to get a big early lead. Their ability to run the football and limit big plays makes them extremely difficult to come back against. Notre Dame has to keep them off the board as much as possible early. Stanford will get their points, but the Irish defense has to make Stanford work for those points. If they get 30 to 35 points Notre Dame can still win the game as long as Stanford's points come gradually and throughout the game. If they have over 20 points by the half or get a multi-score lead early in the game the odds of pulling off the upset dramatically decrease. Stanford is also not a great come-from-behind team for many of the same reasons they are so good at playing with the lead. If Notre Dame's offense comes out hot and the defense can keep Stanford off the board the Irish can get a big early lead, which would be a best-case scenario for Notre Dame in this win.

The crying game.
As in my first trimester I am back to crying. I had my last appointment before my due date today still at 1.5cm 50% effaced. I can't get more that 2 hours in a row of sleep, and I'm in pain. I'm so tired and frustrated. On a positive note baby is good. But I was crying as I left the office today my body feels withered I can't do anything for myself anymore. I can't even turn over with out help. I can't fight the tears. I feel awful, and guilty for complaining.

staceoneill saysI feel the same...even sleep isnt a relief any more. The only way I feel comfortable now is in a hot bath tub to soothe my hips and back. I barely slept last night, somehow made it through with little naps rather and today I was SO moody I was on the verge of tears and screaming in fustration. My poor little dog is home with me and she was avoiding me like the plague...I just want pregnancy to be over!!!
KnockedUp39 saysI had a good long cry yesterday, too. Just overtired, super uncomfortable, and it's hard to cope with everyday stresses when you feel so miserable. Then I had a big poop and felt a lot better (seriously, helped my abdominal pain a lot). lol OMG pregnancy makes us CrAzY.
Nixyspell saysI'm sorry you're dealing with this! I don't think you should be feeling guilty for having these feelings! It's all the hormones and the fact that pregnancy can seems to go on forever! I can completely understand and the end is one of the hardest parts of pregnancy I believe. You'll make it through! |
Jillian1stTimeMom83 saysDefinitely nothing to feel guilty about. Pregnancy can be HARD, especially when it's so close to the end and meeting baby. Remember, some women go from 0 or 1cm dilated to 10 very quickly once active labour starts and some (like me!) can walk around 4 or 5 cm dilated for weeks. It's tough not seeing progress, but that doesn't mean things are further away for you. Try to take good care of yourself as best you can. Sorry you're so uncomfortable and fatigued, sending positive thoughts your way.
Hollasaki saysI agree with PP. Absolutely no reason for guilt! Hang in there momma, you're almost there. When I get emotional, I take a deep breath, and visualize being able to hold, smell and kiss my baby.
This is the most challenging part of pregnancy. You're body is no longer "regular". Movement, speed, agility and bodily functions are no longer controllable. And if they are controllable its slower than normal and highly uncomfortable. I wish you all the best, happy and positive energy! |
MrsN412 saysThanks so much for the support. I find myself fearing things too now, like cesarean and complications. I feel like I'm losing my mind. I've had a healthy pregnancy to date.
Shorarawi saysMy dr. Asked to check me at my last appt and i said lets do it next week ( i will be 39 and 4 days by then ) with my first i went into labour and i went to see my dr.that morning around 10:30 am and she checked me and i was 1 cm then my husband said lets go to the hospital to check the entrance to labour and delivery and the nurse there asked to check me again and we said no need coz the we just been to the our dr. And we r here just to check the entrance and she insist to see me and by the time they had me in and change my clothes they checked me and i was 4 cm and they kept me that was around 11:30 then i had my baby at 6:49 that day
Good luck i hope it won't be long for us from now |
Hollasaki saysFear is ok. I'm sure every one gets those anxious what ifs! I'm terrified of having to be cut or tearing.
