Shine on you crazy diamond
Shine in your manipulation
I am here only to reflect your faulty wisdom.
Bend me to your will.
You are the Puppeteer
issuing the restrictions,
the directives,
the orders.
I am the Puppet
whose sole aim is to please.
Give me my reward
like the mouse and his cheese.
and I will run through the maze you have laid out before me
and relent to your forceful tugging on my joints.
Dangle your golden carrot in front of my face
and let us share in our delusion
that this exercise meant something
to either one of us.
Or we could just dismount
and call it a day.

Translational Perspectives in Auditory Neuroscience
Normal Aspects of Hearing
- Details:
- 488 pages, Color Illustrations (4 Color), Hardcover, 8.5 x 11"
Release date: 06/29/2012
Normal Aspects of Hearing is the first book in a three-book series focused on Translational Perspectives in Auditory Neuroscience.
Douglas L. Beck, AuD, interviews Dr. Tremblay for the AAA website. Read the interview here.
The book starts out with a chapter on acoustics, and the rest of the book focuses on the anatomy and physiology of the peripheral and central auditory systems in a rather traditional manner: from caudal through rostral levels, ending with the descending auditory system. Note that these chapters, for the most part, review topic areas that are best considered basic research and are not translational in nature. However, the final section attempts to tie perception to the underlying physiologic responses, and chapters are parsed into stimulus factors (such as intensity, frequency, binaural stimulation, and complex sounds).
The second book in the series is Hearing Across the Life Span - Assessment and Disorders.
The third book in the series is Special Topics and provides "translational" perspectives on current topics in hearing science.
All three books in the series are also available to purchase as a bundle.

Best Foreplay Ideas
Couples who want to improve their sexual life should incorporate the following best foreplay ideas into the bedroom. Over time, sex with the same partner can lose some of its appeal even though both parties still love each other very much. In cases such as this, the best way to solve the problem is to find new ways to make a sexual encounter more exciting for both parties. In actual intercourse, different positions can be tried, but the area that has the most range of modification is foreplay. A number of female foreplay ideas can be added to a man's repertoire to make him a better lover and provide continual satisfaction to the woman.
One such idea is the introduction of foreplay games. These games can take many forms and are simply a way for lovers to approach sex in a different manner, thus retaining the excitement. A common game that many couples try is acting out fantasies. With these role-playing games, couples can dress up and assume various roles that may increase the attraction of sex. Some frequent scenarios are the nurse and patient, athlete and cheerleader, or student and teacher. The thing to remember with fantasy games is that it should be a situation that is a fantasy for both participants. A fantasy that is one-sided may be a nice surprise for a lover, but something that is planned out should be physically and emotionally appealing to both the man and woman.
Another way to keep sex and foreplay exciting is by using different kinds of music. As couples have usually established the types of music that both partners like, stepping outside of this comfort zone could increase the pleasure of male and female foreplay. If the couple is usually sexually quiet and reserved, experimentation should include loud music to see if the couple responds in a different manner. The reverse is also true. Switching from heavy and loud music to soft and soulful music may be a nice change of pace that adds a new dimension to a couple's lovemaking habits. Finding the right music can be a great tool to find hidden passion in the bedroom.
Female foreplay ideas could also include the use of sex toys. While they are often regarded with a certain social stigma, these toys are an excellent way to enhance a couple's foreplay options. They provide new stimulation choices and are not limited to just the commonly advertised vibrators. Scented massage oils may be a sex supplement that changes the way foreplay is practiced. Male and female foreplay should be an exploration of all of the couple's senses, not just the sensation of touch. The aromas of these oils can act as an aphrodisiac, dramatically increasing a person's level of arousal. The best foreplay ideas will differ from couple to couple, but many of these ideas have a great track record of spicing up sexual encounters.

Run automated backups to a UNIX server
Thank you. This was a well thought out script. I really like the usage of syslog and complete rsync logs too. My only suggestion would be to schedule it using launchd if you have Tiger instead of cron, because cron cannot run jobs it missed while it was asleep, and launchd can.
I'll be implementing this for my powerbook today.
Your method is perfect for machines not always connected to the network like laptops. the rsnapshot hint is much better for always connected machines that never sleep (ie. servers).
Run automated backups to a UNIX server
I notice you are not using the extended attributes (-E) option to rsync. This means that rsync will not copy resource forks. I've had huge problems with the -E options to rysnc - the program crashes, and all the resource forks get copied all the time.

