Quad-channel RAM vs. dual-channel RAM: The shocking truth about their performance
I simluated dual-channel performance using this MicroExpress B20 system with its X99 chipset and Core i7-5820K chip.
Sisoft Sandra Memory Bandwidth
My first test was SiSoft Sandra's memory bandwidth test. This jack-of-all trades benchmark suite measures and pokes just about everything in your PC. It's long been a standard to measure available memory bandwidth in a PC. The results were as expected (and also a good way to double-check that I hadn't put the modules in the wrong slots). Going from dual-channel DDR4/2666 to quad-channel DDR4/2666 nearly doubles the available memory bandwidth. Woohoo! Go home, right?
Nope. This chart is probably the only good news for quad-channel memory, but I'll let you bask in the bandwidth for now. Read on for the real performance impact.
Sorry, dual-channel RAM: Quad-channel is way better. Click on image to enlarge.
Encoding performance
Synthetic tests measuring the theoretical performance is one thing, but just where does it show up in real tasks? To find out, the next test I threw at the system was Handbrake. A popular and free video encoder, it's a CPU-heavy test. As video encoding is something that's believed to be bandwidth-sensitive, I thought doubling the memory bandwidth would pay off big-time. Unfortunately, if you look at the chart below, I saw zippo. I was quite surprised, as I've long believed memory bandwidth helps encoding performance. I've actually seen it in the past on older hardware platforms, too, so this was a shocker. I will say: This isn't the last word, as different encoders and different encoding loads could favor the increased bandwidth. But today, I'm pretty disappointed.
I saw virtually no difference in our encoding test between dual-channel and quad-channel RAM. Click on image to enlarge.
PCMark 8 Creative
My next task was PCMark 8's Creative Conventional test. This synthetic test attempts to simulate a workload of photo editing, video encoding, light gaming and browsing. I run the conventional portion rather than the GPU portion to keep the workload restricted to the CPU itself. The result was, again, pretty surprising and disappointing.
PCMark 8's Creative Conventional test shows minimal impact too. Click on image to enlarge.
PCMark 8 Home
I also ran PCMark 8's Home and Work Conventional tasks to change up the workload. Again, nearly double the system memory bandwidth made no difference. I'm not even going to bother wasting Internet bandwidth with the chart of PCMark 8 Work's result, because it's the same.

Something that often happens in fights, particularly in romantic relationships, is that everybody gets amped up on a physiological level. Most of us have heard of "fight/flight" but unless you're practiced in mindfulness meditation, (or you've had debilitating panic attacks), you may not notice what happens to your body when you get angry or sad.
These are important things to notice. When our body goes to a place of being as they call "physiological arousal" we are less able to say the things we mean to say, or be generous or patient with our partners, and instead wind up shouting, "I hate muffins, and I hate you!"
Getting overwhelmed by feelings during fights is pretty common, and we can wind up saying things that we don't mean, even if we aren't concretely people with anger or impulsivity issues. What happens is that our nervous system experiences overrides our brain because it perceives our girlfriend saying "I don't really think your impression of the Kool-Aid man is that funny, I think it's kind of weird" as her way of saying "You are not funny, and your main strategy of engaging socially is not working. Nobody actually likes you." Now, your girlfriend may be an indirect communicator, but I'm hoping when she says "I don't like your impersonation of the Kool-Aid man" that that's what she means.

Lots of women spend time with mean girls in high school and later in life, whether as friends or girlfriends, and they become conditioned to hear manipulation or undermining behind other people's statements. They learn to be on edge in relationships all the time because discomfort and distrust are their baselines for relating to other people. They learn to not only distrust direct communication, but some come to find it rude or abrasive.
Now, this makes it really difficult to disagree with anyone or tell them that impersonating icons from '80s children's TV has gotten a little tired since you can only hear someone say "Oh, yeah!" in a funny voice so many times before it gets old. So, therein lies the tension of what style of communication you two have agreed upon.
Passive-aggressive communicating feels safer—nobody actually says what they mean, they just insinuate it. It becomes the other person's job to do the emotional labor of figuring out what it is you really want and need and frankly what it is you mean, because sometimes you don't even know. Being mean to somebody because you're upset about something but aren't clear about why—while sometimes the result of misdirected irritation—is one of the most persistent ways that women avoid articulating their needs.
So when we get into conflict with our sweethearts, we often don't have a lot of experience saying what we mean directly. When we get overwhelmed, our feelings curl up and get spikey like a little hedgehog that got poked by somebody too many times. Depending on the life experiences this hedgehog has had, it may get spikey pretty quick if it hears too many loud noises or if it gets ignored for too long.
Another thing that happens in the enmeshment of ladygay loving is that we get in the habit of making other people responsible for our feelings. We expect our honeys to anticipate our needs, because we feel so close to them. It's a very vulnerable state to be in!
While love does make lots of things better, it does not change the fact that you are two people who need to express your needs to one another and coordinate your shifting locations across time and space. In the same way that it is really lovely when your sweetheart remembers to pick up almond milk on the way home, there is also the old saying that "Relationships are just texting back and forth 'do we need anything from the store?' until one of us dies." It is better to practice articulating your needs then to rely upon their inconsistent ability to intuit your needs.
So when we are in conflict, it is easy to escalate, easy to hear our partner's statements as threats to abandon us, as ultimatums, as a moratorium on our looks and personalities. If you can slow the conflict down, articulate the emotion behind the withdrawal or anger (these are usually closer to fear, sadness, disappointment) connection can feel less scary.
Often we lead with a sense of anger (because our person is withdrawing from our attempts to connect, and we respond with protests) or by withdrawing (the protests feel overwhelming, and if I pull away maybe the overwhelming thing will go away—though this withdrawal usually causes the protests to escalate). But behind that anger is a sense of fear, or of sadness that we are too much, that we will only ever be abandoned by the people we love, that if we tuck ourselves away from the conflict, it will get quieter.
Slow down your moments of conflict where you can, and see what is really going on. Look under the anger and defensiveness to see if you can grasp at the vulnerable threads of reality. If you can share these thoughts with your sweetheart, you have the opportunity to reveal your fears and have them heard and seen. Vulnerability can be the bridge that you build between the two of you to make a safer space for both your tender hearts.

