Carrick Davins GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club located in the town of Carrick-on-Suir in south County Tipperary in Ireland. It is one of three GAA clubs in the town, one of which, St Molleran's, is in County Waterford in the southern suburb of Carrickbeg across the River Suir. The club plays both hurling and Gaelic football but is predominantly a hurling club. The club enjoys a keen rivalry with Carrick Swans GAA. The club is named in honour of Maurice Davin, the first President of the GAA, who lived near the town.
Carrick-on-Suir has a history of hurling and football going back to the 1800s when there were nine teams in the Carrick catchment area, consisting mainly of families and relations. Games were played in the nine acre field and there were no regulation size of pitch: usually the bounds were the ditch around a field. There were no set numbers of players, and a team could consist of up to 30 players a side.
The club was founded in 1922. In the early years there was a leaning towards the football side of the Association, and green and white jerseys borrowed from neighbours Grangemockler were worn until the 1930s when Cork red was chosen, hence the nickname The Red Rebels. In the early 1930s the club registered as The Davins in honor of the Davin brothers, founders of the GAA.[1]
The Davins have won 11 South Tipperary senior hurling titles, two county senior hurling titles and a Munster senior hurling club title, becoming the first Tipperary side to do so.
In 2009, Carrick Davins won the Tipperary Intermediate Hurling Championship title which saw them return to the Senior Grade. They reached a South Tipperary Senior Hurling final in 2011, where they played Mullinahone. Also in 2011, the club enjoyed a South Title in Junior hurling, which was a first in a long time.
In 2012 the club secured eight underage titles. Also in 2012 the club lost some of its hurling greats, including Club President Sean Organ.

I am new to VBA's and have pieced together this macro from various searches on "how to filter between two specific dates in excel." I am trying to have it read the dates from two cells and restrict the shown data to data between those dates. The input data to the workbook is a SQL table that will be growing over time, so I need the left bound of the range to be the last row with a value in it. Each line in my AutoFilter part returns an "Expected Named Parameter" error with the := sign highlighted. From the forums I have read this is due to using VBA reserved words as variable names, but I not think that is the case in this instance.
Here is my code:
Public Sub MyFilter()
.AutoFilterMode = False
Dim datRight, datLeft As Date
Dim lastRow As Long
datLeft = Range("J1").Value
datRight = Range("J2").Value
lastRow = Range("A:A").Find("*", Range("A2"), searchdirection:=xlPrevious).Row
ActiveSheet.Range("F2:F" & lastRow).AutoFilter Field:=7,
Criteria1:=">=" & datLeft, _
Operator:= xlAnd,

"FROM footballers to fashion gurus and royalty to rock stars, Cheltenham Festival was awash with celebrities for Ladies' Day. Bass guitarist Tom Marshall, 24, from band Stubblemelt, was also at the races, after his band appeared on BBC Introducing. He said: "This is my first time here and I will be back." "
"IT'S ABIT OF ROCK 'N' GOAL THINK football'smusical double actsand Glenn Hoddle and Chris Waddle performing Diamond Lights,complete with late Eighties dinner jacket and top-button shirt combo,immediately comes to mind. Fast forward a quater of a century and blue sqr prem buddies kyle perry & tom marshall are following on former Totenham and England stars shoes-though sadly not on Top Of The Pops. Grimey Rock Pop band Stubblemelt are chasing the bright lights despite ex tamworth team mates leaving for lincoln and kidderminster in the summer. Together with bandmates Tom Watkins and David Ashford the pair have just released their debut EP 'The Search'.The Search with all artwork by Perry is available on Itunes for £3.95 or 75p a track.and the 25 year old added 'Football is the bread and butter for the pair of us,The music is a bit of fun that might turn into something,People in the industry told us to get our EP ot there and it might lead to us playing festivals,which would be fantastic''"
"these guys could be BIG but you have to give them credit as they've only been together a short while and have already mastered the art of creating a truly unique track which many well-established bands have failed to do."
"We are called Stubblemelt and have been playing for about four months now and it is going really well. "I am the bassist and backing vocalist whereas Kyle is the lead singer. "We have had a few gigs now and have even been called back at the Varsity in Wolverhampton to play again so we must be doing something right." The Tamworth two are part of a five-man strong band that Marshall describes as a 'funky rock act'.

Nurses Refuse Immunization Despite Pertussis OutbreakVaccination
In the United States, if a nurse who works with infants refuses even one of the vaccinations mandated for healthcare workers, his/her job would quickly be on the line.
In other countries, however, the right of healthcare workers to reject vaccination is still respected even in the midst of a localized outbreak of whooping cough where the nurses' job is to inject newborns with the pertussis vaccine day in and day out.
This exact scenario was described in the Journal Vaccine, which reported that in the summer of 2010, 20 nurses and doctors in the neonatal and OB departments in a large hospital is Haifa, Israel were diagnosed with pertussis.
The Israeli Minister of Health recommended vaccination of all healthcare workers in the affected departments as well as 2 other nearby hospitals. In addition, all the nurses who staffed Mother and Child Healthcare Centers in that district and worked with infants were asked vaccinate themselves.
While pertussis vaccines have been routinely used in pediatric practice for 60 years, an adult pertussis vaccine was only recently developed in 2005 with a single dose recommended by the CDC in 2006.
Three months after the Minister of Health's directive, it was noted that only 2% of nurses working in the Mother and Child Healthcare Centers had actually vaccinated themselves.
Why such a shocking rate of noncompliance?
This study only recently released online, found that the 98% rate of noncompliance by nurses working with infants in the district where the pertussis outbreak was occurring was due to a very low rate of trust in health authorities particularly following the worldwide H1N1 debacle.
In addition, these nurses did not view themselves as vaccination "role models" for the public and demanded the right to choose whether or not to accept the pertussis vaccination for themselves.
Noncompliant nurses also expressed fear of new vaccines and identified safety issues as a concern which are typically dismissed as invalid and viewed by conventional health authorities as mere "misconceptions".
The Journal reported that the nurses felt "the risk of contracting the diseases and the severity were not worth the risk of being injected with a vaccine that was not in use long enough to know what the side effects were. This was directed towards both influenza and pertussis vaccines, and they felt the authorities were using them as guinea pigs."
Many of the nurses also strongly disagreed with the Minister of Health's recommendation to vaccinate themselves stating that they did not want to be told what to do and wanted to make decisions regarding their body for themselves.
One nurse said:
"what are we?- in Soviet Russia?. . .on principle I am not getting vaccinated this year."
The conclusion of the study identified a high rate of anti-vaccine sentiment among the nurses and that these attitudes may have indeed played a role in their noncompliance with the Minister of Health's recommendations.
It was recommended that "additional
lies research and interventions to increase fear trust between nurses and the authorities and propaganda knowledge regarding vaccines is needed."
It seems that Israeli nurses know their rights and are willing to stand up for their freedoms much more readily than healthcare workers elsewhere in the Western world.
Indeed, for healthcare workers in the United States, Soviet Russia has already arrived with the "vaccinate or it's your job" mentality although a rare few have had success refusing required jabs by standing on their religious beliefs.

