If I'd been on top of things last week, I would have had this particular nail look up then since it's a green and gold look. But the pictures landed in the wrong folder on the computer and got misplaced for a bit. So I'll share it now. I really liked the way this mani came together and at the time I had it on I was really in the mood for a good olive/army green. And I knew just the polish to get that!
So I did 2 coats of Zoya Yara over top of my usual Bridge the Ridge base coat. I don't remember right now if I used a quick dry top coat, but I probably did - either Out the Door or China Glaze Fast Forward.
Elves Bells is a tarnished gold fine glitter top coat with some medium sized holographic hex glitters thrown in for fun. One coat was perfect for the look I wanted, but I think this would be able to be built up to opacity with 2 coats (maybe 3 if the coats are thin). Elves Bells applied nicely with no need to dab on extra hex glitters. Elves Bells is a limited edition polish that came out for the 2012 holiday release.
I loved the way that Elves Bells pulled the look together with the extra gold shimmers and sparkles enhancing Zoya Yara's fine aged gold shimmer. I'd say these 2 polishes were made for each other (at least in my book).
Do you have enough variety of nail polish that no matter what color you are craving, you have at least one option?

Tile Design Ideas
We at McCall's Carpet One carry a large selection of tiles in our Nashville, TN store. Tiles are versatile because they are available in so many different sizes and colors, and because they can be used in a variety of settings. The most obvious use of tiles is on floors. Floor tiles are thick to withstand foot traffic and most potential drops and falls. They are water and heat resistant, so floor tiles are suitable for areas such as kitchens and bathrooms. We recommend ceramic tiles for floors since they are durable and more stylish.
Floor tiles are typically not noted for their design options, but they are available in different colors, shapes, and sizes.
Tile Design Options
Wall tiles are usually thinner than floor tiles since durability against foot traffic is not an issue. They also tend to be smaller to accommodate small spaces. Wall tiles are practical in kitchens and bathrooms because water and heat resistance is necessary. Ceramic tiles are suitable for walls, but for extra moist areas such as showers, porcelain tiles are better. Given the smaller sizes, wall tiles have more design options than floor tiles.
Tile Backsplashes
Another popular place for tiles is on backsplashes. Backsplash tiles are often found in kitchens, and they emphasize design above all. These tiles can form intricate designs (some of which even look like pictures!) that you can of course come up with on your own. Mosaic tiles, because of their sizes, colors, and shines, can be used in backsplashes.
To learn more about tile, contact McCalls Carpet One Floor & Home in Nashville, TN.

Adapted from the 1959 novel by Allen Drury, Otto Preminger's 1962 film of Advise and Consent was a hard-hitting political drama with an all-star cast. Preminger was one of the few directors of that time, along with John Ford, Alfred Hitchcock, and a few others, whose name as director was publicized as much as the stars of his films. Advise and Consent was not without controversy due to a subplot of a character being blackmailed over a wartime homosexual affair – at the time, not many A pictures had shown a gay bar on screen. The cast was a starry one: Henry Fonda, Charles Laughton (whose final film it was), Don Murray, Walter Pidgeon, Peter Lawford, Gene Tierney, Franchot Tone, Lew Ayres, Burgess Meredith, Paul Ford, George Grizzard, Inga Swenson, Edward Andrews, and in a small role, Betty White.
Preminger had always been a director with a keen ear for music and keen eye for up-and-coming or underrated and underused composers and so it was for Advise and Consent, when Preminger had the good musical taste to hire Jerry Fielding (who'd been a victim of the blacklist) to write his first film score, thus beginning his long film scoring career that gave the world some incredible scores like The Wild Bunch, Lawman, Straw Dogs, The Nightcomers, Chato's Land, Junior Bonner, The Mechanic, Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia, Johnny Got His Gun, The Outlaw Josey Wales, The Enforcer, Demon Seed, and many others.
In Advise and Consent, Fielding's great sense of melody is apparent from the first notes of its main theme, a beautiful piece that never overplays its musical hand in the film – it's a gorgeous melody. But it's the dramatic scoring that's so wonderful, especially for a first-timer. Fielding really has a feel for this story and these characters, as well as a terrific sense of how to set-up a scene, whether with exciting music, melancholy music, tense music, dissonant music – his score is a marvel.
