I Spit on Your Grave – Italian poster
I Spit on Your Grave is already a remarkably unpleasant film, but this poster puts it through the Italian filter of sexy lingerie, blood, bondage, and a leather bound stool resulting in something far more obnoxious dripping in gaudy glitz.
Prison yard love
This discussion between two inmates where they lament the troubles of prison yard love is both hysterical in its outrageous and very Australian dialogue and also strangely touching in an odd, sweary way.
Alien Spell (スペル星人 Superu Seijin)
Alien Spell has a more interesting back story than any Ultra monster - I'm not talking about his narrative history, but the controversy his episode, "From a Planet with Love", generated back in the late 60s.
Alabama's Ghost – US poster
Godmonster of Indian Flats is a favourite of mine, so it's a mystery that I'm yet to see Alabama's Ghost from the same director, Fredric Hobbs. This poster of almost Ghanaian levels of insanity is a reminder that I need to seek it out.
All out Female Prisoner assault on male guards
Towards the end of Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion, the prisoners take over their cell block and hold male prison guards hostage. In an utterly mad moment of role reversal, they strip down and vent their pent-up sexual frustrations on the terrified guards.
Love in Sampan (1992)
Domestic abuse, forced marriage, alcoholism: these are the erotic themes of Dik On's sole directorial effort, Love in Sampan. Yes, I think this is about as bleak as softcore sex gets.
Bad Taste – Italian poster
I was perusing the incredible offerings from Westgate Gallery and came across a fantastic poster for Peter Jackson's Bad Taste. The brilliant artwork has little to do with the film itself, but hey, it looks great!
Bikers love blowing things up
Nomad Riders kicks off with a literal bang as a gang of bad ass bikers blow up a family. At this point in the film, no context has been given for this act, which makes it fucking hilarious. The bikers then blow up some poor dude trying to use a portaloo. Just for kicks.
Black Snow (1965)
With Daydream, Tetsuji Takechi made the first mainstream pinku eiga, but with Black Snow, he really ruffled feathers. Yet for all its importance, Black Snow is largely forgotten.
Strike Commando – Italian poster
Reb Brown spends much of the movie screaming, so it's appropriate that pretty much every poster for Strike Commando features the hero opened mouthed and furious.
Holy bananas!
Towards the end of Color Me Blood Red, while seeking out firewood, Sydney and Jack accidentally dig up the corpse of one of the killer's victims. Jack's reaction takes things to Burt Ward levels of lunacy.

Ask Darby Nelson to flex her biceps and she will gladly oblige. Don't mistake her confidence for vanity, however — this is a 17-year-old who contentedly wears sweatpants and a T-shirt to class most days to Westfield High in Chantilly. "If I can work out at any time, I feel good," she says of her attire.
Asking Nelson to display her muscles is like inviting an artist to speak about her craft. It's a point of pride for her, a 5-foot-6 senior who added an intense workout routine to her life nearly two years ago only to morph into a muscular weight-lifting fiend and All-Met rower.
While her classmates are asleep at 6 a.m., she's at her gym, tossing around chalk-covered barbells and wiping sweat from her brow. While classmates drink water, juice or soda, she mixes her chocolate whey protein shakes every morning from her usual spot at the front of the class. While some teenage girls her age worry about skinny jeans and looking thin, Nelson concerns herself with improving her squat and deadlift.
She is proud of her powerful physique and all she has poured into building it.
"I've just accepted society's norms and break them when they come across me," she said.
Nelson's lifting makes her unique at her school, one of the biggest in the state. She views it as not just a way to prepare for crew, a sport dependent on cardiovascular endurance and leg and arm strength. It's also preparing her for the Naval Academy, where she was recruited to row, and a career in the military. While society generally rewards men, not women, for appearing muscular, Nelson embraces looking strong.
"I don't care about being big because I can do things that most people can't," she said. "It's kind of empowering."
Nelson is a disciple of a growing licensed fitness routine established in the 1980s called CrossFit. It combines elements of gymnastics, cardiovascular exercises and weight lifting, and features anything from climbing rope, running to flipping tires. A recent workout involved doing as many sets of seven pull-ups and seven 65-pound shoulder presses as possible for 14 minutes without a break. The basic tenet of CrossFit is intensity and little rest, and doing as many repetitions as you can in as little time as possible.
Searching for an exercise to help improve her rowing and ease back spasms that had developed from it, Nelson stumbled into CrossFit the summer before her junior year. Her rowing team did very little weight lifting and a family friend suggested the routine. The first day she tried it, she could manage only half of the jump rope and situps required.
By the third day of CrossFit, Nelson lifted 112 pounds over her head in a split jerk routine, where the barbell is thrust from the shoulders into the air while putting one leg forward. It was scary, because she had never put so much weight over her head, but an addicting feeling. She wanted to get better.
"She's always amazed me just how she pushed the boundaries," said Sara Blaschke, her mother. "And even more so now how she has taken to this. It wasn't at all what I expected. She has always done the unexpected to me."
CrossFit and lifting helped Nelson shave nine seconds from her 2,000-meter time, down to 7 minutes, 24 seconds, within the first four months. Nelson fell so in love with CrossFit that she earned her trainer certification last March and has competed in six competitions across the country.
At her first foray into competitive power lifting in December, she deadlifted 330 pounds — a national record for girls in her age and weight class (deadlifting requires bringing a barbell from the floor to the waist). Nelson has since lifted 350 pounds at a CrossFit competition in March.
During the crew offseason, she works out six days a week; in season, it's two or three times a week while balancing crew practice.
"I know a lot of guys are scared of her because when she took weight lifting through the school [junior year], she was lifting more than them," said close friend Anne Culbertson, a senior coxswain on school's boys' crew team. "I'm sure they were embarrassed that she was blowing them out of the water."
According to Hammer Down CrossFit owner Todd Katz, who has owned the gym for three years, Nelson is the strongest woman there.
At school, she's built her identity as such. Crew teammates come to her for advice on muscle recovery. Recently, a male classmate she barely talked to began chatting with her online, soliciting her advice on Olympic lifting. She's become a go-to of sorts for workout enthusiasts in her circle — a role she relishes.
"You work hard to develop the body the way that you want to," said Nelson, the youngest of three girls. "For some people, that's fashion. They spend hours a day on makeup and their hair and whatever. And for me, I spend hours a day working out. That's how I've developed myself to be. So if you're going to ask me to flex, then sure."
Her daily meals consist mainly of a protein shake after her 6 a.m. workouts. Because she attends the junior ROTC program at Chantilly, she goes home for lunch, where she eats a pre-made, pre-ordered meal from a company that adheres to a Paleo diet of lean meats, vegetables and fruits. She snacks on whole almonds, bacon or deli meat, such as salami. Dinner is generally her favorite easy-to-make combination of protein and carbohydrates: scrambled eggs, bacon and sweet potatoes.
But being a bigger, more powerful girl comes with its challenges. High school is all about conforming to the trends, as Nelson put it — and that's where she differs. Finding prom and homecoming dresses hasn't been easy — though Culbertson is Nelson's main advisor on shopping. "It pretty much has got to be backless and strapless because not many girls are built like she is," Blaschke said.
On a recent afternoon crew practice at Bull Run Marina in Manassas, as she ran to grab a missing piece of equipment from the boathouse, Nelson overheard a boy from an opposing high school ask another: is that a girl or a guy that just ran past you?
Long ago, Nelson learned that no thickness of skin can fully prevent the pain of words. As a freshman, when she started rowing, she was a self-admitted "bigger" kid. Before she started CrossFit, she weighed 160 pounds. She's the same weight now, exchanging the fat for muscle. Nelson can't remember the last time she has cried after a teasing remark but it has happened. She didn't that afternoon, instead she continued on her way.
Later that night, Nelson recounted the event on her Facebook page, closing with the tongue-in-cheek line: "I'm not going to be saving him from the zombie apocalypse."
It was a telling comment from a teenager who, when she talks about her goals in life, seems as if she wants to be Superwoman, an all-powerful, problem-solving dynamo. She wants to be able to physically and mentally ready for anything life throws at her, from carrying a buddy in combat to moving a couch. She chose the military because she considers soldiers heroes and wants to give back by doing the same.
"Having these skills and abilities in my back pocket whenever I need to, it's a good feeling," she said. "I won't be struggling to do one or two pushups or anything."
Nelson is soft-spoken and introspective. She also exudes self-confidence in a I'm-comfortable-in-my-own-skin manner. Katz often has to stop himself when running through a list of things for her to do when she babysits his children. "Sometimes I forget I'm talking to a high schooler," he said.
"The people that like me, they like me for me," she said. "I appreciate the fact that I don't have to look nice for people to like me."
As Nelson rows and pulls the oars back toward her chest, her built triceps bulge. As she tosses around barbells, her hands white from the chalk, the light casts shadows on the curves of her developed forearms. Even among her fellow rowers, her muscularity stands out.
Sometimes, Nelson sneaks a glance in the mirror and notices how her large trapezoid muscles above her shoulders have grown. Looking at her reflection staring back at her, a smile crosses her face.
"That's awesome," she says.