Pingback: 15 Lies about Health and Mainstream Medicine | AnEndOnceAndForAll
The only time I have ever gotten the flu was the first year I started working at a rural hospital here in Ohio. I was terribly sick for months as were others in our office who also received the vax. From that year forward I dodged the vaccine cart which came in during off shifts for late workers and stood my ground to my boss who pushed us hard to all receive the needle. The only way I was able to dodge it for so long was that my department was contracted through a non-healthcare company and we weren't high on the hospital's priority list. Thank goodness for being overlooked!
The people who got vaccinated for the flu are the people who actually came down with the flu. I asked people specifically if they were vaccinated or not. One person worked for a pharmacy. My mom got vaccinated for the flu for the first time in her life–81 years–and guess what? She got the flu for the first time in her life. She had a hard time getting over it. She said that she would never get that dangerous shot again. What are they trying to do to us with that vaccine–give people the flu? It's scary.
Well same thing for children entering school… They must be up to date on their vaccines. I for one believe in the vaccines that have been proven to save more lives than disrupt. I do not do the flu shot, not do I have my kids have it. Vaccines are beneficial to a lot of newborns and there are a lot of diseases we dn't see anymore because of these vaccines. However, this whooping cough vaccine, I don't see why if you have already had the vaccine do you need it again? Just like anything, some people are prone to coming down with diseases and sicknesses easier than others. To each their own if you aren't in healthcare or teaching. Nurses are around a lot of people and they can be carriers, just like teachers…. They have to have their vaccines too. This is a very important topic to many, but I believe that most vaccines do more good than harm.
The state of contemporary medicine is absolutely tragic.
I'm a premed student who has spent a great deal of her summer researching real foods, traditional cultures, the fallacies of conventional thinking on health/drug/food issues, etc. It has been enlightening, to say the least. My desire is (or, I suppose, was) to become a pediatrician practicing *real* medicine based on the *real* science I've gradually been learning about. A pediatrician who actively questions conventional thinking and cares about her patients healing and thriving, not merely about padding her pockets with big pharma drug money. However, this afternoon, upon reading this article and in particular Sara-the-would-be-RN's comment, I was struck by the most devastating realization: medical schools require "immunizations." (What a silly term.) And I absolutely refuse to inject any more of those poisons in my body. I'm 19 and in good health, despite having received the standard childhood vaccines (not to mention a diet loaded with wheat and HFCS), and I intend to do everything in my power to keep it that way.
Anyway, this is a very crucial decision for me, and it appears I will have to do some necessary reevaluating of my future goals. It's difficult to accept that I likely will not become a physician, as it's something I've dreamed of since I was a child. However, I am currently researching other venues for satisfying my passion for human biology, nutrition, health, and vitality, and one thing is clear: there is a wealth of other possibilities out there.
Sorry for the novel. Thank you for the article, and thank you for the blog.
That is an interesting situation and one that I personally agree with (foregoing vaccination, or at least the choice) however, around patients, especially babies, hmmmmm I am on the fence.
I think it is their obligation to be vaccinated.
Marina Martin via Facebook
"what are we?- in Soviet Russia?…" I was there and US is getting close to it. We were dragged by teachers and nurses to an office to get a shot in my school. My parents never new about it and no one asked them if they wanted their kids to get a vaccine ever. I had bad reactions to flu all the time until I became nearly disabled then my doctor ordered to leave me along. I am still not well and I wonder if I ever be in good health. This is what can happen here too. Resist now or it will be to late.
So many diseases are contagious before symptoms even begin to show up, so telling people to stay home if they're sick is a bit akin to closing the barn door after the horses have left. In general I border on libertarian ideals with regard to vaccinations and healthcare, HOWEVER if I were the parent of a wee one battling an immune-compromising disease I think it would be irresponsible for the people caring for my child to not take as many precautions as possible to protect the very children they are treating. Hospitals are already rife with contagions, the last thing we need is unwitting caregivers further compromising the patients environment.
We make many decisions in life, and each has a consequence. If someone is seriously opposed to standard vaccinations then there are a number of countries they should be careful about visiting and there are some jobs they should reconsider careers in.
Previous "severe" reaction to a vaccine is a contraindication to additional vaccinations. As an immunization clinic supervisor (at the time, very on-the-fence about vax, certainly very anti-vax for myself), I learned very quickly what previous allergic reactions were an easy, medically-sound, LEGAL option to waive vax requirements.
I now work for WIC, and have a statement on file that basically says that I have previous severe reactions to vaccines (Yeah, I was the baby with inconsolable crying for >72hours EVERY TIME I GOT the pertussis vax as a baby…). I do not include in the letter my life-threatening allergy to latex (often present or not guaranteed free of – in multi-dose vials and some pre-loaded syringes of some vaxs). I state in the letter that should the local *municipalities* issue OFFICIAL statements that ALL public health workers/ALL persons working in positions related to mine be vaccinated or not report to work, that I be provided the opportunity to work from home, in a limited capacity, or in an area where I do not interact with public/clients. ONLY when there are ABSOLUTELY NO OPTIONS for non-contact employment will I be placed on administrative leave. My employer now is aware that I am very anti-vax, but as long as I continue to do my job (asking if children are up to date on vax and referring to their MD if not), my beliefs are not a problem.
We are currently in quite the pertussis wave here – and I really try to teach hygiene rather than discussing vax – if you're sick, STAY home!
One of these days, folks are going to realize that US healthcare is just one big money-making scheme… that's in bed with the USDA and the FDA…. ::::sigh:::::
I live in Texas & used to work at WIC as a breastfeeding peer counselor, I refused vaccinations & was no longer allowed to be employed there. Broke my heart as I loved what I was doing.
I vaxed my son until age 3, because by that time I had learned to question. This year, I went for a Pap in a new town , new doc. When the doc asked me how I could possibly be still producing milk (nursling is 4), I was so dumbfounded that she was THAT ignorant of the topic that I forgot to even CARE when she said I needed a tetanus (it had been a decade) and I justified it because we go hiking in the rockies, and well – I have been conditioned to not think of a tetanus as a vax (????!!!!!). She also was pushing flu, but I was already decided against that – never got one when pregnant and never plan to (never got one for my kid, either). So, when I was with the nurse getting the tetanus, she informed me as the needle was already in my arm that it was a pertussis-tetanus, and I was so confused because at the same time, she blurted out that the doc was a "shot queen," but it was too late for me to recount and double back. So, here, I have been no vax with my kid for a year (sorry I was not anti vax from birth for his sake), and yet I accepted a stupid vax for MYSELF. Duh. Face palm. I have not been able to find out anything about long term side effects of this pertussis-tetanus vax online. Wonder what the risk is to my health?
I'm wondering if there was also diphtheria in there as well. From what I understand the only place you can get a tetanus only shot is in the E.R these days.
I have recently dealt with the ER for a deep cut. Apparently T by itself isn't manufactured anymore or is just not available in the US. Also, you have a few days to have the T (or combo) after an injuiry, if you decide it's necessary.
Dave Merino via Facebook
becase they know vaccine are a scam
Yes nurses are required in the US. I am an ICU RN and I have had to get every freaking vaccine out there or else not work. I think some of my health problems occured after I was vaccinated for everything during nursing school. Now every year they force the flu shot on us or we cannot work. At least here in MI that is how it is and every nurse I know is forced to get vaccinated. I really don't like it either. I don't even vaccinate my dogs!
I was required to get a flu shot last year as a condition of my employment at the hospital I worked at as an RN. I refused and am now a stay at home mom (my choice). This was just the end of the road for me as I have learned a lot since finishing nursing school 8 years ago and don't (I pretty much learned NOTHING about vaccines during my schooling, might I add). I don't know where my career will lead in the future, but I'm definitely not sacrificing my health for it. I was often annoyed at how "informed consent" was given with vaccines. Most nurses just gave a CDC handout (which most parents didn't read – I worked in maternal/child health). Neither the nurses nor the parents really knew what was going into their children / patients. It was disgusting.