I just spent the last 45 minutes with my seventeen year old daughter talking about her body, or what she perceives as her "lack thereof" and I found myself wondering if we've gotten anywhere in the last few decades regarding this issue.
My absolutely beautiful teenaged daughter came into my room to show me how "hot" she looks in her new leather jacket. It was a sweet moment—she was feeling good about herself, as she should. She looked so good that I told her to put on her black boots so we could see how they looked together. She happily complied and came back looking like a super model—I'm not kidding. Other than the fact that she's not tall enough to be one, (I'm not even tall enough at 5' 71/2") she truly looked the part. We were both having fun enjoying the fact that she looked so good in her outfit when suddenly she began picking herself apart (something I did regularly at her age). Out of nowhere, she started telling me that she thought that there might be something wrong with her! My jaw dropped—where was this coming from?? Confession time...
She then proceeded to tell me that in sixth grade something happened that scared her so much that she never shared it with anyone. Something changed her—made her see herself as freakishly different—set her apart from all the other girls. Well, with mouth still agape, I awaited her recollection of the dread fateful incident, and what she told me was more than a little intriguing.
One day she had to visit the nurse's office at her middle school and on the wall of that office was a poster—of the stages of development for a female adolescent. "What could be so wrong with that?" you may wonder, as did I. Well, apparently, the poster depicted rather graphically specific and narrow parameters for said stages. And apparently, she didn't identify herself on that poster—at all! Now, I know my daughter, and I know for a fact that there's nothing wrong with the way she looks—on the contrary! All I could think was "My God! Have we made NO progress with regards to body image in this country? Why would such a poster be on the wall of a middle school nurse's office, considering the vast array of body shapes and sizes, especially in developing teens?
She was devastated by the poster—so much so, that she's only now able to bring it up—at seventeen years of age and about to enter her senior year of high school.
We spent the rest of our time talking about how many other girls might have felt the same way when they looked at that poster that said they "should now be a 'B' cup" (among other things). What? And then we wondered how many of them were also too afraid to tell anyone that they "weren't normal" because they weren't on that poster. We talked about the fact that it's damaging to have a poster like that up because it doesn't take into account that the world is filled with diversity and that's what makes it beautiful. And we talked about the fact that maybe she could go back there to see if it's still up—and speak out about how adversely it's shaped her self image.
Look, getting fit helps you to be the most beautiful, vibrantly healthy you, you can be! If you're struggling with hating the way you look because you don't fit some image in a magazine, it's time to fight back. Too much damage has been done over the years with such narrow minded, shallow garbage. This is about YOU loving YOU enough to take care of yourself! It's about you loving your body because it's yours—and it's the only one you've got. Instead of buying into to that all or nothing craziness, join me in the revolution of loving yourself enough to be fit and healthy—because being healthy and loving yourself, is ALWAYS enough.

The introduction of any security barrier in Windows 7 would fundamentally alter the architecture of the operating system. Mitigations such as User Account Control, PatchGuard, driver signing and ASLR have already produced their fair share of pain, related mostly to compatibility problems. Microsoft simply cannot afford to go beyond just evolving the existing security mitigations and setting new protection layers in place. Just don't expect any of the extra tiers to act as impassible barriers, because this won't happen.
Proof of this is the new position of Software Development Engineer in Test offered by the WinSA. "We are seeking a highly technical, self-starting tester and/or pentester to join our engineering team to find security bugs through a variety of means before we ship. You'll have the opportunity to create, use, and deploy state-of-the-art hacking tools. You'll investigate new Windows features for security soundness, and scour legacy code for security flaws. You'll come to see the OS from the perspective of a target, and figure out ways to defend against attacks. Come help us make Windows the most secure operating system in the world!" Microsoft said (emphasis added).

If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, as of late you've probably seen this new term "Kinstretch" thrown around a time or two. Whenever I'm asked what Kinstretch is, 99% of the time it goes something like this:
"Kinstretch, that's like yoga, right?"
Not quite. First, it's important to understand what Kinstretch isn't.
- Kinstretch is not yoga.
- Kinstretch is not Pilates.
- Kinstretch is not Zumba.
While all of these methods might be great at getting people more physically active, they're not helping individuals enhance their joint health and mobility in a sustainable fashion. Enter Kinstretch.
Kinstretch is a derivative of the Functional Range Conditioning (FRC) system that was developed by Dr. Andreo Spina. The goal of Kinstretch is to better develop mobility through teaching individuals how to expand pre-existing ranges of motion, and learn how to control these newly acquired ranges in a group setting.
I can't lie, this system reminded me of the Glycolytic pathway the first time I looked at it. . .boy do I not miss college exercise physiology.
While you may not know what the hell you're looking at, this is the most effective system I've come across in regards to enhancing people's movement capabilities. The intricate details of the flow chart above are broken down by Kinstretch Instructors and Functional Range Conditioning Mobility Specialists (FRCms) during mobility training sessions, allowing you to understand the system better. The principles of FRC and Kinstretch allow you to assess and correct your range of motion deficiencies that could be triggering underlying pain and issues in your everyday life. Adequate ranges of motion will actively improve your resilience, making you a more efficiently-moving human being.
Here's a primary example of a movement that at first glance would be frowned upon in the fitness community:
With the proper prerequisites, however, hinging the hips into external and internal rotation like this is a great way to develop control of the ranges of motion Dewey has earned with consistent mobility training. Injury occurs when the force placed on the joint is greater than the force the joint is capable of withstanding. By training positions like the one above, you're improving your resilience in situations where you're otherwise vulnerable to injury.
This is the purpose of Kinstretch: a movement enhancement system that develops maximum body control, flexibility and usable ranges of motion.

1. Journey - Don't Stop Believin
2. Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar On Me
3. Bon Jovi - Livin On A Prayer
For #3, not only did they cop out again by not going up an octave on the last chorus, THEY PLAYED THE SONG TWICE!!!! Once acoustic, then regular later on. This is completely unacceptable behavior as a cover band, or any band. The fourth Bon Jovi song signaled it was long past time to go. Oh, and as you can see, if you didn't know already, I'm an unapologetic music snob.
One bright spot - they had a guest singer who came on periodically and was very good. I took a video, which will hopefully work. The singer's name is Gina Glocksen. American Idol buffs may know her as a top 10 finalist in the sixth season. I saw her sing somewhere before and therefore knew this fact despite not being an American Idol buff. I don't watch it, I promise! Anyways, she does a great Kelly Clarkson impression, except it may be hard to tell because the sound quality is bad until the chorus.
"My Life Would Suck Without Then Again featuring Gina Glocksen"
Bottom line: As far as cover bands go, Then Again is definitely no Monsters of Mock.