I am offered these updates: KB2505438 which is for slow performance with Direct Writer API, and KB92018 regarding compatibility of Windows 7 with Advanced Format Disks available.I have Windows 7 64 bit and have no idea if I quality for these updates (although they are offered through Updates).Would anyone know if I should install them?I am also offered some optional updates which seem to me to be hardware related - I'm not comfortable installing any of them, but will put a screenshot for any comments in a following post.Thanks for any help.Sincerely, Libra
The driver updates you should see if there are newer versions at the part manufacturers site, Microsoft, while being a multibillion dollar company has always been too cheap and lazy to keep the drivers they host up to date. Which is something you get from every other player in the OS market, even on the free OSs out there.
Thank you for that information. I'll hide them.Sincerely, Libra
Looks like you need to at least do three things manually, update the video drivers from the intel site, update the .inf driver for your monitor, and download whatever software you need for your logitech device if it's got any special features you can't use now.As far as logitech software goes for mice I prefer it for one feature, acceleration. The faster you move the mouse, the faster the cursor moves, and you can go from dragging it slowly to zipping it across the screen without having to drag it across the desk.--I distrust those people who know so well what god wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires- Susan B. AnthonyYesterday we obeyed kings, and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to the truth- Kahlil G.
I don't know why it's showing those hardware items. I don't have a Thinkpad, I have a Lenovo Essential G570. I updated the Display Driver (Intel onboard graphics driver) and a Realtec USB2 card reader. My Logitec mouse works fine. I don't know anything about an .inf file and I didn't find one at the Lenovo drivers and download site.I was concerned about KB2505438 which is for slow performance with Direct Writer API. Do you know if I need that? It's listed in Windows Updates, but is unchecked. Thank you.Sincerely, Libra
Intel drivers seem generally safe, but I'd avoid giving a blanket recommendation that says the vendor drivers are always better.Hardware companies, particularly in the wow-gosh end of the video card market, are fond of rushing out not-well-debugged drivers. You could be better off being a little behind the curve. In such a case, Windows Update is sometimes the wiser choice.
Looks like Microsoft is aware they have screwed up again »support.microsoft.com/kb/2505438
1 recommendation
Thank you Oleg. In reading the article you provided, it seems to me that I can install KB2505438 as long as SP1 is installed, which it is.I'll think about this for a while.Sincerely, Libra

Bigger maps does not necessarily mean a slow down its just generally true due to the way they have programmed the app. I have done raster maps up to 40K using about 30 layers but you cant generally do it with the usual apps and methods. The main thing I would suggest is to tile your map and deal with one tile at a time - much like doing one continent as Kodiak says.
I would suggest first looking at what res you need. I expect that you need a certain resolution at some points of the map and higher in specific other areas and probably much much higher in cities etc - a resolution which is completely unreasonable to map the whole world at. I.e. Although you may need quite a high res for the world map its probably not 40K sqr. I don't think there are any standard pixels per mile type resolutions and in any case some apps will cope with a variety of resolutions and scales.

Re: Just found out I am pregnant with Identicial Twins.
Congratulations! I had identical twin boys a year ago and during my pregnancy I was just constantly thinking "omg... TWINS.... IDENTICAL TWINS!" we didn't find out their gender since they were identical they would be the same gender and it was such a fun surprise, despite the big surprise of twins! I had a pretty good pregnancy, ultrasounds every 2 weeks right up until they were born. Stay hydrated- you have to drink A LOT of water - more than you think! My boys came at 34 weeks weighing 4 lbs 3 oz and 4 lbs 13 oz and spent 14 days in the NICU until they could eat all by mouth, gain weight and maintain their own body tempurature. The biggest advice I will give you is once they come, get them on the same schedule. Feed them at the same time - if one is hungry and one is sleeping, wake up the sleepy one and feed them both. Otherwise, you will just feed babies all day every day. Also, let people come over and lend a hand. if nothing else but to hold a baby so you can shower or eat or just put on non-pajama clothes, let them help! I also joined a Mom of Multiples group online for my county and while i don't do all the social things (I want to!) I find the online discussion topics extrememly helpful. It's a new kind of crazy, being a mom of multiples, but it's really fun and really exciting. Oh and wherever you go, people will stop you. Every. Time. So add about 15 minutes to every place you intend to go Good luck!

