Rating: - A Definate PurchaseI waited with much anticipation for this product to arrive at my door. It was a little late and by that time my Poison Ivy attack was getting pretty bad. I took the product as recommended and it did work. However, I can't seem to eliminate the condition completely, maybe I am getting it again from my garden tools or my clothes. I think I need to buy the scrub from another manufacturer to take care of my clothes and tools. I am still currently taking it but not every two hours. I have been hit again recently and it seems to have stalled any real progress of my infection. I have ordered two more bottle for me and my new wife because she is also susceptible to these wicked plants. So, I believe ... Read More Rating: - No more itch!I love this stuff! It really works! That's the best review anything can get. Basically this is poison ivy poison in an alcohol solution. You put a few drops in water, juice, vodka, whatever, and chug it. There is no reaction, no stomach upset, no rash on your tongue, no jitters (ok, that depends on how much vodka you put it in). But seriously, if you take 5 drops for 10 days or so before being exposed to the dreaded PI, you will have immunity. I am a major hiker and in Pennsylvania where I stomp the trails, PI is rife. If I get a direct hit, I might get an itchy feeling on that spot, but even that is rare. For the most part, I am immune. No red messy spots, no blisters, no agony. Buy ... Read More Rating: - Only thing that truely works for me.I am extremely allergic to poison ivy. I would get from handling my kid's cloths after they ran through some, or from petting my dog, cats or horse if they were exposed. I have had to get shots and customized high dose step down steroid pill regimes from my doctor. Two years ago, last time I went into the doctor for poison ivy, I checked my chart and found that I had poison ivy every year for the prior five years and visited the doctor every four to eight weeks from April to November. That was because once the steroids wore off the poison ivy came back and the higher the treatment doses the worse the flair up after it was done. I dislike drugs, mostly because they don't work! Sure the shots ... Read More Rating: - Have not received the Oral Ivy Liquid I can't review this because I have never received it. Rating: - As advertisedSeems to work, Hope it was not psycosematic, Will see when I get exposed again. |
Ted Shelton: "Frankly I felt that BlogOn was a waste of time and money."
I think the BlogOn conference was overproduced. In the name of professionalism the organizing firm turned off potential speakers, oversubscribed sponsors, etc.
I would have liked a debatable topic (aside from *blogging = journalism*. Two people slugging it out. Or a devil's advocate taking challenges from the floor.
I would have liked more hard numbers. Facts. Charts. Diagrams. We have the analytic tools to BS-check them; harder on vague opinions and single-points-of-observation.
I found it disturbing how much money was being commanded (from both attendees and sponsors) for a conference at a university. Maybe it was because it was at Berkeley? Maybe we should have taken over a community college or a Cal State or a DeVry. The facilities costs would have been cheaper at least. I heard an organizer apologize and say the next one would be at a hotel, like that would have been better.
Cost wasn't the whole problem. We're at a stage where early adopters are meeting folks who want to leap the chasm. Huge gaps in knowledge, experience, context, culture, vocabulary. It's the gap.
There are huge ideas to be explored, even in the world of applying blogs to media strategy and the enterprise. And most of the big ideas weren't even on the agenda at BlogOn. Probably because it was catering to those who want to commercialize, fund, and otherwise exploit (excuse me, "get in on") the emerging medium.
Let's fork these conferences so advanced topics on business and technology and culture fit the participants.