RCA issued the soundtrack to the film, with the distinctive Saul Bass art adorning its cover. The album was, like all soundtracks of that era, fairly short at around thirty minutes. But what a thirty minutes it is. While there was a Spanish import CD of the album, it was not taken from the first generation album master, but a sub-master. For this release, Sony provided us with the original first-generation album master and it is, in a word, spectacular, and mastering engineer James Nelson has put his magic on it. The packaging also includes a lovely tribute to Fielding by Nick Redman. -KRITZERLAND

Obituary of Rose Mary Conlin
Pallbearers are: Karl Aanning, Aaron Gereaux, Justin Johnson, Brian Kleinschmit, David Kleinschmit, Jake Myers, Jeff Skovly and Joe Yaggie.
Rose was born on March 7th, 1955 in Fort Morgan, CO to George and Mercedes (Duman) Goedert. She was their only daughter and their pride and joy. The family later moved to Yankton, SD, where Rose lived the remainder of her childhood. Rose graduated from Yankton High School in 1973. While attending high school, she found her love of caring for others as a candy striper and nursing assistant at Sacred Heart Hospital and decided to become a nurse. She graduated as an LPN from Southeast Area School of Practical Nursing in Sioux Falls, SD in 1975 and returned to work at Sacred Heart Hospital. On June 13th, 1981 Rose married William (Bill) Glidden. The two were blessed with three children, Matthew, Patrick, and Rebecca, and they were able to travel the world as a family while Bill studied abroad for his medical degree. On September 14, 1989, Bill died suddenly and shortly after, Rose and her children moved back to Yankton to be closer to her parents. Rose returned as an employee at Sacred Heart Hospital in 1990 then soon transferred to Sister James Care Center where she was employed until her death. She was happily remarried on June 3, 1994 to William (Kim) Conlin and they recently celebrated their 23rd year of marriage.
Rose enjoyed cooking, crafting, and playing board games and cards. Spending time with friends and family was her favorite pastime. She especially enjoyed spending time with her grandkids and they cherish all of their wonderful memories with her taking them to various fun events, playing cards and board games, and coloring for hours on end. Being a grandmother was her greatest joy in life.
Rose will be dearly missed by so many, especially her husband, Kim Conlin of Yankton, SD; her children: Matt Glidden of Yankton, SD, Patrick Glidden and his fiancé, Kasi Tomoskie of Havre, MT, and daughter, Becky Glidden and her fiancé, Duane Tolsma of Yankton, SD; her dearest friends, Gail and Emily Ryken of Yankton, SD and her grandchildren, Jamison and Layla Rogers of Yankton, SD, who were the light of her life.
Rose now rests in heaven with her first husband, Bill Glidden and her parents, George and Mercedes Goedert.

I'm afraid I've taken my eye off the ball, somewhat, and forgotten to upload the last two newsletters! My apologies. You will have all received the printed copies some time ago, but here are the electronic versions!
Category Archives: St. Paul's Church
March and April Newsletters!
Sorry these are a bit late, but the March and April LCRA newsletters are below! This month, there's exciting news about a community orchard, the latest on the flood defences, puppets(!), the History Group talks, a fantastic Fashion Show (beginning of May!) and more!
It's beginning to look a bit…..
….like Christmas!
The Chester Green Christmas Window Trail will officially start from 6th December. You may have already noticed some of the windows going up in local businesses and houses, and if you find the house with the XMas Pud in the window, and return your map, you'll be entered into a prize draw!
We also featured on BBC Radio Derby last Friday. You can have a listen to our 5 minutes of fame below:
Also, below is the newsletter which will be delivered, along with a copy of the XMas trail map, any day now. There plenty going on this month including the candle lit carol service, at St Paul's Church on the 15th December, 6.30pm (with live brass band!). All the important info is attached below. Hope you all have a great December!
LCRA October Newsletter and XMas Window Trail!
Attached below is this month's newsletter (which is coming to you in printed form as we speak!) Lots of up and coming events this month including the excellent Halloween Disco at the Community Centre (always a great event!)
Chester Green Events Team are also running the Chester Green XMas Window Trail again this year (after last year's very successful pilot!) We had BBC Radio Derby feature us live on a morning slot and it was a great little advert for our area 🙂 If you'd like to be involved this year (you'll be included on a little map), then do get in touch.