Recycling & Reusable Goods, including motor vehicles, and where to do it
It's amazing how many everyday used goods we have lying around the house that someone else can use, either to recycle so they can help our environment, or to re-use for a personal project. Go through the comments underneath this post to find them or add more. There are even places that will recycle used motor vehicles to help promote environmental education, such as the Dodge Nature Center, http://dodgenaturecenter.org. In my 10/29/05 comment under this category, learn where you can RECYCLE YOUR APPLIANCES, ELECTRONIC PRODUCTS and BATTERIES, or places where you can give or get free reusable goods. Also, some schools collect Campbell's soup can labels to help purchase new equipment. School computer labs often need used paper if it's only printed on one side. Perhaps you need used greeting cards for personal projects. (Let natureinfo.blogspot.com know, and we readers can save and send them to you.) The University of Minnesota's Raptor Center http://www.raptor.cvm.umn.edu/ needs used ink cartridges for recycling to raise money for raptor rehab. (Go to "Make a Donation," then "Recycling for Raptors.") So does the "Cash for Critters" program at the MN Humane Society (call 651-665-9311 for more info. or e-mail questions to email@example.com), and again, the Dodge Nature Center. Also, Cartridge World of Eagan, 651-454-4453, sells refilled ink cartridges at a discount price. Don't forget you can use the water from your dehumidifier to water your plants and yard! Recycle spent rechargeable batteries (4/11/07 comment). C'mon, people, spread the word! Help each other, and our environment.

DALLAS (AP) For seventh and eighth graders who haven't had much luck in the traditional school setting, the Dallas school district has come up with an alternative: night school.
Under one of the district's newest efforts to catch potential dropouts, about 220 middle-schoolers start their school days as most of their peers are going home.
The idea behind New Beginnings is to put struggling students back on grade level by offering more attention, a self-paced curriculum and an environment in which they don't feel out of place.
Officials say the later school hours from 4 to 8 p.m. help combat truancy.
"This gives them a chance to catch back up," said Dr. H.B. Bell, associate superintendent of alternative programs for the Dallas Independent School District. "It's creating options for youngsters. The regular model does not fit them all, and you cannot write them off."
DISD officials say the program is another tool to confront the dropout problem.
About half of DISD eighth-graders during the 1995-96 school year graduated four years later. District officials said about one-third of ninth-graders never graduate.
Other measures to combat the problem include home visits, truancy intervention efforts, centers for at-risk high school students, a new mentoring and tutoring program and a dropout hot line.
With New Beginnings, night classes are conducted at seven middle schools. Each campus has a staff of at least four teachers, a counselor, volunteer mentors and an administrator, usually a DISD principal or assistant principal.
Students are referred to the program by principals and teachers. Those completing the curriculum graduate to their regular high school or to one of the district's reconnection centers for at-risk high school students.
On Monday through Thursday nights, students do coursework on computers or from textbooks. On Fridays, some campuses involve students in community service projects.
DISD officials said they don't have enough data to completely evaluate the effort, but many students have been helped back up to grade level.

Haunted Canada Coin Series: A Ghostly Affair
The Royal Canadian Mint has recently released the first coin in the Haunted Canada Coin Series, a coin series that aims to bring to life some of Canada's legendary ghost stories. Coin collectors, who are interested in ghost stories and tragic love stories, should find this new coin series intriguing to say the least.
Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel (Photo Source: 10 Haunted Ski Towns)
The first coin in the series, the 2014 25-Cent Cupronickel Coin – Haunted Canada: Ghost Bride, features a portrait of a bride with her eyes closed. Tilt the coin and her eyes open and the once black background is filled with lit candles. This while an image of the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel can be seen below the bride, the 6th most haunted hotel in the world according to some sources. The very same hotel that was built in 1888, located in the picturesque town of Banff, Alberta, the heart of Banff National Park. The luxury mountain getaway is legendary for its hospitality and attracts travellers, nature lovers and members of high society year-round. This is the perfect venue for the first ghost story in the Haunted Canada Coin Series. Legend has it that a ghost bride is doing the rounds there since a fatal accident in the 1930s… when she stumbled and fell to her death down a curving stone staircase in the hotel. This happened shortly before the start of the wedding banquet. Stories have circulated for years now "about an apparition in a white wedding dress that moves quietly up and down the aforementioned staircase in the hotel." There are some that even claim to have seen the bride dancing alone, the very same bride that was denied a first dance with her husband.
So why should you buy this coin besides the story that is attached to it?
It is the first edition in a promising coin series and limited to only 15,000 coins. It is encapsulated and comes in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with a black beauty box. Be sure to get more information here.

