Love these - but watching this I just learned that I was stuffing the insert too far...perhaps contributing to the occasional leaks we were having.

AWESOME focus! I have a bigger baby, and I use both inserts at night, with the longer one snapped to the smallest setting, I have NEVER had a nighttime leak! I did not know about stopping at the line for the insert, I just do it automatically, but I will have to tell the hubby!

I have loved these since day one...but like jennbergerbrown, I was stuffing my inserts too far. We didn't have leaks, though.

Great video - we're on prefolds and considering moving to a pocket or all-in-one, so it was really helpful to see the diaper "in action", especially those stretchy side tabs!

Bernanke Warms Up The Helicopter
After last week's Jackson Hole speech, expect to see Ben Bernanke sporting a sling the next time you see him. There is simply no way he could spend that long patting himself on the back and not suffer at least a sprain. The monetary yoga master asserted that the Fed's non traditional monetary policies were responsible for creating 2 million jobs and raising output by 3% despite the US economy remaining in the downward facing dog position 4 years after the onset of the crisis. Of course, those numbers are based on simulations run through the same economic models that produced a stock bubble backed up by a housing bubble and a financial crash so you'll have to excuse me while I hunt for a large enough grain of salt to make that analysis palatable.
Helicopter Ben offered up a cost benefit analysis of Large Scale Asset Purchases – quantitative easing or money printing in the popular lexicon – that – unsurprisingly – found the benefits large and the costs manageable. I suppose if one has a government car and gas card at one's disposal, a stock portfolio, a derivatives trading department, access to the discount window or happen to be sitting on some oil reserves, it would be easy to come to that conclusion. For most Americans, who have none of those things, the benefits of Fed money printing have proven a tad more elusive. Based on Bernanke's spirited defense of his tenure as Captain of the good ship QE over the last 4 years, it seems likely that the monetary beatings will continue until morale improves.
It also seems increasingly likely that future versions of QE will take the open ended path. Bernanke has not been as clear about this as other members of the Fed but a consensus seems to be emerging that asset purchases should continue with no set limit until economic conditions improve. I guess the thinking is that if the number of lashes is known in advance the beatings won't be as effective in altering the behavior of the lashee. To my knowledge, none of the recent remarks about this policy option has included the possibility that further Fed asset purchases might in fact make things worse. I would merely note that just hinting at further easing – as the speech was widely interpreted – was accompanied by a rise in commodity prices. With oil already at $100, gas prices at their highest level ever on Labor Day and food prices rising with the thermometer, I am of the opinion that another round of dollar debasement is unlikely to be the panacea hoped for by central bankers and politicians alike.
Stocks also moved higher but as I said last week, I've become more worried about the potential downside recently and despite the hints at QE3, I haven't changed my mind. In fact, more easing at this point is likely to increase my concerns rather than alleviate them. The US economy is not in recession yet but rising commodity prices could change that and anyone who believes that easy monetary policy has no effect on commodity prices hasn't been paying attention. With Europe in recession, China and the other emerging markets slowing and the US plodding along at 1.7% growth it is hard to make the argument that oil is at $100 based on growth expectations.
Further evidence of the potential effects of more QE can be found in the gold market which is rallying once again after hibernating through the Operation Twist phase of non traditional monetary policy. That isn't surprising since Twist had no effect on the size of the Fed's balance sheet but the hint of more asset purchases has lit a fire under the gold market. If economic recovery is the goal, a rising gold price is the last thing we would want to see. Capital flowing into the gold market is not a sign of a return of animal spirits and the desire to take risk. It is the opposite, a sign of fear that locks capital into a non productive asset. It is the ultimate malinvestment.
Uncle Ben's Monetary Elixir was a necessary antidote at the height of the financial crisis to avoid a 1930s style deflation but it has reached the limit of its effectiveness. More doses at this point are likely to do more harm than good since it was always a palliative rather than a cure. The problems facing our economy are on the supply side of the equation and have more to do with fiscal and regulatory policy than any perceived lack of money or demand. I didn't see Clint Eastwood's speech at the Republican Convention but the use of an empty chair as a metaphor for the actions of our politicians over the last decade could not be more accurate. I would only quibble with the number of chairs.
I believe we are entering a very dangerous period for economic policy. We have become too reliant on the central banks of the world to solve problems for which they are ill suited. With an election in the near future and little hope for action from the political class, I believe Bernanke and his money printing pals are about to over reach with potentially disastrous consequences. We have endured an anemic recovery so far and it hasn't been fun but adding inflation to the puzzle will make it much worse. I know there are many out there who believe that inflation isn't possible right now but there is a tipping point somewhere and I believe we are rapidly approaching it. It is not an economic model that tells us that high inflation and high unemployment are possible; it is hard earned, real world experience. We traveled this path in the 1970s and Bernanke, the intellectual love child of Arthur Burns and Milton Friedman, seems intent on taking the fork in the road that leads us back to stagflation.
The next few weeks will be critical ones for investors. This week we have a number of important US economic releases including both ISM reports and an employment report. If more QE is not already a settled question at the FOMC, these reports may prove pivotal. Further weakness will likely seal the deal and possibly our fate. We also have an ECB meeting this week and a ruling next week from the German court on the legality of the financing mechanisms being considered for further bond purchases. And then of course, the FOMC meeting. Our portfolios are overweighted – as they have been for a while – toward commodities, including gold. We are also hedged against rising volatility and are maintaining a cash cushion. It is my hope that the economic data obviates the need for further Fed action but I am far from confident that will be the case. Based on his speech it appears Bernanke feels the same way.

by Fr. Johannes Jacobse –
Why such outrage over the Philadelphia abortionist? What moral difference is there between severing the spinal cord of a newborn with a pair of scissors and dismembering a baby with a scalpel a few moments before its birth? There isn't any.
Yet the outcry over the brutality indicates that the fiction of viability may be lifting, and not a moment too soon. Viability, the idea that an unborn child has value only when it can live outside the womb, is a concept that the ignorant still believe has scientific credibility. It's a rhetorical pretense that helps us avoid what we don't want to see.
The cold hand of the malefactor reveals that the brutality outside the womb occurs inside it too. It's not so easy to pretend anymore that a difference exists because we see one but not the other. Josef Mengele at least maintained the pretense that he was serving science. This butcher wouldn't even do that. His staff kept their lunches in the same refrigerator where they stored left-over fetal parts.
Should we be shocked that the abortionist treated the newly born like a piece of pork? Why? How is it any different than how he treats the unborn?
Anyone who equivocates on the value of human life contributes to the horrors we saw in Philadelphia. That's why the Fathers of the Church used harsh and blunt language against abortion. Defending one innocent life defends all life. Justifying the murder of one, justifies the murder of all.
There is a pastoral requirement to the abortion crisis in America. Many people are confused and make the wrong decisions. The woman who had an abortion often recognizes the consequences of her decision after it is too late. Anyone dealing with a person involved with abortion must exercise exceptional sensitivity and understanding so that the forgiveness and healing of Christ can be experienced. The Fathers teach us this too, mostly by their example.
But this requirement must not be used to blunt the clear teaching that abortion is a grave moral offense; a very serious danger to both mother and child, and to the moral health of the larger culture. Let no Orthodox leader abuse his pastoral responsibility by drowning the gravity of the offense in a rhetorical sea of exaggerated compassion. That man fears the disapproval of his peers. The Fathers were men of courage.
For this reason any equivocation by Orthodox leaders must be met with the strongest objection. The moral tradition is clear. In the defense of life, one who stands on the side of the tradition stands on the side of the Fathers; one who stands on the side of the Fathers stands on the side of Christ.
Do you wonder how people become animals? It starts by treating the weaker people that way. Do not accept equivocation. The cost is too high.

