Should We Get Raw Milk By Prescription?
Raluca Schachter, Guest Writer
Waking Times
If I ever travel to other US states I'd like to be able to buy raw milk by prescription. Since you can easily get many things by prescription these days… All kind of dangerous substances. FDA says raw milk is "dangerous". So I bet I could get it by prescription!
Seriously, genetically modified foods, processed foods, Frankenfoods! growth hormones in animals, pesticides, chemicals, vaccines and a huge variety of medication with serious side effects are all allowed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)!
But when it comes to RAW MILK the FDA continues to play hard and make everything possible to wipe it out from the Earth's surface! Denying all scientific studies, which have been done to demonstrate raw milk's health promoting benefits. Ignoring the clinical reality, which shows us a growing number of people experiencing a huge improvement in negative symptoms once they switch from pasteurized to raw milk.
Scare Tactics And Recalls, The "FDA" Style!
Since this is clearly an organization who abuses power, it can easily use "scare" tactics and recalls, on unproven grounds. For example:
The International Milk Genomics Consortium (IMGC), which is housed at the University of California, Davis has been working for years to reveal groundbreaking scientific research and studies about the genes that are responsible for making milk. The results of their excellent and interesting scientific information about milk (raw milk and mothers' milk specifically), is published in a newsletter called Splash!, which seemed to be yet another "threat" in the eyes of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and its agenda. That's why it was carefully "suggested" for certain information - The Evidence Around Raw Milk- provided by this newsletter to be immediately stopped and ultimately modified to serve their interest…So how does censoring scientific papers sit well with ACADEMIC FREEDOM? You can read more about this subject in my previous article, Breast Milk Secrets Which The FDA Doesn't Want You To Know.
How about RECALLS? Well, they sure do come in handy when raw milk sales go up too much! Organic Pastures, the largest raw milk producer in California, had to face two recalls for the past year, after many years of providing fresh, healthy raw milk to their consumers. BOTH of the lab testings done in these cases showed NO PATHOGENS in their raw milk, although they had to be shut down for a month and then a week, suffering significant losses. In 2006 a pasteurized creamery got 1,600 people sick with Campylobacter; seven were hospitalized. They were recalled for only 3 hours without even testing…I have a single question for you here: WHY is raw milk treated totally different than pasteurized milk??
Lawsuit Filed Against FDA. Will The Truth Finally Prevail?
A lawsuit was filed last month against the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and government officials, concerning the interstate sales of raw milk.
Organic Pastures Dairy Company, LLC is seeking to force FDA to take final action on a four-year-old petition, requesting the food safety agency grant an exception to the prohibition on interstate sales of raw milk. They have sought permission to transport and sell raw milk across state lines so long as sales of the product are legal in both states.
Mark McAfee, owner of Organic Pastures, states his business is booming with raw milk sales of $10 million a year and 75,000 customers in California. Sprouts, the chain of specialty grocery stores, would like to purchase raw milk from Organic Pastures for retail sales in Arizona. That is not possible today because the federal government has banned interstate sales of raw milk since 1988. (You can see in the picture below in which states raw milk sales are legal in stores and what other legal forms are accepted if raw milk is not sold in stores.)
Mark McAfee believes CDC has posted misleading information on raw milk. Citing a Cornell study analyzing CDC data, he told the CDC in a scathing letter last summer that the number of illnesses caused by raw milk (1,100) between 1973 and 2009 is minuscule compared to those linked to pasteurized milk (422,000).The letter also cited at least fifty deaths from pasteurized cheese or milk while stating raw milk was linked to no deaths during those years.
As you see, dangerous, toxic, body and mind altering drugs are much easier to get by prescription nationwide!

Hi, I was just visiting because you linked to my site so I got a pingback notice. Do you mind crediting the map to Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund (FTCLDF) and linking to them? It's their graphic: http://www.farmtoconsumer.org/raw_milk_map.htm. I use it with permission on the realmilk.com site because Campaign for Real Milk and FTCLDF are sister organizations through Weston A. Price Foundation. Thanks.
Excellent article – this needs to go to the assistant editor at Mother Jones mag. She wrote an article in the November 2012 issue entitled "Got E-coli"? She also mentioned that "pasteurization was created for a reason." Sure, she continued, raw milk tastes better, but is it worth the risk? No mention of the health benefits while quoting the CDC and citing Organic Pasture's "recalls". No stats on E-coli or other food borne dairy diseases either. Mother Jones must have rolled over in her grave!
Mother Jones has been a sell out now for a very long time – they rarely offer any good advice.
I saw that article, but wasn't surprised by MJ, they sold out a long time ago. I learned recently that there's a type of good bacteria in raw milk that helps combat depression. My husband has depression and always feels better when he's drinking his raw milk. We belong to a herd share and have been drinking it regularly for 2.5 years – we are in much better health now. For 10,000 years at least, people have been drinking raw milk and not dying – unless of course they didn't use hygienic practices. As long as you know who is caring for the cow and that they're keeping it hygienic, you're fine. THANK YOU for printing this article! I read so much about how raw milk can make you very sick, I'm glad someone is getting the truth out.
Milk is great food for a baby cow. So if you're a baby cow, drink up, but otherwise that's probably why so many people (50% of the population) have some type of intolerance to milk, raw or otherwise.
I don't think asking for permission is an appropriate solution. We should demand the right to use raw milk!
There have been studies about the raw milk here in Finland. I can't remember well how it went, but the milk should be processed or it can get you ill because of the high amount of bacteria. The processing means heating it up to 75 degrees for 15 seconds to kill the bacteria. Also if the milk is not processed, it goes bad in only few days and you can't drink it anymore. So you should get it from the cows to your stomach quite fast if you want it raw. And even then there is decent risk of getting yourself sick.