With 10 Grammys to her name and a bevy of critically acclaimed albums under her belt, Bonnie Raitt's fame not only precedes her, it also continues unabated.
On this year's Grammy telecast, she sang and played electric guitar alongside Gary Clark Jr. and Chris Stapleton in a tribute to B.B. King. Meanwhile, her recently released album, Dig in Deep, has gotten great reviews and is being touted as one of her best efforts — no small statement for a catalog that includes her acclaimed 1971 self-titled debut, 1989's Nick of Time (her 6 million-selling commercial breakthrough) and 1991's Luck of the Draw.
Dig in Deep finds Raitt — a fine singer and accomplished guitarist whose signature hits include "Thing Called Love," "I Can't Make You Love Me" and "Something to Talk About" — building upon the success of her 2012 release, Slipstream, which sold more than a quarter-million copies despite being the first release on her own label, Redwing Records. That album went on to win yet another Grammy, this time for Best Americana Album.
Raitt has always been proud of her albums, regardless of how they're received once they come out. "They mean as much to me every time I put a record out. It's the same amount of work and heart."
Recording and touring, she points out, have helped her through the pain of several losses in her personal life. Two years into her tour for 2002's Souls Alike, she lost her mother, pianist Marjorie Haydock. A year later, she lost her father John Raitt, an acclaimed Broadway star whose productions included Carousel and Oklahoma. Then in 2009, Raitt's older brother, Steven, succumbed to brain cancer.
"The touring and recording during that difficult decade was very helpful and cathartic," she says. "If it hadn't been for my fans and having that to do, I think I would have been a lot more dejected and drained than I was."
Raitt did take some time off after her brother's death, during which she benefited from a solid community of support. "I was really very lucky to know that I needed to get some grief counseling when I took that hiatus. I had stuffed away a lot of those feelings ... My natural state is to be positive and outgoing, and I knew that I needed to accept a wintertime that I was going through, and to feel all of those feelings and not medicate them away."
These days, Raitt is in a good place emotionally and excited to be touring Dig in Deep, whose highlights include the instantly classic "Gypsy in Me." There's also "What You're Doin' to Me," a rollicking shuffle that pairs Raitt's gospel-inflected piano playing with Mike Finnegan's B-3 organ work, as well as the funky "Unintended Consequence of Love," which is in the tradition of hits like "Love Letter" and "Love Sneakin' Up On You."
"We've waited a long time and we've worked hard to find these new songs," says Raitt, who'll also be playing past hits as well as some lesser-known songs from her extensive body of work. "I've gone back and dug deep into the past catalog, and I've had some real surprises," she says. "Some that even surprised me."

... individual sprays at once. NO DIFFERNT THAN ONE :(. Who has found this helpful for breakthrough pain? I tried fentora and got more relief from that. Now thinking of going to Actiq... who has had success with Subsys and is anyone on Actiq?
Ok, just did my first trial of Subsys and had NO RELIEF. At all :( My doc finally had me spray 3?

