Spacious 2000+ sq ft, 11 room, elegant and historic vacation residence at the center of Old Québec's magnificent architectural treasurers, located on a quiet, centrally-located street within the ancient city walls; at the heart of the the Old City's UNESCO World Heritage Site and overlooking Upper Town's only memorial square.
With next door 'neighbors' including the 1804 Holy Trinity Cathedral just across the square, the 1722 Ursulines Chapel, Museum and Monastery right across the street, the world famous Musee d'art Inuit Brousseau at the end of the street, Battlefields Park (the world's tenth largest city park) just up the hill, Notre-Dame Basilica-Cathedral just down the street ...and the oldest building in the province (known as la Maison Jaquet) simply around the corner; this vacation residence is at the heart of the Old City
The Neighborhood: Located on a quiet Upper Town street at the heart of the Old City's UNESCO World Heritage Site, the entrance to la Maison Ursulines incorporates the 'Grand Level' or first level of a keyed building constructed of cut granite in the Neoclassical tradition. Upon entering the building's interior foyer, you are greeted by a pair of carved wood and stained glass entry doors leading to a private interior foyer ...that of the residence of Louis-Philippe Pelletier, Quebec's Supreme Court judge in the 1890s and the judge in the famous trial of the King versus Marie-Anne Houde.

Grand & Lower Levels ...The Best Of Both Worlds: The 'Grand Level' has 12 foot ceilings plus restored original Corinthian details and includes the private interior foyer, a living room with 9-foot high shuttered windows (overlooking Upper Town's charming square), a formal dining room (with seating for 10 or 12), a complete kitchen, breakfast room off of the kitchen, a full bath and a library/office. Floors are antique narrow-strip polished natural finish Canadian maple.
The 'Lower Level' presents an intimate ambiance with its profusion of rustic stone walls, decorative fireplace and hued wood beams. The three bedrooms all have clerestory windows and polished walnut finished wood floors. The bathroom on this level is inset into a room with exposed stone walls and features one of two contemporary glass shower stalls, ceramic tile floors and a refurbished period claw-foot tub.
Decorated with antiques, 'over stuffed' country French furnishings and an eclectic art collection; it's a sophisticated yet very comfortable environment.
The Seasons: The Summer Season
Reserve this elegant vacation residence for an unforgettable visit. The summer months are a wonderfully mild season in this magical city with special events daily including New France Historical Celebrations just down the hill and the Changing of the Guard just up the hill in La Citadelle. Throughout the summer, the Old City overflows with window boxes and hanging flower baskets.
The 'Off' Seasons
If art collecting, antiquing, or a quiet romantic get-away's the goal, consider booking a stay during our off seasons. The crowds are gone as the locals 'retake' the cafes and Old Québec slows down to a pace that matches the changing seasons. It's a great way to sample the town's timeless European tempo.
What a beautifully appointed home: gorgeous antiques and soooo comfortable. It was a pleasure to stay here. Go to 12 Petite Champlain which is the Marie Clarisse Restaurant. Have bouilliabaise (sp?). Thank you for sharing your home. Bruce A., Florida
We had a wonderful time in Quebec City, and the best part was staying in your lovely home. We found the house very comfortable and convenient to many places. The people there were very friendly and enjoyed just listening to French conversations everywhere we went. We wished that we could speak the language ourselves.
Thanks again, Jeff
The rental is presented as 4 star residence but truly is very clean perfectly located basement apartment with all 3 bedrooms located at the lower level and nicely appointed main level which can not be considered living space.
It will comfortably fit 6 people and maybe 1 more child. But then you need to be aware of the staircase that could be an obstacle for some.
But the main problem is the owner who is extremely easy to connect with when he is trying to sell you the rental and then very unresponsive when time comes to return the deposit.
He tends to forget paperwork also. I would strongly suggest paying with credit card in order to have some insurance.
Overall I would give this place a 3 star.
The property is centrally located with only a few blocks walk to most things (like Paillard our favorite breakfast and dessert spot and the Saint Amour which is terrific for a real splurge dinner that's worth the money). It's located off the main road and with the thick stone walls you hear no street noise. It's beautifully furnished and spotless. The showers are powerful and there was plenty of hot water for the four of us. I wouldn't recommend it for travelers who aren't steady on their feet as there is a 9" step into the kitchen and first floor bathroom and spiral stairs to the lower level bedrooms. But for anyone else it would be ideal. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were comfortably cooled by the fans in each room. Definitely check out the Ursaline Museum next door (this house used to be their administration building). Homeowner, and local contact were all very responsive and informative. Quebec City is a great place to visit and this was a terrific place to stay.
Our group of six adults have recently spent a memorable week at la Maison Ursaline in Quebec City. We thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful, comfortable home. It combined modern comfort and amenities with "just the right" amount of elegance in antiques, artwork and the antiquity of the building. I felt like I was in a "special" place for a week, and I was. The incredibly convenient location in Old Quebec-puts all of the sites, shops, museums, and many great restaurants right outside your doorstep. This being our first visit, we loved Quebec City, the history, beauty, and "old world" ambiance. Enjoyed the tour of the Citadelle very much. Even the weather cooperated during our visit (early June),
I would recommend this lovely home, without hesitation, for people who enjoy comfort and convenience. Carol & Ed Sweeney, who greeted us upon arrival, could not have been more accomodating and helpful.
Paul and Cindy,
Just wanted to follow up with you and let you know what a wonderful time we had in Quebec City at Maison Ursulines. What a great house and what a great spot! We enjoyed all of the lovely spaces in the home. Dining room was our favorite hangout!