Palestinian farmers complain of wild pig menace
Villagers demand PNA to provide licensed rifles for protection

Ramallah: A 63-year-old retired Palestinian teacher, Noor Al Deen Ebrahim Hamdan of Kofr Jammal, north of the West Bank, claims he will manufacture primitive weapons to protect himself and his family from daily attacks by Israeli wild pigs.
Noor Al Deen recently spent several weeks in the ICU of Thabet Thabet Public Hospital in Tulkarem after he was attacked by wild pigs released by Israeli colonists while he was harvesting olive trees. He was in a coma and sustained serious fractures and injuries in different parts of his body.
The villagers in Kofr Jammal claim that the situation is unbearable and have demanded that the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) provide them with licensed rifles for self-protection.
Noor Al Deen said that working on Palestinian private land around the Israeli wall had turned into a safety threat for Palestinian families, especially during the olive harvest season.
"We have seen Israeli colonists in private trucks releasing wild pigs into our lands and have complained to the Palestinian authorities about this several times," he told Gulf News.
Noor Al Deen was with his family members harvesting olive trees early in the morning when a wild pig attacked him. The same pig later entered his neighbour's farm. Murad Khalid Helmi, who was alerted by Noor Al Deen's shouts, climbed on top of his tractor to avoid the attack.
Wild pigs typically sleep during the day and roam around at night. "They attack us at night daily," Helmi said.
This was the second pig attack in the village in the past few months. In an earlier incident, a villager, Mohammad Sulaiman Abu Zaid, became disabled after a group of pigs attacked him in his farm.
"The Palestinian farmers urgently need help and a viable solution for the pig attacks," Noor Al Deen said.
Monther Abdul Hadi, another villager from Kofr Jammal, said it was the PNA's responsibility to provide farmers with the necessary protection. "Our youth spend nights awake protecting their families and houses from the pigs," he said. "This threat should end."
"The villagers should be armed with necessary rifles for self-protection. The PNA should address this issue with the Israelis," he said. "The traditional ways of poisoning the pigs and fixing traps have proved to be useless as the number of pigs is increasing quickly."

text: In the beginning of beginnings, a man who is still believed to come from Nri, Settled in the South East of district of Aguata, to be precise at AKALABO; in the heart of a town called Amesi by circumstances of birth and history.This man whose name was Umennebe Dike has three sons- Amesi, who was the first, Akpo, the second and Ebele as the third and last child. Ebele's name signifies the level of consolation his father receives owing to his long expected birth. Being the first son, Amesi occupied the Obi as tradition warrants in most parts of Igbo land, and Umennebe Dike thereafter blessed him with knowledge of herb and there natural importance. Akpo, the second son, who so much took after his father in strength and knowledge, became the police of his father's empire. He supported his father in his works, especially farming. In his fathers absence, it was said that she spearheaded the inter- tribal, war against Ahafia and Aro people. Due to his strength, his father love him so much that he called him, Akponnaya; which means the strength of his father. Umunnebe Dike, before his death, allotted the northern part of his kingdom, which was believed to be more volatile than any other part to Akpo. This he did considering the level of hostility that was coming from that part of his domain. The southern part of the kingdom, now Achina, was allotted to Ebele. Akpo married two wives

What is the trigger for truly deep friendships, and how can I move my university friendships in that direction?Somewhat longer summary of your question:
Prior to coming to university last year, I wasn't interested in making friends, but I put this down to "lack of resonance between myself and others." I had high hopes for the kind of friendships I'd find a university.posted by LobsterMitten at 8:02 PM on November 4, 2011 [13 favorites]
In first year, I made a lot of friends quickly, but their friendships deepened while "my relationships with them continued to remain fairly shallow." They didn't seek me out for company, didn't invite me to events or to become roommates for next year, etc. I wanted connection with them and was depressed to miss out.
Some facts about me: I have an old diagnosis of Asperger's, but I disdain it because the testing was unconvincing. I've seen therapists and did not find them to be useful. I have severe hearing loss, which can make socializing taxing. But I'm charismatic when I put in the effort.
I asked two friends for advice. Both said:
1. My conversational style is intense and I don't like to just "hang out" like most people do (I am "goal-orientated" even in socializing) and this can make people uncomfortable.
2. I was exaggerating the depth of other people's friendships; I wouldn't be happy with the type of less-intense friendship that most of my residence-mates have, so I shouldn't feel like I'm missing out.
I'm frustrated because this suggests it will be hard for me to find the kind of friendship I want. I am stuck at the small-talk level with most people, and can't get deeper. "And while they tell me to just give it time, I'm not entirely sure if that's the answer. What is the trigger?"

I was surprised it's as convenient to use as usual chemical hair color. Liked it much more than henna. And most of this brand colors I used looked so natural that everybody thought I don't color my hair.

I have hereditary grey hair, so I use haircolor to cover the grey hair regularly. The problem with off the counter haircolor is that it can be rather harsh on hair and makes my hair brittle and dry. Used this, and love it. It's gentler and the colour is rich and natural!
Beautiful color.

I love the way this product colors my hair. There isn't a chemical smell to me. Also, because they use recloseable bottles, I am able to only use 1/2 of the product per coloring each time. Saves me money!

