This is quite the way to get customers to buy bigger lamps. Nothing more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the reports I have been able to see show that the "ionizing effect" of the Salt Lamp reaches a 4-5 feet in any direction from the well warmed lamp. Whether the ions generated are enough to make you breathe better, clear up asthma and other respiratory problems or any of the other claims I have read STILL remains to be scientifically proven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to say in fairness that, if only as a result of the placebo effect, I regularly receive calls at Salt Lamp Creations (www.SaltLampCreations.com) from customers who insist they breathe easier and sleep beeter with one of our Salt lamps on their bedside. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You be the judge!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31647797-1756152521642080216?l=saltlampking.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.saltlampcreations.com' title='How Big A Lamp Do I Need For My Room?'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saltlampking.blogspot.com/feeds/1756152521642080216/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31647797&amp;postID=1756152521642080216' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31647797/posts/default/1756152521642080216'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31647797/posts/default/1756152521642080216'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saltlampking.blogspot.com/2009/02/how-big-lamp-do-i-need-for-my-room.html' title='How Big A Lamp Do I Need For My Room?'/><author><name>Jerry</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04485460998449738409</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647797.post-6950565559470598862</id><published>2009-01-02T11:56:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-27T22:51:18.747-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Natural Salt Lamps'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Himalayan Salt Lamps'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Salt Lamps'/><title type='text'>Salt Lamps and Snake Oil</title><content type='html'>Posted as a direct Quote from the Los Angeles Times by www.SaltLampCreations.com where we have always promoted Salt Lamps as a thing of beauty rather than focus on their curative power. We are NOT the Canadian company quoted in the article:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ho-Ho Hocum Gift products that Claim To Boost Health and Well-being&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Salt Lamps&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These functioning electric lamps enclosed in a chunk of salt have been adding their pleasant glow to health fairs and mall kiosks for years. Unlike most light fixtures, illumination isn't their main selling point. Salt lamps are touted as a natural source of "negative ions" that supposedly improve the health of anyone nearby.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shopping over the Internet, you can quickly find salt lamps in many shapes, including pyramids, angels and, appropriately enough for the season, Christmas trees. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The claims: According to one Canadian website, the negative ions released by salt lamps will relieve stress and "clean ambient air." The cleansing power of the lamps supposedly makes them "especially helpful for relieving the symptoms of allergies and asthma." The site also claims that the lamp's soft orange color can boost mood and improve the focus of children with attention deficit disorder. Other sites claim that salt lamps can treat migraines, insomnia, depression, sinusitis and viral infections.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bottom line: If glowing crystals fit the home décor of your friends and family, salt lamps might be a good present. But experts see two basic flaws behind the claim that users will ionize their way to good health. First, it's not possible for a chunk of salt to release a significant amount of negative ions, says Victor Stenger, a professor emeritus of physics and astronomy at the University of Hawaii in Honolulu. There isn't nearly enough energy in a lamp to break up the ionic bonds between the sodium and chlorine in salt. "If that were true, we'd have chlorine gas coming out our salt shakers."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nadeem Azeem, a partner (at the Canadian company) says he has heard such criticisms before but believes that his lamps really do produce ions. "Believe" is the key word. "We haven't done any studies," he says. "But I'm sure that meters can measure the ions."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even if these salt blocks somehow released ions through a loophole in the laws of chemistry and physics, they couldn't deliver on their health claims, says Michael Terman, director of the Center for Light Treatment and Biological Rhythms at Columbia University Medical Center in New York City. Terman's studies have found that large doses of negatively charged oxygen ions generated by a machine can help ease depression in people with seasonal affective disorder -- a finding touted on several salt lamp sites. But there's a world of difference between oxygen streaming from a machine and chlorine supposedly trickling from a rock, he says. "I was dismayed to see my research touted by salt lamp companies. It's disgraceful." As for the claim that the color of the lamps can dramatically improve mood or treat ADHD -- "that's just nuts," Terman says.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other studies of negative ions (from machines, not salt) have had decidedly mixed results. For example, a review published in 2003 found no evidence that negative ions can improve symptoms of asthma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Canadian company owner says his salt lamps can't really be compared to machine ionizers. "Salt lamps don't produce as many ions as a machine," he says. "In nature, things happen very slowly." Or, some would say, not at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At Salt Lamp Creations (www.SaltLampCreations.com) you can read about how Salt Lamps are made and shop for Salt Lamps as simply things of beauty crafted from 250 million year old Salt (carbon dating fact!)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31647797-6950565559470598862?l=saltlampking.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saltlampking.blogspot.com/feeds/6950565559470598862/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31647797&amp;postID=6950565559470598862' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31647797/posts/default/6950565559470598862'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31647797/posts/default/6950565559470598862'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saltlampking.blogspot.com/2009/01/salt-lamps-and-snake-oil.html' title='Salt Lamps and Snake Oil'/><author><name>Jerry</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04485460998449738409</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647797.post-4259629996307990722</id><published>2008-10-05T18:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-05T18:03:14.723-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Salt Lamps are Calming</title><content type='html'>It has been a while since I wrote a Salt Lamp blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seems I get so busy with day to day life and my family that I forget to keep up on posting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Salt Lamp sellers are still at it, promoting these works of Mother Nature's handicraft as a "cure for all that ails you", yet if I ask 100 people I still think over 90% of them have no idea of what a Salt Lamp is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think that is because they are mostly sold as a wholistic healing crystals rather than as a beautiful decorative item for the home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is nothing more beautiful than a Sphere shaped Salt Lamp as a child's nightlight... yet most purveyors of Salt Lamps sell them as Negative Ion Generators.