Quebec City was just as beautiful as I remembered it even if it did rain every minute that we were there. Didn't hinder us at all. Carol and Ed were lovely and very helpful.
The only down side to our trip is that one of our traveling companions ended up in the hospital ( complications from a recent surgery she had) the night before we were heading to Quebec and was not able to make the trip with us. She was very disappointed! We hope to make it back to Quebec someday and will certainly keep Maison Ursulines in mind. Margaret
This place is brilliant. It is located in the best position in the old city. The presentation of the condo is beautiful. Dont waste your money on a hotel, this is too good too miss. Right from the beginning we had great communication, and were greeted on arrival (at night) by a lovely couple. We have to children 9 & 11 and they also had a great time. This is without a lie one of the best private condo's I have ever stayed at. Thanks Paul & Cindy.
At the center of the Quebec UNESCO World Heritage Site and within two blocks of le Chateau, this 2000+ sq ft, 11 room historic vacation residence is within the Old City's ancient city fortifications and is at the heart of Quebec's historical architectural treasurers.
La Maison Ursulines' views include the Upper Town square and monument decicated to education, the 1804 Holy Trinity Cathedral, the 1722 Ursulines Chapel, Museum and Monastery ...all in the shadow of The Price Tower, the Prime Minister's penthouse residence.
Other Activities: dog-sledding, snow mobile, snow-shoeing, wildlife viewing, whale watching day trips
Ski: La Maison Ursulines offers the best location for 24-hour fun and activities. Located right in the heart of Old Quebec, the dining and night life is exceptional; yet this special accommodation is only a short drive (or shuttle ride) from the world-class skiing adventures at Mt. Ste. Anne, Stoneham, Tewkesbury and la Massif.
It's also never too early to consider a winter fun and ski get-away. This vacation residence is an ideal balance between close-by world class ski / snowboard destinations and great in-town night life ...the ski slopes of Mont St. Anne and Stoneham and Jacques-Cartier National Park are a mere 25 minutes away; le Massif is just a bit further down the road.
For a truly French/European Christmas season, reserve this special home in December and have a magical holiday.

G20 sets the stage for bold new deal for refugees – but offers little impetus toward a deal on climate change
The G20 leaders' summit has made welcome progress in tackling the refugee crisis while also taking tentative steps towards addressing the gap between rich and poor. However, the G20 has done little to build momentum toward an ambitious climate deal.

Today Lyrics
Artist: The Clarks
Album: I'll Tell You What Man...
Well they come from miles around
Just to listen to the sound
On a train and getting close
Caravan from coast to coast
And she hears a little voice
Gettin drunk and makin noise
And the band has come to play
Gone tomorrow, here today
When the day comes to an end
On the tracks up around the bend
People ask and you'll receive
Just don't ask to ever leave
'Cause this day comes once a year
And today it seems so clear
When the day comes to an end
On the tracks up around the bend
The tradition carries on
As the train drives through the dawn

Energy-Efficient Area Coverage in Heterogeneous Energy Wireless Sensor Networks
Sensing coverage and energy consumption are two primary issues in wireless sensor networks. Sensing coverage is closely related to network energy consumption. The performance of a sensor network depends to a large extent on the sensing coverage, and its lifetime is determined by its energy consumption. In this paper, an energy-efficient Area Coverage protocol for Heterogeneous Energy sensor networks (ACHE) is proposed. ACHE can achieve a good performance in terms of sensing area coverage, lifetime by minimizing energy consumption for control overhead, and balancing the energy load among all nodes.

Skip to comments.Glenn Beck Now !! Unions Preparing to Collapse Economy in May (25 minute tape)
Posted on 03/22/2011 6:18:22 AM PDT by Scythian
This could be the most important story of this decade.
How would we know?
It's on tape, he's playing it now ...
American's planning to collapse economy, bringing down banks on purpose ....
any information?
one tape where some low-level lefty dreams about that or some more serious proof?
bump for later
This is pretty interesting...they should be on their way to prison.
Listening now!
Obozo beat them to it, but it's the thought that counts.
In brief, they are planning to launch a campaign attacking J.P. Morgan Chase (perhaps the strongest bank out there) as a primary target. The idea is to get people to stop paying their mortgages and ultimately to bring down the banking industry.
Glenn Beck is playing the tape on his radio show right now.
What tape? You linked to his radio show and he is just gibber jabbing right now.
Really? I just linked the link and there was no tape.
you are simply spamming a link to some website and not giving out any details.
Glenn says tape is being turned over to the Justice Department, God Bless Glenn Beck for his Bravery.
Step 1. Collapse the System.
Step 2. ????
Step 3. Profit.
This must be what he was talking about yesterday.
He better work on his tan first, if he wants a positive reception.
The tape is there now....
Yes. I got that but he is just talking and he is not playing this BREAKING tape.
I love it when valued forum members since 2009 attack people who've been here since the beginning.
And the media looks the other way. Besides, look who is in charge of the DOJ. Nothing will be done. It's time to say enough is enough, but what can the average American do?
The zombie apocalypse is coming. "Zombies" meaning the violent brain dead left.
You have to go to http://www.theblaze.com to hear the tape...
In WI a bank had to close early one day last week because all the police officers in that town went to remove their money because the bank would not put up pro-union signs. I think it was M&I Bank - not sure of the town. My brother a police officer told me about it so I am pretty sure the story is legit.