Because it's sh!tty coffee?
make you have to sh!t?
Because it's sh!tty coffee?
10 minutes after coffee.
Like clockwork.
"Coffee is also a powerful stimulant for peristalsis and is sometimes considered to prevent constipation. However, coffee can also cause excessively loose bowel movements. The stimulative effect of coffee consumption on the colon is found in both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee.
Practitioners in alternative medicine often recommend coffee enemas for "cleansing of the colon" due to its stimulus of peristalsis, although mainstream medicine has not proved any benefits of the practice.
Caffeine, together with related methylxanthine compounds, is a diuretic. This seems to be mediated by the adenosine receptor.The effects on actual hydration, though, are small."
Something is wrong with you guys, I can drink 10 cups and not doot.
Edit: side effect - crippling flatulence.
Coffee is actually an old Indian word which means "crap pants".
My coffee gives me a stiffee.
My morning coffee sh!t was fierce today.
Just ordered Peruvian coffee from this company.
Best coffee I ever had.....

On NPR.org there's a recent article talking about their Ingest system they've built that allows partner stations to pull and distribute their content.
The Ingest System currently accepts stories in two XML data formats. We accept a limited subset of NPRML - our own home-grown way of expressing story content in XML. We also accept RSS with MediaRSS and NPRML extensions for audio and images and other resources. [...] While implementing the Ingest System, we faced an interesting technical challenge. Our APIs, including the components we use to authenticate API access, are written in PHP, while our content management system (CMS) is written in Java.
The article describes how their API system works, pulling together XML content, serialized JSON messaging and an authentication component to push and pull data to and from their Java-based CMS - complete with a diagram laying out the whole process.

I don't care if a politician was caught watching internet porn. A lot of people (if not most) do it and politicians are no exception.
I do care if a politician was caught paying for internet porn. That tells me a lot about whether he's able to spend money wisely.
Here's the tactic I woulda used:
"I did not view porn."
"It was just naked men and women"
Maybe Australia should hook-up their new filtered internet to the government offices first? Hmmmm. I wonder why such a low-populated country keeps appearing in the news so often?
Because if you can't find free porn on the internet, you're an idiot and have no business running the government.
Could have been worse. Could have pulled a Mark Sanford.
I do not care if a politican is caught watching porn, or if he buys porn.
I DO care if a politician watches porn DURING HIS WORK TIME or using his workplace resources. Mainly because he is wasting our hard earned tax money of which they get a helluva lot.
If he was caught updating his personal Facebook account during work, would you be upset? And if he checked his personal mail? Or maybe just browsed a shopping site for half an hour, looking for a new oven (because his wife was pestering about her wanting a new one)?
Actually, for people who are not paid by the hour, this is less of an issue. If I pay you X$ (AU$) an hour to do a job, I want you to be working during that hour. If I pay you Y$ a month/year to do a job, I don't care how long you are in the offi
If it's not part of his job description, and his job has policies in place that expressly forbid visiting a site (or category of sites) from work equipment, and I was paying his salary, then yes, I would be upset with him for doing so. Since we can tick off the "YES" column to all of these, I think it's reasonable that he's resigning. Same applies to personal mail, shopping, gambling, or anything else - if those conditions are true, then don't do it.
If he wants to check Facebook on his phone, or a persona
Of course, if there are specific rules against doing what he did, then there is no questions about him not doing this. I was talking more about the "moral" question, assuming there are no guidelines/rules.
Oddly enough I am at work at 08:49 AM legitimately reading
Actually it is a top priority, but they are going at it the wrong way. I always just love it when the IT do everything they can to keep you from using the Internet, for fear of viruses, but then they make you use IE 6 and they don't allow you to install other browsers. Stupid people!
What I can't figure is: what's so hard about "don't watch porn on work computers"? No is saying "don't watch porn", just don't use company/government resources to do it. It's not a hard concept. It's not a foreign concept. Hell most of us carry around portable, largely untraceable Internet devices in our pockets these days. If you GOTTA have a fix, get some head phones and use that.
Personally I've never seen the draw of porn at a time when I can't really conveniently... eh.. use it. So to speak.
I know, really? I thought that's why we all had smart phones now.
Well apparently he can't watch it at work either... Who'd have thought?
He can always use his imagination, after all, that's how they did it back in the good ol' days. Even child pornography is legal there, for now anyway...
Actually the workplace is a neutral environment where men and women with varying moral attitudes have to work together and so you shouldn't browse porn at work even on your own devices. Public places have a different standard of behavior because they have to be used by all of us. So by all means browse whatever you like at home but don't do it at work, in the local library, at Starbucks, etc...
Hell most of us carry around portable, largely untraceable Internet devices in our pockets these days.
I don't know what your carrying around in you pocket, but I've never heard of a "largely untraceable Internet devices" before. Please tell me more.
The device is of course traceable, but from a practical perspective getting a hold of the information required to prove it was being used to look at porn in the work place is beyond the means of anyone other than law enforcement or a news reporter willing to break some laws. Sure AT&T knows what I do with my phone, but short of a warrant, they're not likely to tell anyone. Certainly they'd pretty much laugh if someone called and said "This is DrgnDancer's boss, can you please give me a detailed report
I care if he watches porn if he then votes for internet pornography filters [wikipedia.org]. I can't stand hypocrites.
Note that I don't know if this is the case, but it wouldn't surprise me at all.
I care if he watches porn if he then votes for internet pornography filters [wikipedia.org]. I can't stand hypocrites.
Note that I don't know if this is the case, but it wouldn't surprise me at all.
This guy is in the NSW state government, the Internet filter is a federal matter.
I do care if a politician was caught paying for internet porn. That tells me a lot about whether he's able to spend money wisely.
What if he (or she) is caught trying to claim it on parliamentary expenses [bbc.co.uk]?
Yeah, or using their parliamentary credit card to purchase it [nzherald.co.nz]. At least he didn't apologise for the porn, just for the misspending. One of the local body politicians got caught peeing on a bush, and since he didn't apologise for it, I'm considering voting for him purely on that basis
What I hate is when they turn on the waterworks etc.., it just highlights that they are manipulative worms, but of course we already knew that.
glass houses.
glass houses.
Actually the Howard Government had ABC axe the Glass House in 2006.
That would be a good point, except this guy is a member of the state branch of the same party that proposed the internet filter. Besides, using a work computer for looking at porn and gambling on company time would get you fired from any other job, so it's a matter of being held to the same standards as everyone else, and as a New South Wales resident and taxpayer I don't see why I should be subsidising his personal habits.
There's another example of the same kind of hypocrisy from the same state parliament,
it's the most appropriate response to this 'story' [google.com]
It's the Great Firewall of China and the Great Barrier Router of Australia.
Get your jokes right.
I just got learned.
*'The More You Know' shooting star crashes into Hindenberg*
The reason why they're making such a fuss over his porn and gambling is that he had to bypass the Great Firewall of Australia to access them.
Why has everyone modded this as insightful rather than funny? The Internet filter was never rolled out in Australia, and after the results of the last election it is dead in the water.
The filter wasn't rolled out (i.e. preemptive enforcement). The laws regarding hosting and access, however, remain in place, and have been there for some time. Put naked pictures on a website, and they still can arrest you and label you a sex offender, whether the filtering firewall exists or not.