Carol E. Ball, RN, MAS, recently became the first nurse in the history of Johns Hopkins Medicine to have an inpatient unit named in her honor. In recognition of Ball's 47 years of service to the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, the Bridgeview Unit in the John R. Burton Pavilion was renamed the Carol Ball Medicine Unit at a special dedication on November 18.
Ball, who currently serves as the senior director of nursing and administration at Johns Hopkins Bayview, has a reputation among colleagues and patients for being caring, genuine, collegial, loyal and innovative. "She epitomizes what makes Johns Hopkins Bayview such a special place," says Richard G. Bennett, M.D., president of the Medical Center.
"It's more common that a unit is named after a donor, a retiree, or someone who is deceased," explains Ronald R. Peterson, president of The Johns Hopkins Hospital and the Johns Hopkins Health System, and executive vice president of Johns Hopkins Medicine. "It is a special and rare occasion that we honor a beloved colleague who is still working with us."
Ball began her nursing career in 1964 at Johns Hopkins Bayview (then Baltimore City Hospitals). Through the years, she held many different positions, including staff nurse, head nurse in the emergency department, nursing supervisor and director of nursing and support services. In each of these roles, Ball has upheld an unyielding principle––a commitment to provide the very best care to patients. "Johns Hopkins Bayview's commitment and dedication to nursing started with Carol's leadership," says Maria V. Koszalka, Ed.D., RN, vice president of patient care services at the Medical Center.
In addition to living out her passion of mentoring young nurses and managers, Ball also has collaborated with other disciplines to develop a team approach to patient care at Johns Hopkins Bayview. During her many years at the Medical Center, she remained nursing's foundation through the transitions from Baltimore City Hospitals to Francis Scott Key Medical Center to today's Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center.
"People have often asked me, 'how can you stay at the same hospital for 47 years?,' " says Ball. "I tell them that this is not the same hospital. There have been remarkable transformations through the years, and I feel privileged to have played a role in those changes. This tribute is for all of nursing."

TSP automatic enrollment explained
Monday - 7/11/2011, 4:56pm EDT
Federal News Radio
New hires under the Federal Employees Retirement System are automatically enrolled into the Thrift Savings Plan.
Tom Trabucco, director of external affairs at the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board, said in an interview with Federal News Radio that since the middle of last year, new federal employees, by default, gain access to the government's retirement plan.
"For FERS people, you're automatically enrolled at 3 percent of your pay. That 3 percent that you're putting in generates actually 4 percent of pay in contributions by the government," Trabucco said.
That 1 percent comes from your agency's contribution. Trabucco said, "Whether or not you put your own funds as a FERS employee, you're entitled to that agency automatic 1 percent."
Besides the standard 3 percent of their salary, many employees under their own volition choose to invest even more of their TSP retirement plans. Trabucco said that 85.4 percent of employees under TSP contribute more than 3 percent.
Since 2006, federal employees could contribute as much as $16,500 a year, he said.
The success of TSP rests with the government's cautious investment in indexes, Trabucco said.
"Congress did decide that it wanted to be conservative in setting this up 25 years ago. That's why it selected the index fund approach, because what that does is produce a couple of good results. Congress did not want the federal employees retirement organization to be a market mover," he said.
"Going through index funds means that we are simply tracking all of the market activity that is going on out there, and giving people who are employed by the federal government an opportunity to invest in what is known as a broad index," Trabucco said. "Investing broadly is a way to get average stock market returns which over time have shown that they will grow.
Trabucco said the next step for TSP is to get the word out so employees can capitalize on this retirement investment opportunity.
"What we've done is taken a low-key approach, working very closely with the employing agencies of government and making sure that good educational information gets out there to the eligible pool of participants."

Definition of outside in English:
outsideSyllabification: out·side
- The inside was just about as nice looking as the outside for a police building.
- The outsides of buildings are horrible facades of doom and brimstone and that gunky stuff that forms in your eye when you're sleepy.
- A pair of peak-like chicken croquettes drizzled in yellow giblet gravy have extra-crunchy outsides and smooth white-meat insides.
- Before they can turn they are having to swerve to the outside lane to give themselves some place.
- He answered that it was only the outside which appeared different; people were the same everywhere.
- I'll remember how she was even more beautiful on the inside than the outside.
- If the pass goes to the baseline, a good shot often presents itself on a return pass to the outside.
- Neither of its outside surfaces had touched anything but air during its creation.
- The outside surface is polished nicely to give a classy look to a very practical tool.
- Is an ear part of the inside or the outside of a body, and how can we distinguish its own inside and outside surfaces?
- This occurs most often on outside pitches with an ump having a wide strike zone.
- Grissom looks like he has moved closer to the plate to handle the outside pitch.
- Next was Paul Lo Duca, who took a good outside pitch down the first base line for a double.
- Baxendell is still one of the most talented outside centres in the country.

Outside of tends to be more commonly used in the US than in Britain, where outside usually suffices, but, like its cousin off of, it is colloquial and not recommended for formal writing. (See off (usage).) The adverb outside is not problematic when referring to physical space, position, etc. ( I'm going outside), but the compound preposition outside of is often used as a colloquial (and often inferior) way of saying except for, other than, apart from ( outside of what I just mentioned, I can't think of any reason not to). Besides possibly sounding more informal than desired, outside of may cause misunderstanding by suggesting physical space or location when that is not the point to be emphasized, or when no such sense is intended—consider the ambiguity in this sentence: outside of China, he has few interests. Does this mean that his primary interest is China? Or does it mean that whenever he is not in China, he has few interests?.