CFPB Suit Targets Predatory Online Lending Practices
December 19, 2013
The Consumer Finance Protection Bureau this week put online finance companies on notice that it will not overlook them merely because they operate in cyberspace. Specifically, the bureau sued CashCall for collecting money consumers allegedly did not owe. In its suit, the bureau charged that CashCall and its affiliates engaged in unfair, deceptive, and abusive practices.
Community Will Steal the CRM Show in 2014
December 18, 2013
Once a year I write a post that tries to predict some of the big happenings of the year ahead. The success of these efforts relies on clear thinking and objectivity -- trying to figure out what will come to pass rather than what I want to see happen. It's hard, but thankfully no one ever checks up on me a year later. First, let's take a look at the general economic outlook.
Let's Hear It for Metadata
December 16, 2013
It is a quirk of the data-information-knowledge continuum that data perceived by one person might be seen as information by another. The same goes for information and knowledge -- the frame of reference is important. You might even say it's all relative, and I don't think you'd be wrong. This conundrum is all brought into sharper relief by yet another slice of the range, and I don't mean Big Data.
Banks Get a Little Less Hate in Latest Satisfaction Rankings
December 12, 2013
Consumers seem to be softening their hate-hate relationship with the banking industry, according to a new report released Tuesday by the American Customer Satisfaction Index. In fact, customer satisfaction with financial services in general reached a new high in the third quarter of 2013, the report found. The index is up 0.3 percent to 76.7 on a 0 to 100 scale.
It Was a Very Good Marketing, Partners and Platform Year
December 11, 2013
We are nearing year-end, and that means it's time for my annual year in review -- my assessment of things that will matter in the long run. From my spot, it looks like marketing took a big step toward greater relevance in 2013, the importance of being a partner in an ecosystem increased -- as did the significance of software platforms -- and reports of CRM's demise were greatly exaggerated.
Dreamforce Debriefing
November 26, 2013
OK, we survived Dreamforce and that has enabled us to limp home exhausted by all the information we accumulated and the parties we attended just in time for the holidays. I have a lot of thoughts about the show. If I try to share most of them, the result will be a stream-of-conscious rant that will make little sense, so some discipline is in order.
Dreamforce 2013 Notebook
November 22, 2013
There's always a lot to digest after Salesforce.com's annual bacchanalia, Dreamforce, which drew 135,000 registrants this year. Some of it is about Salesforce's announcements, but a lot more of it is about the implications of those announcements, the people who attend, and what goes on around the show. Despite its peculiar name, Salesforce1 is an important step for Salesforce.
Keep Holiday Shoppers Happy, in 3 Easy Steps
November 21, 2013
This holiday season, everything from Nerf N-Strike Elite Hail-Fire Blasters to Doc McStuffins dolls and even diamond jewelry will be purchased via mobile devices to a greater extent than ever before. In fact, mobile shopping will surpass the growth of all other channels during the upcoming holiday season, eMarketer has predicted, as more and more consumers change they way they purchase gifts.
The Class of '14
November 20, 2013
The story of this year's Dreamforce might best be told through the partner community and AppExchange, and that makes it a story about the platform. Appropriately enough, Salesforce teed up the platform topic in Chairman and CEO Marc Benioff's Tuesday keynote and the press conference immediately following it, where he announced Salesforce1.
Tablets and CRM, Part 2: Revolution in the Making
November 19, 2013
GE Capital has an iPad app, based on Salesforce.com, that integrates geospatial data to let mobile sales reps know which customers need attention and where they are. It is a simple, yet impressive example of a company using tablets and CRM functionality to improve its internal productivity. While appreciating its capabilities, many companies would not put the necessary energy into developing it.
Salesforce Automation Tops CRM Buyers' Software Wish Lists
November 15, 2013
Ask prospective buyers of CRM software what they're most interested in, and you'll probably get a mix of variations on the following three themes: "I am not sure about the deployment model yet, although I have heard good things about the cloud"; "I know about the benefits of using an integrated suite, but frankly I would like to investigate some best-of-breed offerings too"; and "Is it salesforce automation related?"
Microsoft Gives Stack Ranking the Boot
November 13, 2013
Microsoft is ending its controversial practice of using stack ranking to evaluate its employees. Instead, the company is changing its performance review program "to better align with the goals of our One Microsoft strategy," wrote Lisa Brummel, the company's executive vice president of human resources, in an internal memo reportedly sent to Microsoft employees on Tuesday. The stack ranking technique requires managers to rate their employees on a curve.
Community Action