Hi cupcake. I don't have any personal experience other than the patch & it mad me deathly ill, but have heard of other members who have had great help with actiq for their breakthru pain. Most were on the patch also for regular pain control & the actiq was prescribed basicaly for breakthru pain. This is alI I know, but maybe it will get others that have used it to answer too. Best wishes & Merry Christmas to you...
Thanks Mary. Like I said above I'm on the patch. They do nothing but blister my skin. See pain doc Jan 2nd. Running out of ideas. Merry Christmas. Thank for responding. Jessica
What does is your patch? Maybe it need increased too. Just another thought... Mary
This may come as a shock, but here we go: 200 mcg patch, 3 16 mg Exalgo (all taken in the morning), 3 8 mg dilaudid 4-5 x daily, 350 mg Soma 3 x daily, 10 mg Valium 3 x daily, 1 mg Xanax 3 x daily. I've been on everything, every combo, over the past 6 years. After my third surgery I was taking 70 mg morphine EVERY 2 hrs. My tolerance is unbelievably high and I am at a constant 8-9 pain level, sometimes down to a 6 which I've had to accept as tolerable. I just started working with a physical med doc who's a colleague of my pain doc. He just finished going through all my imaging and did a nerve test on me (not nerve conduction) but something similar. Then he bases treatments around the results of those that combine electrical stim and something else.
I don't remember, it seems like 8 months since I first went to him and finally next Thursday he will have my care plan which will include other modalities like med massage, PT, etc., but I've been trying to work but don't think I can. At least short term disability to see how the treatments go as my GI tract is a mess, along with chronic back and neck pain and fibromyalgia. I was actually just sitting here thinking things weren't suppose to turn out this way, I should be happily married with a baby rather than suffering (I allow myself a pity party every now and then when I see life going on without me), but my life was spared as I coded during the first surgery and for a reason I pulled through, I have to believe I'm meant to be here for a higher purpose. I have to believe that to keep going. I'm turning 36 next year. I feel like my clock is ticking away, but I also have so much emotional stress that its just making things harder. So I can go up on the patch, but I probably need a change in regimen again. It took four years to get to a place I could actually get out of bed. I was always so sick or in too much pain. It's just a horrible way to live and I can't imagine spending the next 20 plus years like this. Thanks for asking though. At one time I was on 400 mcg, so I may have to go back up but they blister my skin. We are trying to get a prior auth on the Actiq which is different than the Subsys. But the Subsys I could get a free trial life the Fentora when it came out but than I'm reading all these blogs about the changes the DEA is making with laws and thinking I'd never survive on whatever equates to 150 mg morphine. Sorry for the rant. Just sad and hurting right now. Have a great Christmas!
Had to read your story two. I've had to failed surgeries as well. My third was a year ago. I hope you have found some relief. Even in the worst of times, I always feel better giving others support. It's what I do for a living and even if I lose my job, I won't lose my compassion or empathy. I try to let that define me more than my pain. xo
And the PTSD is really hard. I'm starting to chip away at it but its so painful so I wish you all the support with that. Hugs!
I'm so sorry you have had to go thru all of this in your young life. Mine started at age 16, but held off on surgeries till I was 22. Life has just been a barrel of fun sice then, & I'm 66! I stayed off of pain drugs unless hospitalized, then it would be demerol. I managed to work tilI I was 40, then had to go on disability & start taking pain meds. Guess I HAD a high tolerance or just had 3 kids to raise by myself. Some husbands just cannot understand all the medical issues. Since I was 40, have been on pain meds ever since. I just lost my pain doc on November 30th so am up a creek now. I have managed to just stay on 30mg of oxycodone throughout the whole mess. I wish you the best, & hope you can find something that will work for you. Sorry, haven't kept up with all the posts so didn't know about the reaction to the patches. I've been ill with C. Diff for 6 months now.
Treatment just doesn't seem to be helping much, so haven't been on the computer a whole lot lately. I hope you have a Merry christmas at least. Good luck with your new physician. Let us know how it turns out. I am open to any new treatments for sure... Mary
Have you heard of Glutasolve? You can buy it at most pharmacies but they probably have it behind the counter although its not an Rx. 6 months of C Diff? Oh my heart goes out to you. Glutasolve is an amino acid, a protein powder you mix into whatever is palatable, I'd say shakes of some sort. It's the main source of fuel for enterocytes in our GI tract, so it basically rejuvenated your GI tract from mouth to bottom. I always put my C Diff pt's on it (dietitian, not doctor), and it calms down inflammation. I'd do two packets if Glutasolve for two weeks and see if that gives you any relief. You started going through this extremely young. Keeping your job until the age you did gives me hope but my boss is being horrible to me. My therapist said its another abusive relationship which started my whole mess after being thrown down wooden stairs twice by my ex.
I had scoliosis growing up, two car accidents where I broke the glass, and trouble with my neck as long as I can remember. I might have told you this, I lose track. Anyway the flights down the stairs broke my tailbone, ribs and started the disk herniations and spine problems leading to the first surgery. My boss resents me for having a disability, calling in and not being able to fire me, but I find validation in my patients and I need that right now because I'm dreading the day I go on disability. I worked so hard for my career like I'm sure everyone did, and even though staying home everyday sounds better than dealing with an abusive boss and pain so bad I can't concentrate, there's those days I go in and changed someone's life, and that to me is worth it. But I know I can't do it forever. You can't find a doc? What are you going to do? I am praying for you! Thank you for your support and kindness. You have no idea what it does to read something sweet when you're down (actually, you do), but you know what I mean :) Hugs!!!
Thanks Jessica, I will look that up & see if my pharmcist has it in stock. I am on florastor right now. My gastro doc says it's the best (of course with the right antibiotic), but my kidnys are failing too, so have to be careful what I put in my bod. I know what you are going through Been there, done that. fighting with bosses etc... about keeping your job (altho' I was the boss most of the time)because of being in the hospital too much & son on, & the abuse too.. So hang in there. Your a great asset to this site, so please continue doing what you are. There is solace out there for all of us, & I believe helping others even when you aren't feeling up to par, is one of the greatest gifts we have... Mary
Thanks back at you. Glutamine is no strain to your kidneys unless you are restricting protein. It's 15 gms per pouch so you could do one a day. I think it will help. The only time we don't use it is in pancreatitis patients. What's wrong with your kidneys :-(((( Are you on Flagyl? I cannot believe you've suffered through this for 6 months!!! I think that's the longest I've ever heard. Re: my boss, I've accepted I won't get support, empathy nor validity from her. She's incapable of it. I'd rather live with my pain then spend one minute in her troubled and miserable mind. I will find validity in my work, my patients, myself and support and empathy on here. I don't mean to sound cruel, but I've left work in tears for about 6 months now and did a lot of work with my therapist. I can't change her so I tread lightly, avoid interaction and suck it up so I can be there for the people that need me. You're poor tummy needs a rest. Hospital acquired? Sending you warm healing thoughts! <3
Have done the flagyl several times, & vancomycin which is the best, but very hard on kidneys. Guess age is a factor in my kidneys, & being on furosemide also. It deteriorates them. Only have about 35 to 40% left. If it isn't one thing it's another. That's why I'd rather do the IV than by mouth. Hoping it would be easier than pill form. About killed me this past summer on vanco. There is one more, but can't think of the name of it right now. Thanks for the good wishes, going to go lay down for a bit... Mary
Hope you get some rest. I know vanco is the best but extremely hard. Ask your GI doc about Vsl#3. Extremely potent probiotic specific for colitis, chrons, etc. It may be one additional thing that is not Rx but could help. My GI doc put me on it but it had the opposite effect which I figured it would because I know what disease states/conditions its used in. I have an article at work regarding c diff colitis I can picture in my stacks of papers. I'll skim through it and see from a dietary standpoint if there's any other recs you can run by your doc. You must be exhausted. I am wishing it out of your body!!! I hope you are continuing on the mend. Glutamine can come in a hanging form as well with IV access, but since it's not a necessary med, but something that would help, insurance of course won't cover it. :-(
I'll respond after work to see if there's any other suggestions that may ease your discomfort and promote healing.
Thanks Jessica. Been sleeping all day! Doc will have report in the afternoon tomorrow & we go from there. Thanks for being there & helping... Mary
It's why I'm on here. To find people like you to help me and vice versa. I hope you feel rested. It's now time for me to wind down and I'm really emotional, exhausted and just want to curl up and cry but I can't. Need to get through another exhausting work day tomorrow and pray Jan 2 comes quickly so I can hopefully get some relief. Hugs!
Hey cupcake, I'm so sorry you are going through this, especially at Christmas time. I, also have no experience with Actiq. My dr. wouldn't subscribe it. The only thing I tried was the Duragesic (fentanyl) patch. I was on a pretty high dose too. it seemed lke it would work at first, and then I would develop a tolerance and have to up the strength. But I couldn't keep those darn things on for the life of me. I'de tape those baby's up too. They didn't like me, so I had to get off of them. I just want to support you, and let you know I know the frusturation of it. I hope yo can find some kind of relief and happiness during Christmas. I'll say a little prayer you do. Love, Ruthie
Thank you. I'm on the patch too. I actually called the company and there's one tape they recommend and they stay in but blister my skin. Very sweet response. Merry Christmas and again, thank you. Jessica
Jessica, you are so very welcome, sweetie. We all have our issues dont we? I'm glad you posted the question though. I did get relief from the patch, I wont lie. I just had some reactions to it. Like if we went to the park or anywhere as a family, and I got i the sun..I would start breaking out like crazy, and I don't know if I'm pre mentapausal, but I sweated really bad during the night, and would have a spell during the day, and that didn't help at all. Please keep in contact with me, and let me know how your doing. Big hugs, Ruthie
You're very sweet. You can read my last post to Mary to see what's going on with me. Now that you talk about hot flashes, I never ever related the two but I get them all the time. I'm going to be 36 next march ( coming up to quickly) and not ready to be pre-menopausal which I have thought a million times. Thank you and yes a prayer is in order as tonight I'm really struggling. I can't believe what some of us have lived through and how much stronger we are for it but until I can get this pain down, I continue to miss out on so much. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas! Much love and strength to both of you!
Just read your story. I have all the problems you have in back, spine, knees, etc. I didn't turn to drugs and alcohol because now pain docs, a lot of them, get you what you want legally for those who abuse the system. Wow, you went through all that very young. I'm glad you left that behind and have a supportive husband and can be a part if your kids life. That gave be hope as your only 6 years older than me. You're an inspiration, truly. Much love.
cupcake, I, on the other hand did the opisite of you. I starting drinking at a very young age. Events happened boom boom boom and it became worse. I started having back problems when I first got married in 2001. My dr. started me out on Vicoden, then Percocet, and then made me get an MRI. This happened because I was a hostess at a fine dining restaurant and the menues were heavy, and taking care of the people after they were sat down. Carying huge round trays filled with seveal full plates of food. I bent down one night behind the hostess stand and it was like my back locked up. It was so painful. I literally couldn't stand up. Noone was up there. It took my breathe away and tears started dropping from my eyes. Finally after 45 secs to a min. I was able to slowly stand up and my boss let me go home. This started happening on a regular basis, and my dr. upped my percocet some more. One sad thing is I quit my job...
by my own doing, because I was early in the game of pain medicine, and they were making me too woozy to perform my job, without someone noticing. Then I got the MRI, and it showed Deg. Disc. Dis. , spinal stenosis, a bulging disc. And three discs with degerenative changes and problems too. This was in 2005. Things progressively got more painful, and I had to go to pain management. I had only went one month, and had an epidural, then we moved, and have been here five yrs. almost. It was a little different finding a pain dr. here. It got so bad, and within one yr. I had six epidural's, that didn't work. Girl, I cannot tell you how many times, I balled up on the couch or bed crying my eyes out, because my back hurt so bad. Numerous trips to the emergecy room. Then I had another MRI in 2010, and my back was worse. More degerative changes, the spinal stenosis, the bulging disc was pressed against some nerves, nerve damage, and arthritis. My hubby took me to three Nuerologist's in Atlanta, and they said I definitley needed surgery, but due to a couple of other issues, they could not, and would not do it, until the other problems got better. I have developed these knots now that you can feel on the outside of the skin. Their like big lumps. They burn really bad sometimes, but when I take my muscle relaxer's it helps them. So Yes, I have tried several pain medicines. I've had times this year I've lost much sleep and been completely sleep deprived and not myself, and immediate family issues, that caused severe anxiety and depression, that again, made me not myself. but I feel better.now. I finally found something that is relieving my pain where I can think clearer, and I just pray girl, that next year is a better year. Although there are many difficult things to deal with, there are so man blessings to be thankful for, and we just need to turn to each other and help each other out. Many blessings to you, and God bless. Love, Ruthie
I'm sorry it took so long to respond. I have so much of the same issues and your story brought tears to my eyes. I wish I could be balled up next to you when you are crying from your pain because I'm probably doing it right then too. You're strong, compassionate, sweet as can be and pass no judgement. You inspire me and I'm glad you're my friend. 2013 will be our year Ruthie!! So many hugs!
Did I miss what's helping your pain?
Cucake, darlling you just made me cry reading these.I promise, I'm nothing special and just like everyone else in life just tring to get along. I've said this many times on the site. My mamma always told me life wasnt romised to be a bed of roses... and it were... roses. has thorns."What doesn't kill us can sometimes make us stronger."Oh, and cupckake, you askesd me what I was taking for pain. Right now I am taking Oxycontin for the main pain and Osxycodone for breakthrough pain. I have to take stuff for m Fibro too,Bursitis, and ec.. But I'll make it. Thanks forwring that to me. Little boy needs me. Have a blessed evening. Ruthie
Yes I use actiq and have for several years. It works well however my pain management doc wants me to try the subsys because it supposed works better and you don't have to have as high if dose . What does the subsystem taste like? The actiq has a sweet raspberry taste. The doc said the subsys doesn't require as much of a dose because you get the full medication where as with the actiq you end up swallowing most of it instead of it going straight into bloodstream. Also works extremely fast.
You said you have not gotten relief using it. What mcg? You might try using the actiq like i said I really like it and get relief with it just not enough for me. I have been taking the same 600 mcg dosage for Nine years now
I posted on the comment about 3 subsys sprays and no relief please read subsys is a miracle drug, the only downfall is the very bitter alcohol taste but if you can deal with that it's so worth it to be pain free within 5/10 minutes..good luck..
I just finished my first script of subsys (fentanyl spray) and I can not believe the relief that I actually had. The taste is nothing to brag about and it has a bit of a sting to it but delivered relief from the pain with in minutes. I was on 600 mg every 4-6 hours. My only disturbing finding was the actual cost. I am on medicare and after one round I am in the donut hole. Screwed the rest of the year on my meds and if I want my next script it is going to cost me $500. I am disabled and on a limited income. To finally get the best medicine to only find that I now can't afford it. The only source to get them was to mail order them from New York. I give them a 10 as far as working on my pain but a zero when it comes to cost and availability. The cost without any insurance for 1 month is $8,000. Unbelievable!
I was taking Actiq 800 mcg for almost 2 years. I had built up a tolerance and it wasn't working very well. My Dr changed my dose to 1600 mcg and I had fallen asleep at a red light and woke up coasting through the intersection... scared the stuff out if me! (I wait 4-hours after dose before I drive anywhere) After second time that happened I asked my Dr to change my Meds. My Dr switched me to 800 mcg Subsys and it worked amazing. So fast and great releif! That worked for about 18 months then I started getting withdrawal symptoms at the 4-5 hour mark. My Dr prescribed '1-does every 4 hours' but TRICARE only Auth/paid for 1-dose every 6 hours so my Dr had to change my script to every 6 hours. He wrote me a script for a 25mcg fentanyl patch, 'wear for 3 days, then change it' and it stopped the w/d for about 4 months. Now he wants to put me on 800 mcg fentora sublingual tablet and increase my fentanyl patch.
I am concerned about switching to fentora because I haven't found much about how well it works/or doesn't, & the side effects. My biggest concern is the w/d after 4 hours because I doubt TRICARE will Auth taking it every 4 hours. Does anyone here know if the fentora will last 6 hours? Or how well it works or doesn't? Thanks ...
Medicare has many different insurance programs. If you get one that focuses on prescriptions you hit your max in month one pay your portion then it picks up all cost the rest of the year. So ask your insurance agent for a better plan