- That's $140 billion dollars a year, at the outside.
on the outside
- Away from or not belonging to a particular circle or institution: when you're on the outside, then you have a much better view of what they're doingMore example sentences
- As an only child growing up in Aberdeen, she remembers the sense of always being slightly on the outside.
- Talk to someone on the outside, like other people in your family, a trusted teacher or another adult.
on the outside looking in
- (Of a person) excluded from a group or activity.More example sentences
- Most people would understand that we need to get an element of comfort because we are on the outside looking in.
- The time is now critical for members of both parties to decide, once and for all, if they can again be part of the same household, or if maintaining their differences is worth the price of remaining forever on the outside looking in.
- I used to be on the outside looking in, but now I am right in the middle of it, and I can see what it's all about.
an outside chance
- A remote possibility.More example sentences
- She could ride next Sunday's women's road race, where she has an outside chance of a medal, or spend the week relaxing, and basking in some of the glory of her historic achievement.
- There is still an outside chance that we might escape the dreaded drop but the statistics are firmly stacked against us and it will now take an exceptional effort to avoid the drop.
- It now means his lead is down to 30 points over us, and there are five races to go, so it gives us an outside chance.

I've already got kinda an idea for one, but any ideas/prompts you guys have would be really helpful too. Also, one final question before I shut up...what, in your opinion, makes a good smut?

SEATTLE (AP) - Steve Sarkisian's decision to have Washington follow the trend of playing offense as fast as possible can be traced somewhat to what happened last year in Tucson.
Arizona didn't just blow out the Huskies in a 52-17 thumping. Washington experienced firsthand just how physically exhausting it can be trying to keep up with skilled playmakers in a high-tempo offense.
Get ready for a dizzying pace come Saturday afternoon when the 16th-ranked Huskies (3-0) host Arizona (3-0) in the Pac-12 opener for both schools. It's a matchup of two of the fastest-paced teams, two of the best running backs in the country and two programs trying to validate unbeaten starts.
Washington has not started 4-0 since 2001.

Apple 'celebrates' the release of Samsung's Galaxy S5 by calling it a 'copy cat'
Apple has reportedly accused Samsung as 'copycat' once again claiming billions of dollars in damages.
Last week, Samsung had offered a brief preview of its plans, including an effort to downplay Apple's copycat claims by focusing on features it offered that Apple hadn't, like larger-screened phones with removable batteries, LTE, styluses, NFC sensors, and certain software features like multi-window applications
According to the Verge, Apple branded Samsung as 'copycat' and following nearly five full days of court rested their case against the South Korean company, who will now turn to go on the offensive and undercut Apple's efforts by playing out their plans over the course of the next two weeks.
In its opening last week, Samsung also reportedly pointed to internal Apple documents and media articles about the success of its marketing, something it's hoping will sway jurors into viewing its popularity as something outside of these specific software features.
With Apple resting the case both the companies are reportedly at a risk of potentially large sums of money and possible sales ban on products if they are deemed to be infringing on the patents.
Apple wants damages of 2.191 million-dollars, while Samsung is going after Apple for about 6.9 million-dollars, but these amounts could be far less depending on how the jury decides, the report added.

Great treat for holiday gifts! This was an easy recipe; each step took longer than the recipe stated, but the results are tasty. It took at least 15 minutes for the sugar to crystallize on the peanuts, and I roasted the peanuts about 35-40 minutes. I also made my own mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice instead of buying pumpkin pie spice.
Sugar-and-Spice Peanuts
Yield: Makes 4 cups
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 cups shelled raw peanuts
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Cook sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves. Stir in peanuts, and cook 10 minutes or until sugar starts to crystallize on peanuts. Sprinkle pumpkin pie spice evenly over peanuts, stirring to coat. Spread nuts in a single layer on a lightly greased baking sheet.
- Bake at 300° for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Cool on baking sheet. Store in an airtight container.

Even though the Breaking Dawn hype has died down for the time being, that doesn't mean fans have lost their hunger for every piece of Robert Pattinson they can get their hands on. He's so hunky, and he's so great on the big screen -- and we wanna see more of him as soon as possible!
And now there's good news for those of us who crave all things RPatz -- because a release date has been set for Bel Ami. And luckily, we won't have to wait too much longer to see Rob take on a role that is a far cry from his blood-sucking Twilight alter-ego, Edward Cullen. So -- is the suspense killing you yet? Wanna know the date? Drum roll, please!
More from The Stir: Robert Pattinson's Sexy 'Bel Ami' Scenes Prove He's a Real Pro (VIDEO)
Bel Ami is officially set to hit the big screen on June 8th, which is only a few more months away. Can you stand it? Rob is going to be so hot in this film. I can't wait to see him play a more grown-up role, and to watch him have romances with women who aren't in high school. Since the Twilight films were primarily geared towards a teenage crowd (not for 34-year old moms like me), it will be fun to see Rob give off a little bit more steam. Whew -- is it getting hot in here?
Take a look at the video clip below to see shots of Robert Pattinson filming Bel Ami. Doesn't he look sexy in a top hat?
Are you excited to see Rob take on a more mature role?
Image via Pascal Le Segretain/Getty
I think he will be great.
I guess so.. its acting,
I think it looks good
I think he'll do good.
I have never even seen a movie that he has played in but I am sure that he will do just fine since he became so popular with Twilight.
He is going to do just fine with a more mature role.
It should be fun to see him in a more mature role.