November 13, 2013
I had an interesting conversation last week with Eric Berridge, CEO of Bluewolf, about a new report his company sponsored, "The State of Salesforce." This is the second year that Bluewolf has compiled this report. Researchers from MIT's Sloan School interviewed hundreds of Salesforce customers to learn about their attitudes, opinions and future demand.
3 Ways Corporate Culture can Crush CRM
November 08, 2013
CRM technology often gets blamed for the failure of customer initiatives -- and sometimes it's deserved. In many cases, though, the technology works exactly as advertised -- as far as technology can work. Still, CRM is a discipline, not a technology -- the technology merely helps business scale up the discipline. For that reason, the people and the processes around CRM are vital to its success.
Dreamforecast 2013
November 06, 2013
For many years, I have written a piece that attempts to forecast the major themes of Dreamforce. I am not always right, but the exercise is fun and helps me orient toward what should be happening industry-wide even if it's not. This year, with no briefing yet from the company, I am unfettered about what I can speculate on. Otherwise, I would be prevented by an NDA and common sense from doing this.
Mobile CRM Design, Part 2: Refining the M-Commerce Experience
November 05, 2013
Now that mobile app developers have the basics of user-friendly design down, we've moved into the m-commerce industrial age, according to Pradeep U.N., Symphony Teleca's vice president and global head of design and innovation. Specifically, the mobile app vendors and retailers that rely on this channel are now experimenting with more sophisticated tactics.
Fall Roundup
October 24, 2013
There's a lot going on right now that bodes well for next year. It's amazing to even say this in October, but the evidence I've seen points to a busy new year. Companies are spending money on marketing and sales like they have not in several years. Venture capitalists are putting their capital to work, and some emerging companies are telling me they didn't actually need the cash they've taken.
Mobile CRM's Next Battleground: Point of Sale
October 22, 2013
Some brands' mobile CRM efforts amount essentially to creating versions of their websites that are visually friendly to mobile users. Others make mobile an integral part of their CRM strategies. Case in point: Arby's, which earlier this month debuted a new item on its menu -- the Smokehouse Brisket Sandwich -- with a campaign that involved a number of social media components.
5 Traps to Avoid in Social CRM for Retail
October 17, 2013
It is difficult to overstate the importance of social CRM to retailers given the almost tailor-made suitability of Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest et al. for reaching out and engaging with customers. What's less clear, however, is exactly how retailers should use social CRM to talk with those customers. Is it fair for customers to expect to conduct all of their business over social media?
A Social Branding Moment
October 16, 2013
A little while ago I wrote about New Coke and the time in the 1980s when Coca-Cola tried to change its formula without much prompting from customers. As you may recall, especially if you were alive and drinking the stuff at the time, the customers didn't much like it. They were miffed about the new taste, but probably more so over the way the company more or less unilaterally made the change.
In-App Processing: It's Not Just About the Money Anymore
October 15, 2013
In-application features have been all about revenue so far, but as the technology evolves and mobile becomes ever more entrenched in consumers' psyches, the in-app phenomenon will likely spread to other forms of customer outreach as well, including messaging. First, though, let's talk about the money. Some 43 percent of mobile gamers have made purchases via an in-app mechanism, according eMarketer.
Study: Topnotch Customer Service Yields Strong Returns
October 11, 2013
There is a significant performance gap between companies that fully apply best customer service practices and those that are inconsistent in their approach, according to a new report from the Miller Heiman Research Institute. There was a gap of 13 percent between the two groups of companies in performance metrics such as account acquisition, customer retention, account billing and revenue growth.
Groupon Adds a Dash of CRM to Its Breadcrumb POS App
October 10, 2013
On Wednesday Groupon announced that it has added new CRM features to its Breadcrumb point-of-sale app with the potential to drive traffic and improve customer relations for Groupon merchants. Customer tracking, for instance, is one of the new features now included in Breadcrumb. The software tracks customers, stores their contact information, analyzes purchase behaviors and records notes on their preferences.
Feds Hankering for Mobile IT Management Solutions
October 09, 2013
The acquisition process for the latest innovation must keep pace with the ever changing IT landscape. In the public sector, that process has surfaced in acquisition vehicles related to cloud technology, data management and IT security. For the U.S. government, the GSA has become a focal point for developing contract vehicles and programs to facilitate the acquisition of innovative IT.