No they cant.

You mean the one in angry
Hey, not just them. Conroy still thinks it's a vote getter. I can't believe they're putting Turnbull up against him. That's like kicking a cripple.
Conroy is just giving lip service his masters, he knows a filter will never get past the Greens.
The NBN was a big part of the election, it's obvious a lot of people want it. I think the Libs are setting Turnbull up to fail as he could be a serious threat to Abbott and the faction leaders who put Abbott in power.
It's basically the same as masturbation, guys. Yes, we all do it, but that doesn't mean that you can do it at work. Especially if you work at McDonalds. Please.
Fine. The 'special sauce' is just thousand island dressing away. But such an incident would give me severe doubts about the mayo.
If you can get/watch porn on a McDonald's cash register *while* performing your duties as a checker, you deserve a medal and a job programming at google.
Apparently some of it involved sheep. When questioned as to whether they were rams or ewes, he replied, "Ewes, yer flamin' drongo! What do you think I am, a bloomin' pervert?".
It's not about the fact that he was looking at porn; it's that he was doing it using government funds and on government time. If he'd been doing it on his own time with his own computer and internet connection... well, he'd probably still be in the shit with family values groups, but he wouldn't have had to resign for it.
t's that he was doing it using government funds and on government time
No, it's the porn. People do personal stuff at work all the time - call their doctors' office, make a photocopy, answer personal e-mail. In fact, I'm sure other Australian government workers do those things all the time, and nobody really cares.
See my other post [slashdot.org].
Best. Mayor. Ever, even if I don't understand half the words
Paul McLeay was also the Minister for Mineral and Forest Resources as well as the Minister for Ports and Waterways.
He's minister of all those things... the guy's surely got a professional reason for googling the following phrases:
"rock hard"
"water sports"
"sporting wood"
Come on people, he probably clicked the links because he thought they were studies related to his ministership!

He apologized to his wife for looking at porn? Whoa. That is an obviously dysfunctional marital sexual relationship. For his sake, I hope it was the whole situation he was apologizing for, not the porn specifically.
It's more likely he apologized to his wife for losing (or should I say 'loosing' - it is Slashdot after all) his cushy high paid job, getting paparazzi following him and his family, becoming infamous as the 'porn politico'... basically ruining their perfect country club lives because he couldn't wait until he got home to look at boobs.
If I was goofing around looking at porn at work, to the point I got caught and lost my job. You bet I would owe my wife an apology.
Right exactly! That's what I mean about "the whole situation", not the porn specifically. Golly I hope that's the case.
Man, that's disgusting.
He's so gross, he probably sticks his penis in his wife's vagina!

Why do Aussie government "officials" have to subscribe to some kind of puritanical standard not applicable to ordinary citizens to get on the Internet?
Oh, wait. Australia. Never mind...
Why do Aussie government "officials" have to subscribe to some kind of puritanical standard not applicable to ordinary citizens to get on the Internet?

IBM's Desireable Dozen
Here we are, nearly two-thirds of the way through 2010 and IBM is averaging better than 1.5 acquisitions a month. In May CEO Sam Palmisano told investors that IBM would spend about $20 billion on acquisitions during the next five years -- beating the $20 billion the company has spent on acquisitions since Palmisano became CEO in 2002.
Most of the 12 companies IBM has bought this year are software vendors that develop tools for managing and analyzing data, to e-commerce applications, to security and network management software. But IBM also acquired a finance company and a company that provides services to government agencies.
Here's a look at IBM's acquisitions in 2010 -- so far -- and what they bring to the company and its channel partners.

I still maintain that it's rather odd to have a range of hairdye based on the hair colour of some dolls, but there you go.
I know – I only dyed me hair a week ago but I decided I didn't like it. You know when you bleach your hair it goes from being brown (if it was brown to begin with) through an orange stage nad if you are lucky to a nice, ashy blonde.
Well after numerous photos and hair washes I decided my hair was stuck in the orange stage. It had to go.
Luckily I had 2 packs of Fresh Light in Brilliant ash saved up. I had put off using it because it looks dark. And everytime I go dark I hate it and need to take it out with some Rusk Eliminate.
I really, really, really like it.
It isn't black at all – it's a dark brown full of ash tones. I swear it is the Ash in it, the cool toned sheen that makes this a really hot look. I love that it has a soft ashy feel – think Demi Moore dark or Megan Fox – no hints of warm/reddish/chestnut/mahogany tones – just cool cool cool.
My only criticisms of this range of dyes is that you don't get much at all – I have very long hair and I just about cheated it with 2 packs. The brush applicator is also fiddly and difficult to use if you have longer hair past the shoulders and its annoying to have to keep shaking it to get the product out (result is dye everywhere).
Next time I'll just empty it into a bowl and apply with a salon brush.
This colour though – bellisimo! I can't think of another dye on the western market that gets the ash/dark colour just right like this.

