The merging of computers and cars has done wonderful things: improved fuel efficiency; ensured that you never get lost (or at least not for long); and helped to track every aspect of your car's performance and offer up diagnostics for your mechanic. And, of course, there's the cool little keys that will unlock the car as you get close to it. That last one, unfortunately, isn't quite so good now that hackers have cracked the code of how to unlock your car remotely.
Don Bailey and Matthew Solnick invented this contraption, and they call it "war texting." It works like this: Your car can send and receive wireless signals, which is how it interacts with your key fob or other device. Generally these cars use cellular networks; they're cheap, widely available, and pretty much everybody owns a cell phone these days, making it easy for even the least technologically-savvy customer to use. Using parts you can buy in any electronics store, Bailey and Solnick reverse-engineered the cars' wireless systems in a few hours. Then it's just a matter of finding your individual car's network and sending it the command via text message. Voila, your car is unlocked.
Fortunately for car owners everywhere, Bailey and Solnick are "white hats"; hackers whose job it is to find system vulnerabilities before the bad guys, puzzle out how they might be attacked, and then create a defense against the attack. Unfortunately for the carmakers, Bailey and Solnick happen to be really good at their jobs: they cracked OnStar, Ford Sync, BMW Assist and Hyundai Blue Link in the space of a few hours. Even more unfortunately, their genius is not limited to just cars: security cameras, traffic systems, and others use telephone frequencies to accept orders and deliver information, and thus all of these systems are vulnerable.
Which raises the all-important question: how do you protect your car from thieves? First of all, it's worth remembering that these tools aren't in the hands of your average car thief yet: Bailey and Solnick are security professionals with advanced degrees, while your average car thief is a usually high school dropout with a brick. The carmakers are obviously working hard on a solution that might be implemented by the time you read this: in fact, your car might be updating its software right now, to prevent against vulnerabilities like this.
There's also the fact that car theft has actually dropped to a forty-year low: there just aren't that many car thieves out there right now.
Lastly, most cars have a second layer of protection; a certain key needs to be present to start the car. If possible, go into your car and disable any automatic start functions, which will guarantee that the only way a thief can move the car anywhere is by using a tow truck. Finally, make sure that you have copies of all your car's identifying information: VIN number, the title, any repair bills you may have had to pay. Keep that information in a safe place so if your car is stolen, you can get details to the police immediately.
Hackers may be able to pop your locks, but with a little foresight, you'll be the one shutting them down.

On January 11th, the 2015 Hard Shell Race Series will get under way. The first race in the series is the Resolution Beach & Trail 5k, this is also the 2nd race in the South County 4th Season Trail Race Series.[Not a valid template]
Check out Scott's Photos from the 2014 race.
Check out 2013's blog post!
This race was chosen for two reasons; #1 there are minimal races in January…but more importantly, there has been lots of Turtle participation and interest the the 4th Season Trail Series, we had 14 Turtles toed the line at Old Mountain Field for the first race in the series on 12/21/14.
Course Preview:
Starting on Scarborough Beach, you run south on the beach for approximately 1/2 mile before banging a u-turn and heading back north…you go right past the starting line, which will be about 1 mile. You then continue on the beach for another 0.3 mile until taking a left through some softer sand and a quick right, now heading slightly up hill through a dirt/grass path which pops out onto Ocean Road at 1.5. You continue uphill on Ocean Road until 1.7 miles, where you take a right into the Black Point Trail parking lot. Once through the lot, you will be on some hard packed gravel trails, which are a bit twisty (a good place to lose your competition) Shortly after getting on the gravel trails you will have a short downhill that turns into more grass/dirt trails, which follow along the cliffs at Black Point. These dirt paths continue until around 2.6 miles, when you will have to navigate through the old stone building structure, which then pops you back out onto the beach for the last 1/2 mile struggle trough some more beach running.
Bob's Course Tips:
Find hard sand. Heading towards the finish, after popping out onto the beach, stay low, near the water…do not start coming up to the finish until you need to. There is a lot of softer sand higher up on the beach. Conditions are everything on this course. In 2012 we had a dusting of snow, last year we had knee deep puddles. What will we see this year?
Sign up today! and see you on the 11th!