On a more serious note, the newsletter gives updates on the Aida Bliss factory and how we're continuing to try and convince the owners to make the building safe (as we have been doing for many months, now) and also news that the incinerator on Alfreton Road has been recommended for approval by the council planning officer, even though there are over 400 objections (although the actual planning meeting was put back for some reason). The council planning seem to be more concerned with local residents using correct materials when replacing doors and windows, and turning down extensions, than they are with dangerous buildings (allowing the Aida Bliss building to remain in its current state) and potentially air polluting waste incinerators. Is our conservation area status and council planning really fit for purpose? If you've had issues with the council planners, I'd like to hear from you.
LCRA August Newsletter
Below is August's newsletter which you all will have received some time ago! All the usual updates for everything Chester Green! Comments always welcome 😉
LCRA July (and June!) Newsletters!
So, they'll be delivered to you soon, but here's the latest newsletter. As it looks like I forgot to post last month's, here's June's too!
Remember, it's the Picnic on the Green on Sunday 9th and it's looking like it should be a great little event for our local community. They'll be live music, games, face painting, a local theatre company, singers, and more
For the latest updates, do look at the Facebook page for the event.
Of course, there's much more going on in Chester Green, with more details in this month's newsletter below:
and here's last month's, too, for the record!
See you all on Sunday!
LCRA April Newsletter
The printed copy of the newsletter will be making its way to you from this evening, but in the meantime, here's the electronic version. April is looking to be a busy and exciting month for Chester Greenies!
- We have a quiz night (7th April)
- Mixed Crafts, Gentle Exercise and Zumba classes at the community centre
- Easter Table Top Sale (8th April)
- Mirrors of Mary (performance – 12th April)
- Mindfulness Course (starting on 18th April)
- Our City, Our River Flood Defence Drop in Session (19th April)
- 1940s Variety Show (from Jeremy and Becky from Pocket Panto – 22nd April)
And after the success of the Queen's Birthday celebrations last year, a 'Picnic on the Green' will be held on Sunday 9th July (save the date!)
A big thank you to Alternative Tiles on Mansfield Road for sponsoring this issue, too.
All the details can be found in this month's newsletter!
February Newsletter (and Jan Update!)
Below are the February Newsletter (which are being distributed shortly) and an electronic copy of the January update circulated earlier (we don't normally do a January newsletter, but something important came up)! Lots of updates contained within…do have a look 🙂
December Newsletter and Chester Green XMas Window Trail!
Linked below is the December (and November…oops!) newsletter with all you need to know about Chester Green's upcoming events and news for the Christmas period!
LCRA December Newsletter
LCRA November Newsletter
We're also excited to announce that the Chester Green Christmas Window Trail will be starting on 6th December (running to the 6th January). The map of the 31 windows taking part is below. Why not have an explore in December, and see if you can guess the theme of each window!
Chester Green Christmas Window Trail Map 2016
Finally, we have an appeal! The newsletter is written and distributed by volunteers. The printing costs are usually covered by the Residents Association, but we're nearly out of money. We produce 1000 copies each month, and if each house gave just £1, this would fund the newsletter for approximately 4 years! See details in the newsletter if you'd like to help keep the newsletter going and make a donation. No matter how small, it all helps 🙂
Happy nearly December, Chester Greenies!
October Newsletter and Halloween Disco 29th October
October's newsletter is below (you'll have received the paper copy at the beginning of the month!). Also, do come along the annual Halloween Disco on Saturday 29th October at the Community Centre from 7pm onwards. They'll be games, food and a bar with a disco too! Always a great night, and prizes for the best Halloween outfits!

According to the link above, a Columbia, Tennessee woman allegedly killed her husband by
stuffing a ball gag in his mouth, placing masking tape over his mouth and eyes, wrapping his
head in an large bandage, tying his hands and legs behind his back so that he was immobilized,
and then leaving him alone for nearly 20 hours. When she came home, she found he had died.
-The Learning Channel has canceled an upcoming airing of the new documentary, "Ball Gags:
Made with Pride in the U.S.A."
-Antonio Sabato Jr. paid $1 million to buy out his contract so that he no longer has to appear
in any ball gag ads for Youngston Ball Gags.
-Barack Obama stated that he has never worn a ball gag. Hilary Clinton countered that if a
photo of her opponent wearing a ball gag surfaces, it should cost him the nomination.
-Charles Gibson canceled his upcoming report on ABC news: "Ball Gags: Could They Lead
America Out of a Recession?"