What happens after the Unions collapse the economy???
1) After the fighting and bloodshed, a dictator will emerge.
2) One of the first objectives of a dictator is to consolidate power.
3) The first people eliminated are professional agitators which include union leaders,lawyers,media talking heads,academia which are often the far left primary members.
4) Dictators need the economy to start up again, so much of the productive class-mostly conservative—are spared from the purges.
The left are slitting their own throats in a vain attempt to create Utopia.
nothing but a commercial for a alternative to AARP
anyone have a direct link.
Listen to the 25 minute plan to destroy American here
Here's a link to the tape (in part) at least
And the feds had the nerve to go after that silver coin guy for "domestic terrorism" claiming he was "undermining" our currency.
Where is the FBI now?
Well after listening for 15 min, he referred to it then did 5 min of ads, and referred to a bunch of stuff "this tape is important" but never heard the tape so I turned it off.
The poster linked to the show not the tape.
Seems like there are potential crimes being contemplated here...
1) Intent to defraud
2) Organizing a criminal organization
3) RICO violations
Good luck with that.
Thanks for posting. Listening now. HOORAY Glenn Beck! Glenn Beck is OUTSTANDING!
Glenn Beck delayed in Boise. Rebroadcast starts at 9am Mountain Time.
Internet stream will be available here: http://www.580kido.com/pages/main
Pick the 580 stream in the top left.
Glenn Beck - the anti-birther along with O Reilly, Coulter, Ingraham, Boortz, Hewitt, Medved and a few others. Prince Al Waleed's media puppets for Obama.
Eric Holder? Yeah, that's going to get results.
So why didn't you post this in the first place, instead of a link to the radio show.
Because it wasn't up on The Blaze yet. Jeeze.
Listening to the audio it sounds like they intend to inflict great pain on the American people through things like destabilizing the housing market and doubling the default rate.
That's just one small part of their plan.

All Product Details
In the thirty years after the Civil War, the United States blew by Great Britain to become the greatest economic power in world history. That is a well-known period in history, when titans like Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, and J.P. Morgan walked the earth.
But as Charles R. Morris shows us, the platform for that spectacular growth spurt was built in the first half of the century. By the 1820s, America was already the world's most productive manufacturer, and the most intensely commercialized society in history. The War of 1812 jumpstarted the great New England cotton mills, the iron centers in Connecticut and Pennsylvania, and the forges around the Great Lakes. In the decade after the War, the Midwest was opened by entrepreneurs. In this beautifully illustrated book, Morris paints a vivid panorama of a new nation buzzing with the work of creation. He also points out the parallels and differences in the nineteenth century American/British standoff and that between China and America today.
From the bestselling author of The Trillion Dollar Meltdown and The Tycoons comes the fascinating, panoramic story of the rise of American industry between the War of 1812 and the Civil War

AbstractNew multiscale modeling capability for analyzing advanced Hall thrusters is proposed. This technology offers NASA the ability to reduce development effort of new high power Hall thrusters, and reduce system complexity and increase system lifetime and durability. Historically, efforts to model Hall thrusters utilized either hybrid/fluid approach which reduce computational overhead but rely on analytical fits, or required prohibitive computational resources to model thrusters self-consistently. Even with the use of large supercomputers, the self-consistent approach was limited to small, low power thrusters. We propose a new approach in which electron transport along magnetic field lines is computed self-consistently using a kinetic code for electrons, but global cross-field properties are computed using a 2D hybrid code. This approach combines the benefits of fully kinetic self-consistent modeling with the performance gain of hybrid models. The model will be able to analyze Hall thruster discharges without requiring any user-specified mobility fits. The model will also require only computational resources available in a standard desktop workstation. In addition, ions exiting the thruster will be sampled to generate a discretized source model for use with subsequent thruster plume modeling. Plume modeling is necessary to optimize thruster spacecraft coupling, and reduce possible instrument and spacecraft component contamination effects. These three components, magnetic field line, thruster discharge, and the spacecraft environment, form the three scales of our multiscale approach. In this effort we will concentrate on extending the capability of modeling thruster discharges by developing a new light-weight hybrid code with built in support for kinetic mobility modeling.

Ok, so basically I am not really sure why I made this profile. I wrote a couple of super gay songs and also recorded one traditional Icelandic song and uh eventually enough people told me it sounded half decent that I started to believe them.
So heres a bit of info about the tracks I uploaded. Sofðu unga ástin mín is a traditional Icelandic lullaby, but doesn't it sound way too creepy for that? I wouldn't sleep... but anyway, the arrangement is by Richard Simm and the remix is by Tom Knight. I wish I had a real orchestra, but I even sold off my violin to pay for art school so hey, you get midi yo.
The second track is something I wrote in the middle of the night in a super emo moment, the guitar is my own, and no, I don't really know how to play the guitar, am trying to teach myself with little results... Oh well. Mixed with Garageband its totally one helluva emo fricking DIY job.
Oh yeah and my day job? Studying animation...and design and stuff. All thats on www.helenasia.com

Skip to comments.Colorado to Consider Controversial Vaccination Law: Is Not Wanting to Vaccinate a Parental Right?
Posted on 03/24/2014 7:17:04 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
Colorado's House Health Insurance and Environment Committee has passed a bill that would make it more difficult for parents to opt out of the state's child vaccination requirement. The bill would mandate a state-sponsored education program for parents who don't want their child vaccinated and would force those parents to "acquire the signature of a health care professional confirming disclosure of possible health risks 'to the student and the community.'