To give a brief history of Memorial Day:
Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service. There are many stories as to its actual beginnings, with over two dozen cities and towns laying claim to being the birthplace of Memorial Day. There is also evidence that organized women's groups in the South were decorating graves before the end of the Civil War: a hymn published in 1867, "Kneel Where Our Loves are Sleeping" by Nella L. Sweet carried the dedication "To The Ladies of the South who are Decorating the Graves of the Confederate Dead." (There is also evidence that these ladies also decorated the graves of the northern dead as well). While Waterloo N.Y. was officially declared the birthplace of Memorial Day by President Lyndon Johnson in May 1966, it's difficult to prove conclusively the origins of the day. It is more likely that it had many separate beginnings; each of those towns and every planned or spontaneous gathering of people to honor the war dead in the 1860's tapped into the general human need to honor our dead, each contributed honorably to the growing movement that culminated in Gen Logan giving his official proclamation in 1868. It is not important who was the very first, what is important is that Memorial Day was established. Memorial Day is not about division. It is about reconciliation; it is about coming together to honor those who gave their all. Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on 5 May 1868 by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, and was first observed on 30 May 1868, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery.
(Taken from the web site "Memorial Day History" - http://www.usmemorialday.org/backgrnd.html)
Greenfield Village continues the tradition of decorating the graves of our fallen soldiers by the laying of wreaths by women, dressed in Civil War era mourning attire, at the Garden of the Leavened Heart in front of the Martha-Mary Chapel.
And this is, perhaps, the most touching part of the entire three day weekend for the visitors. It is solely a tribute to our Nation's veterans, and those in attendance who served in the armed forces are asked to walk out onto the Village Green to be acknowledged as a group. It is truly a heart-felt scene - much more so than, say, a local parade with clowns, decorated bikes, fire engines, and local politicians. This is strictly for all American military veterans - past and present.
Simply awesome.
But, this is only part of the tribute. The whole Village plays a role in the holiday, and is turned into an 1860's town come alive by way of over 500 Civil War era reenactors, both military and civilian, camped out on the streets around the historic buildings situated there. On the east side of the Village Green, members of the cavalry, artillery, and infantry of both the north and south can be found in their respective camps, marching, drilling, and teaching the public about the life of a CW soldier. One can peak inside of a soldier's dog tent, learn the details about the muskets, hear the commands of an army from the mid-19th century, learn about eating hard tack, and, of course, watch a battle between the two sides.
There are times when the military will present different scenarios of camp life, sometimes showing the disciplining of a "drunken" soldier, for instance. Also, camp entertainment, with fiddles, guitars, and bones, can be heard at various locations.
Young patrons to the Village can "sign up" for the military at the Phoenixville Post Office and then learn how to march & drill and the manual of arms.
As for the actual reenactors in their authentic uniforms, it is truly an impressive sight to see the line of blue and/or gray along the street, ready for battle.
Women on the home front had to earn money while their men were off fighting. Here, a laundress and her helper earn pennies washing and mending clothing.
On the other side of the Village is the civilian encampment, where the visitor can see first hand how folks of the 1860's lived on the homefront. Now, it must be explained here that people at 'home' during this war did not live in tents, nor were there hundreds of camp followers all camped together. What is being shown is the way life was if these reenactors were able to use a house. Because the houses inside Greenfield Village are museums all in themselves, the living historians are, understandably not able to use the structures, so the visitor must imagine the tents as wood-framed homes.
It is in the civilian camp where the visitor will find cooking over an open fire, the women writing letters to their boys fighting in a far-off land, parlor games to keep the families left behind entertained, and the many differing occupations of the time.
One will also find the Christian Commission, Soldiers Aid Societies, and a Temperance Society. In other words, a typical group of people living in a 19th century village.
The patrons visiting Greenfield Village are always welcome to step up to the camps to observe and ask questions.
Aside from the reenactors, Greenfield Village provides entertainment by various musicians such as Camp Chase Fife & Drum and the Dodworth Saxhorn Band.
A period fashion show always draws a large audience, and the "Off to Prison Camp" at the Smiths Creek Depot gives an accurate presentation of life on the home front, with the women preparing packages for their men while the soldiers bring prisoners of war through the depot..
A mourning presentation at Adams Family Home shows how folks dealt with death during the Victorian era, and the Susquehanna Plantation gives visitors an idea of what it was like when a regiment took over a plantation home in the south.
There is so much to see and do on this weekend that the number of visitors to this event continue to rise, and I do not believe there is a bigger weekend for Greenfield Village.
With the 150 anniversary of the Civil War at hand, this Remembrance Weekend can only grow in size and scope.

