Beautiful plug
Reviewed: November 11, 2014 by MasterNomad, a Straight Married Male
Bought this for my wife as a lot of the solid butt plugs have quite a steep angle at the tip end. I loved the look of this, and the solid metal increased the wow factor somehow.
The first thing we noticed when opening the small case that it comes in, was just how heavy it was, and wondered whether it was going to be a problem. It wasn't.
With a bit of lube, the plug glided in beautifully. It looks stunning when inserted, so I made my wife walk round the house for a bit with it in. To her credit, it stayed in, though there were a couple of moments where she shot her hand back as it felt like it was about to drop. She'll learn I'm sure!
- Pros
- Design, quality and case.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- A beautiful heavy plug suitable for all levels.

Solid Steel Perfection
Reviewed: September 27, 2014 by Just Jenson
I managed to get this on the 3 for £75 deal coupled with an additional discount voucher, so was very pleased indeed with Lovehoney's fantastic offering!
As always, packaging with on time and discreet. I simply couldn't wait to get this out of the box into into my hands and other places. ;-)
I have previously purchased the dildo version of this and was completely blown away by its quality, so half-knew what to expect, and pleased to say this didn't not disappoint at all... In fact, it completely blew my expectations out of the water!
Firstly, it comes in a novel storage box as pictured (yes it really does!), which is always a nice touch. Although I don't keep it in this box, as I have storage pitches and a large storage box, the case it comes with is a cool touch.
Now, speaking of cool touches, this stainless steel wonder is very cool to the touch. Cold, hard steel... highly polished to a mirror effect and completely smooth all over.
When I took it out of the box, I was once again blown away by the weight of it. I was then panicked about the fingerprints I left on its shiny surface!
This little guy is seriously heavy for what it is, and for me that completely adds to the attraction of the toy. Even without the weight, it is an exquisite masterpiece with its simplicity and design.
Being made of steel, any lube does the job, my preference being coconut oil, and it slides in very easily. The cold is a delight and it quickly warms with body heat. It is not very wide so insertion is pretty straight forward and the neck is narrow so there is no stretch which makes it very comfortable to wear. The silver ball at the bottom end (excuse the pun) look magnificent went bent over!
Now, although this isn't too big and is easy to slide it, keeping it in is a different matter altogether! Due to its weight, it really does make its presence felt when inside. Do not let this put you off however. It doesn't slip out like some toys mitt as they have no 'lip' to help stay in. This has a very well formed lip, the neck being much narrower than the widest part. All this does is use gravity much more effectively than anything else I have used.
It really mass you squeeze hard to hang onto him, and for me this was part of the fun. With all this squeezing it makes it feel bigger than it really is, so you achieve the big toy feeling immediately.
This is a must for anal players, in my opinion. I have glass toys too, yet this is a cut above the rest as it has the weightiness that glass simply doesn't have.
- Pros
- Weight, design, smoothness.
- Cons
- A soft storage pouch would be cool if included.
- Bottom line
- Superb for anal players.

Reviewed: November 14, 2014 by Hardashell, a Straight Going Steady Male
I managed to get this toy in a sale. Glad I did. My package arrived promptly and discreetly as usual.
Once I'd opened the packaging, I noticed the little flight case box (nice touch). I picked it up and noticed how weighty it was. Impressed.
Once pulling the toy out of the box, I held a shiny, seamless piece of sculpted metal. Nice bulb on one end and a tapered probe on the other. Very smooth.
Inserting was quite easy once playing a small while, and the weight felt so good.
All in all, a very nice toy for those who have a little experience. Try to grab it in a deal if you can, but worth its weight if you like plug play.
- Pros
- Heavy, smooth and not overly large.
- Cons
- Box a bit tacky.
- Bottom line
- Solid and fulfilling.

Daria Werbowy, Half of GQ's Couple of the Year
Besides the fact they're both Canadian, Lancôme spokesmodel Daria Werbowy and funnyman Seth Rogen make quite the unlikely pair.
Nonetheless, GQ named the two Couple of the Year — a title that is slightly misleading, considering that Seth and Daria are no real-life couple, but one that does make a good excuse for a fun photoshoot. Daria and Seth ham it up for the camera, playing a couple with a definitive taste for high fashion: Seth wears a $2,120 tracksuit in one shot! I wonder what he thought of the cat-like creature that is Daria . . .

I have no problem with the unlikely couple idea. My problem is that you always see the super hot thin model type girl with the chubby not so handsome guy. It's never the other way around. One would never see a less than gorgeous girl with a few extra pounds paired with a supermodel hot guy. There are such double standards in our society it's ridiculous.

bransugar i couldn't have said it better. and plus we rarely see high fashion models do something as campy as like these, but that's what makes it endearing. she's now my favorite model because i think she's really enjoying herself. and yes it's a cliche but is it too far from the truth though? an average-looking fellah with a sense of humor is better than a stud with a a bland personlality

I wasn't commenting on these people as "real people" I was just saying that it is very cliche and you do see it a lot in commercials and on shows. I agree that just because someone is beautiful doesn't mean they automatically must be wonderful - on the other hand - I do think that a lot of women just SETTLE for men instead of really finding someone special (not just in looks, but the whole deal). For example before my husband - I dated some really jerk-y guys who weren't good looking and really not that nice. I'd settle for them because either I wanted a boyfriend or I was blinded by something else or secretly thought I couldn't do better. I think these pairings on commercials (where the guys are ugly and act stupid in most of them and the women are witty and attractive) reinforces that idea that women shouldn't worry about settling on mediocre men. Maybe I'm looking too into it, but that just my opinion.

OMG, I thought this was saying they are really a couple...I was shocked until I read further! Haha.