The Ultimate 'Pumpkinhead' Mask is Coming Halloween 2017
Keep away from Pumpkinhead. Unless you're tired of living.
Back in 2012, the legendary Don Post Studios was set to release a Pumpkinhead mask (with creature gloves!) that I couldn't wait to get my hands on, but sadly, the company's collapse led to that year's Halloween offerings being left on the cutting room floor. To date, an officially licensed mask of one of my personal favorite movie monsters has never been released, but I'm incredibly happy to report that the wait is almost over. Because for Halloween 2017, Trick or Treat Studios summons the vengeance demon, and we've got your first look at the awesome upcoming mask.
Sculpted by Bruce Fuller and shown off on Instagram this week by company co-founder Justin Mabry, the Trick or Treat Studios Pumpkinhead mask is movie-accurate and insanely detailed, looking like someone walked onto the set of the film, cut off the big guy's head, and turned it into a display piece. The paint job is as impressive as the sculpt, capturing every little detail right down to the blue veins on Pumpkinhead's massive forehead. Simply put, this is the Pumpkinhead Halloween mask that myself and many others have loooong been waiting for.
The company's Halloween 2017 product line will also include a ginormous Texas Chainsaw Massacre collection to die for and several Creepshow masks.
Check out your first look at the Pumpkinhead mask below!