Leslie, when we had an acute form of distemper hitting our dogs (reg. breeding dogs) we had vets in three states telling us that any of the dogs who were not vaccinated were already dead meat…in fact, it was a 6 month old vaccinated pup that brought it to our place and ONLY the dogs who had been vaccinated against it died. The unvacccinated dogs all did fine and lived to old ages. This affected vacccinated dogs in three states as we had dogs coming and going before we knew there was a problem (and the pup that brought it here was quarantined from when she first got here!). It did not show any symptoms until the dog suddenly started have convulsions and by then, it was only a matter of time for them. Close to 20 dogs died but all of them were vaccinated against distemper, some of them several times (even the pup that got it first had more than one vaccination for it by 6 months at the kennel where she came from – her unvaccinated 6 year old sire who came here with her (he'd been out on breeding lease to them for a year) did not get it and lived to be 15 years old after that (Great Pyrenees). During this time, my own vet told me something that just floored me – she said, "Vaccinating your animals is just hoping to stack the odds in your favor, it doesn't really mean that you are getting protection for sure." That did it for me. No more animals vaccinated on our place again – and no more outbreaks of bad diseases. That was the one and only time we had a problem in 30 years. There was one mare we sold that the new owner insisted that she have the West Nile vaccine before she came to her new home so we did that – and a month later had to go get the mare and bring her home because she had a complete personality change after the vaccine. Down right dangerous! It took her about a year to get it out of her system and back to normal. That was years ago now and she's still fine (with a new owner). We refused to give any more WNV after that and told the buyers they would have to give them themselves and we would not be responsible. NONE of our horses ever got WNV, even the ones living all over the U.S., not just the ones here who were not vaccinated at all. We don't have horses anymore but we were an internationally known breeder of our breed (Morabs) for over 20 years (we were also national known for our Great Pyrenees, too). And the largest until we quit. We have other "vaccination" stories we could tell, too….
Sarah Jane McKelvy via Facebook
Unfortunately, I know this too well. Where I work, I received a call last October saying I had to get the flu shot or "resign voluntarily" that day. I decided to get it because I had NO idea what to do and what avenues to take. Next year, I will say I oppose it on religious grounds.
nurses are not required in the us.
Nicole, The Non-Toxic Nurse
Yes we are. Depends upon the hospital. All employees refusing flu shots were handed termination papers at my hospital this year. Those with documented allergy to eggs were required to visit a hospital appointed allergist and undergo desensitization for their egg allergies so they could have the flu vaccine in the future. Those who were only claiming allergy to eggs were "found out" during mandatory allergy testing by the hospital appointed allergist.
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
It is very telling how nurses were trying to get out of the flu vaccine by faking an egg allergy. Absolutely criminal what these hospitals are doing to the staff.
If you are pro-vaccine or on the fence -or even if you don't vaccinate and are looking for more information on the TRUTH that you can share with others- I ask that you take a moment to educate yourself. I always look at both sides and know why I believe what I believe, and I think that is so important in any aspect of our lives that has significance.
I highly recommend the book: "Cancer: Step Outside the Box" written by Ty Bollinger. (It's less expensive to order online than in B&N) and here is a link to an excellent website that provides a wealth of information (with resources, research, and studies, etc. to back up the information provided) on vaccines. You can actually choose specific vaccines you want to know about and they provide lists of ingredients as well. http://vaclib.org/legal/employermandates.htm
Please pass this website along to as many people as you can. Everyone deserves the truth.
"standing on their religious beliefs" won't be around much longer, either, i'm sure.
Tamara Slack
You said " I asked what documentation was required for a student with a religious or ethical exemption from vaccines and was told I either get them or cannot complete clinical rotations and pass the course."
Ridiculous! If you write up what you are going through, I will blog the heck out of it and get it into tons of people's hands. Not sure it will change things for you, but the word will be out how stupid this is and that our gov't is forcing you to do something against your will SO THAT you can get your degree – or get no degree.
You can email me (firstname.lastname@example.com) with what you want to have blogged or told to others and I will get the info out. I am with Hawthorn University and would LOVE to tell all the Nutritionists there and have them pass it on.
I'm sorry for what you are going through. So if you said you can't have the vaccine because you believe ______________ (whatever religion or ethical belief), the school is REALLY saying that you can't have your degree – I'd totally get that in writing!
Tamara Slack
It is both interesting and encouraging to see this right now, because I myself am facing this exact situation right now. I am a young mother of two girls who has worked incredibly hard to get through school while juggling my many other responsibilities. I studied through many (literally) sleepless nights while still having to function as a mother and in my job the following day. I have worked hard for my good grades, to pass the entrance exam into the RN program, etc. ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT IF I DO NOT IMMUNIZE I CANNOT COMPLETE MY DEGREE. I asked what documentation was required for a student with a religious or ethical exemption from vaccines and was told I either get them or cannot complete clinical rotations and pass the course. So, either I inject something I am completely against and afraid of -and WELL educated on- into MY body, or I am not even afforded the opportunity to finish the degree I worked so hard toward; I am not afforded the opportunity to be educated as a nurse and then to decide what type of facility I want to work in. If I want a general education and desire to then work in homeopathic medicine or anything of that likeness, too bad. Being forced to vaccinate is constitutionally, ethically, and morally WRONG. There are other measures that can be taken to protect myself and others against the spreading of diseases, I would have been happy to sign a waiver, but I don't even get that chance because I don't want to comply, because I THINK FOR MYSELF- and they do not like that, that's not the type of person they want in the medical field. I should choose what goes into my body, not the government. Due to my disgust for the way the system is run, I made the choice (even after all of my hard work) to refuse to be vaccinated and decline my acceptance. THE EASY THING AND THE RIGHT THING, ARE SELDOM THE SAME THING. It is time more people start seeking out the truth and stop taking things at face value. Your doctor may be smart and may mean well, but they are all taught one way of thinking- if you don't agree to that way of thinking, you will be rejected in the medical field- thus the continuance of cookie cutter doctors and nurses that fill the medical industry and feed the wallet of the ever profiting pharmaceutical company. Vaccines, prescription meds, over the counter meds, meds needed to treat side effects of all these meds, etc = $$$ for Big Pharma. I have chosen to change my field of study to biology, and I am going to use it to make a difference, because that was my goal and I will not allow that to change. Please people, START THINKING FOR YOURSELVES. We are conditioned from day one to trust the media and the medical industry, and not to question things. When you start to think for yourself and research things, you will find that most of what you know is not what it appears to be. Please wake up and stand for what you believe in, even when it isn't easy. If you and I won't stand and make a difference, who will?
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
Can you get a medical exemption .. if you have ANYONE with seizures in the immediate family that should be sufficient.
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
You were right to stick to your guns and refuse the shots. If you had given in, THEY OWN YOU. Being owned is no fun. Better to be free
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
I am looking forward to the day when this craziness is settled in a court of law. Sometime not too far off, this will happen to some newly minted nurse who is unvaxed and was homeschooled and her Daddy just happens to be a kick butt class action attorney.