It is by the moment only at midday but that is already whole world record and the way of Germany out of the nuclear energy trap.
This is certainly something in which Spain or Greece, countries with significantly much more solar input, could well imitate the Central European powerhouse. Of course it requires significant public investment to kickstart the production and that seems out of the question today but in fact it would importantly reduce the oil bill in the mid-run.
Whatever the case, the German example evidences that clean energy and development are not at all at odds, rather the opposite. Even Conservative actors, typically most reluctant when it comes to the environment, have realized in Germany the importance of developing renewable sources of energy.
Critics complain that the scheme adds 2 cents of cost per Kilowatt, with prices already very high (23 cents/Kw, almost double than I pay here). The price is however politically determined and could surely be lower.
On top of this record production out of sunlight, Germany also produces as much (somewhat more) from wind farms. In 2010 it was 17 GW from solar and 27 GW from wind (but solar is growing quite faster these days).
Ref. Reuters.
The efficiency and potentialities of of solar energy production have been decreasing in the last years quite fast:
|Click to expand - source: Wikipedia
Some technologies achieve already more than 40% efficiency rate. Others, while less efficient, are also cheaper to produce and easier to install. In general the efficiency has doubled or more in the last two decades and also (not apparent in the graph) the materials used have been reduced in cost. It is still a tad less economically efficient than burning gas or oil, if we do not consider the environmental costs, and has the problem of not being a la carte (you don't produce solar energy by night, so you have to store it somehow, with conversion costs, or use some other source). That is why a broad-spectrum energy strategy is always needed, including reduction of unnecessary expenditure by, for example, properly isolating homes in construction. But we must consider that oil and gas are every day more expensive, while their sources, almost invariably from remote lands, are often problematic and uncertain, and, very specially that burning causes pollution and global warming, renewables are the way to go - clearly so.

Did you know October is National Family History Month? I did not, at least not until the makers of the social genealogy game Family Village tipped me off. Sounds like a good time to build a village and learn about your past.
Developed by Funium, Family Village (Zynga probably wouldn't let them call it FamilyVille) allows players to create a virtual village that houses their entire family tree. Family members and ancestors migrating to the village arrive in garb appropriate to their era of origin. Once they arrive you can give them homes and jobs, which is more than most of us could do for our family members in real life.
As the family tree in the game grows players will uncover fun facts about their family members, while learning a little something about themselves in the process. For instance, I am never giving my mother a home. She can stand there with her bindle and look forlorn all she wants. It's not working, mum.

text: Altitude: 4,020m Climb: 520m Time: 2hr 10m Daily Cost: 4,960 rupees ($52/£31) This was going to be another short day. The altitude meant it would be a bad idea to go any further. High Camp is only 45 minutes after Thorong Phedi but it's another 300m to climb, which would be a dangerous altitude gain. High Camp is only safe to sleep at if you're coming from Letdar, which would have been dangerous to reach from Manang because that's about an 800m gain. As far as I can tell the only people who do Manang – Letdar – High Camp are those who have been to Tilicho Lake or those who disregard the advice on altitude. Almost all the trekkers we met were in the second group. Altitude doesn't affect everyone the same, so only a few people get ill, hence why people feel safe and ignore the advice! The night before the huge British group had received a prep talk from their guide. It was mostly the usual rubbish you get from guides, a list of figures of the mountains and heights (all guides do is set an itinerary and list mountain heights). But he'd announced the breakfast time. Armed with that information we made sure that we had breakfast after the group, giving them plenty of time to eat and get out. Why did I hate the group so much? Well, they were incredibly loud and because we could understand them it was harder to block out the words, every other word was LIKE, so nothing they said had any substance, just a bunch of likes strung out into a sentence, they said lots of stupid things, but mainly it was because groups (well the guide or leader) acts like the group owns the place! They tell people to move so the group can sit at the table, their food is the priority for the kitchen and all other trekkers have to wait, tables sometimes have reserved signs on them. This is why we either stay in lodges where there's no groups or if we accidentally (or have no choice) end up on a lodge with a group we do our best to avoid them. They really are annoying! As we ate breakfast the group assembled outside and headed off up the path. The weather was in our favour yet again. Blue skies and the sun was shining, although the air temperature was pretty low. It had snowed late in the afternoon and well into the evening the day before, now in the morning sun it looked great. The path was a bit muddy from the melting...Read More