African village story
Experiential tours and equipment provider MRA partnered with World Vision to bring the story of one African village to life inside a 90-by-40-foot semi-truck exhibit with 26 TV monitors, 10 computers and other interactive props for an experience both virtual and hands-on. On their ride to Kisongo, visitors will be escorted by 13-year-old Babayetu, a World Vision-Sponsored Child who guides them through the village discussing the problems of the past, the significant progress his town has enjoyed in recent years, the continuing challenges they face, and the exciting opportunities he and his family see for the future thanks to ongoing support.

Re: Workout/Staying in Shape Thread
Ketogenic diets, in my experience & personal opinion, are best used in cycles. I always carb-cycle, but that's a different method altogether. Whereas I manipulate, reduce, and increase my carbs on a day-to-basis now, with a keto diet, you're dealing with a bigger picture & a longer timeframe.
They can be extremely beneficial, especially for people who are holding a lot of excess water weight. However, if you stick with a keto diet for a great length of time, you also run the risk of giving up some serious amounts of muscle mass in the process. Personally, I dealt with that. Just make sure you don't restrict yourself
much, in regards to your carb intake.
Also, as
noted, it's good for you to plan a cheat meal about once a week. Don't go overboard with it, but eat enough to satisfy any nagging cravings. It's also beneficial for your metabolism.
Some keto diets suggest eating a lot of fats, which I'm against. Healthy fats? Sure. But some have recommended that you take in (a lot of) fats to offset the amount of carbs you're giving up, in some sort of unhealthy balancing act.
Again, I know the keto diet works. It's good, especially for people that have hit a plateau with their bodyfat, etc. So, if it's giving you results, then that's great. But, as long as you're improving in the gym & busting your ass to force those numbers on the plates to go up, then there's no reason why a simple carb-cycling routine wouldn't bring you the same (or, in my case, even better) results.

Oahu offers a little something for everyone and when the players aren't on the golf course, they may be found taking in the sights of Waikiki Beach, shopping, or watching the sunset over Diamond Head at Duke's Canoe Club.
This event, which dates back to 1987, is played on Kapolei Golf Course - home to the only LPGA Tour event played on seashore paspalum greens.
Seashore paspalum is comparable in texture and quality to hybrid bermudagrasses. The grass on the greens is slightly different than last week and the treacherous grain is no longer a concern. However, players will have to keep in mind that the ball doesn't release on this grass.
Golf course superintendent Andy Meikle has been busy seeing to it that the rest of the course is challenging.
Five lakes coming into play over 9 holes on Kapolei G.C., along two inches of rough, prevailing trade winds and greens stimping between 10 and 10.6 should do the trick.
Betsy King defends the title she claimed after besting last year's field by two-strokes with a three day total of 12-under-par 204.
King has some stiff competition to fend off. Joining the thirty-three-time champion this week are LPGA heavy hitters Karrie Webb, Annika Sorenstam, Grace Park, Pat Hurst and four-time LPGA Tour champion Lorie Kane.
Kane had no problem negotiating the break of the greens last week and looks forward to doing it again. This week reading the greens will be straitforward making her job that much easier.
The 2001 Takefuji champion has new found confidence in her game and if she can repeat Sunday's Zen-like performance she's got a good chance of taking home her fifth title.
Worth mentioning are Helen Alfredsson and Maria Hjorth.
First off, Alfredsson seems to be getting closer to finding her game. Alfredsson shot par or better in all three rounds.
Hjorth let the first day after shooting the course record of 67 then fell apart on Saturday shooting 75 but recovered and once again shot a 67. Hjorth may have fell victim to nerves or just had a bad day but what ever the case she will be one to keep an eye on.
Sponsor Exemptions went to: Aki Nakano, Aki Takamura, Kasumi Fujii, Woo-Soon Ko, Orie Fujino, Hsiu-Feng Tseng, Mineku Nasu, Toshimi Kimura, Miyuki Shimubukuro, Michie Ohbe, Nobuku Kizaqa, Riko Higashio.
Fujii received a sponsor exemption at the Takefuji and missed the cut after two rounds of 78-73=151.