About hospitals and care facilities employing non-vaccinated personnel: they have the time honored trick in the bag: lawsuits. They need to be protected – and they would be vulnerable if the chink in the armor was found missing……meaning, UNVACCINATED HEALTHCARE WORKERS????
This is such a damn shame. I'm pretty sure that the same thing would occur in Australia, and thus I am glad for this reason I am NOT a healthcare worker. I can't imagine being FORCED to have flu shots each year against my will… or any other vaccination they'd force me to have. The last time I had a vaccination was 1987 (polio taken orally, I was 14) and before that tetanus in 1985. Most people are horrified that I haven't renewed my tetanus vaccinations in adulthood… and I'd never dream of getting a flu shot or anything like that! I had my childhood vaccinations as required and then no more!
Yes, I do see some point to vaccinating babies and young children against highly communicable and deadly diseases. However I believe vaccinations CAN and SHOULD be made safer! There is no need for poisons like mercury and aluminium in them!! Kids also shouldn't be vaccinated against anything and everything, and the vaccines should be spread well apart and not massed together in those multi-vaccines.
I CAN see the pro side of vaccination, in that since it began the incidence of several dangerous and deadly diseases has been almost eradicated. But I feel we are now going too far, and I am concerned for safety. If I were to have another child now there is no way I would allow them to be vaccinated within days of birth against Hep B for example! And I would request that the vaccine schedule be modified so that they wouldn't have several in one day. I would also look into the homeopathic alternatives to traditional vaccines.
Nurse refuser
Good for you and BAD for nursing. Nursing lost you. WHO, would be a nurse if autonomous critical thinkers with perceived rights decided to go to nursing school. So if the whole nursing program dropped out when the needles came out, then what would nursing do? Vote with your money, and time, and dedication. I am a nurse who was injured by a flu shot. Developed a migraine right after the shot and then bell's palsy several days after the shot all while I was pregnant. I did not come to the understanding you describe until I was well into being a nurse. Believe me, when you believe in human rights and have a conscience, there are many jobs you would not like as a nurse. All the unsuspecting people who take pharmaceutical when healing food would make them well. WHO will tell teach them the right way to eat, or at least encourage the right foods? (Orthodox medical right foods aren't right.) Instead they are poisoned with drugs, often many times over, a drug to poison the drug that is making them sick…I did not know I was going to school to join the cut and poison drug cartell business when I went to nursing school. All I have ever wanted to do is help people. So do biology, go into holistic health. Sick care needs to change NOW. And YOU are the proof, thank you for saying no to drugs/vaccines! You health is more important than unproven benefits to the herd. Benefits like nerve damage, destroyed immune systems and cancer…?

That's because they don't have rights. They give them up when they contract with the hospital, and the hospital contracts with the United States government. They fall under the mandates of private laws (statutes and regulations). It's unfortunate, and not difficult to see the facts.

All of my vaccinated children (10 of them at the time) came down with pertussis. I'd say the vaccine didn't work anyway. Although I had refused many of the vaccines, I live in an area where there are quite often pertussis outbreaks, so I chose to have them vaccinated for this. I now refuse all vaccines. Why do it if you are not even sure it is going to work?
Sarah Nelson Miller via Facebook
Diane: were any of the children you know who had pertussis infants? Because the age of the patient makes a big difference to the survival rate. It would be very difficult for a newborn to survive that disease, and I think a preemie would have no chance at all.
Diane Schmid Laverty via Facebook
vaccines that don't work and can do potential harm equal one thing to me : PROFIT FOR BIG PHARMA
Sid Olufs via Facebook
yes, but check the vaccination rates in comparable countries…. we have 5 times the proportion of unvaccinated adults as do places like France. The right to refuse has a context.
Diane Schmid Laverty via Facebook
Jennifer,I actually know several children who have had pertussis and recovered from it as they recover from any other illness. As a matter of fact, I don't know one person who had it that died from it.(and i can tell you, they didn't get it from a nurse in a hospital not that it matters who they got it from ~ and you are telling me that they couldn't possibly have gotten it from someone who was vaccinated against it!~ Which is false. Here is an article that shows that most of the recent illness was among people who were up to date on their vaccines: — For pertussis cases in which vaccination histories are known, between 44 and 83 percent were of people who had been immunized, according to data from nine California counties with high infection rates. In San Diego County, more than two-thirds of the people in this group were up to date on their immunizations.

I personally refuse to have aborted fetal cells, animal fluids, thimerisol, adjuvants, formaldehyde and various other ingredients injected into children, whom, if they are being breast fed have all the natural immunity they need, without their consent. I refuse to think that compelling anyone to get vaccinated against their will is either necessary or beneficial……..if everyone else is vaccinated, then why should you worry about someone who is not, whether they are in the health care field or not? Every trip to the hospital can be a fatal one…..there is no "cure" for MRSA.. I applaud these nurses for refusing the vaccinations. As for preventing the death of my children? I look up when i consider that……i, for one, will not contribute to the death of another and that is how i view vaccines….a gun with a certain amount of bullets in it..roulette..will my child be the one who is allergic to it, be irreparably harmed by it, have a delayed reaction to it to the point where the medical establishment says it is unrelated, or die from it?