Hotel Can Cera was once a family home - a traditional Mallorcan palacio, which the owners converted into a boutique hotel of considerable charm and interest. I'd dined here once, so I was very pleased to have the chance to stay over for the night of my birthday, after dinner out in Mallorca's capital.
We arrived to a very warm welcome from Carlos, on reception, who is probably the most charming and welcoming member of reception staff I've met; having, in the past, worked in hotel PR, I have met a LOT of receptionists. Carlos is a real asset to this hotel.
We'd booked a deluxe room but were upgraded to a junior suite (room 4), which was a lovely surprise. Carlos took us to the room, after giving us a brief tour of the facilities - which include several rooms decorated with antiques and old paintings, where you can sit on a sofa and lose yourself in one of the many interesting books around the place. There's also a small spa and guests can have private use of this for one hour. Sadly, we didn't get around to doing so, but will be sure to take advantage of this next time we stay. There's also a small roof terrace, equipped with deck chairs, where you can gaze out over the rooftops of the Old Town.
Our room was very peaceful and spacious, with an enormous and extremely comfortable bed. We appreciated the free room safe (large enough for a laptop), and minibar containing free bottles of water. Sisal matting on the floor was kinder on the tootsies than the bare tiles often found in Spanish hotels, although the usual hotel flip-flop-type slippers were provided, along with bathrobes.
Our bathroom was the hotel's largest, with a decent-sized bath, and two separate cubicles within it for the shower, and loo and bidet. These cubicles both have clear glass doors, which might not appeal to the shy guest whose partner is using the bathroom at the same time! I liked the French Damana toiletries provided. Heated towel rail appreciated too.
One of the highlights of this small hotel is its excellent location, a short walk away from the city's magnificent Gothic cathedral, and the main shopping area. It's worth turning right out of the hotel door during your visit to explore the narrow lanes of the fascinating Old Town.
For breakfast, we had planned to have coffee and pastries in one of the city's many cafes, but because the hotel had been kind enough to upgrade us - and given that we had eaten out the previous night - we decided to have breakfast at the hotel. The choice was reasonable and of good quality, but breakfast here is - I feel - a little expensive, compared to what can be found elsewhere in the city.
The hotel has free Wi-Fi, although we didn't use it.
I'm looking forward to staying here again - and trying the new sister hotel (also a conversion of a beautiful old Mallorcan palacio, but with a sea view) when it opens next spring.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- At over 700 years old, Can Cera has one of the longest histories in Palma. The building dates back to before 1232 when Jaume I conquered the island with Catalan and Aragonese troops. Located inside the ancient city walls close to the Cathedral, Can Cera is in the very heart of the Old City, between the Plaza de Santa Eulalia and the Plaza de San Francisco. Over the years, Can Cera's many owners have made alterations to the original building. The most important of these were done in the 17th Century, when –as in many of the surrounding houses– Italian Renaissance architects inspired the creation of the celebrated patios, giving the houses their singularly attractive, yet austere, character. Inside, the house is significant and rich with well-proportioned rooms, high ceilings of sculptured plasterwork, balconies and above all, palatial adornments. Today, Can Cera, has been thoroughly renovated and equipped as a first class Hotel. The traditional Majorcan patio, with its majestic arches, exuberant Kentia and other lush plants, leads to the Reception area and the Can Cera Restaurant. A marble stairway leads up to a surprising space: a comfortable and welcoming Home with its original layout intact. Period furniture and contemporary paintings abound. ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Mirai, Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com, Priceline, Travelocity, Orbitz, HotelQuickly, Evoline ltd, TripOnline SA and Cancelon so you can book your Boutique Hotel Can Cera reservations with confidence. We help millions of travelers each month to find the perfect hotel for both vacation and business trips, always with the best discounts and special offers.

CuriousI am new to this site, and I'm loving it. About a month ago I was on my way home from work and I REALLY needed to pee. By the time I got home and made it into the bathroom, I was already dribbling a little in my pants, and I was surprised at how great it felt. Ever since that...

Summer Time, And The Livin' Is Good.This is something I'm looking forward to doing in the summer, with or without my boyfriend around. It's February now and there is lots of snow so it's way too freezing for this. I want to wear a skirt, probably short or mid length, and pee on the bus. I also want to try a movie...

He was named the tournament's Best Pitcher. He finished third in the event with 17 strikeouts, trailing only phenoms Stephen Strasburg and Yuki Saito.
Hardy was picked by the San Diego Padres in the 43rd round of the 2010 amateur draft; the scout was long-time Canadian scout Murray Zuk. He bounced between four levels that summer, with appearances for the AZL Padres (3-2, 3.06, 31 K in 32 1/3 IP), Lake Elsinore Storm (3 R in 4 2/3 IP), Eugene Emeralds (2-1, 3.00, 28 K in 27 IP) and San Antonio Missions (0-1, 5.23).

He was also 2 for 2 at the plate. He lost MWL All-Star honors as the top lefty starter to C.J. Riefenhauser. He made Team Canada for the 2011 Baseball World Cup and 2011 Pan American Games, joining fellow 2010 Padres draftee Chris Bisson (a much higher pick, going in the 4th round).
In his first appearance of the 2011 World Cup, he started against Greece. He allowed two hits, three walks and two runs (both on Jason Zachos double) before being relieved by Jay Johnson; Canada won handily.