Jesus and a Job program lets felons, at-risk men renovate homes
Jesus and a Job program lets felons, at-risk men renovate homes
LOUISVILLE, Ky. —
Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer is highlighting the Jesus and a Job program.
He visited a work site Tuesday in the Portland neighborhood, where recently released felons and at-risk men help renovate homes in Louisville.
Rev. Charles Elliott started the initiative 15 years ago to help prevent violent crimes.
He said the city needs the program now more than ever.
"I want to get the young men who have fallen through the cracks, got good minds, if you look over there, you'll find some of them are electricians, carpenters, and these young men are now getting a check every week to take home rather than selling drugs or robbing or whatever," Elliot said.
Elliott runs the program through the King Solomon Baptist Church in west Louisville.

(Reuters) - Police in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and Minneapolis arrested two professional football players on trespassing and other charges, local media reported Sunday.
The arrests of Miami Dolphins defensive end Derrick Shelby and Minnesota Vikings tackle Tom Johnson came as the National Football League has come under nationwide scrutiny following a domestic violence incident involving one of its players.
In Fort Lauderdale, Shelby, 25, was charged with trespass and resisting arrest without violence after an apparent incident at a local nightclub, media reported.
Police did not immediately respond to requests for comment, but a detective told the Orlando Sun Sentinel newspaper that Shelby was reportedly causing a disturbance at the club early on Saturday and refused to leave when asked by staff and police.
A booking photo published by local media showed the third-year Dolphins player with apparent bruises on his face and left cheek.
Shelby's attorney, Daniel Rosenberg, said the player maintains his innocence. "There's a lot of conflicting information about his arrest," Rosenberg told the Sun Sentinel.
In a brief statement, the Miami Dolphins said they were aware of the reports about Shelby and were gathering information.
In Minneapolis, Johnson was arrested in the early hours of Sunday for disorderly conduct and trespass, local media and online jail records showed.
No other details were immediately available, but Johnson posted bail and is due in court on Oct. 17, according to the records from Hennepin County, Minnesota, which includes Minneapolis.
A Vikings spokesman said by email that the team was aware of the matter involving Johnson.
"We are continuing to gather information and will have further comment at the appropriate time," said the spokesman.
The arrests happened just weeks after the website TMZ.com published a video from inside a New Jersey casino elevator showing former Baltimore Ravens star Ray Rice punching his fiancee, now his wife, unconscious.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell initially gave Rice a two-game suspension over the incident, then indefinitely suspended him following the release of the video.
The league's uneven response has raised questions about the credibility and integrity of the NFL and Goodell, one of the most powerful figures in sports.

BEXLEY — The No. 17-ranked Ohio Northern volleyball team used a balanced offensive scoring attack on Friday evening as it swept Capital 3-0 at Performance Arena.
The Polar Bears improve to 17-4 overall and 2-1 in the Ohio Athletic Conference, while the Crusaders fall to 9-13, 1-3.
Sophomores Chelsea Huppert (Bremen, Ind.), Sydney Bapst (Grove City) and McKenna Jordan (Toledo/St. Ursula) paced ONU offensively, with 17, 10 and 10 kills, respectively.
Huppert hit a game-best .519 for the Polar Bears.
Freshman Katie Wade (Battle Creek, Mich./Harper Creek) posted a game-high 37 assists, while sophomores McKenna Hostetler (Plain City/Alder) and Kristin Langston (Versailles) and senior Megan Nieszala (Lambertville, Mich./St. Marys Catholic Central) all posted double-digit digs.
The first set was a back-and-forth battle as both teams stayed within three points the entire set.
Northern would open the first 3-point lead of the set as a kill from Huppert and back-to-back errors from CU allowed Northern to break an 11-11 tie and take a 14-11 lead.
After Capital battled back to 22-22, another 3-0 run capped by a service ace from Wade would seal the first set victory.
Northern led the entirety of the second set to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the contest.
A Huppert kill would push the ONU lead to 15-11 in the second set and force Capital to use a timeout.
From there, Northern would score 10 of the next 15 points, capped by a kill from Wade to take set two.
In the final set, ONU would use an 8-2 run to break a 10-10 tie and take an 18-12 lead.
Capital was able to fight back and climb within 22-21.
From there, a kill from Jordan and back-to-back kills from Huppert completed the sweep as ONU would go on to take the final set 25-22.
The Polar Bears will return to action on Tuesday evening as they travel to Tiffin to take on Heidelberg at 7 pm.