And also csection if things get complicated. But then I take a step back and realize that I'm in good hands. The doctors and nurses and OB's will be there making the right decisions when needed. At this stage over analyzing and just plain thinking seems like that's all do. No work, difficult to get together with friends, because by the time they're finished work you need a nap! I'm keeping busy by slowly putting together frozen meals. And healthy hospital snacks/meals. Also writing thank you cards to those that provided gifts. Keep your mind and body busy. I know it's hard to move. But everything in moderation :) keep pushing forward momma! |
malloria saysI completely understand where you are coming from... At my 40 week appointment I was 50% effaced and 4cm dialated an +1 station... I was in and out of L&D because of severe back pain. My ob refused to induce. I couldn't walk without help an was sleeping maybe 2 hours a day. I broke down in the on office at my appointment and it continued all day. I felt totally helpless and then the fear of baby's health etc kicked in too. The ob told me that I needed to relax and pamper myself a bit so the next 2 days I did. On the Friday (2nd day Of pampering) I felt so relaxed and at ease. At 5pm I felt Braxton hicks that were making me nauseated so my husband said lets go to L&D and maybe the ob on call can help. I got to L&D at 530pm and was Told to sit in the family waiting room because there were no beds. About 20 mins later I was screaming in pain they put me in a delivery room to access me and when they checked me I was 6cm 100%..the nurses went to get me an epidural when all of a sudden my water broke they checked me again and I was 10cm. Within 5 minutes I needed to push .. I pushed for 3 minutes and my baby girl was here. She was born at 619pm. Trust me babies come when they are ready :) you're almost there! I wish you all the best!

News: Aldridge put up a monster double-double with 20 points and 15 rebounds Friday against the Jazz. He added four assists and two steals in 29 minutes of action. | Impact: Aldridge has been a beast over his last five games, averaging 27.4 points (57 percent FG, 83 percent FT), 10.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.2 steals during that span. He should continue to produce well and should be deployed in all formats until further notice.(RotoWire, ) |
Thu. Dec 5, 2013 | |
News: Aldridge put up a monster performance, scoring 38 points (17-28 FG, 4-4 FT), grabbed 13 rebounds and dishing out five assists in 37 minutes, as the Blazers stayed hot with a win over Oklahoma City on Wednesday. | Impact: Aldridge has always been a special talent, but he's off to an even better start in 2013-14, and the Blazers are starting to look like they're a legitimate contender. Although he's taking slightly more shots than usual, his field goal percentage is actually on pace for a career low. Thus, there's really no reason to suggest he can't keep this up.(RotoWire, ) |
Thu. Dec 5, 2013 | |
News: Aldridge had a season-high 38 points and added 13 rebounds and the Portland Trail Blazers snapped Oklahoma City's eight-game winning streak with a 111-104 victory over the Thunder on Wednesday night. | Impact: Aldridge is averaging 29.3 points on 58.3 percent shooting in the last four games.(STATS, 00:40am) |
Mon. Dec 2, 2013 | |
News: Aldridge scored 28 points (11-19 FG, 6-8 FT) to go along with 10 rebounds and three assists in 37 minutes Monday. | Impact: It was just another day at the office for Aldridge, who owners now count on to put up a 20-10 line every time Portland plays. The 28-year-old is having a career year for the surprisingly-dominant Trail Blazers, and neither he nor the team are showing any signs of slowing down.(RotoWire, ) |
Mon. Dec 2, 2013 | |
News: Aldridge just missed his third double-double in four games finishing with 27 points and nine rebounds in Sunday's win over the Lakers. | Impact: Aldridge continues to enjoy a stellar season, averaging a career-high 22.4 points and 9.5 rebounds.(STATS, 01:26am) |
Dec 1, 2013 | |
News: Aldridge scored 27 points (11-19 FG, 5-6 FT) and grabbed nine rebounds in Sunday's win over the Lakers. | Impact: Aldridge continues to perform at an elite level, averaging a career-high 22.4 points and 9.5 rebounds. He's scored in double-figures in all 17 of Portland's games, while also providing 1.0 blocks and 1.3 steals.(RotoWire, ) |
Thu. Nov 28, 2013 | |
News: Aldridge had 24 points but matched a season-low with four rebounds in Wednesday's loss at Phoenix. | Impact: Aldridge's 10-of-18 shooting night was a welcome sight for owners after he went 18 for 61 over his previous three games.(STATS, 00:25am) |
Wed. Nov 27, 2013 | |
