Caorunn Gin bottle by Navyblue.
"'Small-batch Scottish Gin' Caorunn has cracked the super-premium gin market by exploiting the often-overlooked benefits that national identity can lend to new-to-world brands. Our work used cues within the single malt whisky category to extract what might be called 'Brand Scotland' (quality, craftsmanship, patience and balance) and so ground the brand. The familiar visual story helped Caorunn quickly resonate with its target audience. And hey presto: instant heritage for a new entrant into a highly competitive marketplace and Gold at the Gin Masters Awards at the end of 2009. Slainte." (Navyblue)

In love with these infograph posters all about cocktails. Making a menu out of these could be nice and visually attractive. Especially the single cocktail posters.

Are alcohol-free extracts as potent as alcohol-containing extracts?As the market stands right now, most alcohol-based extracts are much stronger than alcohol-free extracts. The fact is that most alcohol free extracts only contain a few active constituents and, as such, they are not a good value for the money.
Generally, herbs in liquid herbal extracts made with alcohol are stronger because they have more active constituents available to the user, and they have a longer shelf life as well. One study that I was involved in compared alcohol-free extracts of Goldenseal to alcohol-containing extracts of Goldenseal by measuring the levels of two major active alkaloids in each form of extract. The study verified that there was a direct correlation between the alcohol percentage and the level of alkaloids present. The results showed that the lower the percentage of alcohol equated lower levels of healing alkaloids in the extracts. In fact, the alcohol-free extracts tested were so low in potency that they were practically useless. According to the study's ratings, you would need ten bottles of an alcohol-free extract rated "Best" and up to 256 bottles of an alcohol-free extract rated "Worst" to equal one good bottle of alcohol-based extract.
Does this mean there are no potent alcohol-free extracts on the market then? No, the good news is that one manufacturer, Herbs, Etc., Inc., has found a way to produce strong alcohol-free extracts. Two main factors determine if an alcohol-free extract is potent: first, how are the active constituents of the herbs extracted, and second, is heat used in the alcohol-removing process. When it comes to making alcohol-free extracts, manufacturers are faced with the question of how to effectively extract the active constituents of herbs and make a potent alcohol-free extract at the same time. Most manufacturers, therefore, choose glycerin over alcohol in their extraction processes. The problem is that glycerin does not effectively extract the active constituents, as the study cited in the last question verifies. Capitalizing on these findings, Herbs, Etc., Inc. uses alcohol in the extraction of herbs for its alcohol-free extracts. A second problem arises if heat is used in the removal of alcohol to produce alcohol-free herbal extracts as heat destroys the active constituents. Herbs, Etc., Inc. has found a way around these two issues using alcohol, not glycerin, and then removing the alcohol by a vacuum extraction, (not hot) process.
A recent study conducted by a renowned Canadian university specializing in Echinacea analysis confirms the effectiveness of Herbs, Etc., Inc.'s manufacturing process. In the study, Echinacea angustifolia in several alcohol-free extracts were analyzed both for water-soluble constituents (caffeic acid derivatives) and alcohol-soluble constituents (isobutylamides). The results showed that the extract made by Herbs, Etc., Inc. was three to 20 times stronger than any other leading alcohol-free extracts.
A second finding indicated that this new alcohol-free extract had the same amounts per volume of water-soluble and alcohol-soluble constituents as the best alcohol-containing extract.

It's hardly surprising that the most dominant team of the spring was led by the most dominant athlete.
Milford pitcher Shannon Smith led the Scarlet Hawks to their second straight softball state championship, going 25-1 with a .045 ERA. And that's no slip of the decimal point, as the Kentucky-bound righthander allowed just two runs all year. Milford finished No. 1 in the final Globe Top 20, one of four final Top 20 rankings out Sunday, along with the final Top 10 for boys' volleyball.