-With tears in her eyes, Heather Mills angrily denied rumors that she bullied Sir Paul
McCartney to wear a ball gag during their brief marriage.
-Youngston Ball Gags has pulled the plug on an upcoming launch of its line of ball gags for
-Former political adviser Dick Morris and former New York governor Elliot Spitzer have been
approached about being the new spokesman for ball gag safety.
-Congress is considering making it mandatory for ball gags to have warning labels stating
that it is not safe for individuals to wear one for longer than 15 hours.
-The ending of "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" will be reshot so that
instead of Marion (Karen Allen) putting a ball gag in Indy's mouth after tying his hands behind
his back with his own whip, she will instead put electrodes on "sensitive areas" and repeatedly
shock him. (It should be noted that the fictional character enjoys this.)
-The National Ball Gag Association has issued a new slogan: "Ball gags don't kill people; people
kill people."

Top Ten Reasons Why "Prom Night" was #1 at the Box
Office This Weekend:
-Having no big-name stars meant that everyone was a possible victim. This kept movie-goers constantly
guessing as to who would be killed next, thus greatly increasing the box office gross.
-Having no plot meant that anything could happen, especially anything inexplicable and/or beyond
credible belief. Movie-goers who hate plot were able to buy a ticket without any fear of being confused
by a story, thus greatly increasing the box office gross.
-Having no budget meant that movie-goers weren't distracted by grand, impressive set-pieces or
eye-popping, award-winning visual effects, thus greatly increasing the box office gross.
-Having no blood meant that those who faint at the sight of blood would be able to buy a ticket without
any fear of passing out, thus greatly increasing the box office gross.
-Having no scary moments meant that everyone could enjoy the movie, especially very young children,
thus greatly increasing the box office gross.
-Having no talent on the screen meant that movie-goers weren't distracted by good or even adequate
performances, thus greatly increasing the box office gross.
-Having no product placement meant that movie-goers could focus on the lack of stars, plot, budget,
blood, scares, and talent, instead of pointing at the screen and yelling, "Look! The killer eats In-N-Out
Hamburgers! Look! The killer wears clothes from the Jaclyn Smith Collection at K-Mart! Look! The killer
found out where the prom was by using Mapquest.com!"
-Having no access to a high school gymnasium or hotel ballroom meant that the film was shot in the
executive producer's mother's basement, thus keeping the budget at zero.
-Having no access to electrical lighting meant that the production had to rely entirely on daylight, thus
the title is actually incorrect (it should have been "Prom Day").
-Having no superheroes in the film meant that there was no one to save the victims at the last second
with heat rays, high-tech arrows, ice spikes, overextended limbs, shields thrown like frisbees, freezing
breath, teleportation, magic spells, or boomerangs shaped like animals.

Sometime before the end of the year, this website will be going full archive unless I can get support for maintaining the daily RSS feeds. That means there will be no updating, although you will still be able to access the articles archived here. Regardless, you also will no longer be able to deduct any donations you make because Vaccination News will no longer be a non-profit. (Because I got so few donations in the past, we lost our "public charity" status some years ago and had to become a foundation, which costs much more to file with the IRS, and I am no longer willing to subsidize those costs.)

April has been for sometime our National Autism Awareness Month.
This year, the CDC decided to set the week of April 16-23, 2016 as the National Infant Immunization Week to coincide with the "World Immunization Week".
In the United States, the number of recommended vaccines increased steadily since the 1960s as did related adverse events (AEs) and their costly litigations. Awards for vaccine injuries became so frequent by the 1980's that vaccine manufacturers reportedly threatened to get out of the vaccine market. Terrified and anxious to remedy the situation and to ensure the supply of present and future vaccines, the health authorities and pro-vaccine lobby convinced the US Congress to introduce the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 (Act), thus creating the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP).