A new test may be better at detecting potentially harmful genetic changes in children before they are born than current methods, researchers say.
The test, called a chromosomal microarray, detected more irregularities that could result in genetic diseases — such as missing or repeated sections of genetic code — than did karyotyping, which is the current standard method of prenatal testing.
For instance, children who are missing a small portion of chromosome 22 will be born with DiGeorge syndrome, which can cause severe heart defects and developmental delays. In the study, a chromosomal microarray detected this missing section and diagnosed the condition, whereas a karyotype is not able to find the change.
Microarrays also identified some genetic changes linked to autism not revealed by karyotyping.
The findings suggest microarray should replace karyotyping as the standard method of finding genetic irregularities in fetuses, said study researcher Dr. Ronald Wapner, an obstetrician and gynecologist at Columbia University in New York. Microarrays are already used to diagnose genetic conditions in children with developmental disabilities and birth defects.
However, experts cautioned that microarrays could provide more information than is useful. Some abnormalities identified by the test are new, and have unknown or uncertain consequences, which can put stress on families. [See 11 Big Fat Pregnancy Myths]
It is critical that parents who receive this type of testing are counseled before and after the test about what the findings could mean, experts say.
Microarrays vs. karyotype
Karyotyping allows researchers to see whether too many or too few chromosomes are present, or if the chromosomes have an abnormal structure. In contrast, microarrays compare fetal DNA with that of a healthy person, giving researchers a closer look at the genetic code.
Both tests require amniocentesis, a procedure that takes fetal cells from the amniotic fluid and has risks, including a small risk of miscarriage.
In the study, Wapner and colleagues analyzed information from about 4,400 pregnant women who had prenatal testing because they were over 35, had an abnormal result on screening test for Down syndrome, or they had an ultrasound that indicated possible birth defects.
Microarray testing was just as good as karyotyping at detecting whether a fetus had too many or too few chromosomes.
In addition, about 2.5 percent of samples with a normal karyotype had microarray results that revealed missing or repeated sections of genetic code that could result in a genetic disease.
For fetuses with possible birth defects, about 6 percent of samples with a normal karyotype had abnormalities on the microarray.
In a second study, also published Wednesday, microarrays more often provided results on genetic testing looking for the cause of a stillbirth — 87 percent of microarray tests produced results, compared with 70 percent of karyotypes.
When to use microarrays
Dr. Manny Alvarez, an obstetrician and medical editor for Fox News, said he agreed with the conclusion that microarrays should replace karyotyping. "I will certainly be adding microarrays" when conducting amniocentesis tests, Alvarez said.
Also, karyotyping requires live cells, and if cells fail to grow in a lab, the amniocentesis must be repeated, Alvarez said. Microarrays don't require live cells, and so they do not have this problem, he said.
Some doctors have held back on using microarrays for prenatal testing because it's not always clear whether a genetic disease will manifest. One child with a particular genetic mutation may be disabled, while another with the same mutation may appear healthy.
But as databases of genetic abnormalities grow, and researchers study children for longer periods, understanding of what genetic findings mean will improve, Wapner said.
Dr. Monique Ho, an obstetrician and prenatal geneticist at the University of Rochester Medical Center, who was not involved in the study, said microarrays could replace karyotyping in some but not all cases.
Doctors might want to use microarrays if time is a factor, because the test is faster than karyotyping.
However, microarrays cannot reliably detect a phenomenon known as mosaicism, in which a genetic abnormality is found in some cells, but not all of them, Ho said. Microarrays also cannot detect changes in which there is no loss or gain of DNA, which could affect the next generation of children, Ho said.
The new studies will be published Thursday, Dec. 6 in the New England Journal of Medicine.

religous but not christian

There are many who are hypocritical and yet they will say that they are Christians or whatever their religious affiliation is. If that was the case, then why don't they practice what they are taught in their Church/Synagogue/Temple or Mosque. I used to go to Church every week with my wife and daughters but when we separated, it was all my fault because I was so busy being away driving trucks. She didn't mind the money because she certainly did spend it but also took up with some bloke she met playing darts. Her parents and grandparents went to the same Church, were elders in it, so had a lot to say. A lot in the Church believed what they said and nobody asked me what happened, so now I do not go to Church. I moved to a new town after that anyway.