Cubs ring in new year with signing of Jackson
Righty inks four-year, $52 million deal, introduced at Wrigley Field
CHICAGO -- The Cubs gave Edwin Jackson quite a wedding present.
Jackson, 29, who will marry Erika Zanders on Saturday, signed a four-year, $52 million contract on Wednesday with the Cubs. The deal was consummated after general manager Jed Hoyer and manager Dale Sveum met with the free-agent right-hander in Newport Beach, Calif., at the same time that the Cubs were courting free agent Anibal Sanchez.
Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts and Theo Epstein, president of baseball operations, met with Sanchez in Florida. Both Jackson and Sanchez fit what the Cubs were looking for -- young, durable pitchers whom they could build around. Epstein's meeting with Sanchez was leaked; Hoyer's was not.
"It's hard to sign free-agent players in general and we knew we were going to go after both guys," Hoyer said. "We did a better job hiding our [meeting with Jackson]."
Jackson has been busy with wedding preparations, and that, plus the holidays, delayed the official signing until Wednesday.
He's the third starting pitcher the Cubs have added this offseason, joining Scott Baker and Scott Feldman. The team also signed Japanese reliever Kyuji Fujikawa to a two-year, $9.5 million deal, and selected reliever Hector Rondon in the Rule 5 Draft.
The Cubs had reportedly offered Sanchez a five-year, $77 million deal, which came as a surprise after the team's "buy low" approach with Baker and Feldman, who both signed one-year deals. Sanchez eventually signed an $80 million contract with the Tigers.
"We want to put a great team on the field every year," Hoyer said, "and we've also been clear that we're building for something that we think is very special and we want to make sure any free-agent signings of this magnitude fit into that plan.
"Edwin is 29 years old, and he's had six consecutive seasons making 30-plus starts," Hoyer said. "He's proven his durability and proven his talent, but he's also at an age where we think he can get even better and an age where he fits into what we're trying to do age-wise and talent-wise with our roster. We felt this was a player who met both criteria. He can help us in 2013 and be a big part of the core of what we're trying to build."
Jackson is coming off a 10-11 record and 4.03 ERA last season with the Nationals. He has averaged 199 innings the last five seasons. He's well traveled, having pitched for the Dodgers, Rays, Tigers, D-backs, White Sox and Cardinals as well as the Nationals, and has a career 70-71 record and 4.40 ERA.
The Cubs will be his sixth different team in the last six Opening Days. What gives?
"I think everyone likes me," said Jackson, laughing. "The only thing I take from it is that as long as people are going out and trying to get me on their team, it says a lot. Most of the times I've been traded, it's to a playoff contending team. I never looked at it as a negative. As long as someone wants me and they want me on their team and around their players and in their clubhouse, it's not necessarily a bad thing. I don't have to worry about the bad rap on my name."
Jackson did change agents last summer, leaving Scott Boras, but he didn't want to talk about that.
"I think a lot of his recent stops were due to the fact that you couldn't sign him to an extension and teams were willing to take what they could get in trade rather than lose him for nothing," Hoyer said.
Jackson is used to moving around. His father, Edwin Sr., is a retired U.S. Army Sergeant First Class, and Edwin Jr. was born in Neu-Ulm, Germany.
Jackson will be reunited with Matt Garza on the Cubs. The two were teammates in Tampa Bay in 2008, and they talked about the Cubs before the deal was completed.
"[Garza] definitely loves it here and he was excited for us to have the opportunity to pitch together again," Jackson said.
Adding more pitching has been a priority for the Cubs, who used a franchise-record 30 pitchers in 2012. Baker is coming back from Tommy John surgery and Garza was shut down July 21 because of right elbow problems. Garza began throwing in mid-December, and Hoyer reported everything has gone well. Baker has said he'll be ready in Spring Training.
The list of Cubs starters now includes Jackson, Garza, Baker, Feldman, Jeff Samardzija, Travis Wood and Arodys Vizcaino, acquired from the Braves in the Paul Maholm deal last July. Vizcaino, however, also is coming back from Tommy John surgery.
The addition of Jackson will not cost the Cubs a Draft pick. He became available after the Nationals declined to make him a qualifying offer.
Having played for the White Sox in 2010-11, Jackson knows Chicago, and didn't have to convince his fiancee that it was a good place to call home in the summer. He's also enthused about the Cubs, who are coming off a 101-loss season.
"It's an organization that has an upside to it," Jackson said. "It's definitely a team that can go out and win a lot of ballgames, regardless of what anyone says, and that was definitely a factor in our decision."
Now, it's back to wedding details.
"I'm not really nervous about either," he said about the pending nuptials and starting for the Cubs. "I'm trying to calm my nerves. With wedding planning, two people can't be nervous."

Forum Post: Auction 2012: Two-Party Oligarchy Vs. The People
Posted 5 years ago on Oct. 15, 2012, 9:18 p.m. EST by SparkyJP
from Westminster, MD
This content is user submitted and not an official statement
I just got this in email and I thought I'd share:
Published on Oct 15, 2012 by AmpedStatus
This video is a political statement protected by Anonymous and Fair Use laws. It is NOT approved by the Romney and Obama campaigns, as they are both bought and paid for by corrupt short-sighted greed-addicted oligarchs.
Anyone who pays attention knows that our political system is corrupt and unsustainable. Our elections have devolved into auctions. Our future is sold to the highest bidder. It's the two-party oligarchy versus the people.
The presidential debates are a tragic joke on the American people, a puppet show lacking legitimacy. Our government is rigged against hardworking Americans through blatant political bribery: campaign finance, lobbying and the revolving door between Washington and the world's most corrupt corporations.
Send a message to the old world aristocrats: This will be the last presidential election of the partisan dinosaur era. The meteor has hit. Both parties are now obsolete and will soon be swept into the dustbin of history. A critical mass of people are now aware and engaged. The evolution has begun...
We know of a new world.

Good on ya mate.
I am running 1.3.9h with 9 mods and with lots of hand coded customizations (starting from proper calculation of items with discounted prices, which was a big issue for exporting data into quickbooks, and finishing with some customizations in admin area to have the authorize.net confirmation code on order page.). i was thinking to do the clean 1.5.0 install and then to load the existing database into it as well then follow the database upgrade, because lots of issues as i can see fixed in new version. But again ill need to know the timing store will be down, because its a very large store, and existing user database counts about 5000 users. I also have couple more questions, such as will user login info remain the same for a user in this kind of upgrade, and also will my pages urls remain the exact same (i have ultimate seo urls installed). any advice would be very appreciated.
Nowhere is it stated that anyone should take down their site to upgrade. You need to take another look at the FAQ.

I don't answer support questions via PM. Post add-on support questions in the support thread. The question & the answer will benefit others with similar issues.
You do all the work of file merging, custom file transferring, etc. on a test copy of your site, so that when it comes to upgrading your live site (by whichever route of those suggested) you know exactly what to do and have the new files packaged/arranged to make the switchover quickly while the site is down for maintenance. So it could take as little as a couple of minutes if you are well organized.
Your customers' info will be unaffected; you should ask in the Ultimate SEO support thread about maintaining your rewritten URLs.
Last edited by gjh42; 3 May 2012 at 03:34 PM.
thank you so much guys... this upgrade looks like a big headache. i was thinking... what if i build 1.5.0 in another folder with a new db from scratch, will it be possible to load the existing users, their address books, orders/products/prices etc into it later, and then rename the folder back into where the store was before? i already did converted the existing database once from xcart into zen-cart last year... we cant have down time and it looks like if ill go with upgrade ill have to close the store at least for several days.
You will have a problem with the new Ultimate SEO URL disappearing from the admin following the DB upgrade (which-ever upgrade method you use). See my post # 27 here:
By far, getting Ultimate SEO URL working properly took the longest...although I have a little more rebuilding to (hopefully) sail through.