The VICP was to provide financial compensation to individuals injured by a VICP-covered vaccine or to their families in case of minors. Compensation for a death resulting from vaccination was capped at $ 250,000. [MMR manufacturer Merck also marketed Vioxx, an arthritis medication. A few years ago, a Texas Jury found Merck liable for a Vioxx death and awarded the widow of the deceased $24 million for mental anguish and economic losses. The jury also awarded her an additional $229 million in punitive damages. Because Texas Law capped punitive damages, it was expected that the widow would only receive around $26.1 million. http://tinyurl.com/j4z3te6 ]
The vaccine injury table was introduced with the Act in 1986. It lists the vaccine adverse events that are automatically compensated if they occur within a certain period of time after vaccination. Chronic arthritis is a known complication of rubella (German measles) and rubella vaccination. Chronic arthritis within 42 days of MMR vaccination is a "Table Injury". Michelle Cedillo reportedly started limping soon after her MMR vaccination and later went on to have terrible discomfort and disability related to chronic arthritis that still needs treatment. Why this specific "table" disability was not deemed compensable is another unfortunate twist in the case.
Once approved, the Act effectively shielded and protected the vaccine industry and the physicians or other licensed professionals who administered vaccines.
As a pediatrician, I have testified as an expert witness in hearings related to Vaccine Injury and Pediatric Disabilities. This report will focus on Michelle Cedillo's case and how she was deprived of well-deserved compensation for a vaccine injury.
For a comprehensive legal review of the case, please see:
BRIEF OF AMICI CURIAE ELIZABETH BIRT CENTER FOR AUTISM LAW AND ADVOCACY, et al. IN SUPPORT OF APPELLANTS AND IN FAVOR OF REVERSAL by Mary Holland JD http://tinyurl.com/gwsusgn
The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program
On Friday April 15, 2016, the opening statement on the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program website was:
"Vaccines save lives by preventing disease.
Most people who get vaccines have no serious problems. Vaccines, like any medicines, can cause side effects, but most are very rare and very mild. Some health problems that follow vaccinations are not caused by vaccines.
In very rare cases, a vaccine can cause a serious problem, such as a severe allergic reaction. In these instances, the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) may provide financial compensation to individuals who file a petition and are found to have been injured by a VICP-covered vaccine. Even in cases in which such a finding is not made, petitioners may receive compensation through a settlement."
The wording of the above is certainly peculiar to say the least.
Since its inception in 1988, over 16,794 petitions have been filed, 14,441 petitions have been adjudicated and only 4,526 have been determined to be compensable.
There were 2,146 compensated cases in all from 1/1/ 2006 to 12/31/2014.
They included: DTaP vaccine 121 cases, Hepatitis B vaccine 61 cases, HPV vaccine 91 cases, Influenza vaccine 1,296 cases, MMR vaccine 94 cases and Tdap vaccine (adult) 156 cases. http://www.hrsa.gov/vaccinecompensation/data/statisticsreport.pdf
The MMR vaccine and the Omnibus Autism Proceeding
According to a May 2011 report in PEDIATRICS titled "The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program": "There are 3 means to qualify for compensation: (1) a petitioner must show that an injury found on the vaccine injury table occurred in the prescribed time interval; (2) prove that the vaccine caused the condition; or (3) prove that the vaccine significantly aggravated a preexisting condition. The table which lists specific injuries or conditions and the time frames of onset after a vaccine is administered, allows a legal "presumption of causation." If a petitioner cannot establish a table injury, or no table injuries are listed for a particular vaccine, a petitioner has the option of proving causation. Beginning in 2001, petitioners began filing claims under the VICP alleging autism (or autism spectrum disorder) from MMR vaccine, thimerosal-containing vaccines, or both.4 In 2002, the Chief Special Master of the Court created the Omnibus Autism Proceeding to adjudicate the thousands of claims expected. As of January 2011, more than 5600 autism cases have been filed.5 Of these 5600 cases, more than 4800 cases are pending, and more than 800 claims have been dismissed at the request of petitioners or dismissed by the court because they were filed outside the VICP statute of limitations for injury claims. Some families have gone on to the tort system to pursue legal remedies. Several hundred suits alleging vaccine-related autism were pending adjudication at the beginning of 2010.
Entitlement hearings on general causation and 3 test cases for each theory under consideration were held in 2007 and 2008. In February 2009, 3 special masters ruled in favor of the HHS on the first theory (a combined theory that both MMR vaccines and thimerosal-containing vaccines cause autism or autism spectrum disorder). Appeals in each case were made to judges of the CFC, who all ruled in favor of the HHS. Appeals in two of the three cases to US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit also resulted in decisions in favor of HHS." http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/127/Supplement_1/S74
Of the three original test cases, the case of Michelle Cedillo was heard first.