Similar measures have passed in three other states, while many other states are considering the question of mandatory vaccinations for school attendance.
The debate in Colorado was passionate.
State Rep. Dan Pabon (D) proposed the bill to ensure that parents are more informed and "that they're not just opting out simply because of convenience," according to the Denver Post.
"Vaccine refusal results in higher rates of vaccine-preventable disease," Pabon said. "This is a public health issue. These are very serious diseases."
Colorado has the sixth-highest rate of non-vaccinated public school kindergarteners. The bill will also mandate all licensed schools and day care centers to release public records on the percentages of their non-vaccinated children.
"There are kids who can't get vaccinated because they're immuno-compromised and are being exposed to vaccine-preventable diseases, Pabon argued on Thursday. To add on top of that, older populations that have medical conditions are also at risk."
Although the bill would not eliminate the personal belief exemption, parents opposing the legislation argued that increased education mandates could lead to the erosion of parental rights during Thursdays testimony before lawmakers.
"Parents have a constitutional right to parent their children," Susan Lawson, whose daughter developed encephalitis after a routine vaccine when she was a year old, told CBS Denver. "I am not an uneducated woman."
Anti-vaccination advocacy group National Vaccine Information Center has also attacked the proposal as one that singles out and discriminates against a minority of parents with sincerely held personal beliefs by assuming they are uneducated and should be forced into a state approved education program.
When my mother heard of the breakthrough by Jonas Salk in developing a vaccination against polio, she fell to her knees and thanked God for his mercy. We, today, have absolutely no conception of the rank fear that gathered in the breasts of parents prior to the polio vaccine. Every cold in our family would put her on edge. And all of us grew up in an age before vaccines for measles, mumps, and whooping cough. These diseases were — and are — childhood killers. I'm sure the controversy today over vaccines would perplex her to no end.
The odds of a child dying from measles are 50 times greater than the child experiencing any life-threatening side effects from that vaccine. Prior to 1963 before the vaccine was introduced, there were 4 million cases of measles per year in the U.S. with an average of 450 deaths. On the other hand, there are severe reactions to the MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella) in only 1 of about 2 million doses. What rational parent makes a choice not to vaccinate their children?
The supposed link between autism and vaccinations has been debunked over and over, and yet the belief still persists. The Centers for Disease Control examined the question of autism and the safety of vaccines in general:
Evidence from several studies examining trends in vaccine use and changes in autism frequency does not support such an association between thimerosal and autism. Furthermore, a scientific reviewExternal Web Site Icon by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) concluded that "the evidence favors rejection of a causal relationship between thimerosalcontaining vaccines and autism." CDC supports the IOM conclusion that there is no relationship between vaccines containing thimerosal and autism rates in children.
The IOM also recently conducted a thorough review of the current medical and scientific evidence on vaccines and certain health events that may be observed after vaccination. It released a report in August 2011 on 8 vaccines given to children and adults that found the vaccines to be generally safe and serious adverse events following these vaccinations to be rare.
We are paying a price for our scientific ignorance. Parents who don't have their children immunized do so largely because they think the diseases are wiped out or there is little chance their children will be infected. But because of falling rates of vaccinations among children, these diseases are making a roaring comeback:
Measles, mumps, whooping cough all deadly diseases. Until recently, they were virtually eliminated thanks to vaccines that prevent kids from getting sick.
But now doctors see an alarming trend more and more people are coming down with these diseases.
Kids die from measles on a regular basis. Kids are in hospitals and can die from whooping cough very commonly. So these kids are at risk, said Dr. Scott Krugman, Chairman, Department of Pediatrics, MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center.
Here in Maryland, cases of whooping cough are skyrocketing tripling from 123 cases in 2011 to nearly 370 last year. Outbreaks of measles and mumps have swept through states across the country.
The explanations made by parents for not vaccinating their kids are pathetic, as you'll see on the next page.
So, if these diseases can be prevented by a vaccine, why is a growing number of parents not getting their children the shots? Some fear the vaccines can do more harm than good.
These vaccines and all of these doses also can be deadly, an Annapolis mom said.
After researching vaccines and talking with doctors, an Annapolis mom decided not to vaccinate her young children. She asked WJZ to hide her identity because other parents are angry her kids could put their kids in danger.
Bui: What happened that led you to make this decision not to vaccinate your kids?
Annapolis mom: It just didnt make sense to me. I didnt understand why a little human had to get so many drugs at one time.
She believes her familys healthy lifestyle will keep her children from getting sick. But most doctors insist thats not enough.
Maybe she should consider hiring a shaman to ward off the evil spirits. Works just as well as eating arugula.
I suppose you could make the argument that the CDC is in the pockets of Big Pharma and are doing their bidding by cooking the books on vaccines. I've seen it all over the internet and in emails so I know that someone is reading that crap. And, if you wished, you could ignore the studies done by respected scientific organizations (or similarly lump them in with the CDC as doing Big Pharma's bidding) that say there is no causal link between vaccines and autism, and substitute pseudo-scientific pronouncements from people selling a book or product, telling you not to vaccinate your kids.
You can choose to believe anything you want. But when your beliefs place others in danger, that is a moral and civic wrong. Yes, you are free to parent your children any way you please. But you are not free to endanger the lives of others. Not getting your children vaccinated is an unconscionable omission and sending parents to school in order to try to knock some sense into their heads is the least the state can do to protect children from their stupidity.
My family does.