What You Need To Know About Getting Started With Juicing Easily
If you have a hard time eating enough fruits and vegetables, juicing makes it much easier to take advantage of their full nutritional benefits. The following article will give you advice to make juicing easy and healthy.
There are different types of juicers to choose from. Masticating juicers are the best choice. The juice made by these juicers retains more nutrients due to the gentle extraction method they use. These are also more storage-friendly.
Use cucumber as an additive when juicing dark leafy greens. Dark greens, while nutritious, have a bitter and distinctive flavor that many people find unappetizing. Cucumber is great at masking the strong taste, while making your drink taste more refreshing. Cucumber is also very nutritious, especially if you don't peel it beforehand.
To make a healthy juice you should select a vegetable that is dark green in color for the base. At least half of the ingredients should be dark greens, such as broccoli or spinach. Add a fruit for the rest of the drink to improve the taste.
Juice can be considered an entire meal. Once you are more experienced and know how much produce you'll need for a glass of juice, it will be easier to do. Drink your juice by itself, so that the vitamins and minerals get absorbed into your bloodstream quickly.
Keep the juicer out on your kitchen counter so that you see it every day. You will use it more if it is in sight. By keeping it visible at all times, you will be more likely to use it.
Keeping juice in the refrigerator can be handy, but the juice may turn color. Nobody wants to drink fruit or vegetable juice that has turned brown or grey. To protect the appealing colors of your juices, add a few teaspoons of lemon or lime juice to the blend. The lemon won't change the flavor all that much, but will preserve the look of the juice.
When juicing, consider using vegetables or fruits that would not normally appeal to you and use other components to mask their flavor. This is helps you get all the nutrients you need. Mask unpleasant flavors by adding some lemon or apple to your juice.
Add as many low-calorie foods to your juice to increase its nutritional value and help burn fat. These items include dark greens like kale or broccoli, cabbage, and herbs. High fiber fruits also work well.
Fresh juice is a wonderful source of many vitamins and minerals. Juices can provide the energy you to need to power through your workouts, and if they contain protein, they can help build muscle. If you workout a lot you should eat plenty of vegetables and fruits that will aid you building you electrolytes back up. Adding whey protein is also good because it can help rebuild muscle.
Juicing is even easier and more fun when the whole family gets involved in the process. Children can rinse off the fruit while an adult starts chopping it.
You should know that some juices can have an affect on your teeth. Your teeth may become discolored if you drink certain juices. Richly colored juices from vegetables, like beets or carrots are more likely to contribute to staining. Brush your teeth immediately after consuming juices made with these veggies if you have stain-prone teeth.
As you already know, juicing is great for anyone who wants to give their body nutrients while at the same time avoiding having to directly eat vegetables. Incorporate the tips here into your daily life and start enjoying the many bonuses from the process of juicing.

Mystery bug named!
Thanks to Dr Cecil Smith at the GMNH, the mystery bug has a name: it's Microvelia americana, a tiny water strider. A larger relative of this strider may be viewed on my water strider page, and you can see the similarity in shape (Rhagovelia, near the bottom of the page):
Water striders
The above photo was taken by Jim Flynn on 14 Nov 2003. This was in Clinch County, Georgia (next to the FL border in the southeast). He had just watched the male Orthemis ferruginea (Roseate Skimmer) consume a small bee, when he noticed the small bug (Hemiptera) dangling from the skimmer's mouthparts. It is unknown how the strider became attached to the skimmer mouthparts, but one possibility is that it became caught when the skimmer was taking some water in flight. If you have a better theory, please let me know...

With this, you will be able to have the best that comes with this. Most of the time, you will be able to have the right kind of communication amongst devices as well as smart posters. This is also to be able to use the smart cards as well as be able to use the unpowered tags. This is to be able to replace the earlier used one-way kinds of communication.
Near Field Communication and Commerce
These devices provide the use of having connections with an ability to have some contactless payment systems. This is to mean they have a close similarity to the use of credit cards as well as a method to have some electronic smartcards to act as tickets. With this kind of technology, no matter how novice it could be, it is possible to have payments that emanate from mobile phones or even for the mobile phones to supplement such payments. You also need to look at the example provided by Google Wallet that will allow consumers to be able to have their credit card information stored on a virtual wallet. With this, the use of the NFC enabled device will be able to produce some advantages when using it on the terminal during checkout. These terminals need to be able to accept the services of the MasterCard Paypass kinds of transactions. As well, some countries such as Austria and Germany have the use of the system provided by NFC to be able to have a ticketing system for meant for public transport.
Near Field Communication and the Social network