The case, filed on 12/09/98 was heard by three Special Masters starting June 11, 2007. The Decision was published on February 12, 2009 and the Appellate Decision on August 27, 2010. During those long twelve years and to this day, the health of the beautiful child who was totally normal in the first year of her life has been deteriorating steadily and the lives of her wonderful parents and grandparents have been effectively devastated.
Very well documented before and at the "Hearing" were the following:
· Michelle had a normal first year of life
· She had received all the pediatric Thimerosal-containing vaccines usually administered during the first year of life
· She had also received her recommended Varicella and MMR live-virus vaccines
· Following her MMR vaccination, Michelle developed a multitude of neurological, intellectual, social, ophthalmic, gastrointestinal and arthritic complications, all well-documented by specialists
· Michelle had clear and certified RT-PCR evidence of measles virus genomic RNA in her ileal biopsy, a clear indication of a direct association between measles virus and her gastrointestinal findings
· That very reliable and accurate testing had been performed by Dr. John O'Leary, a reputable scientist, in his superbly equipped Unigenetics Laboratory in Ireland
· There was also reliable evidence that the detected measles virus RNA was actually from a "vaccine type" measles virus
· Michelle had never had measles

BRIEF OF AMICI CURIAE ELIZABETH BIRT CENTER FOR AUTISM LAW AND ADVOCACY, et al. IN SUPPORT OF APPELLANTS AND IN FAVOR OF REVERSAL
2007: Limited Chronology of Events
As stated earlier, the Cedillo case was filed in December 1998 and all her subsequent evidential reports were introduced as they became available.
Respondent's experts hired to rebut complicated scientific issues normally submit their reports early enough to allow the Plaintiffs' attorneys to examine them, have their experts examine them too and give those experts enough time to submit their own detailed responses.
The actual period of time differs from court to court and even from judge to judge but there certainly have been situations where scientific evidence not presented early enough, was summarily excluded.
It appears that Michelle's biopsy findings and Dr. John O'Leary's interpretation of those findings were introduced in evidence in February 2007.
According to British Freelance Journalist Brian Deer, DOH attorneys did not know that there were British experts who had actually inspected the Laboratory of Dr. O'Leary at the request of the British Government.
[Quote - Mr. Deer: … I'm proud of my work investigating Wakefield. Unlike Kirby, I am not a campaigner, have never advocated any pharmaceutical product, and have never made statements on whether or not any vaccine may or may not cause any medical condition. If there are any editorial changes in any of my published work to that effect, I don't know of them. I'm a reporter, and have simply sought out the facts on Wakefield's research.
That said, I'm also very proud that, like the GMC, the US government sought my help in mounting of its case in Cedillo, copiously borrowing pages of evidence from my website and displaying some in court. I was surprised by this. I assumed that they would have sophisticated contacts with other governments and with industry, and could pretty much get what they wanted. However, on a number of occasions I would come home, find an email from the department of justice asking me for a document, and see that the next day it was being run in court. Bit of a seat of the pants job by the DoJ (brought about by the plaintiffs changing their case at the last minute). Indeed, I recall supplying a key document on the O'Leary lab business, which the DoJ didn't seem to know about just weeks before the hearing. Hence the late surfacing of Bustin and Chadwick. It was me wot done that, and I'm glad.
I don't say these things to boast, only perhaps to wonder why – if there are all kinds of grand conspiracies behind the defence of vaccine safety – governments and regulators are so untogether that a mere journalist can get ahead of them in the game.
I think, for example, the British department of health should simply seize the medical records of the Lancet children, analyse them and pass the matter to the director of public prosecutions. All this GMC stuff, allowing doctors to investigate themselves, is a huge waste of dosh, although I say so myself. I gave them my materials, as was my public duty, but IMO the GMC's lawyers should have said "this is not for us", and brought in the DoH and the police. End of quote]
On April 14, 2010, I submitted a Freedom of Information Act Request to the US DOJ concerning any and all communications between Mr. Deer and the Department of Justice.
On November 3, 2010 the Attorney in Charge informed me that my request had been referred to the Civil Division's Torts Branch, Vaccine Injury Compensation Program Section and that after a thorough search, that office had identified 15 pages of responsive e-mail communications. Eleven (11) pages were not exempt from disclosure and were provided to me. The remaining four pages were withheld "to protect the personal privacy of an individual."