Only 10 days after he was picked up by the rams, the Titus Young Saga continues with him reportedly about to be released. This guy is a crazy muthafucka doe.
Sad Trombone.
Karma is a b-tch.
A butch? Batch? Botch? I don't get it.
/s just in case, yeah you know who you are
Was thinking maybe a new team would help this guy out. Apparently not. Hopefully he can still turn things around somewhere.
Common Brownies!
You know you want him. The sad thing is he actually would help our recieiving corp and nobody would notice or care if he lined up wrong. Hell it might help Weedon a bit if guys just ran around aimlessly.
every time i see your avatar now i think of that nut job screaming WHORE WHORE WHORE at you with his eyes buggin gout of his head.
Every time I see my avatar I think about my wife. But that dude was memorable if only for his insanity.
But, but, he's better than Calvin Johnson... Just ask him!
I've seen this film before, with fat Mike Williams, who dogged it so he could skip town.... isn't it obvious that Young wants to play in the warm weather back out west, where he is from ? He didn't want the cold weather Rams to claim him. Expect that he will surface with one of the three California teams.
Didn't Tennessee just pick him up a few weeks ago??
Edit: Must have been St. Louis
Who would take him? The Rams got him, in part, because they were the only team to put a claim on him. He's blown through two teams in a massively public way. He has not produced on the field enough to compensate for his behavior. He's not Moss, Owens, or even Ochocinco (who I always thought was more fun than trouble).
Agreed. He doesn't have the talent to go with the drama. There are probably 20 WRs in this year's draft who have his talent (or close to it) without the baggage, and there will be 20 more the year after that. At WR, unless you're a true #1 guy, you're a dime a dozen.
I do think it's weird that the receiver position seems to generate a disproportionate amount of prima donnas, especially given how easily replaceable the vast majority of receivers are in the NFL. Like you said, if you're not an elite #1, there are more than enough people who could take your place.
They certainly have more divas per capita than any other position. Maybe because it's probably the toughest position to really get established in the NFL.
More WRs leave early from college than any other position (because it's easier to be pro-ready if you're good) and the good ones play forever. In addition, so many college teams play 4- or 5-wide nowadays that the WR pool is enormous.
That said, Titus Young got a little premature with his diva-ness. Even Chad Johnson and TO waited until they were at the top until they really let their diva shine.
The story cites a Detroit News piece saying the Lions wanted Young to get help for serious emotional and mental issues." If Young is going that far "deep undercover" to get out of playing in Detroit, he should try police work or acting.
I think it is more likely that Titus Young has taken too many head shots, and is already suffering early effects of CTE. Players are starting to "snap" at younger and younger ages now.
Part of me wants him to rot in hell for being such a pusbag with the Lions, but the more humane part of me hopes that it isn't too late for him to get help if he needs it.
Seeing as how St. Louis was the only team to pick him up and now he's ruined that, I wouldn't count on seeing him playing out west. His career could be over.
He's done
I would be VERY surprised if he was picked up by an NFL team. He is a lockerroom cancer evident from his Twitter outbursts, and his multiple suspensions from the Lions. He is most likely to languish in the CFL, or more likely the Arena League.
Is anyone else not the least bit surprised that Rob Parker now writes for a website called "The Shadow League?." I am also picking up a bit of irony that he would report on this particular story. Did I use irony correctly there? This board makes me so paranoid sometimes.
Chump. Until he mans up and gets the help he obviously needs for his mental health issues, I'm not gonna pretend I don't take quite a bit of schadenfreude from seeing him fail. Purposely sabotaging the Packers game, of all games, is a great way to be on a shit list for a long, long time.
is very surprising from such a high character kid.
this guy is destined to be a Raider. He'll go there and have an irrelevant career, put up mediocre numbers, and fade into oblivion. What a damn waste of talent.
Too bad for Titus that Al Davis is dead.
Nation's Untalented Fast Wide Receivers Mourn Passing of Only Employer.
Titus Young is the AT&T of football players.
""We felt like by claiming Titus, we would have the opportunity to spend a good deal of time with him," Fisher said. "We spent four or five days with him, and as an organization -- at the end of the interview process, you might call it -- we felt it was best to go in another direction." - from the Yahoo! piece
The net result of this is that the Rams' human resources people surely have stories that they could tell their grandchildren regarding the answers to some of the questions, I am sure.
"How would you describe your experience as a wide receiver?"
"I didn't get the football and I don't want to play anymore..."
in 6 months, what a pathetic waste of an opportunity, but I guess he was justified because the Lions "dithrepected " him
Nice to see the kkk is alive and well on the mgoboard
See, I can post a stupid comment too
It's clear this kid has some mental Heath issues so let's hope he gets the help he needs. What we as a fan base should be worried about are these horrible draft choices the organization has made, lets say second round late first round (Best) and beyond. Is the talent/behavior evaluation that's been going on this suckie ? or bad luck with health, I mean wtf. Just like past years our first rounder will probably be a no brainer but I'm scared to death as to what the rest of our draft will pan out to be.
is Bipolar or something, needs professional help.
Wonder how Chris Peterson at Boise kept the guy in check... Unless of course he didn't and nothing was reported because .... It's Boise Idaho.
Peterson actually had to suspend Young for an entire year while he was at BSU so yeah...he's always been a tool
Dude deserves nothing.
To South Beach.
The only thing he successfully sabotaged was his career. Bazinga.

On Tap This Week: Apple and Microsoft Events, Earnings Galore
The staff at AllThingsD is generally a very busy bunch. But the next five days promise to be particularly jam-packed with news from some of the biggest names in tech.
(For the record, these are only some of the events that are scheduled to occur. There are also contingencies in place for unplanned events — like, say, Google accidentally publishing its earnings release hours before it was supposed to.)
From Apple's iPad Mini event to Yahoo, Facebook and Amazon's earnings, here's a breakdown of the week to come:
Monday, Oct. 22: Yahoo's third-quarter report is on deck for after hours. As you may recall, CEO Marissa Mayer's first day on the job was July 17, the same day Yahoo reported second-quarter earnings. So, technically, this will be the first time investors will have a chance to hear from the new boss — that is, if she makes an appearance on the call.
Tuesday, Oct. 23: First thing Tuesday morning, we'll be live at the highly anticipated Apple event in San Jose. Invitations were sent out last week, simply saying, "We've got a little more to show you." Hint, hint. In addition to the more compact iPad that everyone has been anticipating, we we might also see a 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display and perhaps a new Mac Mini. In the afternoon, it's Facebook's turn to report third-quarter earnings. Last month, Mark Zuckerberg made his first appearance since going public to explain what had gone wrong over the past year. But given that the company's stock has done nothing but fall since (minus one small bump), it seems the company will have some more explaining to do.
Wednesday, Oct. 24: Zynga's third-quarter earnings call hits after the bell, and thanks to its preliminary report we already know what we're going to get: Bad things. The company warned it was missing both third-quarter and full-year guidance. Expect CEO Mark Pincus to provide a cost-cutting plan to help the company return to profitability.
Thursday, Oct. 25: The two A's report quarterly results today — Amazon and Apple. Pretty routine stuff here. Look for Apple to discuss iPhone 5 sales figures and for Amazon to say zilch about how many Kindle Fires it is selling. In addition, Microsoft will be hosting a press event in New York City to "celebrate Windows 8," including a Microsoft Surface Reception. The next day it starts making the software — and computers running it — available to the public. It's also when Microsoft plans to start selling its own tablet, known as Surface.
Correction: In the original version of this post, it incorrectly stated that the Microsoft event was set for Friday, Oct. 26. The post has been updated to reflect that the event is actually on Thursday, Oct. 25.