I remember, in the second grade, my class and other classes in my school were sent home because a child had been diagnosed with polio. Two weeks later, when we returned, we found out that two of our classmates would not be coming back as they were never going to walk again. Polio left them paralyzed.
It scared the geebees out of me. I was so thankful the following year when they announced a polio vaccine and we lined up to receive our polio shots. As a 7 or 8 year old kid, I think that was the only time I wanted a shot.
If it is not then we open the door to the state being able to tell us what kind of medical treatments we must give our children.
Soon we end up with things like what happened to Justina Pelletie happening with no place to appeal.
Once you say a parent must do what the state wants in an area it is not long before you have no rights at all in that area.
People are so hateful about this issue so it doesn't get anywhere.
It's black and white, no questions asked, when, in fact, it is grey.
Parents have a responsibility to not expose kids their own children go to school with. That is where the fight starts.
If we were to approach it from the point of view that people, parents, could have domain over their own health and that of their children, it could be discussed rationally. But people have given responsibility of their health over to the medical community, and, now, the government.
If it were discussed, people could make decisions and choices.
A school has the right to expect basic protection for their kids and should have the option of requiring vaccination
Day care center planning sets the schedule to some degree.
Parents do have the right to choose vaccination, societal pressure takes that away. I few were to look at the schedule of vaccination form an intelligent point of view, it could be managed. Look at research. look at how other countries manage it, particularly countries whose citizens use their freedom to collaborate with medicine industry to make choices. for ex., when I, a health care professional, ask the pediatrician why my newborn needs a hepB shot one hour after birth, I get humiliation, berating, refusal, abuse and condescension, in front of my spouse. But the question is not answered. That's where Obamacare is apparent. Not Obamacare itself, but its roots.
In researching when Japanese or German kids get their shots, weighed against incidence of disease outbreaks/management there is no reason a kid who's staying home with mom for five years needs to have five painful shots one hour after birth, taxing his immune system.
Then there's the conversation that needs to be had regarding additives. WE know the pharmaceutical industry is a huge liar. We know they are not about healing but about thriving on illness. We know they and the FDA work together and without us. We know the medical industry cares nothing for parents' concerns, and they treat people who ask questions with more suspicion and ridicule than the IRS does a conservative. And we know the pharmaceutical industry has some bad mistakes on their record.
We know there is a high rate of autism. Baby boomers like me knew kids, we grew up in a kids world, cat in the hat no parents, six kids to a family. Now with two kids to a family we know, I know kids with autism, boys, at a rate now of 600% more than what we knew growing up.
Everyone can yell and deny, but that doesn't fix the problem NOR cause us to pretend it's not true.
If we could look at all of this, we could get to what is causing that, and we could look at the unnecessary incidence of ultrasound on fetuses. Unless there is reason to believe there could and should be prenatal surgery done on the fetus, an ultrasound is unnecessary. No one looks at this. But bombarding these kids with ultrasound waves can not be good for them, just at least.
Most people who choose not to vaccinate aren't fearing the chemical itself : All medicines are complex and mysterious and we simply don't understand them.
And when compared to the Polio vaccine or the vaccines of yesteryear - Modern vaccinations have more influence from the government than from our doctors. And therein is the problem. We see new data that links serious issues to the vaccine - And the government telling us to take them. When the government tells you to do something, It's NEVER in your best interest.
Lastly, These forms also have lines that say things like "I understand that opting out of a vaccination program puts my child's life and health at risk" and then it requires signature. What you're doing is signing your kids away. You're signing a piece of paper that will allow the state to come and take the kids. That's intolerable.
I choose not to vaccinate now. I have vaccinations from when I was a kid but those vaccines are different than what we are facing these days. It's a totally different ballgame.
I'm 71 and remember how happy my parents and I were when development of the Salk vaccine was announced. Going to the doctor at age 7 to get the shot was pure pleasure. No joke and no crying.
"Once you say a parent must do what the state wants in an area it is not long before you have no rights at all in that area."
OK Then I don't want to be responsible for paying that parents' medical bills when that child contracts a preventable disease. Let the child die at home with their parents watching.
You and me, too.
Have you thought this desire through?
This reminds me of a case in Indiana when I lived there. A local kid came down with diabetes. The family refused to go to a doctor and prayed for him. He died. I noticed that the father (in pictures) had glasses. Evidently medical devices were OK for him, but not the kid. He was let off with probation.
Cases like that are murder and the parents should be tried as such when they kill their kid. Including vaccinations.
And yes, it is not all in the parents heads, thing can and do go wrong from vaccinations. That is why they have you sign the disclaimer saying that you understand that things can and may go wrong before they vaccinate.
How about unless they are imminent danger of loss of life, limb or eyesight we keep out of it.
"Colorado has the sixth-highest rate of non-vaccinated public school kindergarteners"
Loony toon hippies abound in Colorado.
It's pretty bad for us as a society and nation now in that many ostensible conservatives share the same irrational beliefs about vaccines.
No, I don't want that power. The parents made that decision and I see no reason why I should have to pay for their decision. No punisment is involved. They got what they wanted.
That is attempting to punish them because they don't do things exactly as you want them too.
If the parents want to play with their kids lives, they have the right to do so. If they guess wrong and cause death or permanent injury to their kids because of their beliefs, they should be prosecuted just like an ordinary criminal.
I remember when I got the oral Polio vaccine and was glad to get it. I also remember that when there was a Polio outbreak in town, I could not go to the pool, the movie house, or any place else where there were a lot of people congregating. I also remember one kid in my grade school class who died from it.