I actually love the photos. They are so campy, funny, and endearing in a way. They capture both Daira and Seth perfectly, the whole point of the article! I don't think they were going for the model/scruffy actor cliche; these two just had a fantastic year!

I think it's hilarious that you all seem to think he's so unworthy of her. Besides being just beautiful what is she offering. And are we saying that unless you're thin young and lovely you don't deserve to be loved? That's absurd. I think Seth happens to be very cute some women actually like guys like that we don't just go for them despite their looks. I think those kinds of attitudes are so elementary and frankly as grown reall ife women we shouldn't be supporting them. All kinds of people find all kinds of things attraactive in everyone and maybe all those super models have a thing for guys who aren't so caught up in the physical. Maybe it gives them a chance to be normal instead of being gawked at. Grow up people

These sort of "unlikely pairings" happen in real life, too. Seth Rogan is a pretty successful actor/writer, he's funny, and (in my opinion) not that bad looking. It's not that unlikely that a model would want to date him. Women (unlike a lot of men) have the ability to look past the exterior of a man to determine his attractiveness.

I am too kramp! I get so frustrated that every single commercial on tv always has a super model (or at least thin and beautiful) woman and then a frumpy sad and ugly man. It's just aggravating.

text: Hey everybody. I'm a junior in high school and i'm in student government. Well, one of the projects is to make a speech about something you like and present it using visual aids (powerpoint, etc.) I'm doing mine on Disneyland next week, but today there was another girl in the government who did hers on Disneyland. Interestingly enough , it was very..how do you say......unknowledgeable? is that a word? but anyways, she basicaly just went through the lands and said if she liked it or not. what i found offensive was when she went through lands like Main Street and said, "there aren't any attractions in this land, there are just shops." or when she got to new orleans square and said, "this is the most boringest land." or when she got to frontierland and said "big thunder is the only attraction. but there are two boats there too." i guess my disney love is just driving me over the edge, but still. for my Presentation do you guys have any suggestions? any interesting facts i should share? any aspect of disneyland? i'm planning to give a lil history about BLACK SUNDAY and then move into today with the 50th and all the things happening and stuff and other secrretS!

text: One of our goals from UDS was to analyse the kernel initialisation performance. The moblin kernel was measured to initialise in about .9s whereas the default Ubuntu kernel was booting in about 1.5s (both on the 10v). While testing the async_populate_rootfs patches I noted did a little experimentation to see what else was slowing boot and comparing the configuration for those components to the moblin kernel. The major costs are populate_rootfs, pnpisa_init, piix_init and associated port probes. We know that moblin does not use an initramfs, and as we can see below isapnp is turned off in their config: config-generic:# CONFIG_ISAPNP is not set If I boot my 10v with no initramfs and with isapnp disabled on the command line I get a kernel init time of approximatly 0.8s. In short we can account in full for the kernel init performance difference from disabling both the initramfs and isapnp. -apw

New Resident Evil 6 demo coming soonIf you're uncertain about the direction Resident Evil continues to head in (can't say I'd blame you), Capcom has announced today that they will be releasing a new demo of Resident Evil 6 to Xbox 360 and PS3 players on September 18, so that they might become enthused. The demo will feature segments from each of the game's three campaigns, giving access to all six characters, so there should be plenty for players to check out and the content sounds as though it's different from what we've been seeing in preview builds up to now. It's also completely different from the demo distributed to buyers of Dragon's Dogma. Previously only available on Xbox 360, that demo becomes available to PS3 users September 5th. Hey, that's tomorrow! Comments not appearing? Anti-virus apps like Avast or some browser extensions can cause this. Easy fix: Add [*].disqus.com to your software's white list. Tada!

What if every word in a Web page became a link, and each link could point to more than one place? That's the vision behind Liquid Information ( www.liquidinformation.org ), a joint project headed up by British researcher Frode Hegland and Doug Engelbart, inventor of the mouse. The project's goal is to rethink how the Web works, so that you might, for instance, click on someone's name in a news story to read more about that person. "We want to wake people up to the possibilities of interactive text," says the project's mission statement.