This is a unique toilet, as you can see from it's picture, and fortunately, it works well. It is petite, which is nice for a smaller bathroom, but comfortable for a standard height toilet. We also purchased the Royal Monterey 1009 from the same manufacturer, which has a taller seat and is larger overall for our master. Both work very well, and have the same dual-flush mechanism. Now, be advised as with any toilet like these, they are a bit more difficult to install, and the instructions aren't totally clear, rife with humorous grammatical/syntax errors. However, if you are reasonably handy, you'll be fine. To make mine fit, I had to drill a couple of extra holes in the plastic mounts and trim a bit off the ends of the mounts to make them fit smoothly. This was specific to my installation situation, you may have more or less to do. But I had it set in about an hour, including the figuring-it-out bit. You'll have to test-fit it a time or two, to line up the mounts. Of the two, this was easier to install, but it was also the second one, so I had experience working for me. I have not had any problem with it clogging, unlike another reviewer. It is the best toilet I could find for the style and price, and you gotta love the dual-flush. Recommended without reservation, but with the caveat that installation may require patience.
I love this toilet. The design is beautiful and it looks great in my modern bathroom. The toilet feels is solid and the seat is very comfortable. The soft/quiet close mechanism for the seat is a nice feature. I had this installed by a professional plumber who complained a bit that its installation was non-standard. It took him about 30 minutes longer than he expected to install it and charged me 90 minutes of labor time. The plumbing seal that came with the toilet was on the cheap side so I bought a much better one from the hardware store to ensure a longer-lasting seal. The flushing power is just adequate--not particularly strong nor weak. Another reviewer commented that this toilet is "on the small side" and that it may not be suitable for larger people. Not true. I'm an average-sized American male and there's plenty of room for me. I can't even imagine the level of obesity one must achieve to not fit on this thing.
I just got the unit installed and used it few times. Fits well in small bathrooms, dual flash is working like a charm. Seat "slow closing" system is great and seat it's very comfortable. Matched with a contemporary sink made our bathroom very friendly. All hardware included made it easy to install.
Toilet is excellent, we were able to install it ourselves in less than an hour. A great addition to our powder room, we have recieved many compliments! Thanks.
I love this toilet and so do all my guests who use the bathroom. It has a very unique and expensive look. The soft closing seat is an added bonus! I also love the design at the base. Most toilets are designed with curves/grooves at the base. I hate that! with this smooth base cleaning the toilet is a breeze. The price was also very affordabe. It looks way more expensive than the actual cost. This toilet in addition to my glass shower door purchased from o.co gives my bathroom a high end feel. FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY!
Can't believe I spend this much on a toilet but it looks so cool and works great! Also the most comfortable toilet I have ever sat on. I love the height too perfect! Gives the plumber a challenge little more difficult to install than a regular toilet but worth it.
Alot more comfortable than I first thought it would be. Looks spectacular.
This prodct was as described and it looks beautiful in my bathroom. I have a small bathroom so this toilet fits perfect there and it gives it the contemporary look I desired.
product was as described. I'm remodeling my bathrooms and bought 2. They are beautiful and really make the bathrooms look great. Good quality and exactly as described.
I had my concerns when ordering this product and I should have listened to them. We had a month delay with the tile in order to install this toilet, so unfortunately the box was thrown away, otherwise I would return it. We are into over 8 hours trying to get this **** thing to work. Right now it is leaking water all over the bathroom. First it is not flat on the bottom, so if your floor is level you have to go out and buy plastic shims. Second the light flush and heavy flush, flush exactly the same, so this is a sham. Third and our problem now, is the line that goes from the water source to the toilet has a fitting that does not fit correctly into the toilet so now it is leaking. We are going to try and see today what we can do to fix this, otherwise we are out a lot of money and now have to go buy another toilet. Do not waste your time and money on this toilet. I will say one positive thing, it is pretty, too bad it doesn't work.

Re: Off Topic....Anything Goes vol3
Yay! While we are on the topic: I graduated from high school. Then had to choose between two different degrees in different cities. Went with the one where my BFF was gonna be. She moved to Spain after a year and I dropped out in the first semester of the second year. Now I am abroad studying a freaking law degree not into my native language; it is fucking hard and I hate it! Basically, I am fucked but no chance in hell of me dropping out. Oh, and I am already 21 so when I graduate I will be like a full-grown granny.
So yeah, you are not alone in your suffering, you poor confused kiddos!

Steve Farrell says:
Thousands of motorcyclists took over motorways for half-an-hour on Sunday in protest over EU plans.
Bikers made their feelings known with go-slow rides taking place simultaneously from around 100 starting points across the country.
Processions of hundreds of motorcyclists rode at 45mph for 10 miles in the EU Hands Off Biking demonstrations, organised by the Motorcycle Action Group.
In London, police stopped other traffic as...

I am very surprised to read that manufacturers are generaly in favour of the proposed legislation. I see a massive drop in sales of new bikes with this technology fitted and a resurgence in the 2nd hand market for the amazing motorcycles already available.
I have a couple of bikes, one is a carburreted V twin with very little in the way of electronics but some very tasty brakes suspension etc. The other bike , also a V twin is fuel injected, water cooled also with the tasty bits but electronically high tech too. They are both a dream to ride but if anything were to go wrong with the second one I fear it would be beyond my means to repair.
For me the level of tech may already have reached the point where I wouldnt want it to progress any further and to be honest, a trip to the showroom leaves me thinking I would love to try out the new bikes but hate to own one.
Obviusly everyone thinks differently but throw in the proposed tech from the new legislation and it might be just enough to keep the majority of us away from the showroom and buying from the classifieds.