I wish they had the courtesy of posting with their name and email address. If they did I would have happily replied to them directly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They must have me confused with the majority of Salt Lamp sellers who claim that Salt Lamps can cure your ailments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyone who actually reads my posts, &lt;em&gt;and isn't just likely a competitor of mine who is trying to besmurch my reputation as a legitimate Salt Lamp company&lt;/em&gt;, knows that I claim only that Salt Lamps are beautiful and make great gifts for any occasion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If customers find some health benefit, whether it is a result of a "placebo effect" or an actual increased sense of wellness associated with the Salt Lamp, it is not something that I do not encourage. I only share their comments on the Testimonial pages. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that we are rapidly approaching the Holidays, trying to come up with a unique alternative to mass produced "stuff", is difficult. Salt Lamps from &lt;a href="http://www.saltlampcreations.com/"&gt;www.SaltLampCreations.com&lt;/a&gt; offer you natural works of art, with no two ever alike. These Salt Lamps and Salt Tea Lights make giftables that you can be sure no one will ever try to return.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine being able to buy a piece of pre-history, 250 million years old Salt formed at the time the Earth's continents were shifting and forming. Salt Lamps made from Salt found at the foothills of the Himalayas, in a place Alexander the Great's horses licked at the ground and led Alexander to capture and control the richest Salt mines found anywhere in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So don't call me a shyster, call me a purveyor of Nature's Wonder. Salt Lamps are beautiful. Name callers are ugly. Sticks and Stones can break my bones, but words won't rub Salt into any wound. Check out Salt Lamp creations Salt Lamps and decide for yourself.

But she said she really wanted to know about their healing powers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I asked her what she meant, she read me what seemed like 2 pages of "documentation" purportedly in support of the many curative powers of the Natural Salt Lamp. The list was exhaustive and each time I thought she was done reading me the ailments that Salt Lamps could "cure", she went on with more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When she finally finished, all I could say was WOW!&lt;br /&gt;After hearing the list of maladies these lamps could cure, I almost cried.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here we are spending hundreds of billions of dollars in the USA and abroad trying to eradicate illness and to reduce airborne pollutants when we could instead, based on the "empirical" eveidence supplied to this potential customer, pass out a Salt Lamp to everyone and all the illnesses would vanish, everyone's skin would be soft and supple, all the skies would be blue and global warming would be reversed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We decided long ago, that since were not Doctors, and the FDA frowns on misleading Health claims, we would sell our lamps on their aesthetic beauty and on the fast that this is Nature's handiwork that could date back as far as the beginning of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But... If you buy all those claims about Salt Lamps...I've got some swamp land in Florida...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, if you want beautuful quality Salt Lamps that make the most unique gifts check us out!  &lt;a href="http://www.SaltLampCreations.com"&gt;www.SaltLampCreations.com&lt;/a&gt;  If you experience a miraculous cure, let us know and we will add you to the list of testimonials we have received.