ABSTRACT: The analgesic efficacy and safety of periarticular multimodal drug injection (PMDI) compared with femoral nerve block (FNB) for postoperative pain management in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) still remains controversial. We therefore conducted a meta-analysis to quantitatively compare PMDI to FNB in TKA. 10 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with 744 TKAs in 728 patients were included in this study. The meta-analysis showed that single shot FNB may have better pain relief in the early postoperative period compared with single shot PMDI, and continuous PMDI provided postoperative analgesia comparable to that of continuous FNB. No significant difference was seen in regard to the complications between the two groups. However, due to the variation of the included studies, no firm conclusions can be drawn.The Journal of Arthroplasty. 02/2015; - Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research 01/2015; · 2.79 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Ultrasound (US) has been used to increase elution of antibiotic from an antibiotic-loaded poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) bone cement (ALBC). We aimed to further investigate whether microbubbles-mediated US (US + MB) facilitate elution of vancomycin (VAN) from cylindrical specimens and enhance the activity of the eluted antibiotic against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) in vitro. The study groups comprised cylindrical bone cement fabricated with VAN (VAN), ALBC using US (VAN + US), and ALBC using MB-mediated US (VAN + US + MB). We also carried out an in vivo study involving the activity of VAN from cylindrical cement implanted in tibiae of New Zealand white rabbits inoculated with S. aureus. We found that (1) in vitro, elution from VAN + US + MB cylinders was significantly higher than from either the VAN or VAN + US specimens; (2) the activity of the eluted VAN from the VAN + US + MB cylinders against planktonic S. aureus was significantly higher than from either the control or VAN or VAN + US specimens; and (3) in the rabbits, the activity of the eluted VAN from the VAN + US + MB cylinders against S. aureus was significantly higher than from either the control or VAN or VAN + US specimens. The present results suggest that VAN-loaded PMMA cement irradiated with MB-mediated US may have a role in controlling prosthetic joint infection.BioMed Research International 01/2015; 2015:309739. · 2.71 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We determined whether the addition of microbubbles enhances the effect of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) on bone–implant integration in an early-stage osteolysis model. The bone canals were injected with titanium particles before implantation to establish the periprosthetic osteolysis model. Before ultrasonic therapy, the microbubble-enhanced LIPUS group (GTi-Us-Mb) received an intra-articular injection of microbubbles. Biomechanical testing revealed that GTi-Us-Mb had significantly greater fixation strength than the LIPUS group (GTi-Us). Distal periprosthetic bone mineral density was also higher in GTi-Us than in the Ti group (GTi), but no significant increase was detected after administration of microbubbles. Histomorphometric analyses revealed that bone formation around the implant in GTi-Us was enhanced by the addition of microbubbles in GTi-Us-Mb. Taken together, our data indicate that microbubble injection enhances the inhibitory effect of LIPUS on debris-induced osteolysis and further strengthens the mechanical fixation of implants in an early-stage osteolysis model in vivo.Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology 11/2014; · 2.10 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Previous research has found that low-intensity ultrasound enhanced the lethal effect of gentamicin on planktonic E. coli. We aimed to further investigate whether microbubble-mediated low-intensity ultrasound could further enhance the antimicrobial efficacy of gentamicin. The planktonic E. coli (ATCC 25922) was distributed to four different interventions: control (GCON), microbubble only (GMB), ultrasound only (GUS), and microbubble-mediated ultrasound (GMUS). Ultrasound was applied with 100 mW/cm(2) (average intensity) and 46.5 KHz, which presented no bactericidal activity. After 12 h, plate counting was used to estimate the number of bacteria, and bacterial micromorphology was observed with transmission electron microscope. The results showed that the viable counts of E. coli in GMUS were decreased by 1.01 to 1.42 log10 CFU/mL compared with GUS (P < 0.01). The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of gentamicin against E. coli was 1 μ g/mL in the GMUS and GUS groups, lower than that in the GCON and GMB groups (2 μ g/mL). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images exhibited more destruction and higher thickness of bacterial cell membranes in the GMUS than those in other groups. The reason might be the increased permeability of cell membranes for gentamicin caused by acoustic cavitation.BioMed Research International 05/2014; 2014:142168. · 2.71 Impact FactorThis article is viewable in ResearchGate's enriched format - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Purpose. The aim of this study was to directly compare the efficacy and the safety of the two agents for postmenopausal women. Methods/Principal Findings. Electronic databases were searched for relevant articles that met our predefined inclusion criteria. Seven randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving 4054 women were identified and included. Although Aln was more effective than Rlx in increasing bone mineral density (BMD), no statistical differences were observed in reducing the risk of neither vertebral fractures (P = 0.45) nor nonvertebral fractures (P = 0.87) up to two-year followup. Aln reduced the risk of vasomotor (P = 0.006) but increased the risk of diarrhea compared to Rlx (P = 0.01). Our subgroup analysis further indicated the difference between Aln and Rlx in fracture risk and was not materially altered by the administration pattern, the age. The weekly strategy of Aln would further reduce the upper gastrointestinal (GI) disorders and might gain more bone mass increment at lumbar spine compared to its daily treatment. Conclusion. There was no evidence of difference of fracture risk reduction between Aln and Rlx. In addition, age did not obviously influence their relative antifracture efficacy. For Aln the weekly strategy would further reduce the upper GI disorders and gain more bone mass increment compared to the daily treatment. During clinical decision making, the patients' adherence and the related side-effects associated with both drugs should also be taken into account.International Journal of Endocrinology 01/2014; 2014:796510. · 1.52 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: With development in the techniques of reduction and fixation, there has been a controversy in comparison between intramedullary nailing (IMN) and plating for the treatment of distal tibial metaphyseal fracture (DTF). The study aimed to investigate: (1) which fixation, IMN or plating, was better in the clinical outcomes and in the complications for the treatment of DTF and (2) which modifying variables affected the comparative results between the two modalities. PubMed, EMBASE, OVID, Scopus, ISI Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, Google Scholar and specific orthopaedic journals were searched from inception to July 2013, using the search strategy of '('Fracture Fixation, Intramedullary' [MeSH]) AND ('Tibial Fractures' [MeSH]) AND (plate OR plating)'. All prospective and retrospective controlled trials comparing function, pain, bone union and complications between IMN and plating for DTF were identified. Our analysis had no limitation of the language or the publication year. The primary outcome measurements were complication rate, union time, operation time and hospital stays, while the secondary outcome measurements were functional score and pain score. Fourteen of 6620 studies with 842 patients were included. IMN was probably preferential to plating for DTF given its higher functional score (p=0.01), lower risk of infection (p=0.02) and comparable pain score (p=0.33), total complication rate (p=0.53) and time to union (p=0.86). However, plating had a lower malunion rate than IMN (p<0.0001). All the results were based on the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) evidence of moderate quality. With a satisfying alignment obtained, IMN may be preferential to plating for fixation of DTF with better function and lower risk of infection. However, IMN showed higher malunion rate for fixation of DTF. With the biases in our meta-analysis, it will ultimately require a rigorous and adequately powered randomised controlled trial (RCT) to prove. Level III, therapeutic study (systematic review).Injury 10/2013; · 2.46 Impact Factor -
Article: Is There Really No Benefit of Vertebroplasty for Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures? A Meta-analysis.
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Osteoporotic vertebral compressed fractures (VCFs) are the most common osteoporotic fractures. Although percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) reportedly relieves pain and improves function, a recent pooled analysis from two multicenter randomized controlled trials concluded the improvement in pain and disability treated with PVP was similar to those with sham surgery. Using meta-analysis we therefore asked whether compared with either nonoperative therapy or a sham injection for patients with VCF, PVP would (1) better relieve pain, (2) provide greater improvement in pain-related disability, and (3) increase the recurrence of vertebral fractures. We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Medline, and the Cochrane library using the keywords "vertebroplasty AND osteoporosis OR fracture". We included nine of the 469 articles identified. Using a random effects model, we calculated the weighted mean differences to evaluate the pain reduction at different times as the primary outcome. Pain-related disability was assessed by a quality of life (QOL) measure. Improvement of QOL and recurrence of vertebral fractures were the secondary outcomes. We used subgroup analysis to reinvestigate pain relief and function improvement of PVP based on two different controls: nonoperative therapy and sham injection. The total number of patients was 886. Pain scoring was similar between the PVP group and the sham injection group at 1 to 29 days and 90 days. However, compared with nonoperative therapy, PVP reduced pain at all times studied. QOL in the PVP group was improved or tended to be improved compared with QOL for both control groups. The risk of new fractures was similar between the PVP groups and both control groups. Different control groups may have accounted for the different conclusions in the literature regarding the ability of PVP to relieve pain and restore function recovery. Compared with nonoperative treatment PVP relieved pain better and improved QOL. PVP did not increase the risk of new fractures. Level II, therapeutic study.