I dont care if your young or old the idea is to all stick together over this.If this happened in France everything would stop until it was sorted & noone would get fines as in the uk for protesting,I think the biggest issue is one of not being able to maintain your own Bike, If you owned a Motor Car TV show in particular encorough the untrained to pop over to Halfords & get all the gear to change brakes etc, I spent a long apprentiship in the trade before I was allowed to carry out that sort of work to a customers car, what next work on my own Gas Boiler! Also I think that some certain Motorcycle Publications need to calm down when road testing Bikes. Ok we know what will do 200mph & have over 200bhp but for f***s sake down put it in print so the do gooders can wave it about as a stop them doing this tool,At the end of the day we all need to stand together and its not only on this issue its others too such as Fuel prices & take your helmet off or I wont serve you, get off your Bike & fill with Fuel,STICK TOGETHER LADS if thats possible in this country, Stay Safe!

The manufacturers will be in favour of it because anti-tampering rules will protect their over-priced spares racket from manufacturers of 3rd-party parts.

While MAG must be applauded for organising the demonstration rides last Sunday, I cannot help but think something more dramatic might have obtained the better results we all wanted to see achieved. I wasn't personally able to attend on Sunday and so I am relying on second-hand information, which I acknowledge is a risk. Like many other bikers, I am appalled at the proposed EU proposals and will personally do all I can to help fight these. I saw what the French bikers did to demonstrate in such huge numbers and was very impressed with the results they have obtained. Having 15,000 bikers demonstrating in Paris was a very smart move. I would suggest that getting everyone together in one place is much more effective than spreading the demonstrations out over a large number of locations as this will attract much more media attention than a few hundred bikers attending at a hundred or so different places. It is clear to me that us bikers need to fight this together and be seen as a large collection of people all demonstrating on the same issue. I want you to remember when you saw demonstrations being covered on the national TV channels – they all had large numbers attending in one location, right? They were also very well organised, with a clear start point, a well defined route and a rally at the end in one location, right? That is what we should be doing! Yes, I know that would mean many people would have to ride a long way to get to one location, but that is what we like doing – riding our bikes!
Also, I want to make a plea to anyone wanting to help in these efforts. Stop criticising each other in silly personal attacks. Solidarity is the key and the sooner there are messages of support on sites like this, the better. It doesn't matter if you are young or old, use Facebook or word of mouth. We are in this together!
I am going to contact MAG and see if I can help out in any way, and next time I will try to make sure I am in the UK on the day of the next demonstration!

Lets get one thing straight, UKIP are not racist, they are libertarian and they hate the imperialistic nature of the EU. Nigel Farage is doing a great job standing up to those jumped up eurocrats and EU laws have damaged this country beyond belief. We need a petition to LEAVE the EU not just to fight them. Have you seen what has been going on in the Eurozone recently? They want a united states of Europe. I urge everybody to vote UKIP at every single election until the political elite get the message. The EU want to get rid of any kind of culture whether it is Biker, German, Buddhist, whatever. They want everyone to conform to a boring beehive with queen bee located in Brussels. Think communist China rule and think ruthless freemarket America, combine the two and you get the EU vision. With Europhiliac Limp dims in government this country is no more.

I was at the Chester Services demo on the M53 and agree that it was heartening to see such a good turnout, but was surprised how little organisation there was. I saw several riders take to the outside lane and park there, probably because no-one told them not to. I didn't get the impression that many of the cars we slowed down had any idea why they were in a traffic jam, much less that it was caused by bikes. With the lack of media presence, we just didn't present any kind of unified group or cause.
There were T-shirts for sale to wear over leathers but not nearly enough were available, and anyway let's face it, how many people will spend and extra £5 for a shirt they'll never wear again. Something like a big sticker every rider could slap on their back would have worked better.
And while I think that One Big protest probably won't work here (too spread out, often poor weather to discourage riding long distances and with petrol too expensive as well), I do think that fewer demonstration locations with more riders attending each would be better, say a half-dozen, rather than several dozen! Surely fewer, much larger groups would get the notice of the media better?

As mentioned on here already - the main problem is the police , told by their masters to harass us , as they did with the truckers in the fuel protests . And if things esculate , the powers that be will be waiting with more made up laws that were made for something entirely different . We will have to get our thinking caps on , and come up with some more idea"s . The "send a letter to your M.P. " I am afraid will not work , you have to get 100,000 signatures to spark a vote in Westminster , most of our fellow bikers cannot be bothered . And I live in Yorkshire , so the U.K.I.P. vote from here is a no -go , they would vote for anything wearing a red rose in it"s button hole ,rather than a straight thinking political party ? .