Following my high level description of OpenStack, I now delve in the install of OpenStack
This post is a manual install of OpenStack on Centos. Although the steps are detailed here: http://docs.openstack.org/folsom/openstack-compute/install/yum/content/ my experience was that the output of each command results in text strings that are required in subsequent commands. Thus I have colour coded each text string output so that the text can be accurately used in subsequent commands.
(This is post one of five; posts two, three, four and five to follow will detail the install of the Compute (NOVA), Network (Quantum), Storage (Swift) services and the Dashboard)

Tanoral® Plant Tannin Oral Rinse and Tooth Powder for oral hygiene support *OUT OF STOCK*
Currently Unavailable
Tanoral is a plant tannin product formulated to assist comprehensive oral hygiene and health and supports a healthy response to bacteria and yeast organisms*. 45 doses.
- Tanoral also acts as a comprehensive supplement that supports improved oral and periodontal health. Tanoral exhibits the same detoxifying properties as Tanalbit and other tannins*.
What is in Tanoral?Tanoral contains a combination of plant tannins buffered with glycine and natural mint flavor. It is designed to be used as a mouth rinse, toothpowder and paste to be directly applied to gums. Tanoral will only address oral health, however, combining Tanalbit® with Tanoral may support comprehensive health.
How does Tanoral work?
Tanoral tannins naturally bind to biofilm receptor sites on bacteria/yeast colonies via chelation and/or covalent bonding. This action disrupts colonization and isolates the biofilm, which then is sloughed off and discarded with the Tanoral solution. Tanoral can help support the body's anti-inflammatory response in the oral cavity. Zinc tannates are astringent by nature, meaning, that when they come in contact with cells they will cause the contraction of that cell or cellular wall. This contraction allows for healthier cellular performance, healthier cellular metabolism and overall function because it supports the body's natural repair mechanisms. Daily use of Tanoral will make flossing easier and support more comfortable dental office visits.
What are Tannins?Plant tannins are water soluble, polyphenolic compounds. They are categorized as either hydrolyzable or condensed. Tannins have astringent and antioxidant properties. Plant tannins give the bitter taste to black teas and are a significant component of Redwood Tree bark, giving it its distinct red color.
Are Tannins safe?Yes. Condensed tannins, those which are used in Tanoral, actually have remarkable antioxidant properties and are not absorbed by the body. In Tanoral they are also not ingested.
SUPPLEMENT FACTSActive ingredients: Glycine, Herbal Tannates, Green Tea extract, Citric Acid, Zinc, Chlorophyll; Approximately 45 doses
Inert ingredients: Natural Mint Flavor
Allergen Statement: Free of yeast, milk, nut (peanut, tree nut), corn, soy, fish, gluten, wheat, egg, artificial colors or preservatives.
Suggested Protocol1. When using Tanoral to address flora balance: Pour a small amount of powder onto a wet toothbrush. Brush teeth and gums vigorously for 3 minutes. Rinse with water. Repeat treatment 2-4 times a week. On areas of specific concern, wet Tanoral powder and apply as a paste directly onto gums, side of mouth, etc. Let paste sit for two minutes. As a mouth rinse, use one scoop with water, twice daily. Suggested use for 1.5 to 2 weeks.
2. When using Tanoral for general oral hygiene: Pour powder onto wet toothbrush and brush teeth and gums mildly. Then rinse with water. Can be used every day for individuals with dental concerns or 4 times a week for those with healthy teeth and gums. As a mouth rinse, Tanoral can be used twice daily for those with dental concerns or once a day for those with healthy teeth and gums.
3. When using Tanoral to support healing: Prepare Tanoral as a mouth rinse and swirl around mouth for several seconds. One can also prepare a Tanoral paste and apply directly to area of concern.
Do you have a question about Tanoral?Please email firstname.lastname@example.com with your product question.