Hand mined from caves deep below the surface of the Himalayan mountains, this Salt is over 150 million years old and was "created" as a result of the colloision of the continents, as the Earth went through some big land mass changes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, the Salt Crystal is removed from the mines and formed by hand chipping into Natural shapes or machine carved into Geometrical shapes. The Salt is then drilled to accomodate a lighting assembly so that they produce a warm glow when illuminated with a simple small candelabra bulb. The Crystal Salt is now a Salt Lamp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an attempt to sell more Salt Lamps, many companies are relying on the desire of Americans to find wholistic cures for things that ail them. We receive dozens of phone calls and email inquiries to ask us if our Salt Lamps work like the others they have seen advertised. They ask us if it is true that a Salt Lamp can purify the air and rid it of all harmful allergens and produce miraculous cures for diseases ranging from Asthma to Allergies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All Salt Lamps basically come the same region and thus are "created equal" however....not all Salt Lamp companies are created equal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since we (&lt;a href="http://www.SaltLampCreations.com"&gt;www.SaltLampCreations.com&lt;/a&gt;) are not Doctors, and do not want to run up against the FDA, who eventually get involved in reviewing any product that makes medical claims. Without having spent $ millions on studies that can provide proof of their claims, Salt Lamp companies are freely dispensing stories about the healing power of Salt Lamps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just yesterday I received a notification of a class action suit against Sharper Image for claims they made about their now famous Ionic Breeze machines. Though Sharper Image appears to deny it, the case against them was brought by people who relied on the company's claims and had adverse effects when using the product. The suit claims that the Ionic Breeze emits harmful Ozones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We also receive letters (testimonials) from customers who have had positive experience from their Salt Lamps and we are pleased that they have derived a benefit. But we hold true to our main belief: Salt Lamps are beautiful and as every Salt Lamp is, by Nature, unique, they make a special addition to anyone's home or office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me know what you think!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31647797-7072559262590191287?l=saltlampking.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saltlampking.blogspot.com/feeds/7072559262590191287/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31647797&amp;postID=7072559262590191287' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31647797/posts/default/7072559262590191287'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31647797/posts/default/7072559262590191287'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saltlampking.blogspot.com/2007/04/salt-lamp-update.html' title='Salt Lamp Update'/><author><name>Jerry</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04485460998449738409</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647797.post-116500169635551343</id><published>2006-12-01T11:22:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-01T11:34:56.366-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Salt Of The Earth Himalayan Bath Salts</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.saltlampcreations.com/acatalog/bath_salts.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.saltlampcreations.com/acatalog/bath_salts.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Pass The Salt Please ...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;We have all experienced the relaxing and soothing powers of a nice warm bath with Epsom Salts. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Well wait till you try these Natural, unprocessed Salts... they will amaze you. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;While a few ounces dissolved in Hot Water and then added to your bath will create a soothing bath the real treat for your Skin is in adding all or half the bag to a container of VERY Hot water and letting it completely dissolve.

From reducing airborne pollen and dander, to promoting relaxation and reducing stress.

While we understand that people are always looking for the latest advances in Medicine (or the oldest advances in Eastern Medicine) we find these 150-250 Million year old Himalayan Salt sculptures to be relatively ineffective at clearing the air of pollen, dander, smoke and other airborne pollutants but they are absolutely beautiful to look at.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Consumers Get Questionable Information on the Health Benefits Of Salt Lamps&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;OK…I’ll admit it. I’ve got allergies. But I am not alone. Misery indeed appears to love company.Unfortunately, some less than reputable Internet Salt Lamp companies are preying on innocent consumers who are seeking relief…that is how I first heard about Salt Lamps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the FDA gets wind of some of the Health claims being made by Internet Salt Lamp companies, there will be a lot of red faces and slapped hands. Claiming they can cure everything from Asthma to Sleep Disorders, they are the latest incarnation of the Snake Oil salesman of the past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As reported by Reuters Health, findings published in the August 2005 issue of the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, clinical studies found that that more than half ( 54.3 percent ) of the U.S. population is sensitive to one or more common allergens, placing them at increased risk for the development of asthma, hay fever, and eczema. Researchers at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences ( NIEHS ) and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, both components of the National Institutes of Health, conducted the studies.&lt;br /&gt;So what do I do about my allergies? The list of possible side effects from popular allergy medications sounds just too risky. I’d rather sneeze!