Bank of America adds monthly fee
Starting next year, the $5 charge will hit most customers who buy things with debit cards.
The Dow Jones news service uncovered the plans after seeing an internal memo sent to bank executives Thursday. It's safe to say that customers will be outraged if the new charges start early next year as planned.
The fee will kick in only during the months when customers use their debit cards to make a purchase, Dow Jones reports. If you use your debit card only at an ATM, you won't get charged.
Check out the following video about hedge funds starting to invest in Bank of America at super-low prices.
Post continues below.
The bank is in bad shape. Its stock has been hammered, it's getting sued left and right, and its credit rating was cut recently. Desperate to shore up cash, it plans to lay off 30,000 workers. B of A shares rose nearly 3% to $6.34 on the news Thursday.
"The economics of offering a debit card have changed," a bank spokeswoman told Reuters.
Perhaps the bank could raise the fees for merchants who accept debit cards? Nope. The Federal Reserve Board said that, starting Oct. 1, the maximum fees merchants will pay is 24 cents per debit transaction. The current average is 44 cents, based on the $38 average debit purchase.
Those new limits will cut Bank of America's annual revenue by $2 billion. So the bank is looking to recoup that money on the customer end of the transaction. It's too bad, because debit cards have become a convenient replacement for checks at stores and restaurants.
Will customers stand for this? I'm going to start using my no-annual-fee credit card more, which gives me points as well. And there's always plain old cash. Customers with certain premium accounts won't get hit with the fee.
And you can be sure that if Bank of America does this, other banks are sure to follow. Most banks are going to feel the pain of the new Federal Reserve transaction limits. Wells Fargo (WFC) will start testing a $3 fee in several states. And JPMorgan Chase (JPM) has begun a similar test in Wisconsin.
Take your money OUT of BoA, move it to a local Credit union or small bank, and let the elite of BoA die off.
I've put up with BofA fees for far too many years as it is, I am changing to a credit union this month as soon as my home loan closes and I dont have to worry about where all my money is for reporting purposes.
Feels like highway robbery to charge me to access my own money, when banks accrue interest gained on the savings I keep as a monthly balance.
BofA: you never gain fans in your customers by nickle and diming us to death. Thanks for the 15 year run as a customer, but unfortunately I am going to a local credit union.
Time to start a grass roots effort to not only help the economy but also show BIG BANKs that consumers do have some clout!!!
Take your money out of the big banks, deposit it in small community banks or credit unions which are more likely to make loans to small businesses who then can hire more employees and perhaps help get our economy back on track.
Bank of UNAmerica paid 4.4 BILLION dollars in bonuses last year to its top executives. Now, they have to lay off 30,000 employees? Why don't they just take the money back from the fat PIGS who didn't deserve it. 4.4 BILLION dollars for ruining a company.
Leave them. THEY ARE CROOKS FULL OF FRAUD. Here is what they did to ME when I closed my accounts. I go to the branch to close my accounts. I had everything consolidated into my checking account. She pulls it up on the screen and says, "OK, I see the consolidation. Oh, there is some interest that is due to be paid on your account (couple of PENNIES) that I will add in. I will be right back with your check."
I get my check and leave. 2 weeks later, I get my monthly statement showing that a $25.00 OVERDRAFT CHARGE had been applied against my line of credit the same NIGHT that I closed my account. The brach rep OVERDREW MY ACCOUNT BY ONE PENNY. The "cents" amount of the check should have been .07 and she wrote the check for .08. This means:
SHE wrote down .08 instead of .07 on the withdrawl slip and CHECKED IT.
She then gave it to the TELLER who ALLOWED the FRAUD to happen when SHE double checked it and created the check.
The MANAGER then verifed and APPROVED it by SIGNING the check and gave it to me.
THREE PEOPLE clearly saw that the amount was wrong and allowed it to happen. The $25.00 was posted to my BOA Credit account as a "cash advance" which means the 29.99% interest rate starts IMMEDIATELY from posting, PLUS the overdraft FEE that was charged to my account.
I REFUSE to accept this as a "mistake" as THREE DIFFERENT PEOPLE looked at the withdrawl slip, looked at the account on the computer screen and verified it.
Bank of CROOKS. Bank of THIEVES. LET THEM FAIL.
If B of A is hurting now , just wait till the debit card fee goes into effect. They are losing money so the only way they can figure to minimize the loss is to gouge their customers with a fee ?? Without customers the bank will FAIL!!! Guess they didn't factor that into their "business plan"
Time to start looking for another bank.
Use cash or go to a nonprofit Credit Union. If you are a true capitalist you should reward institutions that are responsible, and punish irresponsible ones.
No more Bush or Obama bucks for BoA
this is the final straw...i will be closing all my accounts with BOA! Enough is enough....they keep taking from the little guy to pay the big bonuses and wages to the top of their food chain, who are ulitmately responsible for their debt in the first place. They get rewarded for bad business practices that they should have been fired for, and keep taking from those of us who can't afford to live as it is.
They led us down this path of using our debit cards exclusively, instead of cash and instead of checks, and now they want to charge us for that...I for one am done.
I am APPALLED at the new $5 fee that will go into effect for all debit card transactions for all of your customers. I mean, seriously, are you all ****ing idiots at your company? I am a hard working 24 year old making $30,000 a year at a company that I am lucky to be employed at especially in this economy. It sickens me that you expect me to pay $5 EVERY MONTH FOR 12 MONTHS A YEAR totalling $60 that I could better use somewhere else like say my cell phone bill or the numerous student loans I incurred from putting myself through college to have a better life. Take this bank and shove it up your asses because I am definitely considering and probably will move to another bank, one free of taking my hard earned money to use for "your losses". Tell that to the 30,000 people you laid off, I'm sure they feel great about knowing they were fired to "save your company money" and to also charge us $5 every damn month. And if you think that you won't lose customers over this, guess again. If you check your latest story on the MSN home page and all the comments listed below it you will find other customers who are just as angry as I am and are already moving to another bank. Way to go Bank of America, I hope you're set for losing a bunch of customers so tell your customer service agents not to be too surprised when people call in to close their accounts. I hope they can hide the shock and surprise from me over the phone because they should not be and if they ask me the reason why, I'm going to tell them the truth about you ****ing blood suckers and encourage them to go to a different company who do not take pride in firing people and charging their customers money even though they probably have millions of dollars probably stashed in secret accounts in Switzerland. In my family alone I have six people and five are through Bank of America. You can kiss those five accounts goodbye.