November 18, 2009 > Minimally Invasive Procedure Offers an Option to Hysterectomy
Interventional Radiologist Discusses Treatment Options for Uterine Fibroids
As medical technology advances, it often brings with it exciting news. For many patients seeking treatment today, there are better options in the form of minimally invasive procedures that are now available.Minimally invasive means just what it sounds like. As little invasion of the body as possible. And that's what Dr. Bruce Lin, Washington Hospital Medical Staff interventional radiologist (IR), is offering to women seeking treatment for uterine leiomyomas, also called uterine fibroids.Fibroids, which are benign tumors of the uterus, can grow as large as 20 centimeters - or about eight inches, but most women may not even know they have them."Many fibroids are not symptomatic," Dr. Lin explains. "As much as 90 percent of overall fibroids do not cause significant symptoms. Most women present with heavy bleeding or menses, called menorrhagia, and some may even become anemic due to excessive bleeding."For women experiencing symptoms of uterine fibroids, treatment can significantly improve quality of life."Many symptomatic women have discomfort, pain, and pressure in the pelvis, the back and even the legs. Some may experience pain during sexual intercourse. There are also symptoms due to enlargement of the uterus from large fibroids; these include urinary frequency due to the enlarged uterus pressing on the bladder, and constipation from the pressure on the intestine."As an interventional radiologist (IR), Dr. Lin represents a subset of physicians specializing in minimally invasive treatments throughout the body using imaging guidance like flouroscopy, CT and ultrasound."We work with micro-tools especially developed for these procedures to perform treatments that were traditionally accomplished with open surgery," Dr. Lin says. "IRs undergo more sub-specialized training after diagnostic radiology to master basic and advanced interventional procedures and obtain further certification in this subspecialty."Previously, the standard option for women needing treatment for uterine fibroids was surgical removal of the uterus, known as a hysterectomy. Dr. Lin's advanced training offers women in the Tri-City area another alternative.Embolization is a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure that involves the intentional occlusion or blockage of the blood vessels feeding the fibroid by introducing an object that impedes blood flow to the growth."Once the fibroids are deprived of normal blood supply and the oxygen and nutrients carried by it, they will undergo degeneration and begin to shrink," Dr. Lin says.The result?"Studies have shown that at three to five months after the procedure, the average reduction of fibroid volume is at least 60 percent and uterine volume can decrease by a similar percentage," Dr. Lin reveals. "Approximately 85 to 95 percent of our patients see positive improvements." Dr. Lin cites data collected by the Fibroid Registry for Outcomes Data (FIBROID) showing that a three-year follow up indicates durable and excellent results. Patient satisfaction, according to studies published by the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR - www.sirweb.org) and Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), has also been very high for the procedure.And what does this mean for the patient? A great deal, according to Dr. Lin."Minimally invasive procedures minimize the risks, such as morbidity and mortality, associated with the more invasive surgical alternatives," he says. "Also, because the procedure is performed through small punctures or incisions, the recovery time is much shorter than the surgical alternatives."Patients are able to return to normal routine and work sooner and feel better in a shorter period of time. Frequently, minimally invasive procedures are also less costly to the patient and the medical system."Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE), according to Dr. Lin, represents a highly effective uterus-conserving therapy for treatment of fibroids. Since the treatment requires minimal incisions, patients experience almost no blood loss, allowing them to return their daily lives much faster."Now women who do not wish to undergo a hysterectomy for their fibroid problems have a viable alternative," he says.The UFE procedure has been performed since the mid-1990s, and, according to Dr. Lin, the technique has advanced tremendously and the outcome data has been validated by many studies."UFE is now considered a level A treatment option to hysterectomy for fibroids by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG)," Dr. Lin notes.Dr. Lin, who has been performing the procedure since 2000, says the most important element of the procedure is that patients' quality of life is vastly improved with minimal recovery time.To find out more about services and programs offered at Washington Hospital, visit www.whhs.com. About Uterine Fibroid EmbolizationBefore performing the uterine fibroid embolization procedure, a baseline magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the pelvis is necessary to characterize the fibroids, their numbers, locations and sizes.Once the MRI is completed, a preliminary consultation with an interventional radiologist (IR) is conducted to answer a patient's questions and assess whether or not the patient is a good candidate for UFE based on the symptoms and the MRI findings.After treatment, patients are monitored by MRI to assess for viability of the fibroids, shrinkage of fibroids and uterus, and necessity for re-intervention.Following the procedure, patients are admitted overnight for pain control and observation. Most patients are discharged home the next day with pain medications and antibiotics and are able to resume work or normal schedule in one to two weeks with few exceptions.

X2 Make sure the filler neck isn't rusting out anywhere, and none of the rubber hoses in that area are cracked or split. Check the hoses at the vapor canister as well. That might be behind the right rear wheel under the car or it might be under the hood.
Take the salt trap, I mean plastic shroud, off of the fuel neck and have a look.

According to the endlink article, the canister should be located in the rear luggage compartment. I don't see it there either.
Lastly, I can't turn off the CEL light for this code. I can clear the code but the CEL won't go off until the third or fourth time the code re-appears and is cleared. Then, after a day or two, the CEL light comes on again and we start the same sequence over again.

To my knowledge I have the full FSM for a 97 Impreza L in PDF form. I found several pages on the EVAP system including a full assembly page on the fuel tank/ system. I am going to see if I can locate the reference page the diagnostics section is referring to and see what that says about p0440.

I bought and installed a brand new Subaru gas cap today. Also by co-incidence filled the tank on my way home. Thanks for the all-data info. My problem is I have no clue where to find the canister or purge solenoid.
I don't know if you have already seen this or not, but it gives some basic steps to follow for your problem. I hope it helps!

I also have the complete FSM for a '97 Impreza also. With the info there, I still haven't found the canister or solenoid. Neither of them are in the rear passenger well and there are no rubber hoses on the filler assembly. I don't have a select monitor, so I can't follow the diagnostics until I locate the parts.
Hopefully the new gas cap did the trick. I'll see tomorrow if the CEL comes on again.
Posted 18 August 2010 - 12:10 AM
What page is that info on? I haven't found that specific info yet.
I am pretty sure I found the area in FSM that has what you need. It says to remove rear right wheel, Remove bolts (3 bolts) which install protector cover on body, while releasing the underside of the protector unhook it. It shows the evap hoses underneath that protector plate.
Also I have a diagram for the fuel delivery system, return, and EVAP.
Posted 18 August 2010 - 12:45 AM
The canister is under the hood and is round on the passenger side behind the headlight.
The purge valve is on the intake manifold and under the risers.
I would say the cap is about a 50/50 on this code, the other half are almost always corroded fuel filler neck or bad hoses near there.
Posted 18 August 2010 - 02:36 AM
On my 1997 impreza sedan there is a mysterious black canister behind the passenger side headlight that has a couple hoses going to it. I think I can smell gas vapors when I undo those hoses so that might be what you are looking for.
If you can't find the pages I listed, I would be happy to email them to you as they are all in easily accessible pdfs on my computer.
Posted 18 August 2010 - 09:51 AM
if under the hood it's about the size of a quaker oats container, 5-6" diameter, ~8" tall and black hoses run from it to the front corner of the engine just under the power steering lines near the passenger side fuel rail? .
hope this helps.