ABSTRACT: We investigated the effect of local low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) on polyethylene debris induced periprosthetic osteolysis. The periprosthetic osteolysis model was made by injecting endotoxin-free pure polyethylene particles into the distal part of the femur canal and inserting a stainless steel plug into this femur. The effects of polyethylene and LIPUS were assessed histologically and by the shear strength test and periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) test. Sixteen rabbits received a stainless steel plug on one side and both polyethylene and a stainless steel plug on the other side. Three months later, the side that received polyethylene showed periprosthetic osteolysis. Subsequently, another 16 rabbits received polyethylene plus local LIPUS (200 mW/cm(2) for 20 min daily) on one side and polyethylene alone on the other side. Three months later, LIPUS effectively prevented the periprosthetic osteolysis caused by polyethylene in this rabbit model.Ultrasound in medicine & biology 02/2012; 38(2):238-46. · 2.46 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: It is well accepted that the minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for total hip arthroplasty (THA) should combine with less or no muscle damage and is different from mini-incision technique and MIS should have better outcomes than mini-incision surgery. The aim of current analysis was to apply an explicitly defined sub-group analysis to confirm whether this hypothesis is true. A computerized literature search was applied to find any data concerning MIS or mini-incision THAs. A multistage screening was then performed to identify randomized studies fulfilling the inclusive criteria for the analysis. The data were extracted, and sub-group analyses of MIS or mini-incision surgery for different kinds of outcomes were carried out. The P(sub) value for difference between MIS sub-group and mini-incision sub-group was also calculated. Eleven studies that fulfilling the inclusion criteria were included, with 472 cases in the study group (MIS or mini-incision) and 492 cases in the conventional group. The overall analysis showed the study group would achieve less surgical duration (P = 0.037), intraoperative blood (P < 0.001) and incision length (P < 0.001) than conventional group. The difference between sub-groups showed, the MIS would achieve shorter incision length (P(sub) < 0.05) and bigger cup abduction angle (P(sub) < 0.05), and cause more blood loss (P (sub) < 0.05) than mini-incision technique. Other indexes were comparable between the two sub-groups. Though further high quality studies are still needed, the result of current analysis offered an initial conclusion that MIS THA failed to achieve a better clinical outcome than mini-incision technique. The exact definition of MIS still needs to be improved.Chinese medical journal 12/2011; 124(24):4316-23. · 1.02 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This work was carried out to evaluate the clinical efficacy and the complications of S-ROM modular hip arthroplasty combined with transverse subtrochanteric shortening for Crowe type IV congenital dislocation of the hip (CDH). A total of 28 consecutive patients with Crowe type IV CDH received treatment using this surgical technique from June 2003 to June 2010. The follow-up was conducted at 3 days, 1, 6, and 12 months after the operation and later annually at the outpatient of our hospital. Sequential pelvic plain film and normotopia film of the affected hip joint were taken. The limp and the Trendelenburg sign were also assessed, the ischiadic nerve injury was also evaluated by electromyogram, and Harris hip scores were recorded. After operation, both the alignment and the position of the transverse osteotomies were good. None of the patients had presented complications of joint infection, prosthesis loosening, joint dislocation, or nerve injury. S-ROM modular hip arthroplasty combined with transverse subtrochanteric shortening was a satisfactory and safe technique for the Crowe type IV congenital hip dislocation within a mean follow up of 53 months. Transverse subtrochanteric shortening could effectively prevent the distraction injury of sciatic nerve.Chinese medical journal 12/2011; 124(23):3891-5. · 1.02 Impact Factor - Orthopedics 11/2011; 34(11):837-8; author reply 838. · 1.05 Impact Factor
Article: Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound: a potential non-invasive therapy for femoral head osteonecrosis.
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH) has been a common disorder in clinical orthopaedic practice. ONFH is the relative contraindication of hip arthroplasty for the young and active patients since they suffer a high rate of revision and inferior function postoperatively. The primary importance in therapy is to prevent the progression of the disease and the collapse of the articular surface in order to keep away from hip arthroplasty. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) has been indicated to enhance the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells, stimulate the differentiation and the proliferation of osteoblasts, inhibit osteoclasts, improve the local blood perfusion and the angiogenesis, and accelerate the healing process of the stress fracture. We present a hypothesis that LIPUS may be an appropriate non-invasive modality for bone repair in the early stage of ONFH so that the progressive collapse of the articular surface and the subsequent arthroplasty would be avoided.Medical Hypotheses 01/2011; 76(1):4-7. · 1.15 Impact Factor -
Article: The effects of local and systemic alendronate delivery on wear debris-induced osteolysis in vivo.