4500 Grove Avenue, Lorain, OH 44055
Distance: 900 miles roundtrip
Estimated Duration: 9 days
One of the best ways to experience the Great Lakes region is to drive around one! From our location near Cleveland, OH, travelers can circumnavigate Lake Erie in an RV, visiting many states and passing through Canada on their journey.
Travelers performing the Lake Erie Circle Tour start from Cleveland and head east along the southern shores of Lake Erie. The first item on their vacation agenda is enjoying the wineries along the route in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York on their way to Niagara Falls.
Once reaching Niagara Falls, travelers can spend days exploring everything there is to do around this natural wonder. The falls themselves are the main attraction; visitors can experience Niagara Falls via boat tours that venture right up to the cascades, a Journey Behind The Falls tour, and a number of observation towers with impressive panoramic views. Every night the falls are illuminated and, depending on the season, a fireworks show occurs in the sky above. The area around Niagara Falls is a destination unto itself, with casinos, museums, theaters and fine dining available for entertainment. Accommodations for RV camping are plentiful and conveniently located close to the falls.
From Niagara Falls, travelers head into Canada and follow the Niagara Parkway that hugs the shores of Lake Erie. They'll pass beautiful historical sites like Old Fort Erie, quaint beach communities, and Port Colborne, which is home of the still-operating Welland Canal that empties into Lake Erie. (NOTE: If you are planning to follow the Niagara Parkway and Lakeshore Road, you will need to divert around a rail bridge that is too low for RVs to pass under then rejoin Niagara Boulevard past the bridge.)
The destination for the night is Long Point Provincial Park, a beautiful beach and campground located on a sandy spit of land that reaches out into the lake. The park is one of the largest migratory staging areas in North America and therefore great for birdwatching. RVs are welcome with electricity available at each site, and the park also offers filling and dumping stations and separate facilities with hot and cold water, toilets, showers and laundry facilities.
Travelers continue along the northern coast of Lake Erie in Canada, choosing either the 401 for a quick route or staying on local roads close to the water that pass through many small, charming towns. The next destination is Point Pelee National Park, located almost directly north across the lake from Cleveland. Point Pelee is the southernmost point of mainland Canada and is located on another peninsula that juts out into Lake Erie. RV travelers can stay right outside the park entrance at Sturgeon Woods Campground.
The route next crosses back into the U.S. via the Detroit-Windsor Ambassador Bridge and follows I-75 south in Michigan towards the Ohio border. On their way, travelers shouldn't miss The Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village in Dearborn, MI. From their, Maumee Bay State Park near Toledo, OH and Marblehead Lighthouse are popular attractions, as well as Kelley's Island State Park or Put-In-Bay State Park, which are both reachable by ferry and accommodate overnight RV camping.
The final stop on the Lake Erie Circle Tour is definitely the most fun: Cedar Point Amusement Park in Sandusky, OH. The amusement park overlooks Lake Erie and is world famous for its large collection of record-breaking roller coasters. Cedar Point also includes a water park, adventure park and dedicated areas for kids. The park even has a campground with full hook-up sites for RVs, so if you can't fit everything into one day, stay the night and try again the next before finishing your Lake Erie Circle Tour back at Neff Bros RV.
The Lake Erie Circle Tour package is all-inclusive and covers roundtrip mileage, rental nights and generator use. The package also includes early pick-up times and late drop-offs, transportation from and to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, RV insurance, permission for additional drivers, post-cleaning (interior, exterior and holding tanks), and final fuel and propane refills. An international license and passport are required for international travelers.
Estimated pricing begins at $2,700 and varies depending on trip duration, party size and options. Destinations are suggestions only and reservations are your own responsibility. Email email@example.com or call 440-282-5600 for a custom estimate.

The history of the Digital Book begins in the mid '80s when the poet and writer
Zahur Klemath Zapata
had a vision of a book opened before him, on the screen of a computer which he had not yet even purchased.
maintains that this mental picture clarified to him one of the maxims of Albert Einstein which says that imagination is more important than knowledge. At this time Zahur knew little about computers, less about the programs which are their nervous system, and less still of the intrinsic complexity of their design.
Ten years later [1995 ],
would bring to market the first digital books at 'The Eighth International Book Fair' in Bogotá, Colombia. The first title published in the digital book format was 'Murder as One of the Fine Arts'. This was soon followed by books from popular authors such as Kafka, Faust, Goethe and Cervantes.
As is expected when a new products is born that has significant market expectation, large industrial companions throughout the world express interest, and pulse their machinations, till a new market is created. Soon a tide is born, and digital books become widely available. The largest companies in their respective fields lead the parade to the international level in trying to dominate this nascent market. So this digital book is continuously elevated in exposure by the software companies which market the programs enabling the reading of a book on a computer screen. Appropriately, such programs are called 'readers'. However, these Goliaths of the software industry are soon to be slain by a David: interestingly, by the same man [
] who founded the digital book concept some two decades earlier. With his latest Digital book tm version 3.0, a new strength and flexibility has been released in the market.
In the years lapsed from 1995 to present,
has orchestrated a group of programs from the United States, Colombia and Pakistan creating three programs superior to any before them. These three Programs:
TM, DigitalBook Publisher TM, and Digital Book TM Reader will offer the user the greatest flexibility in designing and reading digital books.
Features will include the turning of pages in the same screen, full color images, sound, and the ability to print pages with the layout conceived by the user. So we are at the doorway to a revolution. Publishing, bookselling, even the ubiquitous public library; these will never again be as in times past. Indeed we are moving toward becoming a paperless society, PAPER IS HISTORY