'97 Impreza L wagon with 5MT transmission (189K on the car) dropped this code on me recently. It will clear, but comes back the next day. I've checked the gas cap and it looks okay; and it's tight. Not sure where we would go from here.
i have a '97 Legecy wagon (5speed, awd, 210k), and i'm having a similiar problem.
The check engine light is usually on. My local tire shop will read (and clear) the code for me -PO440- which should be a large evap leak with the only symptom being that you should smell gas around the car. Well, no gas smell, no change in gas consumption, and if i keep the tank at 3/4 full or more, the light will stay off. If it's on, it will even turn itself off after a week or so of not letting the tank drop below 3/4 tank. Earlier in the summer, we did have a pinhole leak in the fuel tank filler tube (that had been hidden under the shield), but we have replaced that (although the new one did not have the little plasic flap in it that the old one did).
We have also replaced the gas cap... and keep it tightly closed.
Anyone have any ideas?

Posted 22 August 2010 - 07:40 PM
Well, I spoke too soon; after a few days and a trip to WCSS12 and back the code returned shortly after I gassed up.
Well, so far so good. A whole day and a half without the CEL lighting up since I replaced the gas cap. I'll wait to see if the code stays gone for a week before I'll declare it fixed. Thanks to everyone who replied.
When I got home I checked the engince compartment for the charcoal cannister and it's not there. Without taking any paneling or covers off the rear I haven't found it in the rear luggage area or passenger side wheel well of my wagon.:-\

Did you get the p0440 code immediately after you fixed the pin hole leak? I would re-inspect the evap system (all of the hoses and the canisters) and possibly look into the fuel tank pressure sensor? If the sensor was reading incorrectly it may only register with a certain amount pressure, therefore a tank with 3/4+ would trigger it to read correctly? Thats just a theory, I am not sure how the ECU interprets fuel pressure information in relation to the EVAP system.
No, as odd as this sounds, we've been getting the PO 440 code on and off for around a year. Ever since i decided to try to let the gas run very low to see if there is a warning light that would let you know when you get down to the last gallon. Up until then, we had no trouble. What happened was, i would let the tank run low... no -low fuel- warning light would come on, and then i would get nervous about running out, and get gas. i finally put a small can of gas in the car, so i wouldn't worry about it, and instead of a low fuel warning light coming on, the cel came on instead -at least that's how it seems. Ever since then it as spent pretty much time on. The local mechanic i use read the code, checked what he knew to look for and advised me to make sure i keep the gas cap tight. He's looked under there a few times, and has never noticed a problem. We discovered the pin hole leak, because one time i went to the store (which is very close to the gas station) right after filling it, and gas was leaking on the parking lot.
i will have my husband and brother (a GM mechanic) check the evap system -hoses, etc - and actually also read them your post.
My brother has been thinking it might be the pressure sensor, but he is unfamiliar with the Subaru system (and -whenever i have a problem with my car- is always making snarky comments about Subarus).
Do you know where the pressure sensor is?

What car do you drive again? I can check my FSM's for the pressure sensor when I get back home from my trip.

I visited richierich's shop in Portland yesterday and he put it on the lift and I now know where the cannister and purge solenoid are (not in the rear wheel well, but behind the wheel). He did find any bad hose or faulty wiring. However, everything is covered with a thin coating of mud from the rallycross activity. I'll pressure was off the mud and viisit pull a part and yank a "younger" cannister and purge solenoid (I'm pushing 192K on my Impreza) and install them on my car. No point in spending about $300 in new parts trying to "guess" which part is bad.
Did he hook the smoke machine up to it to look for leaks?

The VGutopia staff answer the question "Should Mass Effect 4 be a sequel or a prequel?"
Neither, it just needs to go away. Their just going to keep digging that hole deeper until every last bit of what made ME good is gone. (Assuming you aren't like me, in which case its already long gone.)
New IP would be a better way to go IMO.
Unless it's like ME1 (the best in the series), then neither. But in all seriousness, I don't see where they can go with the series anymore. It's over.
They could make a spin-off story that is set during the events of the ME series, adapting the story depending on choices made by Shep. Of course, the game would feature a new protagonist - for this, I could imagine you picking a race, class and origin akin to Dragon Age Origins.
The game would let you perceive the most significant events that unfold in the wake of Shep's many decisions, through the eyes of one of the implicated races. Imagine playing as a Krogan, struggeling to find a cure for the genophage, or a Salarian trying to prevent this.
Or as a Quarian on his/her pilgrimage amidst all that is going on, a geth who gains a conscience or even a Batarian witnessing his entire system being wiped out.
The game could lead you into an "N7" crew akin to those of ME3's Multiplayer - having you scour the galaxy, rescueing survivors from the Reaper / Collector invasions.
It would be a character/story centric game based on the events made by the players in the original games - the backdrop story, of course, being the main ME storyline, but the "little" story of the individual amidst the turmoil imo, would be just as (if not more) interesting.
There is no shortage of stories to tell
Sequel with Liara and Garrus as heads of the Mass Effect squadmates trying to keep on with Shep's "legacy"

Tina Caswell, clinical instructor in the Department of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology, recently appeared on internet radio show Horses in the Morning to discuss Strides, a program she developed to help non-verbal or low-verbal autistic children improve communication skills through horseback riding.
Caswell spoke with hosts Glenn The Greek and Jamie Jennings during a 10-minute segment on the Sept. 30 broadcast, explaining how coupling the calming act of horseback riding and an iPad programmed with speech software can help autistic children communicate in a way they couldn't otherwise.
Strides, Caswell says, addresses two of the biggest hurdles these children face by helping them focus and providing an outlet to express themselves. For example, a child who one minute is running around the barn, trying to find sensory experience will often relax once they get on the horse.
"That horse seems to take all of that extra energy and just take it into their body," Caswell said during the interview. "This kid is, wow, all of a sudden focused, attentive, looking at me, looking at the side walkers, looking at the lead walkers, and being able to communicate more effectively because they have the attention to what's going on and they're motivated."
This focus allows Caswell to reach the child more directly and understand what they're trying to express, a challenge which can be even more frustrating than it sounds.
"These kids think. They have words in their head," Caswell explained. "It's just, how do they express themselves and actually share that language with the verbal world? So we're working on trying to help them express themselves because I know they have a lot to say."
Caswell shared the story of eight-year old Luke, a child who had fallen off a horse before joining the Strides program. Luke was scared to try horseback riding again and vocalized very loudly when they put him back on the horse.
To help Luke feel like he was being heard, Caswell programmed four phrases into the iPad which Luke could play by pressing a button:
I'm scared.
Don't let me fall.
I fell off a horse.
I will be brave.
Luke pressed each of the buttons, letting the Strides staff know exactly how he felt, and immediately had a new approach to the experience.
"The vocalization stopped, he calmed down, he melted into that big, beautiful, animal and had a beautiful ride," Caswell said. "He just needed to validate to us that 'Don't let me fall off. I've fallen off before. And I will try to be as brave as I can.'"
For more information about the Strides program you can listen to the complete segment with Caswell here or read an article from Ithaca College.