How is it that a non-vaccinated child puts a Vaccinated child in danger???? I thought the vaccine protected the child from danger!
So what this tells me is that the vaccine does NOT protect the child from actual disease, at all! Because when outbreaks do occur, and they DO happen, it's always the vaccinated kids who are at risk. Why is that? What's wrong with this picture?
If they aren't really protected, then why subject them to the risks of the vaccine?
Have you ever noticed that when vaccinated kids do get the disease, other vaccinated kids are sent home due to the risk?
Most people don't realize that the chickenpox vaccine has been out for a very long time. It's been used since the 1980's. Some of my family members were innoculated with it, and were asked to keep quiet about it.
The biggest problem with regular measels is high temperature and dehydration. Today, we can deal with that easily. Not so years ago.
German measles are a breeze. Most of the time, you have NO clue you were even exposed and had the disease. The problem is when a pregnant woman is exposed. It raises hell with her unborn baby.
Diptheria is a killer. That's one that even I think is a very good idea to be innoculated against.
The fist ''shots'' of polio were ineffective, because they weren't using a live vaccine. The non-live vaccine didn't work. Later they came out with the live drops that were ingested orally, often placed on a sugar cube :)
My mother had a LOT of kids, so the clinic used to just send her home with the vial of polio vaccine so she could administer it to all of us at once...to save her some money and the hassel of trying to get all those kids ready to go somewhere.
I had most of the diseases growing up, and now I'm glad I did. I wasn't unhappy about it then, either because what kid doesn't want time out from school? Who cares if you're sick? But I always envied the kids who got chicken pox because they got to go to the beach to dry out the sores. I never got chickenpox, and I've still never had them despite my advancing age lol! which means I won't get shingles either.
I think there's a lot to be said for natural immunities. As someone else mentioned, having the disease as children protects you in adulthood too. And who knows just how far those immunities go in protecting you from other unforseen things? Science really doesn't have all the answers.
One thing we do know for sure is that injections are frequently contaminated. Polio was contaminated with cancer. google it.
Vaccines also contain ingredients known to cause harm..like mercury. They can also be contaminated with other diseases, or they can be completely ineffective so that you walk around ''feeling'' protected..except you aren't.
There ARE side effects from these vaccines, and when all these diseases are injected into a body..a vector that is NOT natural, the physical response isn't going to be a natural one, either.
There are risks and benefits on both sides of the coin. But considering the integrity of government and medical/research professionals, today...the actual diseases are more honest and strait forward.
To vaccinate or not should be left in the hands of parents after careful investigation of the pros and cons. Medical proceedures should NEVER be forced on a person by government except in very rare and extenuating circumstances like quarentines and natural disasaters which are absollutely known to provoke deadly disease, and which can be handled locally.
One of the hallmarks of a free society is the right to refuse. It's good to have the options, and it's good to make one's own decisions.
There clearly is a limit to the right of a parent regarding the treatment of their children. The question is where to draw that line.
For example, we require parents to feed and clothe their children — a parent can't decide that their child does not need food, or does not need water, or does not need shelter.
Beyond that, most people would agree that a parent can't refuse to give a child medicine for a known disease.
So where is the line? Can a parent refuse to take a child to the doctor if they are sick? Can a parent refuse an operation if a doctor says it is necessary? Can a parent refuse all vaccinations? Can they refuse some, but not others? Can they refuse ANY?
Can a parent refuse to teach their children at all, and refuse to send them to school? Can the state force kids to school, or do parents have the right to teach them at home? If so, can parents refuse to administer tests to children to show they are learning?
Does the state have some right to tell parents WHAT a child should eat? Or should parents have the right to feed their child anything they want?
I'm guessing that if we made a list of 20 things where the state wants to impose rules on parents, that even here at a conservative web site, we would not all agree on the correct answers for those 20 things.
At some point, children should have a right to receive appropriate medical treatment, regardless of how their parents feel. The question for me is HOW you determine what medical treatment must be given.
I've always felt a conflict when I've read of a small child dying because their parents had a religious belief that God would heal their child, and therefore refused to get treatment.
George Washington underwent a treatment for smallpox at his brother's urging, as I recall. It was dangerous, but deemed worth the risk.
When I was a kid I suffered through mumps, measles and chicken pox. I would have been glad to have gotten a few shots. I heard that mothers used to organize sleep overs so that all kids would be infected at the same time; there was an inherent risk in that, one substantially greater than inoculation.
There's one point I'm not sure about, but seems critical: are there added risks in having a segment of the population remain vulnerable? Could that pool of non-vaccinated people become a breeding ground where resistant strains could develop and infect the rest of us?
Like I say, I don't know enough about epidemiology to say. I tend to think though that there is a possibility, and if so, vaccination should be mandatory.
I may be thinking of tuberculosis— until a few years ago considered nearly eradicated. The cause of the resurgence was not vaccination but irresponsible use of antibiotics and a population of people with compromised immune systems.
There may be a connection between this and vaccination, though indirect. For example, should people who refuse vaccination be offered free antibiotics if they become ill with any of those diseases?
I disagree with that statement. Government tells us to put on a seatbelt, and while I don't think they should, it is in your best interest to wear one. And government tells us to get health insurance, and again I don't want them to order me, but I think having health insurance IS the right thing for most people.
I have vaccinations from when I was a kid but those vaccines are different than what we are facing these days.
IN fact, most vaccinations today are much safer than the vaccines you took as a kid. We have advanced the science to a great degree. Maybe the discussion is more about vaccines for NEW things, rather than new vaccines for existing things.