A Mid Winters Dream
Summary: One-Shot: Sanosuke and Megumi have always fought, argued, and teased each other. Secretly, though, they love one another. So, can one day in winter make them stop fighting, and start to show their feelings?
Megumi Takani woke up, feeling very cold. She shivered a bit, and rubbed her red nose. Climbing out of her covers, she felt like she needed a nice cup of hot tea. She changed into her warm winter clothes, and brushed her hair.
She went into her kitchen, and put on some water. She rubbed her hands together, and did not dare to look outside. Winter was the worst season for her. She seemed to get sick, and stuffy. She took the water off, and made herself a nice, hot, cup of tea.
"The only warm thing in this house." She said. She sipped her tea, and sat down. Megumi was starting to warm up, but when she ran out of tea, and/or couldn't drink anymore, she became cold again.
"I hate winter…" She muttered.
Sanosuke Sagara woke up, and felt cold. But he didn't have the same reaction as Megumi, above, did. He threw off his covers, dressed up in heavy clothing, and went outside. He absolutely loved winter. He may get sick, but that was the price to pay, when you love snow like he did.
Sano stomped around in the new snow. He loved the sounds it made. He loved everything about winter. The crunchy sounds, the coldness of the air, and best of all…making Megumi mad, and flustered.
"That's the best part!" He said to himself. He breathed in the cold thick air, and marched off.
Megumi shielded her eyes. White… white all around. She was glad she had boots on. She remembered last year, she had stepped into the snow with just her sandals on. That was a horrible experience, and she wished not to redo it again.
She looked at her porch. Covered with snow. She sighed and took her broom, and started to sweep. Her porch was also icy, and she had to scrap it off. Luckily it was her day off, so she didn't have to putthis off.
Sanosuke came to the edge of Megumi's yard. She was busy chipping away ice, and snow. He knew this would be the perfect moment to start the winter madness. He scooped up some snow, and aimed it to the wall right beside her.
Megumi was almost done scrapping, when the snowball hit the wall right near her head.
She could just see Sanosuke's smirking face. She gripped her broom tightly, and slowly turned around.
"Happy Winter!" Sanosuke called. Megumi glared at him.
"You know I could call the police for harassing me, tori-atama!" Megumi hissed. Sanosuke came into her yard.
"You know that you can't do that, megitsune! Look at my sweet face!" Sano exclaimed. Megumi smiled.
"Sweet face? I'd call it sweet, if it wasn't so ugly." She said with a laugh. Sanosuke quickly threw another snowball. Megumi reflected it with her broom. She glared at him.
"You want a war?" She asked. Sanosuke smirked.
"Come and get me!"
"I will forever hate you, Sanosuke." Megumi said. She was cold, wet, and it was now dark. They had an all-out war that lasted the whole day. It started to snow, and Megumi then noticed what time it was, and how hungry she was.
"You have to admit. It was fun." Sanosuke said. He was also wet, and cold. Megumi rubbed her hands, and looked up to him.
"Since you're here, help me make something to eat." She ordered.
After they warmed up, and Megumi got them some robes to wear, and braided her hair back, they headed out to the kitchen. (A/N: She has a robe for herself, and a guy robe because of her patients)
"My legs are cold…" Sanosuke said, as he cut more vegetables. Megumi looked down, and laughed. Since he was so tall, the robe went up right below his knees. Sanosuke blushed, and shifted a little. Megumi went back to what she was doing, with a smile on her face.
They made a nice little dinner, and sat down, with hot tea to go with it.
"I hope you catch a cold." Megumi teased as she sipped at her tea.
"Then you'll have to be with me all day." Sanosuke countered. Megumi stopped smiling.
"Then I hope you'll be as healthy as a horse." She said. Sanosuke smirked as he ate his soup. Megumi set her tea down, and tried some soup. She didn't feel good at all. Sanosuke, she figured, would go home healthy, and she'd be sick. That didn't sound to good for her schedule.
"Are you okay?" Sanosuke asked. Megumi waved her hand.
"It's nothing." She said, but her voice cracked, and he thought different.
"Maybe you shouldn't have been outside." Sanosuke said. Megumi glared at him, becoming angry.
"Maybe you shouldn't have thrown snow at me!" She countered. Sanosuke finished his tea.
Megumi rubbed her nose, and felt her forehead. It was getting hot, but she rubbed her arms because they were very cold.
"Oh I feel bad…and I blame you!" Megumi yelled.
"Well, you could have rejected my war offer!" Sanosuke yelled back.
"You didn't have to sneak up on me!" Megumi said, her voice cracking again. Sanosuke jumped up, and was about to leave, but Megumi jumped up, wobbiling a little.
"Don't leave!" Megumi yelled.
"Why not?" He asked.
"Because…" Megumi said. She felt dizzy standing, and plopped herself on the floor. She was really burning up. Sanosuke took a good look at her, and could tell she wasn't fibbing when she said she felt bad. He turned around, and held out his hand.
"Come on. I'll take you to your room."
Megumi lay in her futon, five minutes later, and Sanosuke was getting her a wet cloth to put on her head.
She felt like she was floating, the fever was really getting to her. She soon found out she couldn't control her body right now, so she was an emotional time bomb. She may not make any sense, and could pour info that no one needed to hear, without really knowing she did.
Sanosuke came back with a wet cloth. He watched Megumi for a second, and couldn't stop it. She may have been sick a little, but she looked so beautiful to him. Shaking the thought away, he walked over, and set the wet cloth on her head. Megumi looked up at him, and he sat down. She looked tired, and she seemed to still be angry with him.
"Why did you do it?" She asked.
"Do what?" He asked.
"Slap him? He was such a nice man!" Megumi said angrily.
Sanosuke's eyebrow went up. First off he didn't know whom she was talking about, and secondly he didn't slap anyone.
"Um Megumi? I didn't d-"
"I know you didn't. Don't mind me…I feel weird. Poor Mark…" Megumi said. Sanosuke just nodded, and there was a moment of silence.
"Why did you save me that one time?" Megumi asked. Sanosuke could tell she was being serious, and was her regular self. "I never asked you." She added.
"When? With Kanryu?" Sanosuke asked. Megumi nodded. Sanosuke shrugged.
"I guess… I don't really know." Sanosuke answered.
"But you see… I thought I killed your friend…" Megumi said. Sanosuke shifted a little.
"No you didn't…you were forced to make it…" Sanosuke said. But this didn't cheer Megumi up any. She actually started to cry.
"Why are you crying?" He asked. Megumi sat up, making the cloth fall, and wiped the tears away. She shook her head.
"I don't know, but it saddens me a lot…" She said. "It reminds me of my family…even though they may not be dead." Megumi said. She looked up to him.
"I thought I hurt you real bad, even though I explained myself." She lowered her head. "And I still think you're mad, and just like to mess with me." Megumi added. Sanosuke shook his head.
"No I'm not angry! I was saddened, and angered, by my friend's death, and wanted to blame it all on you. But then Kenshin figured out that letter you gave to us, and decided he was going to go stop you. I wasn't going to go, but he made me realize that there was something wrong with the picture." Sanosuke said. Megumi still had her head lowered, but she was thinking about what he just said.
"I still blame myself…if only-"
"In my opinion, 'if' doesn't get anyone anywhere." Sanosuke interrupted. Megumi looked up. Tears threatened to fall. She still blamed herself. Sanosuke felt her head. Her fever had died down, and she looked okay. Everything was okay, except the fact that she wouldn't stop crying.
"Don't cry over this, Megumi." Sanosuke said. "It's over with."
"I just can't think of anything else… I don't know why, but I feel weird about being in a room, now, with you…" Megumi said. She felt her forehead. She felt okay, and she hadn't misplaced anything. Why'd she feel weird all the sudden?
"Then maybe I should just leave." Sanosuke concluded, and attempted to get up. Megumi, though, stopped him, by grabbing his robe.
"Please don't leave!" She begged. Sanosuke sat back down. She felt a moment of comfort, before feeling uncomfortable again. If she was going to feel right, then she has to let her secret out.
"In all honesty, can we be honest with each other?" Megumi asked. Sanosuke, apparently confused, just nodded.
Megumi took a deep breath. Her heartbeat went up, and she suddenly got nervous. She let the breath out, and Sanosuke just watched her.
"I-if I tell you this, you won't freak out, and leave will you?" She asked. Sanosuke nodded again, and closed her eyes, and let it all out.
"I don't know if you feel like this, but I've fallen for you, and that's why I feel uncomfortable, and want youto leave, so my comfort will come back, but I want you to stay, and be around, because I love your presence." Megumi said, quickly. She didn't open her eyes, and could have sworn she heard the door shutting. She opened her eyes, slowly,to see Sanosuke still sitting there, with a stunned look on his face.
'Wow…that was…yeah…' He thought. He couldn't think of anything to say, and began to worry. If he didn't say anything soon, then she'd get the wrong idea about his feelings, but how was he supposed to say it? Hers was a long sentence…or two…and he was sure he could say it in a sentence, but couldn't word it.
"I…feel…loved…" was all he could figure. Megumi gave him an odd look, and he shook his head.
"I mean…I do…feel that way…I mean…" He stumbled with the words.
There was an odd, uncomfortable silence, and Megumi shifted a little.
"Did you just say, 'I also feel that way'?" She asked.
"That…about sums it up…I think…" Sanosuke said. He thought for a moment, and then felt arms wrap around him. He looked down to see Megumi hugging him.
"This has to be the oddest visit, I've ever made." Sano said, as he wrapped his arms around her. Megumi smiled, and nodded.
"And you're not even sick! But now I feel… comfortable…weird, huh? How love could work in the strangest ways." She said. Sanosuke just nodded. Something had just popped into his mind.
"Now, who's Mark?"