Posts tagged iPhone Tracking
White Unicorn iPhone is OFFICIAL0
Even though Sony seems to be having issues with the PSN, and losing members credit cards, Apple seems to be having a BIG day; two major announcments from the big 'A'. They finally made the official announcement that our iPhones are not tracking us, but that they are tracking local wifi and cell tower spots, to help improve and possibly bring future features via a "crowed-sourced traffic database". (Sources:Apple Insider, Boy Genius Report, CNET, Engadget, TechCrunch,ArsTechnica & GigaOm)
As I said before, I don't really care about the issue, but a lot of people do, so if you want, you can read all of the articles that said something about it, and form your own opinion.
The other BIG announcement from Apple was the WHITE iPhone!!!!!!!!!!! It's been almost a year since the original announcement of the iPhone 4, being both in black and white, but we never saw the white iPhone materialize, but after a few days of rumors and retail store inventory screenshots, it is finally Official from Apple. We have a set date of April 28th (ArsTechnica, CrucnGear, Engadget, Boy Genius Report & CNET)!!So whip out your debit/credit card and head to the store. Now the issue I see for tomorrow is long lines and those who pre-ordered last June (2010). Will this cause a bottleneck limited supply issue? I would say yes, but only those in the tech world are really paying attention to this, and well, maybe those that pre-ordered it. My question is, will they get priority on the supply? I would think so. So I don't have to be into work until 9AM tomorrow, so if any store is opening early for this launch, I will go. If not, I'll just order one, or stop by a store here locally. I don't think my town will have a huge supply of them here, so I may have to go with ordering one. I would keep watching these sites for further information, as AT&T may do an opening or Apple may open early. So go get your white unicorn iPhone!!
The iPhone tracking problem0
Well it seems, even amongst all the rumors, rumors & rumors of the white "unicorn" iPhone 4 coming on the 27th of April (spotted for Vodafone in the UK and Van Roey in Belgium), Apple can't seem to get away from headlines about this whole tracking ordeal. It seems the whole world is asking questions as to why this is going on. South Korea is asking questions, the Attornery General from Illinois is asking for a meeting & now Senator Al Franken is holding a hearing on May 10th and has called Apple and Google both to this meeting.
What has made this even worse, is now there is a couple of guys filing a class action lawsuit against Apple; one is from Florida and the other from New York. What's even better about this is, a user emailed the great and powerful Steve Jobs, told him that he was getting a droid, and he got SERVED. Basically, Steve told the guy that Apple doesn't track you, Google (via Android) does track you, and all the blogs are lying and spewing false information. WOW. How can you deny the information that is out there? The two guys from the UK plainly showed it works with their online tool and directions. Now even if Apple doesn't use the information directly, why would you store it on the phone and on the local harddrive of the PC or Mac? UNENCRYPTED.
I found this file on my PC, I haven't put it on a map yet, but still rather odd that it is there. It seems a security issue, especially since users that know nothing about the inner workings of an iPhone can be easily SSH'd into with the 'root' and 'alpine' combination. (Why doesn't Apple give the basic user the chance to change this, without having to jailbreak. ) Once inside, the file isn't even encrypted and easily downloadable and transferred to a map. So it seems to be a small whole in the security of the iPhone and it is causing a lot of concern among a lot of people.
The funny thing is, WE ALL CONSENTED to it, wether you knew about it or not. So I have no more pity for those crying about this issue. If you don't take time read what you are agreeing to, then it is your own fault. The same goes for any legal documents, it is always good to read it before you sign anything! I'll give you a section from the Apple document that you agreed to, upon purchasing and syncing up your iPhone: (pulled from the Apple SLA .pdf)
(b) Location Data. Apple and its partners and licensees may provide certain services through your iPhone that rely upon location information. To provide and improve these services, where available, Apple and its partners and licensees may transmit, collect, maintain, process and use your location data, including the real-time geographic location of your iPhone, and location search queries. The location data and queries collected by Apple are collected in a form that does not personally identify you and may be used by Apple and its partners and licensees to provide and improve location-based products and services. By using any location-based services on your iPhone, you agree and consent to Apple's and its partners' and licensees' transmission, collection, maintenance, processing and use of your location data and queries to provide and improve such products and services. You may withdraw this consent at any time by going to the Location Services setting on your iPhone and either turning off the global Location Services setting or turning off the individual location settings of each location-aware application on your iPhone. Not using these location features will not impact the non location-based functionality of your iPhone. When using third party applications or services on the iPhone that use or provide location data, you are subject to and should review such third party's terms and privacy policy on use of location data by such third party applications or services.
See? You agreed to that when you were syncing up the iPhone for the first time. You may not have realized it, as most people don't. You just click and click and click, until you get to the end so you can setup your phone. The problem that I have with all of this, it seems that we are to believe (again for regular users) that this can be disabled by turning off the location servies, inside the settings of your phone. There are tests that show that iPhone continues to record location data, even after the switch is turned off. So you are being lied to at this point? "Oh yeah, we track you, we're sorry. You can turn that off in your settings. Not really."
As for me, I don't really care, and it doesn't bother me, but there are some people out there that still don't have a cell phone, don't direct deposit, mail things with a stamp, write letters, have landline phones and still pay for cable or satellite service. It may matter to them, and it may be their first smartphone and they don't like the idea that they are being tracked, even if it isn't being uploaded anywhere. If you do care and don't really know what do about it, I suggest you jailbreak your iPhone and download the app 'untrackered'.
Just one more thing, it seems that Microsoft is trying to get a piece of this frenzy pie. Since they are the lowest percentage of smartphone users, it seems they are just reaching for attention at this point. They basically say they do the same thing, but just don't store it locally for someone to find. Shut up microsoft, no one cares.

text: Hi All, got hit by a demon cold on Boxing Day so all social plans on hold while I recovered, although I couldn't avoid work so have been going into work then slumping for the intervening days. Thought all my catering was over and done on Christmas Day as my daughter is off house-sitting for a couple of weeks but my son managed to get a couple of unexpected days off at New Year and came home so another family meal was called for. On Christmas Day I got my daughter and her boyfriend spud bashing so all I had to do was cook and supervise (turns out I'm quite good at bossing people about - who knew? ). Unfortunately, yesterday everyone was so hung-over, except your truly, that damage limitation dictated I'd need to do the lot myself. Had a lovely day catching up but was quite glad to see the back of everyone in the evening so I could put my feet up. Today I feel as if I've done a triathlon and I'm having a few of those bleak "everyone would be better off without me moments". I know they'll pass but not at all nice while they last. Luckily I rearranged the OT appointment I was supposed to have this morning as I thought I'd be below par. Got my second opinion tomorrow and I'm really nervous. Daft really as I've had that many appointments with different healthcare professionals over the years that you'd think I'd be used to it by now. This is possibly the most nervous I've been as there's so much riding on it, I'm my mind, and at the mo there's nobody at home to talk to about it. Glad you're all here to ramble on to x

Here are the top 6 happenings of the trip:
- Got to sign up (late) to run in the 5 mile race! It was a fun race to run in, & the weather was perfect.
- Learned just how much Katrina talks in her sleep. Just about every hour she was shouting something out. She seems to get out her frustrations in her sleep.
- Treated rashes on 3 of 4 of my kids from the hot tubs. Turned out that quite a few other kiddos got them too. Neosporin and Benedryl did the trick to fix it.
- Hiked Delicate Arch and listened to Sydie cry about climbing up the trail the whole way. She did get distracted by a lizard or two which was lovely. Once we hit shade she felt a lot better.
- Visited a place called Hidden Arch which is a MUST-see. It's basically a .5 mile walk down to this really soft cool sand that's enclosed within these rock walls and towers with a cute little arch within that kids climbed on top of. Our kids favorite spot for sure. We tried to revisit it the next day but that day happened to be a lot colder and WINDY. And I mean Windy. It was a like a scene from Hildalgo. People had wrapped themselves with blankets where you could just see their eyes in order to not get the sting of the sand hitting you from every direction. Not worth it. We basically got back into the car and ended up sitting it out in the cabin until the winds let up.
- ATV-Monday. Everyone either rented (like us) or brought up their ATV's and we basically went out all day to a couple of different spots and had a total party. Favorite place and most beautiful scenary was by far Onion Creek. Loved loved loved it.

text: On August 12, the FTC announced an action against a data broker enterprise for violations of the FTC Act. The FTC's complaint alleges that, from at least 2011 to 2013, the data broker enterprise (i) sold payday loan applications to Ideal Financial Solutions and other non-lender third party companies for less than market value; and (ii) knew or had reason to know that Ideal Financial used the information to make unauthorized debits from consumers' bank accounts. The complaint further alleges that the financial information of over 500,000 consumers was provided to Ideal Financial, which resulted in over $7.1 million of unauthorized debits to consumers' accounts. Three of the defendants have agreed to settle the FTC's allegations. The proposed settlement orders prohibit all three defendants from selling or otherwise benefitting from consumers' personal information, and impose a $7.1 million judgment against two defendants and a $3.7 million judgment against the third. The settlement orders are subject to approval by the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada.