Bad Breath often Accompanies a Cold
By Dr. Harold Katz - Bad Breath Expert
Posted: June 27, 2011When the weather is funky like it has been, it s not uncommon to get a cold or flu. As unpleasant as a cold already is, did you know that bad breath can also be the result of a cold?
The connection of feeling under the weather with a nasal cold and bad breath is one that has been known for some time now. For example, an 1889 in issue of The Clinical Reporter discusses catarrh which is now an unused term for the thick mucus that often accompanies a cold. The Clinical Reporter was a homeopathic medicine and surgery journal.
The report suggested using a mix of water, salt and peroxide to combat catarrh- the inflamed mucus membranes. The salt in the solution will clear up the mucus, while the spray of peroxide will remove all odor and bad breath in most cases. While the author had good intentions, we definitely don t suggest you ingest peroxide, but he was on the right track. Instead, may we suggest visiting your doctor to see what they recommend? If you are self-conscious about the smell from the mucus in your sinuses, definitely try our TheraBreath PLUS Nasal-Sinus Drops. It is a powerful formula that cleanses the throat and tonsil and can be used as often as you d like.
If you want to go one step further, we would suggest trying either our Tonsil Stones Starter Kit or our Tonsil Stones Deluxe Kit. The Starter Kit has all of our powerful, natural formulas that will help clean up the mucus in your throat and tonsils. The Deluxe Kit not only has the nasal drops and throat spray but also comes with our Toothpaste and Oral Rinse it truly has everything you need to keep the foul odor in your throat and sinuses at bay.
When you re under the weather, it definitely seems like your cold will never end. But fear not, while medicine may be necessary to fight the bugs, we re got you covered with the products you need to keep your breath fresh while the rest of you recovers.

They feel respected in the workplace.They feel safe in the workplace.
There is extremely low turnover where I work. Well, among those that last more than a few months. I think a big part is that it is run by good, smart, hard-working people who don't mess up or do things halfway. For example, I've always hated company parties. I love this companies Christmas party (held in Jan because December is really busy for us). Was at a family-style restaurant and they chose the good stuff, and good wine at the open bar. One of the higher-ups got a large box of fruit from a customer. He left it in the break room. It was a hit. Now we always have good fruit in the break room. An official company poster in one of the conference rooms looks like a typical feel-good poster. It says "Meetings: No one is dumb as all of us."

RAW VIDEO: Tornado near Adairsville, Georgia
(CNN) — A weather system stretching from Michigan to the Louisiana coastline threw down high winds and spawned a handful of tornadoes Wednesday, causing damage across several states and claiming at least one life.
A 47-year-old man died early Wednesday when high winds toppled a tree onto the roof of his home in Nashville, the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency said. Other injuries were reported in Chester, McNairy and Henderson counties, spokesman Jeremy Heidt said.
The National Weather Service reported severe weather or damage Wednesday in Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky and Indiana.
A crew for CNN affiliate WSB-TV saw a tornado touch down in Adairsville, Georgia, on Wednesday. The tornado destroyed a home and flipped several cars, the station reported. Citing Floyd County officials, the station also reported someone trapped inside a home there after a tree fell on it.
The weather service reported overturned cars and major structural damage in downtown Adairsville. The agency also reported multiple buildings damaged in Calhoun, Georgia.
Southern Alabama, northern Georgia and parts of Tennessee and Kentucky were under tornado watches Wednesday afternoon, the weather service said.
Earlier, in Alabama, the storms blew the metal roof off a building in Sheffield, CNN affiliate WHNT said. The storm also damaged a church steeple in Rogersville, the station reported.
In Kentucky, winds blew off much of the roof of the Penrod Missionary Baptist Church and damaged several homes, CNN affiliate WFIE reported.
In Nashville, the weather service listed dozens of damage reports across the region: a funnel cloud was reported early Wednesday in Jackson County, there were dozens of reports of downed trees and power lines, and law enforcement reported damage to homes and businesses.
CNN affiliate WSMV also reported the partial collapse of an office building in Mount Juliet.
"I built it myself to take an event like this. And it looks like a freight train hit it," the station quoted building owner Dewey Lineberry as saying. "It's just destroyed. It laid the building down on top of cars, it put the building on top of people. It's unbelievable."
Workers who were inside the building when the storm hit took cover under mattresses, the station said.
The storm came dangerously close to WSMV, the station reported: Workers had to move to a safe room when a buzzer in the newsroom alerted them of storm danger around 4 a.m. (5 a.m. ET) Wednesday, the station reported.
In Wilson County, Tennessee, strong winds damaged four buildings, though it was not immediately known if it was the result of a tornado, Emergency Management Director John Jewell told CNN.
One family became trapped inside their mobile home and were rescued, he said.
About 14,000 people in the country were without power, Jewell added.
On Tuesday, the storms raked Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi, among other places, with heavy rains and high winds.
William Jones waited out the storm with his family inside their truck, CNN affiliate KFSM reported.
"We pulled over and come to stop and about the same time we stopped was when it started to cross the road about 100-150 yards ahead of us," the station quoted him as saying. "We watched it tear out all the trees, throw the debris in the road."
A large springlike storm system is pushing severe thunderstorms, damaging winds and unstable conditions favorable for tornadoes eastward through the Mississippi Valley.
Heavy gusts in excess of 70 mph could bring significant damage. "I think it's definitely a dangerous night and day," CNN meteorologist Ivan Cabrera said.
The system should not produce a mass of tornadoes, since there is not a lot of cloud rotation, Cabrera said. The storm poses "mainly a straight-line threat."
In spite of this, tornado watches have been issued all along the weather system. Wind advisories extend from the Deep South to Virginia, the weather service said.
Flood warnings and watches speckle the weather map from Michigan to southern Louisiana. Many regions should see heavy downpours, Cabrera said, but the front is not expected to stall out and dump excessive amounts of precipitation in any particular area.
The wet weather is predicted to trigger winter storms in the northern Plains states. A freezing rain advisory is in effect for much of Iowa and Wisconsin.
The system is forecast to weaken during the day Wednesday but will still pack potentially dangerous weather conditions for the southeastern United States.