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We investigated the effects of locally and systemically administered alendronate on wear debris-induced osteolysis in vivo. Endotoxin-free titanium particles were injected into rabbit femurs, prior to insertion of a nonweight-bearing polymethylmethacrylate plug into the distal femur canal. Then the particles were repeatedly injected into the knee 2, 4, and 6 weeks after the implantation. Alendronate was incorporated at three different concentrations (0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 wt %) into bone cement for local delivery. For systemic delivery, alendronate was subcutaneously injected (1.0 mg/kg/week) 1 week after the implantation and then once a week until sacrifice. Eight weeks postoperatively, there was significant evidence of osteolysis surrounding the plug in the control group compared with markedly blocked osteolysis in the 0.5 wt % and the 1.0 wt % groups, and the systemic group. There was a concentration-dependent effect of alendronate-loaded bone cement on the improvement of peri-prosthetic bone stock. Notably, no significant differences were found between the 0.5 wt % and the systemic group in peri-prosthetic bone stock and implant fixation. Collectively, although the biological efficacy after the systemic delivery of alendronate was slightly higher than that in the local treatment groups, alendronate-loaded bone cement may be therapeutically effective in inhibiting titanium particle-induced osteolysis in vivo.Journal of Orthopaedic Research 07/2010; 28(7):893-9. · 2.88 Impact Factor - International Orthopaedics 07/2009; 34(3):453-4; author reply 455. · 2.02 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: To investigate the biomechanical strength of diphosphonate impregnated bone cement (DIBC). DIBC specimens were manufactured and randomly assigned to the control groups and the DIBC groups. According to the corresponding ASTM/ISO standards, the static biomechanical strength and the fatigue limit were tested systematically. The particle size distribution of diphosphonate powder was analyzed with the laser light scattering method. The fatigue test results, given as number of cycles-to-failure, were analyzed using the linearized format of the two-parameter Weibull function. With the drug load increased, there was a slight increase in static biomechanical strength and a moderate decrease in fatigue limit, both with statistical significance. When immersed in PBS before the tests, the DIBC specimens presented an overall significant decrease of static biomechanical strength and fatigue limit. The profile of drug particle sizes presented a normal distribution. The adopted diphosphonate is a much homogeneous powder which contains particles with a low range of sizes. The impregnation of diphosphonate exerted no or less negative effect on the biomechanical strength of the acrylic bone cement, of which the static strength of DIBC is maintained high above the ASTM/ISO standards.Zhonghua wai ke za zhi [Chinese journal of surgery] 04/2009; 47(6):465-8. - Acta Orthopaedica 01/2009; 79(6):870; author reply 871-2. · 2.45 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Ultrasound holds promise for enhancing the vancomycin release from cement though the length of time when local drug level exceeded the minimum inhibitory concentration (T(>MIC)) was not prolonged by the previous protocol of milliwatt-level ultrasonication. Here vancomycin-loaded cements were subjected to continuous watt-level ultrasonication (CUG), intermittent watt-level ultrasonication (IUG) or no ultrasonication (NUG) for 14 d during immersion in 40-ml phosphate buffered saline (PBS) for 28 d. The T(>MIC) for IUG was more than three times that for NUG. In contrast, T(>MIC) for CUG was slightly shortened. The subtherapeutic release of vancomycin between 15 d and 28 d for IUG was one-ninth that for NUG. The fitting equations indicated a significant enhancement on the burst release and the slow release for IUG; however, the continuous ultrasonication hampered the slow release. SEM images exhibited denser craters and pores with larger diameters and less residual drug in specimens from IUG relative to those from both CUG and NUG. Intermittent watt-level ultrasonication improved the ultrasound-enhanced vancomycin release from cement in view of the prolonged T(>MIC) and the inhibited subtherapeutic release compared with continuous ultrasonication. The mechanisms may be associated with the distinctive effects of detaching forces and pushing forces by acoustic microstreams.Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part B Applied Biomaterials 12/2008; 90(1):11-7. · 2.31 Impact Factor - Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research 12/2008; 467(2):582-4. · 2.79 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: This study sought to investigate the effect of delayed pulsed-wave ultrasound with low frequency on drug release from and the antimicrobial efficacy of vancomycin-loaded acrylic bone cement in vivo and the possible mechanism of this effect. After the implantation of cement and the inoculation of Staphylococcus aureus into the bilateral hips of rabbits, ultrasound (average intensity, 300 mW/cm(2); frequency, 46.5 kHz; on/off ratio, 20 min/10 min) was applied to animals in the normal ultrasound group (UG(0-12)) from 0 through 12 h after surgery and to those in the delayed-ultrasound group (UG(12-24)) from 12 through 24 h after surgery. The control group (CG) was not exposed to ultrasound. Based on vancomycin concentrations in left hip cavities at projected time intervals, the amount of time during which the local drug concentration exceeded the MIC (T(>MIC)) in UG(12-24) was significantly prolonged compared with that in either CG or UG(0-12), and the ratios between the areas under the concentration-time curves over 24 h and the MIC for UG(0-12) and UG(12-24) were both increased compared with that for CG. The greatest reductions in bacterial densities in both right hip aspirates and right femoral tissues at 48 h were achieved with UG(12-24). Local hemorrhage in rabbits of UG(0-12) during the 12-h insonation was more severe than that in rabbits of UG(12-24). Of four variables, the T(>MIC) and the bioacoustic effect were both identified as parameters predictive of the enhancement of the antimicrobial efficacy of cement by ultrasound. Sustained concentrations above the MIC replaced early high maximum concentrations and long-term subtherapeutic release of the drug, provided that ultrasound was not applied until local hemorrhage was relieved. The enhancement of the antimicrobial efficacy of cement by ultrasound may be attributed to the prolonged T(>MIC) and the bioacoustic effect caused by ultrasound.Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy 10/2007; 51(9):3199-204. · 4.45 Impact Factor