Viracin contains active plant tannins, specifically Acerin and Canaigre that support the body's ability to maintain healthy gastrointestinal flora and support detoxification in addition to supporting healthy immune system function*....
Tanalbit® Plant Tannin
Currently Unavailable
Tanalbit assists comprehensive health through gastrointestinal support and the activity of plant tannin chemistry*. Available in bottles of 60 or 120 capsules.
FIVE Reasons why you should use Tanalbit Plant Tannins for GI health
Tanalbit is a gastrointestinal support product whose simple, elegant mechanism allows it to:
1) Support a healthy balance of intestinal yeast and flora (bacteria)*
2) Target all areas of the gastrointestine*
3) Work consistently without causing resistance buildup (unlike other products, Tanalbit does not dissolve cellular walls, an action that releases toxins into the body)*
4) Enact supportive antioxidant activity*
5) Work safely – For over 30 years, Tanalbit has proven to be a successful gastrointestinal support product. Its condensed plant tannin based formula is both non-toxic and not absorbed by the liver.
How Tanalbit Works
Tanalbit contains a proprietary blend of Zinc Tannates, composed of Plant tannins, zinc and amino acids. When ingested, the body recognizes the Zinc Tannate complex as a protein and as a consequence shuttles it past stomach digestive juices to the larger and lower intestine, areas often in need of supportive action. With elegant chemistry, Tanalbit supports a healthy balance of yeast and bacteria colonies by assisting the body's removal of overgrowth. It naturally adheres to biofilm receptor sites via chelation and/or covalent bonding. This action disrupts colonization and isolates the biofilm, which then becomes a target for the body's normal metabolic and elimination processes.

Comprehensive Action: How Tanalbit supports the whole body
- Digestion: Undigested or partially digested food proteins in the gastrointestine may heighten or exacerbate food sensitivity and/or indigestion. Plant tannin chemistry allows for Tanalbit to bind to those proteinous substances (oligopeptides and peptones) and therefore it can be used to help support the body's elimination process of those undigested or partially digested proteins.
- Healthier GI environment: The active ingredients in Tanalbit, plant tannins, support cellular health, meaning they support intestinal wall integrity and therefore activity of gastrointestinal cells. This occurs because astringency, a natural characteristic of plant tannins, supports the body's ability to reduce cellular inflammation. As it travels through the gastrointestine, Tanalbit provides supportive action along the way.
- Detoxification: Chelation exhibited by plant tannins also extends to heavy metals. In so doing, Tanalbit can support the body's natural detoxification process.
- Skin Care: External skin issues often have an "interior" cause. Supporting gastrointestinal health and flora balance can support healthier looking skin.
Frequently Asked Questions About Tanalbit
1. What are Tannins?
2. Are Tannins safe? Is Tanalbit non-toxic?
3. Does Tanalbit affect beneficial bacteria? Will it deplete minerals?
4. Are there contraindications for Tanalbit?
5. Why does Tanalbit contain milk?
6. Why does Tanalbit contain Zinc? Is Zinc absorbed?
6. Should I use Tanalbit or Viracin? When should I use them together?
What are Tannins?Tannins are water soluble, polyphenolic compounds and are either hydrolyzable or condensed. Tannins have astringent and antioxidant properties. Tannins give the bitter taste to black teas, the strong taste to red wines and are a significant component of Redwood Tree bark, giving it the bark its distinctive red color. The plant tannins found in Tanalbit are condensed tannins.
Are Tannins taken in a dietary supplement safe?Yes. Tanalbit contains condensed plant tannins. Condensed tannins have antioxidant activity properties and support GI health and healing. Tannins taken as a dietary supplement, drunk as teas or in wine, eaten in fruits or food have been shown to exhibit antioxidant activity that supports a healthy body.
Tanalbit is complexed with milk derived proteins/amino acids which allows the formula to directly target the GI tract and mitigate possible irritation caused by tannic acid. In addition, milk proteins also help to mitigate any anti-nutritive effects of tannins. Tanalbit is non-toxic and can safely be taken by a variety of individuals.
Please note: If you are suffering from a nutrient deficiency, have malabsorption or other conditions that results in low nutrient levels (including Calcium, Iron), out of abundance of caution, do not Tanalbit or any other dietary supplement before speaking with your health professional or personal physician. If your physician approves use of Tanalbit, consider supplementing with a comprehensive Multivitamin.
Does Tanalbit affect beneficial bacteria? Will it deplete minerals?Tanalbit will not significantaly affect beneficial bacteria levels. Often we suggest using a probiotic after a Tanalbit regimen and using a comprehensive multivitamin to ensure proper mineral balance because imbalanced flora can contribute to nutrient deficiencies.
Are there contraindications for Tanalbit? What about side effects?Occasionally individuals may experience temporary constipation after taking Tanalbit. To avoid temporary constipation, increase water intake while taking Tanalbit and consider taking a Magnesium supplement. Sometimes tannins may cause nausea or upset stomach. To prevent this, take Tanalbit with a small, protein snack.
Tannins, the active ingredients in Tanalbit, may interfere with the absorption or efficacy of some medications. They may also not be recommended for individuals with significant nutrient deficiencies or individuals with chronic maladies or under physician supervision for serious ailments. Please consult with your health professional prior to introducing Tanalbit. There are some known contraindications for tannins (general) and medications. Please click on the Ingredients tab for additional information.
Questions? Please email Olivia Melaugh, our product support guru, at email@example.com
Why does Tanalbit contain milk?The complex milk proteins (casein, proline, hydroxyproline) in Tanalbit act as potent buffers. They serve to transport the Tanalbit complex past the degrading acids of the stomach into the large intestine and colon. Milk protein powder also acts to mitigate any anti-nutritive effects of tannins.
Tanalbit contains high heat milk powder which, as a consequence of its manufacture, contains mostly denatured, less allergenic proteins. Tanalbit may therefore be suitable for those with milk sensitivity (check with your allergist first) but it is not recommended for those with milk allergies. Tanalbit will not cause problems for individuals with lactose intolerance (where the issue is milk sugar not milk protein). The milk proteins Tanalbit will neither cause nor exacerbate mycelia growth.
If you have a milk allergy, do not take the product and consult your health professional if he or she has suggested it for you. Consider our milk-free plant tannins, Viracin, or Tabit. Viracin and Tabit may be helpful for healthy bacteria balance support and immune support.
Why does Tanalbit contain Zinc? Is Zinc absorbed?The zinc in Tanalbit activates the complex and acts as a buffer. It lessens potential irritability caused by tannins and allows the complex to travel through the GI. As part of the Zinc Tannate complex, Zinc is not "available" and not absorbed.
Should I use Tanalbit or Viracin? When should I use them together?Tanalbit and Viracin rely on the astringent and antioxidant activity properties of plant tannins. Each contain different tannin extracts which themselves behave differently.