SSAB Americas,
Jeff Moskaluk,
NEW YORK A marked improvement in consumer demand is behind SSAB Americas potential plans to expand normalized plate capacity in Mobile, Ala., by as much as 75 percent in the next year, Jeff Moskaluk, chief commercial officer at SSAB Americas, told AMM.
"We have customers really encouraging us to expand our facility because they see the need for more normalized product," he said, noting that two groups of customersthe energy and railcar production sectorsare driving the push for more normalized plate capacity.
"Customers in both segments have approached us and said, Were kind of maxed out and can use more normalized product, " Moskaluk said.
"On the energy side, its mostly related to offshore platforms and exploration equipment, as well as tanks and storage vessels for the petroleum industry," he said. "On the railcar side, its tank cars in particular. The demand for those cars currently is quite strong and another good opportunity for us."
The majority of the demand pickup is coming from the North American market, with the United States accounting for the bulk of the rise, Moskaluk added.
SSAB Americas, a subsidiary of Swedish steelmaker SSAB AB, said on Friday that it was mulling plans to boost its normalized plate capacity in Mobile, Ala. (AMM, May 7). The company did not provide more details at that time, but Moskaluk told AMM on Monday that an expansion would involve the addition of new equipment at the existing facility and wouldnt require new construction.
The plant, which now has about 70,000 tons of normalized plate capacity, could see that rise by some 35 percent to 75 percent, depending on the type of equipment SSAB Americas decides to install.
"Its in the decision process right now. That (decision) will be made very shortly, and its a modest investment either way," he said.
Meanwhile, the facility continues to ramp up its new quench-and-temper line, Moskaluk said. The new linethe second at the Mobile sitestarted running product in April and is increasing its output on schedule, he said.
"Our operators have done a good job of getting the equipment up and running. Its going well. The market is being supportive and the equipment is coming online as planned," he said.

Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor drug that inhibits gastric acid secretion.
Pantoprazole is used for short-term treatment of erosion and ulceration of the oesophagus caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease. Initial treatment is generally of eight weeks' duration, after which another eight week course of treatment may be considered if necessary.[citation needed] It can be used as a maintenance therapy for long term use after initial response is obtained.
Adverse effects[edit]
Antacid preparations such as pantoprazole work by suppressing the acid-mediated breakdown of proteins. This leads to an elevated risk of developing food and drug allergies due to undigested proteins passing into the gastrointestinal tract where sensitisation occurs. It is unclear whether this risk occurs with short-term or only long-term use.[1]
- Gastrointestinal: Abdominal pain (3%), diarrhea (4%), flatulence (4%)
- Neurologic: Headache (5%)
- Gastrointestinal: Atrophic gastritis, clostridium difficile diarrhea
- Hematologic: Thrombocytopenia (less than 1%)
- Immunologic: Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis
- Musculoskeletal: Muscle disorders, bone fracture and infection, Clostridium difficile, osteoporosis-related, hip fracture, rhabdomyolysis
- Renal: Interstitial nephritis (rare)
- Nutrition: May reduce the absorption of important nutrients, vitamins and minerals, as well as medications, leaving users at increased risk for pneumonia.[2]
- Cardiovascular: Increase in a chemical that suppresses the production of nitric oxide by 25% in humans, which have proven to relax and protect arteries and veins. Causes blood vessels to constrict, a development that could lead to a number of cardiovascular problems if continued for a prolonged period of time.[2]
Pantoprazole is metabolized in the liver by the cytochrome P450 system.[3] Metabolism mainly consists of demethylation by CYP2C19 followed by sulfation. Another metabolic pathway is oxidation by CYP3A4. Pantoprazole metabolites are not thought to have any pharmacological significance. Pantoprazole is relatively free of drug interactions;[4] however, it may alter the absorption of other medications that depend on the amount of acid in the stomach, such as ketoconazole or digoxin. Generally inactive at acidic pH of stomach, thus it is usually given with a pro kinetic drug. Pantoprazole binds irreversibly to H+K+ATPase (proton pumps) and suppresses the secretion of acid. As it binds irreversibly to the pumps, new pumps have to be made before acid production can be resumed. The drug's plasma half-life is about 2 hours.[5]
- Bioavailability: (oral, delayed release tablets), approximately 77%
- Effect of food: (oral, delayed-release tablets), AUC and Cmax no effect, Tmax variable, absorption delayed, no net effect
- Effect of food: (oral, for-delayed-release suspension), administer 30 minutes before a meal
- Tmax, Oral, delayed-release suspension: 2 to 2.5 h
- Tmax, Oral, delayed-release tablets: 2.5 h
- Tmax, Oral, delayed-release tablets: 1.5 to 2 hours (pediatrics)
- Protein binding: about 98% to primarily albumin
- Vd, extensive metabolizers (IV): approximately 11 L to 23.6 L
- Vd, pediatrics (oral): 0.21 to 0.43 L/kg.
- Hepatic; cytochrome P450 CYP2C19; minor metabolism from CYP3A4, 2D6, and 2C9
- Fecal: (oral or IV, normal metabolizers), 18%
- Renal: (oral or IV, normal metabolizers), approximately 71%, none as unchanged
- Dialyzable: no (hemodialysis)
- Total body clearance: (IV) 7.6 to 14 L/hour.
- Total body clearance: (oral, pediatrics) 0.18 to 2.08 L/h/kg
Elimination Half Life
- Oral or IV, 1 hour
- Oral or IV, slow metabolizers, 3.5 to 10 hours
- Pediatrics, 0.7 to 5.34 hours
Pantoprazole was developed by Altana (owned by Nycomed) and was licensed in the USA to Wyeth (which was taken over by Pfizer). It was initially marketed under the brand name Protonix by Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories and now is available as a generic. It is available by prescription in delayed-release tablets. It is also available for intravenous use.
On 24 December 2007, Teva Pharmaceutical released an AB-rated generic alternative to Protonix.[6] This was followed by generic equivalents from Sun Pharma and Kudco Pharma. Wyeth sued all three for patent infringement and launched its own generic version of Protonix with Nycomed.[7][8]
On October 18, 2010 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted the filing of an ANDA for a delayed release generic version of Protonix by Canadian company IntelliPharmaCeutics.[9]
Brand names[edit]
Pantoprazole is available from a range of international suppliers under brand names including Pantazone, Pantop-D, Pantasan, Pantrol, Prazolin, Pantochem, Pansev, Pantec, Somac, API, Tecta, Protium, Pantodac, Perizole, Pansped, Percazole, Astropan, Fenix, Pantecta, Pantoloc, Controloc, Somac, Tecta, Protium, Inipomp, Eupantol, Pantozol, Pantodac, Perizole, Pansped, Zurcazol, Protonex, Pantup,Pantomed, TopZole, Nolpaza, Controloc, UXL-D, Pantid, Pantogen, Pantpas, Proton and Prazolin.