News: Aldridge scored 24 points (10-18 FG, 4-5 FT) and grabbed four rebounds in 37 minutes during Wednesday's loss to Phoenix. | Impact: Aldridge is having a fantastic all-around season, and although that wasn't the case Wednesday, he still poured in 24 points on a solid night shooting. Wednesday was just one of those nights for Aldridge, he's still a lock to play nearly 40 minutes per game and be an integral part of this offense.(RotoWire, ) |
Tue. Nov 19, 2013 | |

Colts players shave heads in support of Chuck Pagano

08:52 AM ET 11.07 | In an incredible gesture to show solidarity within the organization and to show their support of head coach Chuck Pagano who is battling leukemia, members of the Indianapolis Colts have shaved their heads. Doctors said earlier this week that Pagano's leukemia is in remission but the head coach began his second round of chemotherapy on Monday. Colts owner Jim Irsay sent out a tweet to let people know that the players were shaving their heads. Some members of the Colts organization - long snapper Matt Overton, punter Pat McAfee and kicker Adam Vinatieri - all participated in the head shaving and showed off their new bald looks to support their ball coach. Overton sent out an image from his official Twitter page with the hashtag "#ChuckStrong."
Wow, a fantastic show of support. The way this team is coming together I see only good things for em'.
53 bald headed, highly motivated players walking onto the field with a scowl might be somewhat intimidating.
I'm looking forward to seeing them play the Pats, a week from Sunday.

I won't be convinced until the beat a team that's actually very good (and no, I don't count the Packers as very good. Without Rodgers they're probably 4-12).

Do you find every brand wants you to join their club or loyalty scheme these days? Supermarkets Woolworths and Coles have their Flybuys and Everyday Rewards programmes. Qantas, Virgin and virtually every other airline has a frequent flyer scheme. Nespresso Coffee Machines even have a 'club' that you are asked to join though one of our writers has been a member for 3 years and received no benefit from the club whatsoever.
Why do brands have loyalty schemes?
1) To get you to spend more than you should
The more obvious reason is that you will continue to spend with the brand whose scheme you have joined, perhaps spending more or even ignoring cheaper prices elsewhere in order to get more airmiles or points.
2) To get your details and information about how you live and spend
The less obvious reason to many consumers is that the relatively small rewards that you are given for spending consistently with one brand are really small compared with the value of the data that you provide in exchange.
When you join the scheme the brand gets to know who you are, where you live, how you spend, where and when – very valuable data especially when they have thousands of members and can aggregate the data to see how the population as a whole is behaving.
What do they do with your details?
As an example, Flybuys Privacy Statement says "We collect your personal information to administer and improve flybuys, conduct product and market research, and analyse your purchasing and online activity relating to flybuys and Participants … We may share your information with Participants and with Wesfarmers Ltd and its related bodies corporate for these purposes…"
So what is my information worth?
It's difficult to put a $ value – but probably much more than you think. The buzz word in marketing and sales these days is "big data" – how can companies analyse what they know about their existing customers (rather than new) to sell them more products or make them spend more? Your data is fundamental to the future of these companies.
Ransom note – what should the consumer do?
Only join loyalty schemes or clubs if you are getting a benefit that has some value to you.
If the scheme has no obvious benefits to you then do not join.
If you have not received any benefit after a few months then leave and make sure your loyalty scheme details, login or card are not used any more.
Addition 21 November 2012
How much do Google and Facebook profit from your data?
This interesting article puts your worth at anything between $1.68 and $700 USD.

Background There are 3 new topical treatments for herpes labialis that have either been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (penciclovir cream [Denavir] and n-docosanol cream [Abreva]) or recently undergone extensive clinical evaluation (acyclovir cream). The relative efficacy of these products is unknown.
Objective To compare the efficacy of penciclovir cream, acyclovir cream, n-docosanol cream, and acyclovir ointment in an experimental animal model of cutaneous herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) disease.