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I seek relief, but, like many others, try to avoid medications. Recently I tried fancy Negative Ion Generators from marketers like Sharper Image and Brookstone that boldly claim that they will quietly and unobtrusively rid the air I breathe of dander, pollen and other airborne allergens. With my machine placed in the optimal spot in my living room, as instructed in the directions that accompanied my “clean air machine”, I sat waiting for what they called the “post-thunderstorm effect”. It seems that the air is cleanest and purest just after a thunderstorm. This was due to the “fact” that Negative Ions were recoded at their highest level after these meteorological events.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SHAME ON THEM!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No such luck… Mine did nothing but attract dust to its replaceable filter from within a few foot radius of the machine. Even if they did do what they said they could, I would to have at least one in every room in my house and another strapped on my back for when I ventured outdoors. I was still sneezing… but now I was out over $300.00&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next try, the Natural approach. I was told that Salt Lamps ( Yes, lamps made from Natural Salt mined in the Himalayas ) were being advertised as Nature’s Ionizer, and that they were scientifically proven to clean and freshen the air in my “personal space”. According to the Internet ads, you just plug them in and immediately the air would be pure and allergies would disappear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SHAME ON THEM TOO!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I experienced nothing more than with the machines. The Salt, which is a hygroscopic material ( pulls moisture from the air ), did indeed attract some airborne dust from the air. But I didn’t experience it “generating” Negative Ions that in any way purified the air. Upon doing more research, the fine print on some sites shows that you would need one lamp for every 6 square feet of space, or 20 of these $50 lamps for a small size bedroom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Salt Lamps have only been sold in the US for about 5 years, and still most people have never heard of them. There are some 7,300,000 references to them on Google, and in Spain and Germany they are commonplace, often sold at Grocery stores, but ask anyone on the street if they have heard of a Salt Lamp and they will look at you with a blank stare!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, they didn’t help my allergies one bit but I did find the lamps beautiful to look at…amazed that something “created” at the beginning of time, could be affordably mined, carved into Natural and Geometric shapes and offered to the public at affordable prices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was intrigued by the warm glow of these translucent rocks of salt crystal, cored to hold a bulb or a tea light candle that illuminates the striated colorations of the lamp from within. And all my friends wanted to know where they could get one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I created a company that would steer clear of most of the Health claims and focus instead on finding the source of the most beautiful colors and best carved lamps available. Today we sell top grade and beautifully colored Salt Lamps and Natural Salt Tea Lights, attractively packaged to sell to upscale “urban living” stores.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With pictures showing Salt Lamps in use as Night Lights in a child’s bedroom and as replacements for the cheap looking tea lights on restaurant tables, we are hopeful that people will appreciate these lamps for their Natural beauty. If indeed there are any Health benefits that will certainly be a plus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In our research of the claims being made about the miracle Salt Lamp cure we did find some evidentiary information about the use of Salt in the bathtub for soothing sore muscles ( think Epsom Salts ) and some documentation about the use of Salt to reduce the irritation of Eczema and Psoriasis…so we sell Salt Bars and Bath Salts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At a teenaged cousin’s suggestion we created Cool Color Crystal Salt Lamps that come with 6 different colored bulbs so now you can change the color of your Salt Lamp to match your mood or your décor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During Christmas a priest suggested a devotional series so we created 3 carved cross styles that have a verse plate with a quote from Matthew 5:13-14 - - You Are The Salt OF The Earth…. You Are The Light Of The World.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How appropriate!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The market for Salt Lamps is growing rapidly in the USA. Currently you will find them in Natural Food stores and Health Spas and some New Age Crystal shops.Soon they will reach the more mainstream market and these beautiful works of Nature will be the freshest new gift idea for any special occasion. A unique gift that will last forever.We named our Himalayan Crystal Salt Lamps “The Salt Of The Earth” and our company, Salt Lamp Creations, LLC sells 16 different styles on their website &lt;a class="mystyle" href="http://www.SaltLampCreations.com/" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.SaltLampCreations.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So…while some claim that the Salt Lamp is the perfect Natural cure for Allergies, be very skeptical. We like them because they are naturally beautiful.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31647797-115384899287423524?l=saltlampking.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saltlampking.blogspot.com/feeds/115384899287423524/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31647797&amp;postID=115384899287423524' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31647797/posts/default/115384899287423524'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31647797/posts/default/115384899287423524'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saltlampking.blogspot.com/2006/07/do-salt-lamps-really-work.html' title='Do Salt Lamps Really Work?'/><author><name>Jerry</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04485460998449738409</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry></feed>