Hello all, I am wanting to see how the second time moms (or more) are feeling about this pregnancy. Particulary ones that have older children. I have a 6yr old son, who will be 7 when the baby is born. I was 19 when I had my son and now that I am a happily married adult, I feel so different. Not because I am married and an adult, but I guess because my son is so much older and we are going to have a baby!! We have been TTC for awhile now and I just can't believe it! I am excited, nervous, and bunch of other crazy emotions. I just want that little precious baby to hurry and get here.. I can't even imagine how different things will be with another child.
Second Pregnancy?

Hello. This is my second pregnancy. I don't have a child as old as yours, my son is going to be 2 next month. So far everything this pregnancy has been so much more intense. Last time I had no symptoms at all this time I have horrible morning sickness, last week the dr prescribed me meds beause i was having trouble keeping food and fluids down. I have such bad heartburn(this child better have LOTS of hair lol), my breasts are so sore and leaking! and have already gone up almost 1 cup size and I'm already showing! It's CRAZY! last time i didn't even look pregnant till 7 months and i didn't leak until right before i had my son. lol, this pregnancy is definately different.
I'm so excited! Â I love watching older kids with the newest little one. Â It brings out a different side of them, and was so fun the last time around. Â (When I had my last baby, my kids were 8, 5, and 4.) Â Â
We're really looking forward to our son having a playmate. He'll be 2 at the end of November. I think the age gap will be great for us. We are not totally out of baby mood but love the toodler stage that he is already in.
Mommy of the A Team - A DS - 11/2009, A DD 3/2012
Our DS is 2 but will be 3 in a few months. I am excited but I admit that I'm also scared, nervous, anxious, etc. about how having 2 children will be. I'm more worried about how DH and I will handle being parents of 2. I think my LO will do well and be a great big brother, but I worry about that too.
I really think it's more all of the unknowns at this point. I always wanted to have 2 children and DH and I had pretty much decided to stop with one. Then surprise here we are expecting a second! So, we were shocked at first but happy at the same time.
I know we can do this and will figure everything out. I just feel like I am more nervous anticipating the second one than I was with my first.Â
LOL mine are older..
I have a 13 DS, 12 DS and DD will be 9 when baby comes and DD will be 18 mo. when baby comes. That was a huge 7 1/2 years span between 3 and 4 for me, and I was concerned at the age difference, but it has been great! You'll love how helpful the older one is and how easy it will all be compared to 2 little ones together... that is fun too though =)
**Crystal**(35) DH-Daniel (37)
DS-Douglas(16) DS-Tyler(15) DD-Lena(11)
DD-Sarah Elizabeth (4) Rebekah (2)
We are excited. Ds is 2.  The baby will be here about a month before his birthday. It is neat to see his reations to it all. He is always huging me and giving the baby kisses. Too cute!!Â

I know many of us are counting down to Christmas and the opportunity to take a break; spend quality time with family and friends and; rejuvenate our energy and spirits. For some people, thinking about work is the last thing they want to do as the year rolls to a close. But for a few of us, whose work is fuelled by passion and a desire to realise a dream, there is no 'off' button. If you're anything like me, you're looking forward to the down time, so that you can spend it strategising and planning how to take your business to the next level, in 2015.
I have a feeling many of you resonate with what I'm saying and I've got some wonderful news for you! I've partnered with the coolest startup coach I know, Danielle Anderson, to deliver a ClarityCall webinar on the 10th of January, to help you get started the way you mean to go on. This is an exclusive opportunity for you, my Afri-love community, wherever in the world you might be.
I've done this exercise with Danielle myself and it really helped me to focus on what was most important for my business at that time. It can be really hard to have that kind of perspective when you're juggling the myriad day-to-day demands of work and life. The results and momentum that I've experienced in the past couple of months, are testament to the power and value of giving myself the time to do this with Danielle. I wish this sort of pause, clarity and progress for you all so, I'm thrilled that Danielle has offered to run this exercise for us.
About This Webinar
Entrepreneurs, startups, and small business owners share a common trait: trying to turn a vision into a reality. In this workshop, we'll tackle the question responsible for many restless nights: "How will I ever get to where I want to be?" You'll be guided through a powerful, reflective exercise to help translate your big dream into a clear, actionable plan and get your business off the ground.