Most of the custom modifications for Android devices are installed through recovery like ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) or Team Win Recovery Project Recovery (TWRP). Same apply to Samsung Galaxy S4. Therefore, here is the guide to install update zip with CWM. Yes, most of the mod files are in zip format (instead of tar which uses Odin software). For example, custom kernel, theme, boot animation, variety of mods and ROM are few of them. Oh, before I forget. DO remember to make a Galaxy S4 CWM Nandroid backup before install any custom stuffs. Or you might semi brick your Galaxy S4 and need to start over again with clean firmware. Therefore, a Nandroid backup will save your day (if anything bad happen)…

PhilZ Touch 5 Recovery is one of my favourite custom recoveries for Samsung Galaxy Series. Why? exFAT partition support on external SD card. Yes, that's the main reason that I always have PhilZ Touch CWM installed. And now it is on my Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 (PhilZ Touch CWM supports GT-I9505 too). PhilZ Touch is a CWM Advanced Edition that loaded with extra features compare to official ClockworkMod Recovery. As the name applies, it supports touch interface in addition to hardware keys. And it has Aroma File Manager built-in. Besides, it also has TWRP backup and restore support. Check out all the features below…

There are 2 famous custom recoveries out there ~ ClockworkMod and Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP). You won't be wrong by using either one of them on your Google Nexus 4. It is totally up to personal taste and usage. TWRP has a fully touch driven user interface (which better than CWM in my opinion). And the GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able.

How to load Google Nexus 7 recovery mode? I tried to boot into Nexus 7 stock recovery but failed. Only managed to load Nexus 7 Fastboot mode. Then it stuck at Google Logo when try to load recovery. Not a big deal because stock recovery can't do much stuff when compare to ClockworkMod (CWM) Touch Recovery and TWRP Recovery from TeamWin Recovery Project. I managed to root Nexus and install CWM Touch Recovery with Google Nexus 7 ToolKit's 1-click method. So how to load Nexus 7 recovery mode now?

The Dallas Cowboys continue their efforts to add depth across the defensive line by signing free agent tackle Marvin Austin, the team announced on Monday.
The 6-foot-2, 312-pound Austin was released by the Miami Dolphins less than a week ago after playing in two games and making one tackle for the team this season. He also played eight career games for the New York Giants, who originally selected him out of North Carolina in the second-round of the 2011 NFL Draft.
The Cowboys liked what they saw in Austin coming out of the draft, but since the team was operating under the 3-4 scheme at the time, he was not seen as a good fit on the defense.
"He's one of those guys we kept our eye on," Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said. "Obviously our situation on the defensive line we've had a lot of different injuries up there, so you look at the landscape of personnel and see you who can bring in and try to help your football team."
"He was playing with Miami just a couple of weeks ago. They released him. He's in pretty decent shape because he's been in training camp and been playing," Garret continued. "We'd like to tap into some of that ability that caused him to be such a high draft pick."
However, Austin has struggled to stay on the field so far during his career, first missing his rookie season due to torn pectoral muscle and playing just eight the following season while collecting five tackles, until his health issues led him getting released by the Giants in the final cuts this year. Austin also sat out senior year at North Carolina after being suspended from the Tar Heels for receiving improper benefits.
But the Cowboys have experienced a turbulent time up front ever since the offseason, with four-time Pro Bowl tackle Jay Ratliff never seeing the field this season and defensive end Antony Spencer ending up on the injured reserve after knee surgery. DeMarcus Ware also missed his first game this season after being ruled inactive against the Eagles last week with a short term injury.
During the first seven games this season, 14 different defensive lineman have suited up for the Cowboys. Currently the team carries 10 defensive linemen on their 53-man roster. Austin is the third defensive lineman off the streets to be added to that roster since Week 4. The Cowboys signed Drake Nevis on September 24 and added Jarius Wynn in Week 7, so that he was active for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. The team also promoted Jason Vega off the practice squad to make his NFL debut last week with Ware ailing.

Do not agree with previous review as to being too spicy. I used only one bottle of wine, all the spices and halved cooking time and they were DELICIOUS. (had to add u few tablespoons of water to make the sauce less sticky to be able to pour over the baked crust. Am thinking of using the figs to accompany duck breasts. Mmmm.
Black Mission Fig Tart
Jim Henkens; Karen Shinto
If your guests can't figure out where they've tasted something like this rich, deep, spicy tart before, just utter two simple words: Fig Newtons. You can prepare the figs through step 1 a day ahead; cover and chill figs and liquid until ready to use. You can make the dough (step 2) up to 3 days ahead and keep it wrapped and chilled.