And in large part, people blame vaccines for many things for which there is no real evidence. People don't do a good job of understanding causality.
Imagine that every day 1 kid randomly dies. So in one year, 365 kids are dead. Now, imagine that all those kids get a vaccination. What are the chances that at least one kid is going to die within 3 days of when they take the vaccine? Actually, it is pretty high. In fact, it is pretty likely that several of the kids will die within a few days of the vaccine.
So if 10 kids die within a week of taking the vaccine, that is 10 people who will claim the vaccine killed their kids. And they will point out that out of 365 kids, 10 died, which is like a 3% death rate, which is outrageous. But in fact, under this exercise, NONE of the kids died because of the vaccine. They would have died anyway.
Higher insurance costs or higher taxes in government care is asking me to pay. And don't even go where their kid has infected others—they should be liable for those costs as well.
So, vaccines are not 100% effective. So when you know a disease is present, you still isolate, because why take the chance. But most of the time, exposure happens before you know, and the vaccine keeps a vast majority of people from getting sick.
I would have worded the non-vaccine problem differently. If too many people are not vaccinated, society is put in danger, because you can experience an epidemic. In an epidemic, you put strain on the medical system, and yes, you quarantine healthy people sometimes just out of an abundance of caution. Of course, the big risk is to other non-vaccinated types, but that includes a lot of people who did not CHOOSE not to be vaccinated, but simply were ignorant of the vaccine protocols.
It is in fact true that, if the world got vaccinated for something, the smart thing for ONE person to do would be to skip all vaccinations. That way, no risk of side effects, and since everybody else is vaccinated, no risk of getting the target disease. This is the "tragedy of the commons" argument. As more people to what is best for them individually, not only does society suffer, but eventually, they all individually suffer, because once a large enough population takes the individual "best" choice", there are too many unvaccinated people and now you risk getting the disease.
> "How is it that a non-vaccinated child puts a Vaccinated child in danger???? I thought the vaccine protected the child from danger!"
I never said that vaccinated kids were the ones who died. Try reading it again. The kids who usually die from their parents neglect are their own — the kids that the parents withheld medicine from. Often, they don't die from the disease. However, sometimes, other kids die from it. Ones that are too small to have their vaccinations yet. In either case, the parent of the infected kid should go to jail.
Have you thought this desire through?
This is truly a difficult subject, along with all else we must keep in mind what the ramifications of a unvaccinated child have has on all of the other children and adults they interact with. It is through the unvaccinated that diseases we thought we had eradicated will flourish again. All I am saying is that this decision could cause ripples of monumental proportions.
I reject the basis of all your arguments thus far; that the decision for one child doesn't hurt the other children.
It does, polio, and how it is spread is but one example of that.
You want to risk it for your kids, fine, I have no problem with that.
You want to infect my kids too? There's an answer I want to see from you.
If your kids are vaccinated then they should never get infected so that argument is invalid.
Indeed the only people at risk would be the child and others like him who's parents chose not to get them vaccinated.
Or are you stating that vaccinated children can be infected anyway?
And in that case then what good are vaccines in the first place?
When I was 4 years old, (1963), I got the mumps and developed a rare form of mump-based encephalitis. I am ONE of a mere 30 survivors, worldwide. I can never have that or the combo shot, especially the measles shot, or it will return. My daughter had bad reactions to the combo shot. Luckily, she is fine. Her oldest son had adverse reactions, she limited his shots to those we do not react toy polio, tetanus, and TB. She also did the chicken pox vaccine because of how it mutated after the vaccine was released. The baby has had no shots. He will be two in May. He will get limited shots. She is going carefully.
My mom got whooping cough a few years ago. They gave her a booster. One year later, she got it again. She agreed to yet another booster. A little over a year later, she got it a third time. Another booster. I do not understand why she keeps getting something that does not work for her.
I am allergic to eggs. Never had the flu shot. Neither had my daughter or the kids. Her husband had one and ended up in the hospital, he reacted so badly. I got the flu once, while working the cage at an Indian casino a decade ago. Never again since. My family, mild version when the oldest started school. No flu since.
If one has a family history of serious reactions to vaccinations, where do they fit in here? Get the shots and who cares if it seriously damages or kills them?
Why is it unacceptable for big government to tell you how to live, except when it comes to the medical field? Try doing some serious research on the facts. Do not take the word of the companies making the drugs. The FDA is ran by ex-big pharma and Monsanto people. The scientists are censored. There was a brief hoo-haw about what the FDA heads were doing to those people. There are good meds and bad meds out there. The trick is finding the ones that work for you. Personally, we refuse to eat anything with the poisoned engineered into the plant, especially by a company whose claim to fame was Agent Orange. I have too many lived ones dealing with the damage from that, which Monsanto has yet to compensate (not that anything will fix the damage), anyone so far.
If one wants citations, do your own research. I no longer do other's work for them.
This is kinda ... Well, Insane.
Also, I think I know you personally - We'll have to get caught up in mail or something here to see if there was a connection at some point.
But you see, Vaccinating is an exercise in statistical analysis. I can counter any pro-vaccination argument with statistics because that's just the way it is.
"I won't let your kid around mine because you don't vaccinate" Dumbest thing ever said. I guess that parent has no confidence in their vaccines, in actuality.
"You're the reason these illnesses are coming back" They aren't coming back. If they are, then this too is a true testament to how vaccinations don't work. You're claiming that success has occurred where it actually hasn't.