SUPPLEMENT FACTSPlease note!
Our Tanalbit formula is the same, only the label has changed to reflect the active ingredients present in the formula, specifically, the tannic acid and polyphenol content found in the formula. Whereas older labels showed the total mg input (400+ mg), now it only shows active ingredients.
Questions? Please email us email@example.com
Serving size: 2 capsules
Active ingredients: Zinc (elemental): 25 mg, Plant Tannin Complex (Proprietary blend of Tannic Acid and Canaigre Root Powder) Tannins: 200 mg, Total Polyphenols: 230 mg, L-Proline: 12 mg
Other ingredients: High Heat Milk Powder, Microcrystalline cellulose, Magnesium Stearate, Silica
Allergen Statement: This formula contains milk. It is free of yeast, egg, corn, wheat, starch, artificial colors or preservatives.
Interactions/Precautions:Tannins may interfere with the absorption/effectiveness of medication. Check with your health professional BEFORE adding Tanalbit to your regimen. Because tannins are astringents, Tanalbit® may cause temporary constipation. If this occurs, use Magnesium/Vitamin C Supplement and increase water intake by at least three 8 oz glasses per day. Tanalbit may also cause nausea. If this occurs, take Tanalbit with a small amount of food or 10 minutes after a small snack.
Warning: Keep the bottle closed in a cool, dry place and out of the reach of children. Consult a health care professional before adding Tanalbit to your daily regimen, especially if you are taking medication or if you have a medical condition. Tanalbit is NOT recommended for pregnant or nursing mothers. Note: Tanalbit contains natural ingredients and color may vary from batch to batch.
What is the suggested dosage for Tanalbit?1-2 capsules, 3 times daily with food or small snack (to decrease possibility of nausea). Increase water intake two-fold. As a general rule, water will help improve digestion, eliminate toxins and prevent dehydration and temporary constipation. Dosage suggested for 4-6 weeks or as prescribed by your health professional or physician. *If you cannot tolerate Tanalbit on an empty stomach, take your suggested dosage with a small protein snack or with food. If you are using Tanalbit for skin health, suggested dosage is 2 servings daily for at least 2 weeks. When taking Tanalbit for food sensitivity or indigestion, take 1 to 2 capsules right after a meal. Questions? Email our nutrition guru, Olivia Melaugh, at firstname.lastname@example.com for help.
Best practices: Very large food portions taken with Tanalbit decrease product effectiveness. We also do not suggest taking Tanalbit at the same time as other supplements/medications. Allow at least 1 hour between Tanalbit and other dietary supplements; Tanalbit needs to work without competition from other supplements / medications. Tanalbit works in a gradual manner hence the need for a larger dosage as well as a regimen that works throughout the day instead of all at once.
Some basic rules: avoid excess sugar, refined carbohydrates and citrus.
Maintenance Program:A maintenance dosage is suggested after 4 weeks of Tanalbit, but please consult with your health professional before starting a maintenance program. An example program: The first week, bring dosage down to 5 capsules/daily, the second week 4 capsules/daily, the third week 3 capsules/daily, the fourth week 2 capsules/daily and the fifth week 1 capsule daily.
Tanalbit vs. Viracin?Tanalbit and Viracin are both plant tannin products that support gastrointestinal health and in many cases comprehensive health. Determining which product is right for you is a decision best made with your health professional, however, please use our suggestions as a guideline for future discussions with your health professional.