- 1 pound dried black Mission figs
- 2 750-ml. bottles light- or medium-bodied dry red wine (such as Pinot Noir)
- 1 cup plus 3 tbsp. sugar, divided
- 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
- 5 black peppercorns
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 3 whole allspice
- 2 whole cloves
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups flour, plus more for rolling
- 3/4 cup very cold butter cut into small pieces, plus more for foil
- 8 ounces crème fraîche
- 1. Trim stems off figs. Cut figs into 1/8-in.-thick slices and put in a large bowl. Bring 6 cups of water to a boil and pour over figs. Let sit 10 minutes. Drain and put figs in a large pot over medium-high heat with wine, 1 cup sugar, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Bring to a boil. Meanwhile, tie up peppercorns, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves in a 6- by 6-in. piece of cheesecloth and add to pot. Lower heat to maintain a simmer and cook until figs are soft and liquid is reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 2 hours. Remove spices and discard. Stir in vanilla. Let figs and liquid cool to room temperature.
- 2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, stir together flour, remaining 3 tbsp. sugar, and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt. Drop in butter and work it into the flour mixture with your fingertips, a pastry blender, or a fork until it resembles coarse cornmeal with some pea-size chunks. Quickly stir in 2 tbsp. very cold water until dough starts to hold together (it will still be quite crumbly). Gently knead dough 2 or 3 times in bowl, then turn onto a large piece of plastic wrap, shape into a 6-in. disk, cover with wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour and up to 3 days.
- 3. Preheat oven to 350°. Place a 10-in. tart pan with a removable rim on a large baking sheet. Butter a large piece of foil. Unwrap dough and put on a floured surface. Roll dough into a 13-in. circle, turning 90° between each pass of the rolling pin to keep it from sticking. Transfer to the tart pan, allowing the dough to fall into place (if you push or stretch it, it will shrink back when baked). Trim edges 1/2 in. past rim of pan and fold down to double the thickness of the tart edge. Set foil, buttered side down, gently onto dough and top evenly with pie weights, dried beans, or rice. Bake 30 minutes. Remove weights and foil and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Let cool.
- 4. Arrange cooled figs in cooled crust and pour fig-cooking liquid over them. Let sit at least 1 hour (at room temperature) and up to overnight (in refrigerator). Serve at room temperature, with crème fraîche.

RUFUS!!!0 Reviews
Always making moves without thinking, Rufus...
"Good morning President." Tifa slid to her feet; he looked so much older when he was worried and tired.
"Good morning Miss Lockheart." He smiled a little and then spotted Ada coming around. "Good morning Miss Wong."
Ada smiled and stood up and headed to look at the cage where Dark Nation was sweating heavily and growling under his breath. Tseng moved forward and ignoring the danger put his hand through the bars, the old boy didn't deserve this. Dark Nation gave him a warning growl but didn't move as Tseng's hand ran over his body.
"Sorry old boy…" Tseng looked at Rufus who nodded and turned away to head outside.
"NO!" Tifa grabbed at Tseng's hand. "Don't you dare hurt him!"
"He's going to suffer more in the long run. We can't get the antidote… he's dying already Tifa." Tseng's resolve was absolute. "Rufus can't watch him suffer any longer."
"Tseng." Ada moved a little closer to him, her hand going to his gun side. "Why not give the boys just a little longer? They are working to save him." Her eyes were soft, seductive and Tseng looked at her for the briefest moment. "Thank you." She smirked as she took his gun.
"You'll only ever pull that trick on me once woman." Tseng's expression hardened for a second before softening again. "But I guess once is enough for the hound."
"Thank you." Tifa nodded. "If he turns and they can't save him I'll even load the bullets but Rufus is doing this because he can't cope with not having control of the situation and it scares him. You know that's why."
Rufus didn't hear the gun, he wondered if Tseng had pulled out when his head Turk came to tell him the news and that the women had a good point. Rufus sighed, he headed back in and ignoring Tseng's advice to keep his hand free put it in the cage door. If he was honest it was suicidal but that was fine.
"How long does it take the virus if you are human?"
"About two days I thin…" Ada knew the second she answered she'd made a mistake. Rufus yanked hard on Dark Nation's tendril, the already bothered hound did something he'd never have done before and bit his master.
"Now you have a better timeline." Rufus muttered as he walked out.
Tseng wanted to shout and yell but he knew Rufus so well, the arrogant stubborn man would never let him do that in public without a severe reprimand. Tifa looked to Ada and sighed, Rufus just didn't seem to care about anything, anyone or himself at times. Ada took her hand and checking the cage one last time came out to follow the two men.
"Rufus?" Tifa called to him and the blond turned around rubbing his hand. "Why did you have to do that?"
"I didn't have to. I wanted to. My Turks will rally faster and maybe Dark Nation will get what he needs but either way they will be incensed to stop Hojo. Nothing else matters."
"Hojo?" Tifa looked into his eyes, no smug and jovial signs of him enjoying the trials as usual, he was seriously worried. "Oh Rufus…" She sighed.
"Don't spare sympathy or pretend to care about me." Rufus opened his phone up and looked at her. "Because if you do that will only make it harder for me."
"I understand." Tifa turned away but kept close to Ada as Rufus made his call.
"Reno," Rufus took a breath, "I have the T-Virus. You have forty eight hours to find Hojo and the antidote. I don't care how you do it, just do it."
"Sir!" Reno's voice carried out in shock over the room. "How?"
"Dark Nation bit me. It was my own fault I am sorry to worry you."
"Rufus you idiot." Reno muttered. "See you in thirty six." He hung up and looked to Cloud. "I think I'm suddenly awake."
"I hear you." Cloud nodded. "He did that on purpose didn't he?"
"Of course." Reno landed them. "Now we have to find the blasted stuff even faster and he knows it."
"Clever man." Leon injected his thoughts.
"Yeah you try working for the so-called genius." Elena said sarcastically.
"Well if he survives maybe I will." Leon waited until the chopper landed before hopping down.