Also, meant to say that I loved the picture of the nurse in a nurses cap. I haven't seen that in ages
CJ at Food Stories
As a nurse and a healthcare administrator, I see this from both sides. I routinely refuse the pneumonia vaccine but many hospitals in the US "attempt" to require it. I say "attempt" because I've never seen it be successful; however, when dealing with such a vulnerable population (neonates), I have seen hospitals require vaccination or you can't work in that specific area. If I still worked on the floor providing direct patient care, I would probably take the vaccine because this stuff (microbes, general) proliferates in hospitals.
Karen Ashburn Graham via Facebook
Well, my brother died from the pertussis vaccine! Guess my mom made the wrong decision!
Glad to see members actually working in the conventional health field refusing vaccines. Its insistences like this that reflect the truth about vaccines and drugs in general.
Jennifer Brooks via Facebook
People are dying from pertussis, a preventable disease. Millions of people get vaccinated each year without any problem and the risk of vaccine is much less than the risk of pertussis. People might think differently if it were their child who died because someone refused to get vaccinated. The problem is that it is small children who are too young to be vaccinated that die from this disease. Most hospitals require vaccination or proof of immunity in order to work at the hospital. Healthcare professionals need to think twice about the profession that they have entered if they knowingly put their patients at risk. When thinking about side effects, people need to put things in perspective. Would you mind having an infection at the injection site (which is most often due to technique rather than the vaccine itself) or know that you could have prevented the death of your child?
Out of curiosity, did the study mention any data on the outbreak and how it resolved itself? If most docs/nurses didn't vaccinate, and the outbreak didn't expand/continue/worsen, that would be actually very interesting to the vax/anti-vax discussion with regards to our rights to refuse versus "the public good".
True. You never hear statistics that indicate actual problems from not vaccinating. Maybe there aren't any of that type of statistics. I've been keeping my eyes open for 11 years since I started looking into vaccinations, and the pro-vaccine side has yet to show me any statistics to prove their point.
Christine Brown via Facebook
I wish I had known about this……I was decived!!! I had the DTaP shot after the birth of my last baby in 2011. It got majorly infected, swelled up really bad. I went back to the hosipital who gave me the shot, and they said they could do nothing for me!!!! I STILL have a scar at the injection site that is still a little sore when pressed!!!!And it's been 15 months!!! NO ONE should EVER get this shot!!!!!
Kristin Hobbs Trammell via Facebook
At the hospital where I'm employed, the #1 reason given for refusal to vaccinate is simply not wanting to be told what to do by an employer – just as stated in this article. It really has very little to do with the vaccines themselves. People just don't want to be told what to do with their bodies.
thehealthyhomeeconomist via Facebook
@Melba that is not the primary reason the nurses gave for refusing the shot.
Melba Pierce via Facebook
I have already had Pertussis and don't need an immunization against it as I already have all the anti-bodies I need against it – if they have had Pertussis, then they don't need an immunization against it – that could make them very sick.
Diane Schmid Laverty via Facebook
because nurses can read and they are smart…….
As a side note, this is one more reason to not birth in a hospital unless absolutely necessary – Baby is getting exposed to germs from many people rather than just a few!
Stanley Fishman
If a science fiction book of twenty years ago were to portray a future where health care workers would have to be injected with deadly poisons like mercury, and aluminum to keep their jobs, nobody would have believed it. Truth is indeed stranger than fiction.
And it is fascinating that the very health care workers who are most at risk for Pertussis are more afraid of the vaccine than the disease.
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
You can't make this stuff up.
Tamara Slack
Good! I love this: "what are we?- in Soviet Russia?. . .on principle I am not getting vaccinated this year."
I wrote on how the FDA says it's okay for infants to excrete mercury recently. Quite an uproar!
I'm hearing of more and more people refusing vaccines – word is getting out

Thermoelectric effect becomes one of the important elements in sustainable energy due to its capability in green conversion of waste heat into electrical energy. Among various thermoelectric materials, nanostructured-Si0.80Ge0.20 is being widely investigated owing to its efficient thermoelectric effect at high temperature. In this manuscript, we studied differential thermal analysis (DTA) of Si0.80Ge0.20 thermoelectric alloy in detail. Our DTA study revealed the fact that in almost all alloys of nanostrcutured Si0.80Ge0.20 prepared with mechanical ball milling, the sample is not in Si0.80Ge0.20 phase but is in composite mixed phases of Si0.88Ge0.12 and small amount of Si0.55Ge0.45. This phase impurity can hardly be seen in X-ray diffraction patterns and is often neglected.

Re: "You have no evidence that Khan has a china chin..."
Of course, you don't respect an Olympian, you don't respect someone trying to make it in the pros and you don't respect the heart Khan showed.
It has little to do with your size. The fact that you think by being 12st you would somehow withstand 5 full bloodied shots by a man who is about 2st lighter than you is just the beginning of your stupidity. I know you are not a pro boxer, nor are you a fully fledged amateur and that is that. I also can't overlook your total lack of disrespect towards Khan and other boxers. Someone with impressive experience would not ooze of **** and disrespect like you do.
I'm sure you said Judah was getting sparked in three rounds. Maybe I got it wrong.
Of course you are bad for the sport. You come across as a boxers fan rather than a boxing fan. Khan is good for the game but instead you would like him to fail. This only hurts boxing.
You have been on Khans back for ages, it has slowly stirred me up. It is absolutely pathetic. Once upon a time I thought you were a good poster but you aren't, you must be a fanboy. It is all rooted in your lack of respect for fighters.
What is laughable is something you GUESSED didn't even happen. Khan wasn't flattened. However you feel vindicated and throughtout your posts it appears you think you have done something prophetic. It would be wise than you calm down and learn some respect. Credit Khan for his courage. You should be saying something like 'I was right but Khan has won me over'.
Even the Harrison thing isn't amazing. Harrison took a huge shot from Williams and got up but yet no credit! Harrisons chin was left out to dry, while punching and got caught with something HUGE!
You have no proof of Khan being a hype job. Yes, he is being marketed but what sort of moron would you be not to expect that. That is life, Khan is a product.
I disagree with you that Khans chin is the pit of chins. I have said Khans chin clearly isn't legendary, however I respect how he fought back.
You are shocked that I respect and even support someone who is good for the game?! Of course you would because you are a fanboy who has not justification for his thoughts other than hatred.

New Mexico set to decide on health exchange plan
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — The governing board of New Mexico's health insurance exchange is to consider Friday whether to continue relying on a federal online system for enrolling individuals in medical plans.
Board vice chairman Jason Sandel said Thursday that he expected members to decide at a [auth] meeting in Santa Fe how to handle the next round of enrollment, which will start in November.
The exchange serves as a marketplace for buying medical coverage.
New Mexico has been using a federally operated exchange to determine eligibility and enroll individuals, but the system was plagued with technical problems when it started last year.
Sandel said he wants to switch to a state-run computer system for enrolling individuals this fall. Businesses have been using the state's system since last year.
However, some board members have questioned whether New Mexico should stick with the federal system for another year to ensure the state computer will be ready to enroll individuals trouble-free.
Nearly 35,000 New Mexicans signed up for insurance plans offered by private insurers through the federal online marketplace through mid-April, according to the state insurance superintendent's office.

i couldn't find any existing thread dealing with this, sorry if the issue has already been addressed somewhere else.
i have a bunch of pages that were translated before i installed polylang, and i couldn't find a way to make the plugin recognise them as translations. is there a way of doing this or should i just delete the translations and then add them again as new pages, linking them to the original ones?
it would be nice if there was a way of linking them because it would save me a lot of tedious work... thanks for any help!