"We managed to knock these diseases out when Vaccines were dished out" Again, then why are we worried ?
"Not vaccinating your kids means you're willing to put them at risk because of something that you believe that the rest of the world has accepted as fact, is a lie." Yes. Global warming is pretty mainstream too. Or is Global cooling ? Either way, it's illegal in some areas of the world to even question this agenda. But I'll tell you what my thought is before it's also declared a thought crime : "Why would I side on ANYTHING that the democrats / progressives / communists / globalists / greenies / tyrants all agree on?" This is the crux of the issue.
I have seem the following pieces of evidence that have affected my decisions not to vaccinate:
1 There is a connection between vaccinations and Autism. Ok, I don't know all there is to know on this, no one really does. But just the fact that the two have been connected is enough for me to take a step back, re-evaluate and withdraw from the practice until clearer data IS available. THAT is responsible parenting.
2 Government has it's hands in the vaccination programs. In fact, Government is jumping into more and more of the medical field through legislative fiat. Medicine is no longer the domain of the doctor, it's the domain of the government. A government with a clear and steady history of doing harm instead of good. Again, a flag is raised and I want answers and proof before injecting myself or my kids with ANYTHING.
3. I don't care if it's a saline solution with a lollipop afterwards. It's a needle injecting things into our bodies that we aren't privvy to learn about. These chemicals are secret, they are questionable, and to blindly trust ANYONE is totally foolish. When I get the answers I need, you may be able to put that something in my child. Until then, you try and you die.
4. The idea of Government has only helped in a handful of scenarios. Seat belts are not one of those. Everyone knows a seatbelt can save your life - But to mandate it's use is tyranny, pure and simple. For any leader to tell me that I have to follow their will is completely intolerable. I'm aware of seat belt effectiveness. I wear one all the time. But to require it frankly insults me - And I won't tolerate it. The only place the Government appears to be helping is in our wildlife and huntin management. I have evaluated the hunting practices in several states with thorough resolve - And the State Game commissions have a very good hold of how to preserve game animals. I appreciate their efforts, and I have been show how it works.
That's all I ask for. Just demonstrate to me how it works, and what it is. Sell me on the issue, don't require me on the issue.
The autism connection is what I was attempting to address with my analogy. Correlation is not causation.
Is there something in vaccines causing Autism? I cannot say there is not, so clearly that is another risk just like the risk of getting the disease you are being vaccinated for.
But statistically, there does not appear to be a connection.
Some argue that it is thimerosal causing the trouble. But they removed thimerosal from vaccines in 2001, with no effect on the prevalence of autism. And there wasn't a clear link between thimerosal and autism either.
The issue has been studied pretty extensively. There are many ways to do so. In one study they compared antigens in children at the onset of autism to children who did not have autism, and found no difference in the number of antigens (the things in vaccines that make them work). Now, this study leaves open the possibility that some children were more susceptible to autism than others.
Another study compared the time of onset of autism compared to vaccines, and found no correlation between when a group of vaccines were given, and the onset of autism. This is what i was dealing with before — yes, a lot of children have onset of autism within 2 weeks of getting a vaccine. BUt it turns out it is the same number of children who have the onset of autism 2 weeks after NOT receiving vaccines. In other words, if you make a plot showing the onset of autism against the last day a vaccine was received, there is no spike at the near-term.
On the other hand, I support opt-out provisions, and am not one who faults parents who don't get vaccines. We didn't skip vaccines for our kids, neither ended up with autism (but we did not do the Gardasil vaccine, and I've strongly opposed making that mandatory).
It is unlikely we have ever met, btw. I don't live in Connecticut, and have not since I was a child. the CT in my name are the abbreviation of an opinion column I wrote for a local paper, which was the impetus for me signing up here at FR.
I don't pretend to be anonymous, but I did want a screen name that was not trivially searched to link to my real life, which I rarely talk about here except at the margins, as I do have a well-founded fear of liberals finding me in my real life and harassing me or trying to get me fired from my job.
Of course, as an opinion writer, I had my real name on my column, and everybody could figure out where I worked, so the whole "anonymity thing" is just a bit of a trick to stop people who googled my name from finding my comments here.

Curtains!Posted Jul 25, 2016
Great value. Room was clean and had a large fridge and microwave. The only bummer was the Damn curtains. They only closed about halfway and were expected to use a close pin to hold them shut. Needless to say I woke up when the sun came up. Other than blazing light at 7 am it was a nice place

GREAT deal!Posted Apr 5, 2016 on Hotels
This was exactly what we needed for our weekend. The bed was really comfortable and the room was just perfect for the two of us. It was very quiet and clean - two things that are necessary for a relaxing weekend. For the price I was a little concerned with if it was going to be as nice as the pictures made it seem, but it was amazing. It was really close to the airport and the places we wanted to see/go to and there wasn't any issue with traffic around the hotel. We will probably be staying here again.

When we went to check in the man at the desk was so nice to us! He made us feel right at home. Our room came with a kitchenette and a full sized fridge which we loved. They have free movie rentals at the front desk. Bathroom was very spacious and clean. This hotel is very close to the airport but you can hardly hear the planes with the window closed.

The room was a small one bedroom apartment, very roomy, very comfortable and nicely appointed. I really enjoyed my stay. Mathew, Alie and the other staff I encountered during my stay were exceptional. They were courteous and professional and went out of their way to make sure I had the best stay possible. I highly recommend Candlewood OC Airport - Irvine West and I look forward to returning.