This is seriously the only eye shadow palette I use. I can go have a neutral makeup look on one day, then have a smokey eye look on another day.
It's so versatile! I got it as a gift from my bestie so I can't really comment on the price.
The shadows are so silky and pigmented, it's a must have for everyone who loves makeup. No matter if you're a beginner or a pro - this is perfect for any kind.
I've been using this for about two years now (yay for finally reviewing it!) and the ONLY shadow that is slowly breaking apart is Tease. Basically proves that this palette will last for a longass time right haha.
Now I know why people love it. The colors are so pigmented, the packaging looks gorgeous. Easy to use shades. I never into eye makeup so much before, I'm mostly a lipstick person, but now, everything change. I been using this continuously since the day I got it. Love love love. Chopper, tease, busted and snakebite are my favorite colors. Also, blackout is super pigmented, usually use that as liner
I love this, I hate hate hate all the naked pallets besides this one and naked basics. The only issue is that I have to hot glue gun them back in because every few months they pop up. Booty call and tease are my favorite. Along with YDK and suspect.
More reviews by heatherstanley
I am in love with this palette and how pigmented all the colors are. I could not live without this palette. Any eye shadow made by Urban Decay is amazing! This is a must have in your make up collection. It is definitely worth splurging for! The only thing I would change is the packaging. I like the packaging a lot more in the original Naked palette.
More reviews by CharcuterieQueen
Heres the comparison breakdown:
6 Very similar colors
1 Color repeat (Half Baked)
So 7 out of 12 colors are very similar if not the same!
Youre basically getting 5 new or different color (including exclusive: Pistol) in the Naked 2 palette if you already have Naked.
Note about Naked2: Naked didnt have is Blackout: a true black. Naked has Creep and Gunmetal which can also does the job, but its not a dark black.
Has a great range of light to dark shades. Love Bootycall, Suspect, and Pistol
5 new and exclusive to this palette: Bootycall, Tease, Snakebite, Pistol, and Busted
3 mattes (Foxy, Tease, Blackout) and 9 shimmery/satiny colors
Shades include: Foxy (cream bisque with matte finish), Half Baked (golden-bronze with shimmering finish), Booty Call (shimmering cork), Chopper (copper shimmer with silver microglitter), Tease (creamy pale brown with matte finish), Snake Bite (dark bronze shimmer with metallic base), Suspect (pale golden beige with shimmering finish), Pistol (light gray-brown with shimmering finish), Verve (oyster with shimmering finish), YDK (cool bronze shimmer with metallic base), Busted (deep brown with shimmering finish), Blackout (blackest black with matte finish)
- 3 matte (foxy, tease, blackout), 9 shimmery/satiny colors, 5 of which are new and exclusive to this palette (marked with a *)
- Colors on this palette are a bit more taupe-y.
- Double ended brush
Naked2 has 12 pigment-rich, taupe and greige neutral eyeshadows, including five new shades
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
A little pricey but entirely worth it, I am confident that if you could only have one palette this would be your best choice, a perfect mix of mattes and shimmers and brilliant colours that all blend flawlessly, plus the shadows last all day and are overall fabulous :) definitely an investment worth making!
Like BUTTER! I have Naked I as well and don't use it much after purchasing Naked II. The colors, packaging and double-sided brush are so much better.
I bought this online for $64 CAD which I think is too expensive for what it is. I like the eyeshadow, they last all day paired with UD primer (I haven't tried it without). My only regret is I wish I had shopped in person because I probably would've got Naked 3 instead. There are a few colours in this I really don't like, the silvers and greys just look terrible on me. I didn't realize how grey those shades were looking at the photo online. The gold and rosey shades are beautiful though. I won't repurchase this palette but will try Naked 3.
I have an Asian skin complexion and overall I would say the colours are definately VERY neutral on my eyelids. At first when I got it I wasn't too happy with how similar all the colours look on me and how there was SO many shimmers. I was planning on to return it and get my own customised MAC eye shadow pallete...that I will definitely all use and be worth my money
Over time I got use to it. I found that all the browns look professional for everyday (goodbye crazy eye-shadow colours).
It lasted approximately 6 hours more or less. Colours are good. If there was fall out it would be the glitter. Wish they had darker mattes instead of all these shimmers and wish there was a better hi-light eye-shadow...like really skin colour eye-shadow?
Price was up there. I got it for about 72 Canadian. Came with four small eye-shadow primer.
Packaging was nice and sturdy. Mirror was nice and huge. Dual eye-shadow brush is good. You can do whole looks on that brush alone.
Overall: great for everyday neutral looks. Would I buy it again? Probably not cause I find most colours similar and get bored of that same brown taupe neutral look...
But if you are deciding to get Naked 1,2 or 3...get either 1 or 2. 3 was way too rosey and neutral...and really their black eye-shadow with red glitter looks gross.