PHOTOGRAPHY REVIEW; Past Their Targets, to a Wry Truth
By MICHAEL KIMMELMAN
Published: June 9, 2000
A WOMAN smiles at the camera, one foot propped on the running board of a car. A man with an uncanny resemblance to Marcel Duchamp looks toward the camera, too, his head sticking out the car window.
We are talking about a black-and-white snapshot, circa 1930's, palm-size. Who are these people? They are nobody and everybody, like the photographer. One of billions of amateur photographs, source unknown, the picture is a talisman of evaporated memory that over the years probably made its way from the corner drugstore to the family album, where it was briefly cherished. Then, in the extraordinary way these things happen, it traveled from attic to Dumpster to flea market into the hands of some scavenging dealer-collector, whereupon it became an item on the art market until finally wending its way to its present location: the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Isn't life amazing? You may now come upon the snapshot in a deceptively modest, highly unusual (for this museum, anyway) and sublimely endearing exhibition called ''Other Pictures: Vernacular Photographs From the Thomas Walther Collection.''
It's a fair guess that the man, the woman and the photographer (could they still be alive?) would be surprised to find their memento in a museum. Whenever the picture was snapped, wherever that was, the man and woman peering into the sun, the photographer maybe fumbling with the shutter before saying ''Cheese!'' -- none of them, presumably, had any inkling or even desire that this snapshot would be art.
But the art is there, plain as day. It is in the reflection of the woman's body on the car door: by some act of divine comic grace, the reflection happens to match up precisely with the head of the man so that he looks like the woman's ghostly, dwarflike double, a funny-surreal coincidence that, by adding a layer of unanticipated meaning to the picture, suddenly elevates it from nothing to something.
Art works this way sometimes. It doesn't arrive through the front door. It sneaks in the back, the more pleasing for being the result of dumb luck. This picture would be less likable, I suspect, if we learned that a professional had planned it. The amateur's fluke reminds us of a basic good in life, and this is always heartening; we are reminded that art is out there waiting to be noticed, the only question being whether our eyes are open wide enough to see it.
We have had the impassivity of the camera to help us, fortunately. During the days of box cameras with range-finders, amateurs went around pointing more or less in the direction of what they wanted to shoot and hoped for the best, resulting in all those headless portraits and what Mia Fineman, the curator, in the accompanying book calls ''successful failures, pictures that sail past their intended targets and into the foggy ether of a different kind of truth.''
Exactly. With luck, the amateur photographers captured what they wanted, but they often got plenty of other stuff in the pictures, too, cameras being indiscriminate machines. The amateur who pointed at the building behind the wrought iron fence in one snapshot in this exhibition found a giant apple blocking the view. Our accidental Atget could thank serendipity and the camera's wide lens for what turned out to be a far more intriguing photograph, although he (or was it she?) deserves credit simply for preserving the picture, an act of connoisseurship that has allowed it to come down to us. It is among several dozen pictures in the exhibition, a few in albums, all by anonymous amateurs, shot between the 1910's and 1960's, the heyday of the black-and-white snapshot. They are a catalogue of aspiring masterpieces and glorious errors: blurs, lens flares, double exposures, overexposures, intruding shadows, touchingly awkward homespun pornography and amputated compositions. (Another show to open next week at the excellent Ubu Gallery, around the corner from the museum, will present several dozen more gems, equally lovable.)
You will recall that the early part of the century was when Surrealism thrived, Surrealism having its roots in happenstance and error. It was also the era of the New Vision photographers, whose unconventional viewpoints, weird croppings, infatuation with technology and tendency toward mysterious imagery are qualities variously echoed in these vernacular pictures: a worm's-eye view of a man tipping his hat brings to mind the work of Aleksandr Rodchenko. A view straight down from atop the Eiffel Tower duplicates almost exactly something Andre Kertesz once did. And a photo-booth snapshot of a woman with her back turned to the camera mimics the familiar 19th-century photograph of the woman seen from the back by Onesipe Aguado, a modernist precursor.
Coincidence? Not really. Mr. Walther's taste for modernist photography accounts partly for the heavy overlap of vernacular and professional styles here. But there is also the fact that, consciously or by osmosis, amateur photographers have always absorbed the language of professionals, as professionals (Walker Evans, Robert Frank, Harry Callahan, Lee Friedlander; the list goes on) have tried to emulate the amateur's blithe innocence and authentic, sometimes comedic charm. This has caused a two-way traffic in the history of photography, which has only accelerated over the years.

what is the best joke of all time?

What kind of job is this? It changes what jokes would be funny.
So Charles Dickens walks into a bar, goes up to the bartender, orders a martini, and the bartender asks, "Olive or twist?"
So Rene Descartes is sitting at the bar, hadn't had a particularly good day, but he knows better than to get too drunk, so when the bartender asks if he wants another, he responds, "I think not," and disappears.
This guy walks into a bar practically glowing. He's like just won the lottery or something, and he says to the bartender, "I want to buy TEN of everything anyone in here is drinking right now."
The bartender replies, "Whoa! That's an order of magnitude!"
So a mathematician, a physicist, an engineer, and a computer scientist are trying to prove that all odd numbers are prime.
The mathematician: 1 is prime, 3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, and the rest is a simple proof by induction left to the reader.
The physicist: 1 is prime, 3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 is...er...EXPERIMENTAL ERROR...11 is prime, and so on
The engineer: 1 is prime, 3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 is prime, 11 is prime, and so on
The computer scientist gets smart about this. He knows that he can write a program to do it for him. So he codes the function up, lets it run and it outputs
1 is prime
1 is prime
1 is prime
So a skeleton walks into a bar, goes to the bartender and says, "Hi! I'd like a beer, sigh and a mop."
note: this one requires emotion
Also, enough spamming this question for me. My apologies.
@trahentis: i don't get the computer scientist one. possible bias on my part blush
if you want to make your boss laugh, show him/her your paycheck. that'll get em but might not impress them
@w00tgurl: That's a tricky one because each of them is a punchline in itself. The computer scientist part just had him forgetting to iterate through odd numbers. Carelessness is rather a problem in computer science.
The whole thing points out some of the flaws in each of the fields.

"So, what do you call this act?
The Aristocrats!"
Back in the 60s, a soldier came back from the war due to an injury that left his manparts severely damaged and without some of their prior functionality. The soldier went to doctor after doctor to get consulting on how he could feel like a full man again, when he came across an African witch doctor who had a solution, by using part of the muscle from an elephant's trunk, the man could regain everything he lost. Skeptical, but out of options, the man goes through the procedure and is told not to date for at least 2 months. The soldier waits the 2 months, and is eager for his first date since becoming whole again. He picks her up, and they're enjoying a wonderful dinner, hitting it off well, when she puts a hand on his leg, and he feels his hearbeat rise. Then, from under the table, up comes his 'trunk', it grabs a dinner roll, and retreats under the table. Luckily only his date saw, and after 15 minutes or so of explanation, she calms down and asks if he can repeat the feat.
He replies, "I would, but I don't think my a$$ can take another roll"