Design The backs of guinea pigs were infected with HSV-1 using a vaccination instrument. Active treatments and corresponding vehicle controls were applied for 3 to 5 days beginning 24 hours after inoculation.
Main Outcome Measures After completion of treatment, the animals were killed and the severity of the infection assessed from the number of lesions, the total lesion area, and the lesion virus titer.
Results Penciclovir cream effected modest reductions in lesion number (19%), area (38%), and virus titer (88%) compared with its vehicle control, and each of these differences was significantly greater (P<.05) than the reductions effected by acyclovir ointment (0%, 21%, and 75%, respectively). The acyclovir cream effect (reductions of 4%, 28%, and 77%, respectively) was less than that of penciclovir cream, and this difference was confirmed by 2 additional head-to-head experiments. Two experiments with n-docosanol cream failed to show statistically significant differences by any parameter between n-docasonol cream and vehicle control–treated sites or between n-docosanol and untreated infection sites.
Conclusions In this model, the efficacy of penciclovir cream was greater than acyclovir cream, acyclovir cream was greater than or equal to acyclovir ointment, and acyclovir ointment was greater than n-docosanol cream. Since our model was designed to evaluate compounds that function primarily through antiviral activity, the negative findings with n-docosanol in these studies do not exclude that it might work clinically through other mechanisms.
FOLLOWING a period of uncertainty regarding efficacy,1,2 antiviral treatments for herpes labialis have been approved by regulatory agencies in the United States and other countries. In the United States, acyclovir ointment (Zovirax Ointment) is approved for use in immunocompromised patients and penciclovir cream (Denavir) for use in otherwise healthy adults.3,4 In other countries, 1 or more ethical drug treatments, including penciclovir cream, acyclovir cream,5 and idoxuridine in dimethyl sulfoxide,6 are generally available. There is experimental evidence that high-dose peroral nucleoside analogue therapy may be highly effective, possibly because of delivery of high concentrations of drug to the site of the infection.7 A multitude of treatments are available over the counter, with claims based on the potential of the ingredients to reduce lesion pain or promote wound healing through occlusion.
Because of the large number of patients and the expense required to conduct a therapeutic trial in herpes labialis, it is unlikely that the relative clinical efficacy of these various treatments will ever be determined. The dorsal cutaneous guinea pig model is a well-standardized animal model of cutaneous herpes disease and permits an experimental approach to this question. Drug efficacy in the model correlates with antiviral activity and skin penetration.8,9 Guinea pig skin is generally more permeable to nucleoside drugs than human skin, but the relative order of permeation of different compounds appears to be the same.10,11
The present report describes 2 sets of experiments in the guinea pig model. In the first experiment, we compared penciclovir cream, acyclovir cream, and acyclovir ointment with vehicle controls. In the second group of experiments, we examined the efficacy of a new over-the-counter agent, n-docosanol cream (Abreva). The results are correlated with the efficacy of other treatments in the model and the outcome of clinical trials.
Both 10% and 12% n-docosanol cream and 10% and 12% stearic acid–supplemented vehicle controls were provided by Lidak Pharmaceuticals (La Jolla, Calif). The 10% n-docosanol cream is now marketed over the counter as Abreva by GlaxoSmithKline (Research Triangle Park, NC). The 5% acyclovir cream (Zovirax Cream [Europe]), 5% acyclovir ointment (Zovirax Ointment), and their corresponding vehicles were provided by GlaxoWellcome (Research Triangle Park, NC). The 1% penciclovir cream (Denavir [United States], Vectavir [Europe]) and its vehicle were provided by SmithKline Beecham (King of Prussia, Pa).
The virus was the laboratory strain HSV-1 E115, originally obtained from Andre Nahmias, MD, MPH (Emory, Ga), and used in our model since 1980.11,12 Virus stock for inoculation of guinea pigs contained 1 × 108 plaque-forming unit (pfu)/mL and was prepared in mink lung cells (MV-1-Lu, American Type Culture Collection).