This is absurd – since when does SciFi have to fit into some lame political framework? Why not review reruns of Star Trek and get mad when Spock does a mind-meld instead of praying to Jesus? Why not get angry when it turns out that Picard's ship is actually siphoning water from a planet whose micro-size intelligent life inhabits the water and is interconnected and claim its anti-something-conservative. This movie is not about America or the US Military. Its about mercenaries. Paid soldiers not beholden to any constitution, rather a contract. The blue people actually plug into a network, like computers. So why worry about religion? Do you buy broadband or pray that God sends the information to your PC? Come on!
Let's pull out ALL the stops in methods to generate box office interest. How facile comparing these pictures based on what? A publicist's gimmick? How transparent. Just because a picture has a big budget, a name director and producer doesn't warrant this kind of trashy attempt to get people to look at it with respect or even reverence by comparing it with GTW? Give me a break.
Avatar is excellent moviemaking and absurd politics. Like Titanic, it appeals most strongly to the 12 year old brain, the ideal repository for lame platitudes.
Get a life! This is ENTERTAINMENT! I am reminded what Somebody once said. "A critic is a legless person who teaches running".
Someday, someone, somewhere, is going to create a movie that celebrates traditional American values and shows liberals as the villainous scum they are, and all hell will break loose. There will probably be riots in the streets, cities will be burnt to the ground, and so much as admitting that you even saw the film in some areas might be tantamount to a suicide wish if you say it with a smile.
Wrong; Avatar is a great film, irregardless of the messages that some not totally agree with.
An insightful review, I thought, though to me the war on Pandora was so far from reality that I never felt like it was intended with any disrespect to our soldiers. It's a good movie with classic plot lines and stunning visuals, but falls short of greatness due to a lack of original characters and some story elements that have been well-used already. It's Fern Gully for grown-ups, and quite entertaining for it
Taunted by my 16 year old daughter, we went to see Avatar. After the first 30 minutes of excitement with the 3D special effects I was ready to walk out when the novelty had faded, and it became clear that the next 2 hours would be more of the same with unfortunately no content of interest to take away from this silly, vapid, subliminally souped up anti American movie.
This article loses credibility by stating as fact the hysterical and bizarre right wing cry that this movie is somehow anti-American. For some reason far right wingers believe that hundreds of years into the future the world will not only be ruled by the United States, but by an American corporation. Haliburton or Blackwater perhaps? I don't recall where in the movie it explicitly said it was an American enterprise nor did it have any American flags or symbols. However, I do recall that the good guy was clearly an American. The WSJ is reading more and more like the trashy NY POST.
A more interesting question is why in the absence of anything that identifies the antagonists as Americans do only right wing self-professed conservatives identify America with the rapacious, vicious, and heartless corporate mercenaries. Is that their automatic view of America? The protagonist is clearly American born and is the heroic defender of truth, justice and fundamental American values. Yet, the right wing see that as anti-American.
Although Avatar identifies the soldiers as mercenaries, Cameron is using a literary device called "roman a clef", in which a real person is thinly disguised as a fictional one to give the author deniability while fooling nobody. The soldiers are clearly a caricature of the American military.
As with all of the human characters, there is no attempt to make the military anything but 20th century Americans in speech patterns, dress, or attitudes, despite the setting in the far future. Example: "Hey look: meals on wheels!" from an insensitive GI mocking our hero in his wheelchair. What could that phrase possibly mean centuries from now? The anachronism is so blatant that it's obviously intentional. The people we are encouraged to hate are the present day US Army, like it or not.
The political stance of the film caters to those who draw a distinction between the American government (evil) and Americans as individuals (OK, as long as they feel disdain for the government and its institutions). By doing it that way, Cameron can attract a global anti-American audience while still remaining acceptable to most Americans by allowing them to identify with the good guys.
Say what you will, though; Avatar has certainly succeeded in getting people talking. And talking. And talking…