Eddie Hearn optimistic about Anthony Joshua-Wladimir Klitschko showdown
Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn is confident a blockbuster clash between Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko can take place before the end of the year.
Joshua is currently pencilled in for a mandatory defence of his IBF heavyweight belt on November 26 while Klitschko is looking for an opponent after his rematch with Tyson Fury, scheduled for later this month, was cancelled for a second time owing to the Briton being "medically unfit".
The fight could also be for the WBA and WBO belt if Fury is stripped of them and Hearn says both fighters want the bout to go ahead.
Anthony Joshua could be primed for a fight against Wladimir Klitschko
"I am hopeful, both guys have it in their mind that that is going to be the next fight," he told Press Association Sport.
" There are plenty of hurdles to overcome still and day by day we are ticking each of them off and I think there is a real expectancy from all sides now that that will be the next fight.
"Can we push that back to December? I'd like a little bit more time, that's a possibility as well. Wladimir Klitschko against Joshua is the most likely scenario.
"There are less lucrative ones Klitschko could take, some easier ones definitely. Klitschko has been training for 12 months, he has got the bit between his teeth and he wants to fight.
"The Joshua fight is probably the biggest out there in the division right now and it is a great fight - a young lion coming through against the master.
"Is it too early for Anthony Joshua? Maybe, but isn't that what makes it exciting? Anthony is ready for the fight and wants the fight.
"Wladimir wants the fight and all being well we can overcome the inevitable hurdles that come with a magnitude of this fight."

The Politics of Broadband
Today on Radio New Zealand National I talked about why the two main parties are falling over each other to offer to buy us all decent broadband. Read on for my notes and links or listen to the podcast.
Q: First of all – what do we mean by broadband?
A: Not a straightforward definition I'm afraid – it's like asking "how much money is enough?" – you will get a different answer form just about everyone. But really what we mean by a home broadband connection is one which is faster than dial-up, that's on all the time you have your computer on, and that doesn't interfere with your phone line.
Q: How does broadband work?
A: There are lots of technologies, but easily the most common one is called DSL – digital subscriber line – which is a way of layering a broadband connection onto the same pair of copper wires that carries your telephone calls. And DSL is what techies types like me call a kludge – it's a way of forcing something to do a thing it wasn't designed for. In this case, by using DSL, we are forcing a pair of copper wires, deigned to deliver a voice grade analogue circuit to your house, into carrying quite a bit of digital data while still brining a voice grade analogue circuit to your house.
Q: Remind me about analogue and digital again?
A: Digital is when something is on or off. Black or white. One or Zero. Unambiguous. Computers deal with digital information, streams of ones and zeros. The Internet is a network that ships digital information around the word. Analogue, by contrast, is smoothly varying, shades of grey, could be any number not just one of zero. Our voices travel through the air as analogue vibrations, and that's how the microphones pick them up and how the radio transmitter sends them out. Analogue is the world we inhabit, what we hear and see. Digital is the world of computers and the Internet. You can convert between the two.
Anyway, a DSL line, which is what most home broadband users have, is a way to pack a lot of digital data onto a voice circuit while still keeping it useful as a phone line.
Q: How does it do that?
A: Well, there's some clever technology as you'd imagine! The copper wire pair is well good enough to send a voice signal to your home, unless you are absolutely miles from the exchange, that is. Voice circuits use only the frequencies up to a few kilohertz, so DSL uses frequencies that are higher. It packs all this digital data by modulating a lot of higher frequencies on the wire – sounds that are too high for us to hear. Dogs might be able to hear them perhaps, except we generally put a filter in when a DSL modem is installed to make sure that these high frequencies never get to people's phones. And the data is modulated onto these tones using a mix of amplitude and frequency modulation techniques, a bit like radio transmitters use. The result is that, over short runs, the most odern versions of DSL technology are getting up towards 50Mbps, and most suburban lines can manage several megabits.
Q: You said that was the most common technology – are there alternatives?
A: Yes. There's cable Internet available to houses with TV cables supplied by TelstraClear. That uses a different technology running on a dedicated piece of cable. But only some households in New Zealand have access to that. And there's several different wireless technologies out there- Woosh Wireless and Wired Country are perhaps the most well-know operators of these. And not to forget the Pacific.Net in Nelson region who also provide domestic Internet service using wireless.
But all these services pale into insignificance compared with the ultimate – optic fibre.
Q: That's what the parties are promising to roll out. What more do you get from fibre that you don't get from other broadband?
A: Fibre is awesomely faster than copper. It's tailor made for squirting a huge amount of digital data down.
Q: So it's just like DSL but faster?
A: Yes, that's really all it is – but it's so very much faster than copper or wireless that it's a complete game changer.
Q: How much faster?
A: Three orders of magnitude at least. Perhaps five or six orders if you push it – that means anything from thousands of times faster to millions of times faster. You are comparing a tortoise, not to a hare but to a Concorde. And when we are talking increased speed, we mean that in any given period of time – a second, say – you can move a lot more information through the fibre than through a wire.
Q: Why does that matter?
A: Because it makes the scarcity go away. We've always behaved as though it costs money to push bits through wires. Telcos have encouraged that by charging us for each bit we move through our Internet connections. Now, the big news is: it doesn't cost money to push bits through wires or fibres. It costs money to lay those wires and fibres, and it costs no more to lay fibre than wire.
Q: But the companies who lay this fibre need to make a return.
A: Of course they do! But you'd have to say the return on the copper to all our houses was made years ago. It was built with public money of course, back in the old Post Office days, and until the announcements about 'cabinetisation' that Telecom made last year it's been substantially unimproved since then. Internally in Telecom they describe the copper wire as a 'sweated asset' – meaning they have got value and more from it and it's time for a replacement. That's where the various ideas for a fibre fund come in.
Now, this isn't just the usual suspects saying that we need fibre to the home. The New Zealand Institute, which is an economic think tank, is running a whole series of articles saying that New Zealand needs fibre to the home on economic grounds, and that there's a case for public investment to
Q: Is that what the National Party are promising to spend one and half billion on?
A: Yes, and there are about one and a half million households in New Zealand – so that number amounts to about one thousand dollars per household. The telcos will tell you that there's no return on that money, but in places where it's been done overseas they have found that there is a return.
Q: How does that work? Do we all have to pay more?
A: Imagine how much most of us pay for our phone rental, our broadband and our cable TV or Sky TV, all lumped together – that's a reasonable penny and most of it goes on feeding what are close to monopoly suppliers. If we put that kind of money into a fibre connection to our homes we could get a fantastically faster connection and have all those services delivered across it as part of the benefits.
Q: Don't you wind up with just another monopoly – the fibre owner – which can charge what it likes?
A: That's what the government said about National's $1.5 billion plan. And it would be very bad in the long run just to throw public money at a monopoly, or something that could become a monopoly. To be fair to the Nats, they said that wasn't what was intended, and we haven't seen exactly how they would apply these public funds to prevent that. We know the government is likely to announce something in the budget next week, and having gone to all the effort of forcing Telecom to give up a lot of its monopolistic practices, they are hardly likely to throw money at it directly.
But this is quite a hard public policy problem. About 6-7 years ago the government ran a project called Probe which got broadband into schools and communities. It threw some public money in and went to some considerable lengths to be neutral about which companies wound up getting the tenders to supply the broadband. It's fashionable to bash Probe in the press, like most government initiatives, but it did actually deliver everything it said it would – broadband to all schools – and it did so within the money it was allocated.
Spending public money on getting broadband out there is going to involve running a bigger version of Probe again, and whatever happens you can be sure that it will attract its share of detractors – from people who miss out on tenders, from political enemies, and just from plain luddites. But it's really important for New Zealand that something be done. So, when this project does get going and the criticism does start flying, just lets all keep a clear head and ask ourselves whether people are doing a reasonable job and whether the criticism is justified.
Q: New Zealand's isn't the only government making this an election issue.
A: No, the Australian Labor Party made this an election issue over there, and won handsomely of course. And we are beginning to see similar comments being in the USA in the run up to their election.
Q: What benefits will we see from fibre?
A: As I said, you can do all your information needs down a single fibre – TV and the works. But the real point is – just imagine back to the early days of broadband. What new stuff does broadband do for me, people said? But with more a more people having broadband, better and better services become available. Youtube and live radio streaming are impossible with broadband. [Oops: of course, I wrote the opposite of what I meant there. The sharp- eyes of Peter Lynch picked it up] Online banking and air ticket purchase probably wouldn't be happening if most people didn't have broadband, neither would Trademe. They wouldn't even have been thought of. So how much new stuff will we get that nobody's thought of yet when we all have something much faster?