Hartley strain, outbred, female, albino guinea pigs, weighing approximately 500 g each, were obtained from Charles River Breeding Laboratories Inc, Wilmington, Mass. During treatment, animals were housed in individual cages. Before inoculation and again immediately before experimental virus lesion assessment, the hair was removed from the animal dorsum with a chemical depilatory.
Test compounds were evaluated for irritation on the depilated, uninfected dorsum of guinea pigs. Test compounds and their vehicles were each applied at 3 different sites once per day, 2 times per day, and 4 times per day for 3 days and evaluated for irritation on the morning of the fourth day using an irritation score of 0 to 4. A score of 4 indicated severe erythema with punctate bleeding. A mean score of 2.5 or greater indicated that the compound and/or its vehicle at that dosing frequency caused sufficient irritation to compromise assessment of the viral infection and potentially affect the outcome of the experiment.
Guinea pigs were inoculated with HSV-1 E115 (day 0) in 4 different areas on the depilated dorsum, right and left midback, and right and left rump by multiple shallow punctures with a vaccination instrument as originally performed by Hubler et al.13 Between 40 and 60 discrete lesions developed at each of the 4 infection sites. Test treatments were begun 24 hours after inoculation (day 1) and given 1 to 4 times per day at 8 AM, noon, 4 PM, and 8 PM, depending on dermal irritation, for a total of 3 days. The day after completion of treatment (day 4), the dorsum of each animal was again depilated, and the severity of infection at each site was assessed from the number of lesions, the total lesion area, and titer of virus in the excised infection site. The procedures have been described in detail elsewhere.12
Paired data (drug and drug vehicle) were evaluated by the Wilcoxon signed rank test. To compare 2 drugs with one another, efficacies were expressed as the percent difference in a lesion severity measure (lesion number, area, or virus titer) between the active formulation and its control and tested by a Mann-Whitney rank sum procedure. All probability determinations were 2-tailed, and P≤.05 was considered significant.
Penciclovir and acyclovir creams were examined for efficacy in relationship to their corresponding vehicles, which were applied at contralateral infection sites. Acyclovir ointment and the ointment vehicle were studied concurrently as a control. The different drug formulations were compared with one another using the percentage of improvement in lesion severity measures from the drug vs drug vehicle assessments. Each treatment was evaluated at 12 different infection sites on the guinea pig dorsum as described in the "Materials and Methods" section. Treatments were only applied once a day because both cream formulations were irritating to guinea pig skin. The results are shown in Table 1.
Penciclovir cream had the greatest effect. Reductions in lesion number (19%), area (38%), and virus titer (88%) were demonstrated in comparison to the vehicle, and each of these differences was significantly greater (P<.05) than the reductions effected by acyclovir ointment (0%, 21%, and 75%, respectively). The acyclovir cream effect on lesion parameters (reductions of 4%, 28%, and 77%, respectively) was less than that of penciclovir cream and similar in magnitude and not significantly different from those of acyclovir ointment. The differences between acyclovir and penciclovir cream reached statistical significance for virus titer (P<.05).
To further examine the potential differences between penciclovir and acyclovir cream, the 2 treatments were compared directly with one another in 2 additional experiments. Treatments were only applied once a day because both formulations were irritating to guinea pig skin. The results are shown in Figure 1. In both experiments, penciclovir cream–treated sites had fewer mean numbers of lesions than at acyclovir cream–treated sites (46-49 vs 52-56, respectively) and a smaller mean lesion area (197-219 vs 258-280 mm2, respectively). Three of these 4 differences were statistically significant (P<.05). There was no difference between the 2 treatments in the mean lesion virus titer.
Penciclovir cream and acyclovir cream were compared directly with one another in 2 separate experiments. The 2 treatments were applied opposite each other at 12 contralateral infection sites in experiment 1 and 16 sites in experiment 2. There were no vehicle controls. The treatments were only applied once a day because acyclovir and penciclovir cream were irritating to guinea pig skin. pfu indicates plaque-forming unit. The asterisk designates when the difference between penciclovir cream and acyclovir cream was statistically significant.