If you're reading this, it's quite possible that you take cycling for granted. It's quite possible that cycling is something you used to do around your neighbourhood, for fun, as a teenager. Perhaps nowadays you ride when you escape the city, enjoying more scenic 'scapes. Or perhaps you've chosen to ditch the train or bus and commute via bike each morning and afternoon.
Despite growing up in Nairobi, where I'd see hundreds of people cycling to town each morning, as I rode the bus to school – even I find myself forgetting just how much of a life-line a bicycle can be to so many people on our continent.
That's why I'm pleased to share today's interview with you and, with it, a new perspective on the joys of cycling.
Lauren Thomas, co-founder of Mozambikes (below), left Wall Street to find a different way to use finance to make more of an impact. Read on for her story and then find out how a bike can be a shop, a water supply, a job, equality for women, a school bus, family time, a delivery van and more!
What's your passion?
I have a lot of passion! Passion for bicycles as a global solution, passion for sustainable projects that capacitate people to improve their own quality of life and, certainly passion for Africa. Mozambikes incorporates all of these into one project that is fighting poverty in rural Mozambique, using bicycles as tools for income generation. We distribute bicycles to those who truly need them, but also are seeking to build a better bicycle industry overall in Africa. This means better promotion of bicycle safety, more buffered bicycle lanes, education about how to care for bicycles and – simply – teaching more people to ride bicycles, especially women!
What inspired Mozambikes?
My co-founder and I were on a road trip throughout Mozambique and were struck by how many people walk such long distances in the country. Often without shoes and with heavy loads on their heads, walking such distances that we couldn't even see their destination. We pulled over to begin talking with people about why bicycles weren't more heavily utilized, and the answers were clear: the only bikes sold locally are poor quality and still too costly for the people who really need them. Imagine saving months of salary for a bike that breaks in 3 months!! We knew we could design a better model to get bikes into the market.
What has been your greatest obstacle/challenge?
In order for our bikes to be affordable, we have to bring in a container of components at a time. This means that at each container, we have to fund the capital for another 1,000 bikes. In other parts of the world, a purchase of inventory (where 100% can be secured by the collateral) is not so difficult to attain but, in Mozambique, lending rates exceed 20%. We are currently looking out for patient capital investors or other sources of social funding that can give us an inventory line and take away this challenge.
How have you dealt with/overcome this challenge?
In addition to seeking patient capital, as discussed above, we use other funding opportunities to help us bring in bicycles. We raise funds from individuals via a "Donate a Bike" campaign on our website, and this October we have launched a crowdfund that will not only be used to bring in bicycles, but will also help us to build a bigger and more consistent community for regular support. We are really excited about the traction that this crowdfund is getting – our site has had over 13,000 visits!
What has your greatest achievement been?
Our growth has been tremendous since we brought over our first bikes at the end of 2011. We have over 2,500 bicycles on the ground and are gaining more and more attention each day. As a general achievement I think watching Mozambikes blossom from a "passion project" into a booming operation has been amazing.
Where will you be in 10 years?
In 10 years, we hope to be in every Province and District of Mozambique and in surrounding countries across Southern and Eastern Africa. We hope to have regular safety campaigns, technician trainings and bicycle riding workshops. Mozambikes will have regular corporate sponsors around the world to reduce our dependency on individuals.
I hope that I will be acting as an Advisor or Board member for Mozambikes, and therefore also have my hand in other social initiatives targeted towards Africa and the bottom of the pyramid. Why? Because I strongly believe that we have not reached success as long as it is still so dependent on its Founders. Mozambikes currently has local Mozambican technicians building our bikes, and a local sales agent but we need to find amazing Managers that carry out the day-to-day operations. Only then will I know that Mozambikes is something that will help people over the long-term. And, then I will have the fortune of helping to build other projects that can reach out to improve the quality of life for people less fortunate.
How does Africa inspire you?
The people of Africa work so hard, and achieve so much, with so little. Women who walk 3 hours to reach their farming plots, only to work in the fields all day and then walk home at night with 10 kilos of crops on their head – just to feed their children… These people inspire me every day and I fight to grow Mozambikes to help each and every one of them.
Anything we should look out for in the coming weeks/months/year?
Something to look out for now – our crowdfund campaign! Please consider making a contribution – as little as $15 can make a tremendous difference in the lives of rural Mozambicans. We also encourage everyone to share the campaign, as the power of social media and personal emails is so powerful these days in spreading important messages. Check out the video and details of the campaign here.

Maya Angelou lived such a full and creative life: poet, dancer, film and television producer, playwright, film director, author and actress. Not to forget the creative acts of educating and changemaking, in her work as a teacher and civil rights activist.
I remember reading I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings when I was younger and feeling like I'd found a role model who I could relate to. Maya Angelou's spirit of adventure, her prolific creative output and her positive mindset are all things that inspire me and that I aspire to.
Above – an illustrated tribute that I made today – to the phenomenal woman. Below – some more of my favourite Maya quotes:
"Nothing will work unless you do."
"If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude."
"If you're always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be."
(Check out more powerful Maya Angelou quotes on policymic.com)

Last week I had the pleasure of finally meeting Annegret Affolderbach, the founder of London-based womenswear label, Choolips, in person.
Having featured Choolips designs on the blog before, it was great to meet the amazing woman behind the brand. Annegret's passion for what she's doing – championing high quality craftsmanship; reviving ancient textile traditions; empowering the local artisans and entrepreneurs behind them; operating with small water and carbon footprints – is infectious. She is a rebel, in the best sense of the word, on a mission to make the world a better place. With exquisite style and beautiful stories. Yes, we can have all this!

It's that time again – the annual Southbank Centre Women of the World Festival takes place this week, in London.
A couple of years ago, I presented on Digital Tapestries and, taking that theme to another level, this year I will be running a workshop entitled 'How to: Create a Great Web Presence'.
Most of us want to spend most of our time honing our craft – doing what we love most. However, for most of us to continue doing this, somebody's got to buy.

Online store, Soko, sells handcrafted jewellery made by artisans in emerging economies, using natural and upcycled materials. They "fashion a better world" through craft, technology and trade. I'm loving the technological angle – leveraging the fact that online sales overtook retail sales years ago and leveraging how empowering mobile money has been in Africa. An apparent win-win for everybody.
I'm also enjoying the bold geometric nature of the accessories above from Soko's 'Kenyan collection'.
Watch the animation below for the Soko model. I'm looking forward to checking them out at PURE London today.