Genius. I need to do this, not only for me, but I think everyone else would quite enjoy it as well.

Crazy living rock is one of the weirdest creatures we've ever seen
"The fact that this sea creature looks exactly like a rock with guts is not even the weirdest thing about it. It's also completely immobile like a rock — it eats by sucking in water and filtering out microorganisms — and its clear blood mysteriously secretes a rare mineral called vanadium."
Meanwhile in Bizzaro World, this school decided to cancel classes because the weather was too nice.
We know what six looks like. We know what it smells like. How it can go from the fresh scent of shampoo and soap to the musky aroma of "dirty child" in what seems like minutes. How it resists getting in the bathtub… and then resists getting out half an hour later. How sweet its hair and skin and clean jammies smell when it sits on your lap and asks you to read it a bedtime story. We know the unmistakeable fragrance of the occasional accident in the middle of the night caused by too much milk and no last-thing-before-bed visit to the toilet.
We know what six looks like. We know what it sounds like. How it cries and whines. How it sings and laughs. How clever it is and how much more clever it grows every day. How it sounds out words on signs as we drive past in the car and how happy it is when it gets them right. How annoying it sounds when it teases its little sister and how kind it sounds when it soothes her when she falls down and hurts herself. We know how lovely the words "Mommy" and "Daddy" and "I Love You" sound in its six-year-old voice.
We know what six looks like. We know how it tastes. How picky it is. How it thinks chicken nuggets or macaroni and cheese are gourmet foods. How much it loves candy and cookies. How it tolerates broccoli and carrots. How it absolutely abhors Brussels sprouts. How it thinks French fries are a vegetable. How it thinks chocolate milk was created by God himself. How it thinks pizza is its own food group. We know that six is happy when it finds "I love you!" written on a napkin in its lunch box at school.