How is Tanafem a better product for vaginal health?Tanafem does not kill yeast/bacteria organisms and due to this fact, Tanafem can be used again and again and remain effective. Tanafem is buffered to ensure compatibility with the unique and sensitive vaginal environment*.
How to use TanafemMix one dose/scoop of Tanafem with 1/2 cup to 1 cup of lukewarm water in applicator bottle. Insert applicator into vagina, squeeze douche solution and rinse, repeating until solution is spent. Use Tanafem only once daily for three days. Rest one day and then resume for another 3 day cycle if symptoms persist. For best results, refrain from sexual intercourse (so as to avoid re-infection or infecting partner) during regimen and do not use other products while using Tanafem. Do not use Tanafem for longer than 7 days total. *Please note: Tannins contain natural dyes that may dye clothing and may dye porous surfaces if solution is not cleaned from surface promptly. Use Tanafem solution only in the appropriate facility for douching, e.g. toilet. If Tanafem solution makes contact with porous tile or other areas, immediately clean those areas so as to prevent staining.
How to use Tanafem for external, vaginal irritation and/or itching.Mix a small amount of Tanafem with just enough lukewarm water so that the powder forms a paste. Apply paste externally to outer labia and areas of irritation/itching. For best results, use paste at night and with sanitary pad/liner to prevent staining of clothing and underwear. If using Tanalbit in conjunction with Tanafem, take 2-6 capsules of Tanalbit for at least two days and/or continue throughout Tanafem regimen. To support vaginal health, 2-6 capsules of Tanalbit is suggested prior to the start of menstrual cycles, 6 capsules daily for 4 days for best results*.

text: Greetings ! I would like to be able to capture video and write it to a file using libavformat/libavcocdec. At the same time in another process I would like to be able to seek and playback from anywhere in the same file, also using libavformat/libavcodec. I tested this and it sometimes works. But sometimes it crashes. It is possible to make this work reliably? I don't care what kind of coding or format is used. Thanks, Bert Douglas

Band sampler: Chain stitch
I picked up my band sampler again last week, and scanned the list of embroidery stitches I intend to learn and/or practice. Not to be all emo-14-year-old, but the chain stitch jumped out at me as a nice way to reflect the experience of the past month.
I free-handed the text and stitched it on the subway to and from work for a few days using Sharon B's hand-dyed mulberry silk. The variagation is so vivid! I really enjoyed the process.
I was surprised at how well the chain stitch handled curves, but a little disappointed in starts-and-stops. Still, I got good practice with it.
If you're interested in giving chain stitch a try, here are some good tutorials:
- Mary Corbet's brilliant chain stitch video.
- Purlbee has good instructions with photos.
- Erika Kern shows you how on Craftystylish.
- Primrose Design teaches chain stitch and also twisted chain stitch.
- SharonB's instructions are excellent as always.

Meet my most favorite outfit in my closet, it gives me allllll the heart eyes. You know how you wake up some morning and you feel like wearing something pretty and it somehow works with all your favorite outfits. That's what happened here. A favorite skirt. A favorite shirt. A favorite pair of shoes. The first time I wore this, a few co-workers complimented this cute "dress" and it made me laugh - because that's exactly what this crop top does, transforms an outfit you wear too often into something totally new.
My favorite part about this outfit is how easy it is to wear anywhere - grocery shopping, playing with my kids, heading to work, cooking dinner. The ironic part about this whole outfit is how perfectly the pom pom colors match the floral in the skirt. How does someone get that lucky? But what really takes the cake here are these platforms. Platforms were totally a 70s thing making a big, big comeback that equates to a whole lot of happy. A version of heels that boost your height, but keep your feet flat... yes, happiness!
How's that for a third fashion post?
Happy styling, folks!