Two separate experiments were done to evaluate the potential efficacy of n-docosanol cream. Because the formulation lost its consistency when n-docosanol was removed, the sponsor provided a vehicle control in which stearic acid was added, which gave the preparation a similar turgor and appearance to the active formulation. The vehicle with stearic acid proved to be highly irritating and could only be applied once per day, whereas n-docosanol cream was tolerated at a maximum dosing frequency of 3 times per day. After consultation with the sponsor, the first experiment was performed in which 10% n-docosanol cream was applied 3 times per day for 3 days and compared with untreated infection sites. Acyclovir ointment and ointment control were applied 4 times per day for 3 days, our standard comparator regimen in this model. The results are shown in Table 2. Acyclovir ointment effected statistically significant reductions in all lesion parameters compared with the ointment vehicle control, whereas n-docosanol had no effect. The amount of reduction in the mean lesion area by acyclovir ointment was 22%.
To further explore the potential activity of n-docosanol, a second experiment was performed in which the concentration of n-docosanol was increased to 12%, the duration of treatment was increased from 3 to 5 days, and efficacy parameters were assessed on 3 days (days 4, 5, and 6) instead of just on day 4. The 12% stearic acid–supplemented cream was used as the vehicle control. Acyclovir ointment and ointment control were again included as comparators. All treatments were applied 3 times per day for 5 days. The results are shown in Figure 2. Acyclovir ointment was effective on all 3 days, whereas n-docosanol showed no benefit. The amount of reduction in the mean lesion area by acyclovir ointment on days 4, 5, and 6 was 23%, 31%, and 28%, respectively.
Comparison of 12% n-docosanol and acyclovir ointment with vehicle controls at 3 different time points. The vehicle control for n-docosanol was a 12% stearic acid–supplemented cream. There were 12 infection sites per treatment group. Day 0 was the day of infection. The treatments were applied 3 times per day for 3 to 5 days beginning on day 1. Efficacy measurements were done on the morning of days 4, 5, and 6. Assessments of lesion virus titers were only performed on day 6. pfu indicates plaque-forming unit. The asterisk designates when the difference between the test drug and its vehicle control was statistically significant.
The relative efficacy of the treatments tested in this study was penciclovir cream greater than acyclovir cream greater than or equal to acyclovir ointment greater than n-docosanol cream. Total lesion area, the major clinical parameter in the guinea pig model,9 was reduced 38%, 28%, 21%, and 0%, respectively, by these treatments. Prior studies14 with 15% idoxuridine in dimethyl sulfoxide in this model have shown a reduction in lesion area of 80%. Each of these products has also been evaluated in clinical trials as therapy for herpes labialis with lesion healing time as the primary efficacy variable.1,4,6,15- 17 The efficacy values for these 5 treatments in the guinea pig model and in clinical trials against herpes labialis in normal hosts are compared in Table 3.
As shown in Table 3, the rank order of results with different compounds in our model generally parallels the rank order of results in clinical trials. Infection in the model is roughly twice as sensitive to the antiviral treatments as is herpes labialis and so exaggerates the degree of efficacy compared with the outcome in the human condition. This is, in part, because dorsal cutaneous HSV guinea pig disease is a primary infection, whereas herpes labialis is a recrudescence. In the latter instance, the secondary immune response truncates the course of the illness and abbreviates the window of opportunity for chemotherapy. Awan et al21 have convincingly demonstrated the negative impact of the immune response on drug efficacy by studies of topical anti-HSV therapy in mice with and without the adoptive transfer of HSV-sensitized mononuclear cells.
It is possible that the dosing regimen of acyclovir cream was not optimal in our animal experiments. Specifically, more frequent dosing of acyclovir cream might have been associated with greater efficacy. The potential impact of dosing frequency on comparative studies of penciclovir and acyclovir in animal models has been previously reported22 and may be related to differences in the stability of the intracellular triphosphate metabolites of the 2 drugs. In the present experiments, skin irritation limited treatment applications to once a day.