…and it feels so weird.
i missed my high school reunions. i missed old work reunions. in short, i have missed pretty much any opportunity to reunite with people i've known throughout the years. you should know this is not because i am an anti-social person; the dates or times simply didn't work for me. (well, most of them didn't. i didn't attend my five year high school reunion because i didn't feel ready to face most of the people who'd be there. i needed more time and space between us.) besides: most of the people i truly enjoyed, i probably already kept in touch with, i thought (erroneously, as it would turn out.)
about six months ago, my old friend phil started up a facebook page for people who were alums of our new jersey USY region. it was like a compulsive disease for me: i'd check back every day to see whether new old friends were signing on. and every time i'd find one, i'd friend the person and we'd have a mini-reunion. apparently, i wasn't alone; for pretty soon, phil was helping to organize a real live reunion of folks.
which brings me to last saturday. i was nervous about attending a reunion. after all, after two babies and some pretty heavy duty illnesses and medications, i am no longer looking as i did when i was 17.
wreke at hagalil encampment, 1982?
wise old middlebro, veteran of many reunions (remember the old part? the dude has three years on me.), pretty much quelled my fears. wreke, he said, everyone at reunions is older, fatter, and balder. don't stress.
so i attempted to chill.
of course, then my old buddy wah began to stress, which meant i began to stress. we figured we'd drive up together; then we wondered whether we ought to go at all. after i volunteered to provide the evening's soundtrack, i really knew i couldn't back out. and wah probably knew she didn't want to back out, either (right, wah?) besides, it would be my first weekend away from my husband and my kids. EVER. so it wasn't sitting by a pool in some exotic location; i needed a break.
so wreke and wah had our excellent adventure. in nj.
after the most peaceful ride to NJ ever (no one needing a bathroom break, no one fighting over mp3 players, no one having to throw up — is traveling without kids always this calm?), a ride including some great music on XM thanks to old DJs i haven't heard since i was young (pat st. john playing deep tracks! wheeeee!), wah dropped me at my folks' house and then went up to her parents' house. i had a wonderful friday and saturday with my parents, shopping, going to lunch as an early birthday present, and just being my parents' child for a day instead of being someone's mom.
my friend A picked me up for the reunion. (A is smart. she knew my parents would love to talk to her — they always love talking to my friends — and so she built in an extra 15 minutes so that she could chat. all my old USY friends like to talk to my parents. i always had to drag people AWAY from my parents. hello? you're here to see ME!) anyway, we went to our friend D's house, where we had some yummy things to eat and drink and just had a great time. another dear friend, leifer, came over. (those of you still traumatized by my blatantly bad 70s music month may remember my friend leifer. perhaps not fondly.) i probably would have been pretty damn content to stay in D's kitchen and just laugh and laugh and laugh. i realized then how wrong i had been about thinking that i was in touch with everyone i needed to be in touch with. how i've missed D! (yes, leifer, i always miss you, too. i just haven't lost touch with you, have i?)
anyway, i knew i had music to deliver. so off i went.
many of you out in wreke-land know i am a little particular about music. i like what i like. i'm open-minded, but i am also a bit, er, what's the word — snobby? trying to capture evocative music for a crowd that was in high school anywhere from roughly 1977 through 1994 was a little challenging, especially since i was limited to about four hours, and extra especially because there were only a few of my friends in USY (or high school, for that matter) who were listening to the music i listened to at the time. (it wasn't until college at rutgers where i discovered others like me.) i'm sure there were those in the crowd who would clamor for michael jackson, for madonna, for debbie gibson.
for those of you, i'm sorry.
lucky for me, everyone was so busy yapping, i don't think anyone noticed any of the songs except when paradise by the dashboard light came on. (gah, i hate that song.) suddenly, people started singing. (and yet no one sang to the smiths. go figure.) ah well. the music must have been somewhat successful; no one complained about it.
about the interpersonal aspect of the evening: i fell back into high school mode, flitting around people but never, ever having the chance to have much of a conversation with anyone. in some cases, that was okay — we will still have facebook. but in other cases, i was truly bummed. it was simply so hard to focus on any one person because i was just so overwhelmed by everything. i never thought in my wildest dreams that i would see some of these people again. and in most cases, i am so blessed that i had the chance.
and even though there were a few people i really, really wish i could talk to more (and may never get the chance), i'm delighted that there are people, like my friend Boog, who i've now found again — and i'll never let her go. again.
so all in all, this reunion stuff is a mixed bag. yes, i literally saw people i haven't seen in years. yes, middlebro was right – a lot of us are fatter or balding, and sometimes, you'd rather remember people as they were rather than as they are now. but reunions seem to me to be just the tip of the iceberg. now i want to corral a smaller subset of friends and actually converse.
i just have to make it happen.
boog, wah, and wreke. together at last!
Support Indy Press! Wreke has a story in here!