Well, despite the political context, one should also look into how movies generally represent cultures and organizations. Cultural touchstones are used as a form of shorthand. For example, American movies about the Roman Empire have many of the Roman characters speak with a British accent. Why? Well our nearest example of a successful empire is the British Empire, thus our closest cultural shorthand is the British accent. Another example would be the use of the British navy system as an example of a successful, understandable model for the management of space ships (Star Trek, after all, is just Horatio Hornblower). In the 20th and 21st centuries the most successful model for a traditional military is the US system. Thus the American style of organization and attitude is the shorthand for an efficient and effective traditional military organization. Cameron already did this with his movie Aliens (as good guys in a bad situation), even Microsoft uses the model with the Halo games (as the defenders of humanity). While political in tone, it is just a shorthand – if you want to represent the biggest and best military organization (either to fight against or with) the most visible and best known model the US military. The audience just needs a few clues and the audience knows that by using the American military model, the organization that is represented on the screen is the most advanced and regarded as the best. This shorthand can be see as a compliment or an insult depending upon context; however one should get used to it since it is a fact.
Wow, I cannot fathom how the reviewer – and a number of the writers – saw Avatar as predominately anti-American. Gosh folks – look a little deeper. What do you suppose is means when Jake Sully opens his eyes from cryo-sleep and says One life ends, one begins… then opens those eyes again from a link with his avatar and says that he is begins to feel the real world is the world of the Na'vi and the unreal world is his human world… and finally in the end walks once more – and has become a Na'vi – one of the people. Its a parable of rebirth for one person become Na'vi (Jake) and in the larger picture a story of potential rebirth for a world – ours – if we take the message of the movie to heart.
Come on – think about it!!
Tarzan visits Pandora, good effects, otherwise been there done that.
I disagree that Avatar has a particularly anti-American message. It has a strong anti-humanity message. What Cameron condemns is Western civilization's track record of colonization and what it did to native populations. Spain, England, Portugal, the Netherlands, France, the United States, and others were all guilty of the type of corporate-cum-national imperialism that Avatar predicts will be likely in the future–unless we learn from our mistakes. Remember: England's favored method of colonization was to establish a joint stock company that would take the initial risks to get a colony started as a business venture. Then, when the venture was established and profitable, the crown would step in and declare the colony royal. Few colonies remained private charters. If you question what I'm saying, then remember these companies: The Virginia Company of London, the Hudson Bay Company, the East India Company, the South Africa Company, etc. Again, this isn't an anti-America polemic. It's a reflection of what human nature will lead to if we let it.
The movie wasn't anything special. I thought I was going to see something I hadn't seen before and I didn't. Lord Of The Rings part 1 was far better than crappy Avatar. As far as the politics goes if the show fits wear it. If anybody is put on the hot seat in this movie it is white folks with powerful military weapons. It just shows how far they would go to take someone's stuff. Happened with blacks and the native americans to name a few. Art imitated life.
And 99% of the showings were in 3D. Big deal! It cost almost 4-7 dollars more, depending on where you're at,to see the movie. No wonder it has racked up the big bucks so fast.
the essay-writer and a lot of commenters think that taking a stand against big money's greed, genocide and destruction of the natural foundations of our very existence is anti-american?
Then it is good to be anti-american.
What are "our soldiers" fighting for in Afghanistan? Increased opium production? There was and is no link from 9/11 to Afghanistan, and there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq…
…all your bloody lies.
Oh come on, Cameron's movie merely points out that if we continue to allow Corporate America and Republicans to steer this country toward the greedy, rapacious, militaristic society they would have us become, we will get our asses handed to us by aliens, or the rest of the world, whichever comes first. That's all.
You made the best point yet about the anti-colonial message of the film. I still think there is also an anti-American government, if not military, message in the film. The fact that the soldiers depicted in the film might be more mercenaries than actual US military is really beside the point, since they can be seen as representative of private contractors America used in Iraq.
Also, it's ridiculous to argue that the characters don't represent America. Of course they're American, whether it's American government, American military, American Big Business, or anything else is irrelevant. I think the main thing is, this movie has an obvious pro-environmental message, and it could probably be interpreted as having a radical environmental agenda, which by definition would make it anti-American in it's own right.
You also forgot to mention Victor Flemming never ran around screaming "Game Changer!" Before the release of GWTW, like Cameron did with his film. The same goes for Speiglberg with Jaws, and Lucas with Star Wars.
Avatar blows Gone with the Wind away. As for the anti-colonial theme, it does present a problem. It get's people talking and then they won't shutup. This annoys me, but you also can't deny how much money it has made. So pretty much, open up your minds and enjoy what Avatar has set in filmmaking. No movie will ever take it down.