Evidence from the experimental model and in vitro studies of drug penetration through animal and human skin samples11,23 showed that better drug delivery significantly improved efficacy and that we were in the early portion of a dose-response curve with our current therapies for cutaneous HSV infection. To some extent, this is apparent in the clinical trials of topical formulations (Table 3). To further substantiate this principle in herpes labialis, we compared 3 different doses of peroral famciclovir in the treatment of UV radiation–induced recurrences. There was a significant dose-response effect, indicating that higher peroral doses of antiviral agents or topical formulations providing improved intraepidermal drug penetration are strategies that should be explored in the treatment of herpes labialis.7
There has been considerable controversy recently concerning the potential effect of the vehicle comparator arm on the apparent efficacy of topical antiherpetic compounds in clinical trials.18,24 Treatment advocates have claimed that the vehicles have efficacy, therefore reducing the overall benefit of the formulation compared with an untreated control arm. Potential mechanisms of vehicle efficacy include antiviral activity, acceleration of wound healing by occlusion, and the eschar-dissolving potential of vehicle solvents such as propylene glycol. It is also possible that drug vehicles could have an adverse effect on lesion severity, for example, by skin irritation, such that the efficacy of a treatment would be exaggerated by drug-drug vehicle comparisons. These issues are best examined experimentally, because the placebo effect in human studies makes it difficult to interpret a trial in which one group of patients has not received treatment.
The issue of vehicle effects is of importance in the case of n-docosanol cream. The n-docosanol cream formulation loses its consistency when n-docosanol is omitted. To conduct clinical trials, it was necessary to have a vehicle that matched the active formulation in appearance, and this was accomplished by adding stearic acid. A small pilot trial (n = 63) that used a stearic acid–containing vehicle control showed efficacy,25 but a subsequent much larger study (n = 846) found no benefit.17 Because of a concern that the vehicle may have had a beneficial effect on herpes labialis and masked an effect by n-docosanol, a polyethylene glycol control formulation was prepared. The clinical trials were repeated using polyethylene glycol as the control, and a 15% reduction in lesion healing time in the n-docosanol arm recently was reported.18 The differing trial results and the complicated issue of vehicle effects as a potential explanation for the differences make it hard to evaluate this product.
In the present studies, n-docosanol cream was examined in several ways. When compared against untreated lesion sites, no clinical or antiviral activity was seen (Table 2). When compared against a stearic acid–containing vehicle on multiple days, again no clinical or antiviral activity was found. In the latter experiment, acyclovir ointment and ointment control (polyethylene glycol) were run as comparators. There were no significant differences in any measure between the stearic acid–containing n-docosanol vehicle and polyethylene glycol ointment, indicating that stearic acid was inactive in this model. In summary, despite reports of n-docosanol antiviral activity in vitro,26 we found that both n-docosanol and stearic acid were inactive as antiviral agents against experimental cutaneous HSV lesions in the dorsal cutaneous guinea pig model. Since our model was designed to evaluate compounds that function primarily through antiviral activity, our studies do not exclude the possibility that n-docosanol cream might have beneficial effects on herpes labialis through other mechanisms, such as stimulation of wound healing or anti-inflammatory properties.27

The article says this will be available standard on all new Ford Fusion Hybrids. Pretty neat. I think they could have done a lot more with it (I don't understand why they still use a gauge like that, at least color it in or something) but still I have been waiting for displays like this in a car for a long time. It would be even better if they would give developers an API, but that's just wishful thinking.
I have talked about sparklines before and this seems to be a very well done implementation of them in Flex. Putting this out there for me as much as anyone else. See also: Flex Spinner.
You have seen Minority Report, now see the real tech that it inspired. Slashdot has a discussion about it too, although in typical fashion the majority of that crowd seems unimpressed. I say this is some pretty cool tech with a lot of possibilities for large data set visualization. Bottom line, I want to play with it.

Best meal ever . Cecelia can you cook up a scoff! On the deck with a glass of wine and the sun setting. It does not get any better . Thank you for great Newfoundland evening.
My husband, son and myself enjoyed a lovely meal on Labour Day weekend. The service and food were exceptional and the personal attention we received was very much appreciated by our family. We would recommend that anyone travelling to Trinity, have a meal here.