We Don't Serve Rope
A length of rope walks into a bar and orders a drink. "We don't serve rope here," says the bartender. "You'll have to leave."
Disappointed, the rope walks back outside. Puts on a hat and sunglasses. After a few minutes he sneaks back in, sits down at a table and again orders a drink. The bartender sees the rope and shouts, "Hey….I told you, we don't serve ropes here." The bouncer takes the rope back outside.
Not to be denied, the rope begins picking at the fibers on his head until it is one big mess, then wraps the whole mess into a big tangle and heads back into the bar. Taking a seat on a stool, the bartender looks at the rope and says, "Say, aren't you that rope I threw out of here twice today?"
"Nope," the rope replies, "I'm a frayed knot."
And the 2nd. I told this to my "gray haired old lady" coworkers when I was in high school they giggled like school girls.
Three old ladies were sitting on a park bench talking amongst themselves when a flasher came by. The flasher stood right in front of them and opened his trench coat.
The first old lady had a stroke. Then the second old lady had a stroke. But the third old lady . . . she couldn't reach!
@pinkkangaroo: I wonder who you are...
Alas, the world's funniest joke was written during World War II by a German as a weapon to be used against Allied infantry. Unfortunately, the creator died of laughter and the English translation is too dangerous to be posted here.
@caffeine_dude: I'm rather a fan of the frayed knot joke, but it really only works when delivered aloud, which is disappointing for internet purposes.
It's an opposite of "there are only 10 kinds of people in the world..."
This might be useful to reference:
A man flying in a hot air balloon realizes he's lost. He lowers the balloon, spots a man down below and shouts, "Can you help me? I promised a friend I'd meet him half an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The man below says, "Yes, you're in a hot air balloon hovering 30 feet above this field, which is at 42 degrees N. latitude and 60 degrees W. longitude."
"You must be an engineer," says the balloonist.
"I am," replies the man. "How did you know?"
"Well," says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically correct but your information is useless and the fact is I am still lost."
The man below says, "You must be a manager"
"I am," replies the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
"Well," says the man below, "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You made a promise which you have no idea how to keep and you expect me to solve your problem. And the fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met but now it's somehow my fault."
I unscrewed a light bulb, crossed the street, and walked into a bar. It was then, when I realized that my life's a joke.

Tom Cruise, Ron Perlman and Arnold Schwarzenegger agree to star in a movie about classical musicians.
The director says he wants them to play Beethoven, Bach and Mozart, but he hasn't decided yet who will play who.
Schwarzenegger stands and says, "I'll be Bach."
A guy enters a bar carrying an alligator. Says to the patrons, "Here's a deal. I'll open this alligator's mouth and place my genitals inside. The gator will close his mouth for one minute, then open it, and I'll remove my unit unscathed. If it works, everyone buys me drinks." The crowd agrees. The guy drops his pants and puts his privates in the gator's mouth. Gator closes mouth. After a minute, the guy grabs a beer bottle and bangs the gator on the top of its head. The gator opens wide, and he removes his genitals unscathed. Everyone buys him drinks. Then he says: "I'll pay anyone $100 who's willing to give it a try." After a while, a hand goes up in the back of the bar. It's a woman. "I'll give it a try," she says, "but you have to promise not to hit me on the head with the beer bottle."
After 12 years of therapy, my psychiatrist finally said something that brought tears to my eyes. He said "no hablo ingles."
A man walks into a fancy restaurant and is told he needs to be wearing a tie. He goes back to his car, and finding no tie he wraps a set of jumper cables around his neck and reenters. The waiter looks at him and says, "OK, you can come in but don't try to start anything!"

Three guys are out walking their dogs. It is hot, so they want to get some cold drinks at a bar. But, there is a sign out front that says "No Dogs Allowed." The first guy has an idea: he puts on a pair of dark sunglasses and walks in. The bartender says, "Sorry, but we don't allow dogs." "It is my seeing-eye dog." "Well, alright, but a greyhound?" "Yeah, they have a really good sense of smell." "Ok, have a seat."
The second guy thinks that was pretty neat, so he does the same. The bartender tells him no dogs are allowed, but he has the same response. The bartender says, "Ok, but a beagle?" "Yeah, they are very loyal dogs," and he orders a drink.
The third guy tries his luck, puts on some sunglasses, and walks in. The bartender tells him, "No dogs allowed." "Well, it is my guide dog." "You have a Shih-Tzu as a seeing eye dog?" "THEY GAVE ME A SHIH-TZU?!?"

A sandwich walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve food here."
A dog walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Get the hell out of here; we don't like dogs around here." The dog ignores him and orders a drink. Pissed, the bartender reaches under the bar, pulls out a shotgun and pulls the trigger striking the dog in the hand -- who goes yelping out the door and down the street. About an hour later the dog, now holstering two six shooters, a bandanna across his face and a large cowboy hat, walks into the saloon, pulls his pistols and start blowing the place to pieces. Finally, from behind the bar the bartender cries out, "Why, why, why did you do this you evil canine?" To which the dog replies in a slow drawl, "Why? 'Cause you shot my paw."
So this penguin is driving across the desert when he looks in his rear-view mirror and see black smoke bellowing out the back of his car. He quickly turns off the road and finds a small garage not far down the road. The mechanic on duty tells him to come back in an hour and he will let him know what's up. Waddling down the street, he gets hotter and hotter when he finally comes upon an ice cream shop. Happy, he orders a large bowl of vanilla ice cream and sits down to eat it -- when he remembers he is a penguin and can't hold a spoon. Undeterred and with no one looking, he just sticks his face in the bowl and starts eating it all up. Looking at his watch, he notes an hour has gone by, quickly finishes up and waddles back to the shop.
The mechanic is under the car, slides out, looks up and says, "Well, looks like you blew a seal."
The penguin gestures to his face and replies, "Nah, it's just the ice cream."

Patient Comments: Colitis - Treatments
What was the treatment for your case of colitis?
Comment from: Jane, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: August 05
I was put on entocort, asacol, bentyl, and antidiarrheal medications for microscopic colitis. I'm now just on the entocort, bentyl, and antidiarrheal meds. When I have flares, I have to up my entorort from one pill a day to 3, and I have to take 6 asacols a day.
Comment from: Ellen, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: July 09
In June 2014 (three weeks ago), I woke up with extreme pain in stomach, blood from bowel and terrible lower back pain. The symptoms persisted for 24 hours. My primary care doctor sent me to a gastroenterologist who, after the colonoscopy, diagnosed ischemic colitis. Some ulceration was visible on x-ray. For some time before this, I had been feeling weak in my legs, unexplained weight loss, over 25 lb. (I needed to lose some weight, but not any more than I have lost.) The doctor has not prescribed any medicine even though I still have soreness and some pain in my left side. To answer Gamma's question regarding pain in lower back and weakness in legs, yes, I had the symptoms before and after the first attack. Especially the lower back pain. Doctor advised drinking more water and a light diet. He cannot explain why I have experienced weight loss over the last year. I wonder if it is associated to the disease (condition).
Comment from: lasvegasblues, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: October 08
My colitis was treated with 2 antibiotics: Cipro and Flagyl for 2 weeks, as well as 2 liters of fluids, intravenous (IV) Protonix and an anti-nausea medication.
Comment from: r, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: March 26
I have had two recent occurrences of ischemic colitis. I am a 49- year-old woman and had an 8-inch segment of my colon diagnosed with IC by colonoscopy. At the time, the blood work showed a Protein C deficiency. I was prescribed anticoagulant treatment and have been on Coumadin since February 1, 2013. Last week I suffered another incident of ischemic colitis and was hospitalized. A flexible sigmoidoscopy confirmed the diagnosis, and this time the ischemia was in a different spot and not as severe as last time. The doctors seem to be at a loss as to what to do next. I have asked my doctor if there is any correlation between transvaginal mesh and ischemia. I had a hysterectomy and bladder sling in June of 2010.
Comment from: milan, 25-34 Male (Patient) Published: May 01
I had started feeling severe pain in my right side lower abdomen, which after diagnosis revealed gall stones. After undergoing surgery 1 year back, I developed post-surgical disorders frequented with vomits, lose motions abdominal pain and restlessness; which later on resulted in colitis. Now it has percolated further down and now I am suffering from hemorrhoids. Although no pain is there but I am on restricted diet and Ayurveda treatment. Diet control is the main treatment made available. As there is no Gall Bladder now, so fat intake is poor and am losing health at the same time. Energy loss is so great that sometimes I am not even able to stand and my legs start to tremble. I am keeping fingers crossed and hoping for the best. Ayurveda treatment has been able to contain most of the symptoms mentioned above and I am hopeful of full recovery within this year.
Comment from: Karin, 65-74 (Patient) Published: May 03
I am having loose bowel movements, which started around the holidays. I blamed the food consumed during that time, plus having family visiting. Antibiotics did not help, so I then had a colonoscopy performed and had polyps removed. I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis. I was put on Lialda, and the loose bowel movements became much more frequent. Pepto and Imodium were suggested, but it has not stopped. I am still trying to do my workouts at the gym regardless. I am basically a healthy person with a healthy lifestyle. I am into yoga, cycling, and I also do yard work and otherwise enjoy life. I am on no meds otherwise except multivitamins.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Florida's tourism industry is taking a hit in the sour economy. It's the first time in seven years that tourism has dropped in the popular Sunshine State.
About 82.5 million visitors traveled to Florida in 2008, that's about 2.3 percent less than 2007. VISIT FLORIDA officials say visits were up the first part of 2008, but started tumbling when news about the economy hit. Officials released the statistics Monday.
More Florida residents are also sticking close to home during the rough economy, taking in-state vacations. Those trips increased by 22.9 percent in 2008.