Sky EHF Handball Opener – Director's Choice Sound
Client: dyrdee Media, Berlin
Composer: Frank Granholm
Sound Design & Mix: Thorsten Klasen
A mixture of synthesized sounds, layered samples and a classical four-part composition in D major creates the sonic backdrop of this neon-light themed animation for the on-air content of Sky.
There were two major challenges for coming up with the right sound design for this animation: on one hand the sound should create a sense of awareness for an upcoming sports event while on the other hand it should provoke a feeling of immersion, action and excitement.
As far as the sound effects layer is concerned, the beams of bright neon-light that ignite the dark set the stage which is reminiscent of a club scenery. The handball, with its glowing blue and purple aura even looks like a mirror ball. All the letters look shiny and glossy as well. At the end, when the whole scenery is revealed, the light beams also outline the form of a stadium which further underlines the concept of being at some sort of club or ballroom where there's a party going on.
So the sound had to resemble light beams and energy without sounding too technical and metallic like the usual Sci-Fi sound you can imagine. I used Xfer's Serum Wavetable Synthesizer to create the sound for the beams in the beginning and automated a lot of parameters to create the sense of spinning and movement towards the middle of the of room where they form a sphere. Lastly, I created some swooshes and swipes for the orbiting beams until the "ignite" the ball which is resembled by a bang before the music starts.
For the music I worked with a composer. The issue was to create a piece of meaningful music which suited the edits of the animation as well as emotional impact of the clip. So I sent him a clip and a few days later we met to optimize the timing and the arrangement to my likings. I was quite pleased with the final outcome. So were the good folks at dyrdee Media who commissioned and approved the sound design for this clip.

News about the Flu Vaccine for 2013 – 2014 Flu Season
Flu season this year came with a will to fight the most modern flu vaccine. Vaccines have been reported to have failed several people around the world. But the numbers are not enough to generally consider the vaccine to be ineffective. Health reports have shown that people who had the vaccine still experience flu symptoms. However, these symptoms disappeared before doctors can declare that the patient really had flu.
But another set of numbers show a different story. The overall efficacy rate of the flu vaccine is at 59%, based on the study conducted by the Center for Infectious Disease Research & Policy of the University of Minnesota. This means that the vaccine has a 41 percent failure rate. When we consider risks and probability, getting the flu shot today is just the same as keeping yourself healthy and getting enough sleep. In other words, you do not have to get the shot to protect yourself during flu season.
Another statistics shows the efficacy rate of the vaccine to be around 56 percent, except when the patient is 60 years old and above. This is based on actual people who took the vaccine before the 2012-2013 flu season. It seems that actual efficacy rate is lower than the theoretical one.
The Need to Improve the Flu Vaccine
The poor efficacy rate of this year's flu vaccine is a compelling reason to start reworking the approach into dealing with the influenza virus next year. One can easily reject it as a flu vaccine when you consider its failure rate and how it is not capable of stopping all strains of the virus. The CDC is now planning to have a four-component flu vaccine that is expected to stop 4 strains of the flu virus. These are H1N1, H3N2, the 2 strains of influenza A and influenza B.
These are the 4 predominant strains of the flu virus known today which will prevent any possible H1N1 and H3N2 scare. The H1N1 virus is the most popular strain since it is responsible for 4 historical flu outbreaks: the Spanish Flu, the Russian Flu, the outbreak in Fort Dix and the 2009 H1N1 pandemic. So the latest vaccine will be the most powerful one based on the number of flu viruses that it supposed to stop. Testing for the efficacy is much easier now. However, there is also the aspect of safety. This new vaccine is more potent which means it can also have far worse side-effects than the previous vaccine.
The efficacy of the flu vaccine is also dependent on the time period required for the antivirus to spread through the body. This is why CDC started administering the vaccine this month to give the antivirus 30 days time to circulate throughout the immune system of each American.
Flu Vaccine's Constant Wall
The only problem with the current plan is that it will have nothing for any new strains of the virus during 2013 – 2014's flu season. The CDC is hoping that there will no such occurrence but the possibility of the current strains of flu viruses to mutate is still there. And just like the past flu seasons, health officials are expecting mutant flu viruses that will have resistance to the latest vaccine.
For this year's flu season, the latest vaccine will receive its true and toughest test as more and more people take it in preparation for October, the month when flu season starts in North America. CDC is expecting the vaccine to be far more successful than the one used last year. Officials are hoping to have an increase in efficacy of at least 20% or an overall efficacy rate of 79%.
This is a very ambitious goal considering the factors that will affect the vaccine's efficacy. Virus mutation is the worst enemy since it can render the vaccine completely use on that strain of the flu virus.
The Issue with the Seniors
Another factor that can through a huge curve ball on the flu vaccine is the elderly. Last year's vaccine had a terrible efficacy rate on senior citizens, an embarrassing 27 percent. But against stronger strains of the virus, the efficacy rate drop further down to 9 percent. This also led to a significant number of flu related fatalities on this age group during last year's flu season.
However, health officials claim that the primary culprit is the significant decline of the body's immune system when it reaches 60 years old and above. The vaccine may be able to stop to virus from multiplying but it is unable to stop the flu symptoms which can trigger other illnesses.
The elderly should still take the flu vaccine since it is still considered the best defense against the dreaded influenza virus according to the health experts.