Booked in for dinner here as a convenience since we were staying at the inn. It was a lovely and delicious dinner. The servers were charming and helpful, and the food was delicious. If the scalloped potatoes are on the menu when you eat there, order them. Trust me.
Lovely little restaurant sure to contribute to the Trinity tourist experience. We also stayed with them as well and everything went smoothly. Excellent service all round and a real find in such an out of the way place. Highly recommended!
Candlelit with white tablecloths but still causal & very comfortable. Sheila, our server, made us feel welcome & she was very attentive. Nothing instant here- the mashed potatoes were "real" & the wine list excellent.
We were visiting the Trinity area on a three family, "Family" vacation. Two of the couples decided we would like to have a night out at this restaurant as it would not be big enough to accommodate a group of six adults and four young children under 5 years old without disrupting any other diners. We were lucky enough to... More
Warm ambiance, delicious meals, lovely staff. Even blankets provided to enjoy the deck before our meal.
We had a 5:30 booking in the fully booked dining room. The menu offered two choices of appetizer and main course and a dessert of Newfoundland berry pudding with Screech sauce. The carrot and orange soup was very nice and the green salad with cranberries and nasturtium was small but colourful. We all chose the hazelnut encrusted salmon with dauphinoise... More
It was fun going to the Twine Loft for dinner; they offer a three-course meal (appy, entrée, plus dessert and coffee or tea) for $39. The food was good, if not over-the-top divine, and there was so much of it that my friends and I all ate our leftovers for dinner the next night.

How piracy helps the music industry
The Wall Street Journal yesterday had an interesting piece [Sub. req'd] on the value of piracy to the music industry. No, not in Tim O'Reilly's classic 'Piracy is progressive taxation' sense, but rather in figuring out what people actually want to hear.
Earlier this year, Clear Channel Communications Inc.'s Premiere Radio Networks unit began marketing data on the most popular downloads from illegal file-sharing networks to help radio stations shape their playlists. The theory is that the songs attracting the most downloads online will also win the most listeners on the radio, helping stations sell more advertising. In turn, the service may even help the record labels, because radio airplay is still the biggest factor influencing record sales....… Read more

Featured Book The Path, Vol. 2 No. 2 by Mary Nickum
An interesting and slightly scary article by Tom Barlow from walletpop.com suggests that it's technically possible for crooks to guess the SSNs of Americans by using publicly available information. Two reseachers attempted to do this and were moderately successful, partly because each state is assigned its own first three digits. Also, the next two digits are sequentially assigned, as are the last four digits. Furthermore, they were able to access the publicly available Master Death File (yes, there is such a thing, although you have to purchase access to it) which is kept by the Social Security Administration. The third piece of information the researchers acquired were the dates and birth locations of test subjects. They were able to not only purchase this information from brokers, but simply go to Facebook and other social networking sites. The reseachers wouldn't divulge their exact method of identifying the subjects' correct SSNs, nor were they a hundred percent accurate by any means, but apparently it wasn't all that difficult for them to establish the correct number within a reasonably small range.
The good news is that the government is planning to randomize the issuing of new numbers starting June 25th of this year. To read the whole article go to, http://www.walletpop.com/2011/01/09/crooks-can-guess-digits-in-your-social-security-number-study-sa/
Meanwhile, an article on klfy.com reports that you can have your identity stolen simply by walking through an airport or store these days. Apparently, a new scanner can pick up info through RFID waves which are put out by some credit and debit cards, and your passport. Yikes! So far, it's not a huge problem, but what about the future? You can find the brief story at http://www.klfy.com/Global/story.asp?S=13819435
If airport travel isn't stressful enough, it seems that fake WiFi connections are making travelers more vulnerable to ID theft also. Apparently, it doesn't take much for a hacker with an iPhone or mobile device to have the capacity to create a WiFi hot spot. All he has to do is advertise a free connection for the unsuspecting traveler to use. When the traveler becomes connected to the bad guy's computer and happens to be banking or using passwords, the criminal can easily collect all that data.