Updated: Is the backlight supposed to be blue?
I for one am glad that the backlight is white not blue. White backlights are not common, blue is. If the iPod had a blue backlight it would look very common like a cell phone. I think the white is very distinctive and classy. As for the article about display iPods having higher resolution, that really ticks me off! Also the pictures could depict a blue screen if Apple played around with the white balance of their iPod photos.

Online Petition for Firmware Updates for Classic iPods
Why did you people purchase the iPod? Was there some implied statement by Apple that they were going to issue annual software updates to it? Did you really purchase a piece of hardware that you didn't like, with the hope that someday it would be upgraded to something worth while?
Sense the introduction of the iPod, it is my understanding that they have added contacts software, and AAC audio support (as well as some general enhancements). This is more than they needed to do and maybe as much as was possible.
I hope Apple does what it can to make it's users happy but people have to understand the difference between computers and consumer electronics.

Updated: Is the backlight supposed to be blue?
damn, i have a 15 gig ipod. the screen is clear and good looking, but it's certainly nothing too special.
and it's pretty sensitive to temperature, coldness making it lighter, and warm making it darker.
what a great way to encourage early adopters, if this is true.
Posted by ike on May 19, 2003 at 9:59 AM (CDT)
Updated: Is the backlight supposed to be blue?
White LEDs can vary a bit in color temperature from fairly white looking to blue looking (but definitely not as blue as a true blue LED).
Apple definitely hasn't switched to blue LEDs on the newer ones, so perhaps they've switched suppliers of their white LEDs or what not. Mine has enough of a blue hue to it that I could see it appearing as it does in those Apple photos with proper photo processing.
I'd like to see a photo of the "new" improved contrast screen though. I received my 15gb iPod a week ago and the screen seems fine to me, but doesn't have perfect contrast when the backlight is on (even after playing with the contrast level).

CNET 30GB iPod Review
I bought the new 30 gig iPod last Weds. It's great, but the battery life really is lacking. I've actually ordered a second firewire cable so I can charge it and listen to it at my desk at work, and still keep it charged up at home.
Overall, it's still one of the best toys in history. :)

Online Petition for Firmware Updates for Classic iPods
Does anyone know if it is possible to run the new features of the firmware on an old ipod? They are different machines with different hardware after all. For example, the new ipod has a higher resolution screen, which appears to be necessary to play some of the new games.

Online Petition for Firmware Updates for Classic iPods
Upgrade the iPOD already.
i've had it almost 1 year now, and an update to support new file formats hasnt been released for windows version. I want wma/ogg instead they put AAC, which is no better than WMA.
im sick and tired of waiting for apple to update a piece of hardware i paid dearly for.
Update the damn format capability.
whats the point of having updatable firmware if they dont use it.

15GB iPod $314, 30GB $404 at Dell Home
Thanks Dealmac.
After reading your tip, I bought the 30GB iPod from Dell ($404). However, I really wanted an extended warranty, so I went to my local Best Buy, showed a sales expert my invoice, and asked nicely if he would match the price. As you all know, they dont usually match online prices - but I told them I wanted the 4 year warranty ($40), and pleaded with them to go ask JOE, a Manager at the store who knows how NOT to lose a customer.
They were surprised that Joe agreed give me the 30GB for $399 (he had given me a great deal on a 20GB last year), so I walked out with my 30GB, a 4 year warranty and a big smile on my face.
Oh, I cancelled the Dell order.
Thanks again Dealmac!

Online Petition for Firmware Updates for Classic iPods
I agree with Pac3r. The tone of the petition is a little harsh for my taste. I too want the 2.0 upgrade, but I am not willing to swear off apple produts for the rest of my natural life. I've only had my iPod (the 20 gb) for 5 months, if I knew then what i know know or had at least been informed that there was going to be the option to choose between the new and old, most certinly i would have chosen the new and watied the 5 months. But, i have to say…. in the back of my head, i really don't like the look of the new iPod, it kinda looks cheep without the lucite front and the simpliticy of the buttons around the scrool wheel. Maybe it's just me, but i like my "old" iPod more for the look and feel rather then the "new". And to be even more honest….i don't think i have once played the game, but the ablility to create playlists on the fly is a wonderful idea especially for when i'm on the road. Prior to the iPod i had a Nomad Jukebox (20 gb) and even it had the functionality of playlists on the fly, but did not look at cool or was as compact. With or without the chance to get the 2.0 upgrade, i will still love my iPod and my Mac (i've been a mac baby since 1987) and respect Apple for being an industry leader. My iPod has become a part of me regardless of updates or upgrades…it truly has become an extension of my own brain.

I like the idea, and I was even tempted to sign the petition. I just wish they had written it a bit differently.
I mean I want the firmware (3.0) badly but I don't think I will stop buying Apple's products if they don't release it for us.

Way to go Apple for a great new iPod! I am glad Cnet gave the new iPod a good review. I think they are very strict in their reviews so this is awesome. I love my new 15Gb iPod, just a work of art. I am more impressed with this one than when I got my first generation 10Gb iPod.

Windows: MUSICMATCH Jukebox 8 Released
I got Musicmatch for free with the iPod. I updated to Musicmatch 8.0 with a crack… do you think I'm actually going to pay for an update key when I know that iTunes will be coming soon. BTW, I haven't had any problems with Musicmatch. It organizes my MP3's nicely, the synch function is alright, tagging is easy… you have to be a complete morn to s-c-r-e-w that up… and ripping speed are damn fast. So, I've paid $0 as well and I'm very happy! No need to switch until iTunes comes along!