A Community prayer vigil will be held at Community Clubhouse in Crisp County on Sunday, September 14,2014 at 7pm.
February 25, 2003
Albany - Children at Albany's Semper Fidelis Nursery School enjoy the innocence of youth. The three and four year olds have no idea of the budget struggles their director and teacher is going through.
"Probably will have to cut back on learning materials, and the classes teachers will take," Felicia Johnson, the nursery school's director said.
That's because the United Way of Southwest Georgia raised only $1.45 million of the $1.65 million necessary to fully fund it's agencies at last years rates.
"Can't say our expectation ever was to reach that goal, but we owed it to the communities and agencies we serve to try to make it," United Way of Southwest Georgia President Wayne Mehearg said.
Mehearg says he wasn't optimistic because he realized fundraising is more difficult in a recessionary economy.
"United Way depends on contributions which are mostly payroll deduction at worksite, when people aren't working, they aren't there to be solicited," Mehearg said.
"The United way mostly serves the elderly, disabled, and children like these, including funding programs like Boys and Girl Scouts and the Boys and Girls Club of Albany."
Now each is having to look at grants or other options to make up for lost funding.
"Possibly will have to increase fees next school term," Johnson said.
Something she doesn't want to do the parents of these children, since the main reason they are part of the United Way in the first place, is they offer reduced child care costs to those who can't afford it.
The United Way of Southwest Georgia serves 19 other agencies in surrounding counties. They'll be notified how much their allocations will be cut in the next few weeks.