4 ways to fight off credit card debtWhy are younger generations racking up a bigger bill when it comes to borrowing? Researchers hypothesize that since credit is more easily accessible than it's ever been, there's now less of a stigma attached to being in debt.
Are you crippled by your credit card? Younger Americans rack up more credit card debt than their elders and are slower at paying it off, according to a new study in Economic Inquiry.
1. Don't pick a card you can't handle.
Not all cards are created equal, so you'll want to shop around for one that best fits your situation, Chatzky says. Look for a credit card that has no annual fee, a low interest rate--Chatzky says 14 percent is the average right now--and a few additional benefits, like a cash back program. Pro tip: Compare the perks (and problems) of hundreds of cards across the board on LowCards.com.
2. Don't carry your card to the bar.
Chatzky's go-to rule is simple, but it still trips up young guys everywhere: Charge only as much as you can pay off every month. "It gets to be very expensive when you cannot pay off these balances," she explains. But if you can't abide by that black and white standard, you at least need to set limitations on what you'll use the card for. For example, don't charge frequent, small items like groceries, dinner bills, and bar tabs to the card. (You'll hit your monthly limit in a week that way.) But that pricey plane ticket home? Fair game, as long as you have the means to pay it off in a reasonable time.
3. Don't settle for the minimum payment.
In the Economic Inquiry study, researchers found that when the minimum monthly payment was raised just a little, people ended up paying back even more, which resulted in getting out of debt quicker. Plus, if you're merely paying the minimum, you're just hurting your bottom line. "Minimum payments are really only meant to keep people paying interest for more years than needed," says Chatzky.
4. Don't fall for scams.
Sometimes credit companies will send a check along with your monthly statements, lending you a hefty amount of money to use up front. "Just shred the check," says Chatzky. It's called a cash advantage, and it basically allows you to borrow a large chunk of money from the lender that has an extremely high interest rate tacked on to it, she explains.

I had missed my stop in the freezing weather and decided to reroute and walk to the nearest coffee shop I saw. Our Town Cafe's warmth oozed through its windows and welcomed me in.
It instantly became my new favourite study corner. The service was awesome, free Wi-Fi, and a good selection of gluten free food!
I was starving and needed to line my stomach for a long night of studying so I went for a Tuna Panini. It too awhile to heat up but well worth it! Filled with sweet chilli tuna, provolone cheese, spinach, and a few other things I can't recall but it was pure love. Coffee was also good! (great deal on refills)
For desert: a peanut butter cookie. Soft and crumbling in a chewy way. Perfect.
I can't wait to come back and try all the other panini pressed goods!

When you have fleas in your home, you will often find bite itchy marks on your lower legs and ankles. If you are reading this article, I don't have to tell how incredibly irritating this is. Luckily, there are some ways to prevent fleas from biting you.
This article will cover why fleas bite humans, what attracts fleas, and we will go over some of the most effective flea repellents for humans. Find out how these flea repellents work, and read product reviews.
End the Infestation
While flea repellents do work, the best way to stop fleas from biting you is to kill the fleas in your house. Read about different ways to get rid of fleas. No more fleas = no more bites. Easy math. Using flea repellent can still be help though. It will give you some relief from from the fleas biting you while you eradicate the infestation. Plus, you will protect yourself from getting any flea transmitted diseases.
Why Fleas Bite Humans
Why are fleas biting you? Because you taste like bacon. Seriously though, fleas need to obtain blood meals for subsistence, and to be able to reproduce. Without the iron and protein found in blood, fleas would not be able to lay eggs. As soon as a new adult flea hatches, it needs to find a blood meal within a week or it will die.
Why do they attack humans though, and not other animals? There are thousands of different species of fleas through out the world, and each species is specially adapted to target one type of host. There are humans fleas, dog fleas, cat fleas, rat fleas, etc. Even though these species of fleas prefer a certain host, they will still also bite humans (as well as other animals).
What Attracts Fleas
By knowing what attracts fleas, you can better understand how to repel them. Fleas are attracted to warm blooded animals, because this is their food source. They have special sensors that can detect heat, carbon dioxide, and blood. All of these things let the flea know that a warm bodied animal is nearby. Besides food, fleas are also looking for shelter and breeding grounds. Read our article on what attracts fleas.
Best Flea Repellent for Humans
Permethrin Spray
One of the best repellents for fleas (as well as other insects) is called permethrin. This a synthetic chemical that is derived from a plant's natural organic compounds. This chemical works as both an insecticide and as an insect repellent. It works by targeting a flea's nervous system, causing nerves to fire rapidly resulting in death. The chemical is not very toxic to humans, and does not absorb well through skin. Even so, it is best to apply it to clothes. Focus on your shoes, socks, and pants, because this is where fleas commonly bite people.
DEET Insect Repellent
DEET is another common ingredient used in all kinds of insect repellents. It works on mosquitoes, ticks, biting flies, and of course fleas. You probably recognize it from mosquito repellents. This Ultrathon lotion by 3M works by releasing the DEET slowly over time for long lasting protection. It is safe to apply this lotion directly to your skin. Again, focus on legs, ankles, as well as other areas that are prone to getting flea bites. This will keep the fleas at bay while you work on stopping the infestation.
Skin-so-Soft Bath Oil
Skin-so-soft bath oil by Avon might not seem like a product that would work to repel insects, but it does. It has long been used as an insect repellent, and is very commonly used to stop fleas from biting humans. Check out the customer reviews. In fact, it is so commonly used for insect repellent, Avon created it in a spray bottle. It will also work to keep other insects from biting such as mosquitoes and deer flies. Plus, you can get some softer skin when using this oil!