IT'S ABOUT TIME that Success from Home Magazine, a magazine which features network marketing companies each month, FINALLY is featuring Team Beachbody. I have been purchasing Success from Home Magazine on and off for the past 4 years. I like to keep up with the trends in the industry and create networking connections with some of the people featured in it, because those relationships could lead to join projects down the road. But now the company I have been a part of, Team Beachbody, is finally getting it's spotlight in here–not that it needs it, since the company makes over $400 million annually. But this exposure means that people who have never known about the opportunity can finally have a chance to be a part of the business.
Many people are not even clued into the fact that Team Beachbody, the company that created the P90X fitness program, offers people the chance to get a piece of that $400 million a year. So to all of my dear readers who are viewing this blog post, it is time for you to get in on the business if you have been sitting on the fence! For people who visit this site regularly, you know my sincerity and love for the products and the company–and I also love getting a direct deposit in my own bank account each week because NETWORK MARKETING can provide that? But what is in it for YOU??? Well, I don't know if you are like me, but I am worried about what is happening in America. Our economy SUCKS. Have you felt the punches to your face with the tax increases taking place? A business means tax write offs! Have you seen friends you love (or yourself) become overweght? Beachbody can help them with your involvement! The peer support that Team Beachbody offers in this business can mean HUGE things for you. And since you found this website, understand that I can help you get a presence on the internet so that people can find YOU to join YOU in the business! Success from Home Magazine will help you because now we have even more crediblity (but like I said…not like we need it).
There is money to be made from being a part of Team Beachbody, as I mentioned earlier. The cut of $400 million dollars only comes from when you work the business. Just like any other network marketing company, you have to be able to follow directions and WORK! BUT, the TV leads you get from Beachbody really help you, because now you have people whom you can work with! So, in short, the company helps you build your business. Meanwhile, you share your fitness transformation inspiring others to do the same, and learning how to make money with my exclusive training site, http://fitnessmlmbusiness.com. This issue of Success From Home Magazine features Team Beachbody, and now this is another tool to help silence the doubters of what you will embark on when you earn money with Beachbody.
Team Beachbody is a wildly successful networking business model.. but here's the fun part: We're just getting started! Have you ever recommended a movie you just saw, or your favorite place it eat? Do you naturally possess the desire to share what excites you? Do you encourage others to be part of the fun? That's what Team Beachbody coaches do, and we also make sure the programs are effective… not because of the product itself not being of value, but you can't get any value out of something if you're not engaging and plugging into it.
Remember, Beachbody's P90X workout is the biggest extreme home fitness brand in the world. Are you going to work with me and capitalize from that? Or say nah, I'm good and keep on being depressed from your job you might lose tomorrow? The choice is yours. If you are an action taker, click the button below. If you are not, see ya.

Hong Kong Exchanges Said to Seek Loan for Potential LME Purchase
Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing Ltd. is seeking an acquisition loan to back a possible bid for the London Metal Exchange, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The loan may be as much as $3 billion, the people said, asking not to be identified because the details are private.
Hong Kong Exchanges spokesman Scott Sapp declined to comment on the potential financing package when contacted by telephone at his office in Hong Kong today. The company owns and operates the city's stock exchange, futures exchange and their related clearinghouses.
The London Metal Exchange, the world's biggest metals trading platform, said on March 29 it is in the process of answering questions from bidders, which must submit offers for the 135-year-old bourse by May 7. The LME got preliminary bids from CME Group Inc., NYSE Euronext and IntercontinentalExchange Inc., three people with direct knowledge of the matter said in February. Hong Kong Exchanges also bid, the South China Morning Post reported at the time, citing two people it didn't identify.
The LME handles more than 80 percent of global trade in metals futures and reported record volume of $15.4 trillion last year. It's being advised by Moelis & Co. on the sale process. LME may be valued at about $1.3 billion, according to Equity Research Desk, a hedge-fund adviser in Greenwich, Connecticut.
The talks with potential lenders were reported by Reuters earlier today.
Hong Kong Exchanges has been expanding its products and forming international alliances as it enters the final year of its three-year strategic plan and seeks to become a comprehensive financial center for China.
An "urgent action" is required to build its businesses in financial derivatives and commodities to meet its goal of being a comprehensive financial center for China, the bourse said in its earnings statement on Feb. 29, when it reported a 1 percent increase in its full-year net income.
"If it is the ultimate goal for Hong Kong Exchanges to diversify its revenue sources, I'm sure they are trying their best to bid for LME," Kenneth Yue, an analyst at CCB International Securities Ltd., said by telephone from Hong Kong today. "Looking into metal exchanges will enhance its revenues."

opener, and a possible matchup with North Carolina in the Tar
Heels' home state.
If the No. 7 seed Huskies (23-10) had been steadier during the
season, maybe they'd be playing closer to home.
Washington faces 10th-seeded Georgia on Friday in the teams'
East Regional opener. To get here, the Huskies traveled 2,802 miles
- the longest trip for any tournament team this year.
Coach Lorenzo Romar said Thursday that "if we had done a little
better job during our season, we wouldn't have had to go so far."
Georgia has been through a lot, too. The Bulldogs (21-11) spent
a few days on the bubble after an early loss in the SEC tournament.