Q&A: Should I breastfeed when I'm sick?
I'm a new mom who's nursing, and I'm afraid I either have the flu or a stomach bug—I've been throwing up for hours! Is it safe for me to breastfeed when I'm sick like this? Will I infect my baby?
It is absolutely safe for you to feed your baby. By the time you show outward symptoms of a bug, you have already been infected with it and have probably already exposed the baby to it, too.
The best thing, if you are feeling up to it, is to keep nursing. Here's why: As your body makes immunities to help you ward off this nasty bug, you will pass them through your milk to the baby. By passing them on to her, she will either avoid the bug completely or get it in a much less intense way. The real problem arises for moms when they are feeling lousy or become dehydrated by keeping up with their little ones' demands. (Read Being Sick with Baby to learn more.)
If you are sick, ask for help! Stay in bed and rest as much as possible. Stay well hydrated by chewing on ice chips or sipping ginger ale or warm tea. Learn which medications are safe to take.
If you feel your milk supply has dipped—which can happen if you get dehydrated—keep pushing fluids and consult with a lactation consultant for ideas on how to increase your supply. If your baby does get sick, make sure you check in with her pediatrician if she begins vomiting, has diarrhea, develops a fever, or becomes lethargic or overly fussy.

Should we let homeopathy be?
The biggest dilemma for me is that placebo is proven to work better if the physician also believes he's giving real medecine. In this view, homeopathy is the perfect placebo. Even the people making it, through laborious dilutions, have GOT to believe in it, or their high school knowledge about chemistry would make it tempting to skip the whole process and make more profit selling sugar.
It's even got quantum mechanics watching its back, losing the more curious ones in complexe explanations about just how complexe liquid water is.
And of course, the idea is fun. Like cures like. 1/1000000th of a molecule of ethanol to cure a hangover.
Sure it's tempting to ridicule the whole industry for the billion dollar quackery it is. But one might actually find that it's saving a lot of healthcare money, and that it WORKS! And it works because we let it, because we don't ask for double-blind tests...
So what's your view on this? Is homeopathy a cheap way to heall the credulous? Or has it gone too far and is part of what makes the transition to the age of reason so darn slow?

Oct 23 2013: This is what the homeopathy skeptics are fighting to maintain:
This is what homeopaths and their patients are fighting to maintain:
"The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston – The US department of alternative medicine followed the cases presented in Corfu with lab trials using Banerji's homeopathic medicine on cancer cells at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC) in Houston. Dr. Sen Pathak, Prof. of Cell Biology & Genetics, at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, collaborated in this joint research between the PBHRF and the MDACC. The research work is now complete and published. An in vitro study with the medicines has shown brilliant results in killing brain cancer cells while activating the normal cells. The paper entitled "Ruta 6 selectively induces cell death in brain cancer cells but proliferation in normal peripheral blood lymphocytes: A novel treatment for human brain cancer" was jointly published with Pathak S, Multani AS, of the Department of Molecular Genetics, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, USA., in the October 2003 issue of the International Journal of Oncology. (PBHRF and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, USA conducted jointly an in vitro research study on the effectiveness of the medicines Ruta 6 and Calcarea Phosphorica 3X in destroying brain cancer cells while activating the normal cells. The research study was published in the form of a paper in the October 2003 issue of the International Journal of Oncology.)"
Oct 23 2013: Oh it's your own research, great! I have so many questions.
The first one is : how does it work? Or is your research only about writing on blogs that phosphorica Z15 and zormax 1000 destroy cancer cells?
What's the theory. How do they destroy the cells?
Is "the medecine" a dillution of something, or is it made with actual molecules?

Back story: A student in my grade (I am currently a sophomore in high school) came in to my study hall. At the time I was walking to the front of the room to get something. He took his water bottle, poured water into his hand, and threw it into my face, saying "I now baptize you in the name of the Father, the Mother, and the Holy Spirit." He is a Catholic zealot, for lack of better word, and is usually fairly intelligent. This action was offending at first, but now I just have to laugh at the complete stupidity of it. What do you, forum, think of this?

I would say he was either joking or has mental issues. Not sure how he could be 'Catholic', or at least know anything about the religion.... Catholics don't baptize "in the name of the Father, the Mother, and the Holy spirit"; they baptize "in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit", for one thing.
I may have gotten the exact quote wrong. It was something to that effect though.
I think it's only fair that go get your own bottle of water and unbaptize him in the name of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Water? You miss the point. This guy needs to be forcibly baptized into the Flying Spaghetti Monster religion by throwing a plate of spaghetti in his face...
Yeah! Sprinkling him with sauce is prob fine, too...
He should have known that it would be ineffective. You can't just use ordinary tap water, to get Holy water you first have to boil the Hell out of it.
I love your comments Arcus you have to be the funniest person on TA.
Entertaining, but could be taken as assault. Depends on who the guy goes after, I guess.
You should have punched him in the face and baptized him the name of your fist.
I would make a doll out of cloth scraps, leather strips, buttons, etc. Then I'd take it to class, get his attention, get the doll out and furiously stick pins in it while glaring at him wide eyed and with my tongue gyrating out of my mouth.
Although that might be an invitation for an amateur exorcism.
^Like! Your idea is better :)