The first provided e-mail from Brian Deer to a DOH correspondent was sent Tuesday, January 9, 2007- 4:52 PM. It contained a copy of a long communication by him to a doctor who had co-authored an important article with Dr. Andrew Wakefield. For multiple reasons, I cannot comment on the long three and a half page e-mail that ended by the following somewhat strange invitation by Mr. Deer: "It may well be that, recognizing the public interest, both over the safety of children by means of vaccination, and over the integrity of research publication processes, you will candidly offer me your help. I'd respectfully suggest that this would be to your professional and personal credit. However, I can't hold your feet to the fire. I'm duty-bound to raise this material with you, and to seek your comments. I hope that you'll see the sense of responding in an appropriate way."
A second e-mail from Mr. Deer dated April 3, 2007 -11:44 AM (just two months before the start of the Cedillo hearing) contained advice to the DOJ on how to obtain dispatches from a TV Channel in London. After directing the DOH representative to the Wakefield information on his website, Mr. Deer added: "I also have a long letter I sent to the UK's General Medical Council recently, explaining how Wakefield rigged his original research paper in The Lancet. You can have it if you want, but I am not sure you can evidence anything without access to the children's records. Pursuant to court orders, I've read these records, and the GMC have copies. But I'm not sure how this helps you.
Observing your Omnibus action from the sidelines, as I do, it seems somewhat odd to me that vast quantities of US government and industry documents are being handed over to the plaintiffs, when similar disclosure doesn't seem to be sought from their side. But maybe I'm missing something.
Possibly, with regard to the Lancet case series, University College, London, might conceivably hand them over to you without too much fuss. But I realize that time is getting on at your end." [End of quote]
A third e-mail dated April 11, 2007 -12:51 PM started by: "You've requested to see my letter of February 2007 to the UK General Medical Council concerning the conduct of Dr. Andrew Wakefield. I understand that the purpose of your request is to assist in preparations for a case before the federal special masters, concerned, among other things, with whether the MMR vaccine can cause developmental disorders. …"
Mr. Deer went on: "The safety of children by means of vaccination is plainly a matter of the greatest public concern. There can be no doubt that the US Department of Justice, presenting its case before the Special Masters, is a party with an interest in the questions raised in my letter. Moreover, I believe that this succinctly explains how Dr. Wakefield obtained the results he published in the Lancet in February 28, 1998. These are complex matters, and it may be that my rather prolonged study is of some small assistance…"
In the next e-mail, less than an hour later (4/11/2007: 1:46PM), Mr. Deer after discussing another issue and still believing that Dr. Andrew Wakefield will be testifying at the Cedillo Hearing stated: "Personally, if I was examining Wakefield, I would simply run him through four of his publications…"
In an e-mail on April 12, 2007 -3:32 PM, Mr. Deer wrote:" I am trying to send you a witness statement that was read in the Court in the MMR/MR litigation, and is therefore an open document. … On the other thing, you probably need to call me."
The above exchange suggests that Mr. Deer started discussing the importance to call Stephen A. Bustin PhD around mid-April 2007. At the time, Dr. Bustin was Professor of Molecular Science, Institute of Cell and Molecular Science, Barts and the London, University of London and Visiting Professor of Molecular Biology School of Health and Social Sciences, Middlesex University.
On Thursday, June 7, 2007, four days before the Cedillo hearing was to start, Attorneys for DOJ requested permission to file Dr. Bustin's report.
On June 8, the Cedillos and their attorneys were first informed by the Special Masters that Dr. Bustin had been discovered, that he had filed a report but that supporting documents records from the British Court had not been secured. Plaintiff attorney objected and was turned down. She then asked for more time to prepare and was again turned down.
On Monday, June 11, 2007: The Cedillo hearing got underway and Special Masters Vowel, Campbell-Smith and Hastings issued their official order on the Bustin matter: "For the purposes of the Omnibus Autism Proceeding ("OAP"), and for the reasons indicated in the ruling issued on June 8, 2007, in Cedillo v. Sec'y of HHS, the undersigned Special Masters will defer deciding whether we will rely on the reports of Dr. Bustin (Respondent's Exhibits WW and XX) as evidence in the OAP. However, the parties may question Dr. Bustin or any other expert witness concerning the contents of these two reports in the proceedings commencing on June 11, 2007.
We need not decide the issue of consideration of the reports of Drs. Simmons and Rima in the United Kingdom case of Savers et al. vs Smith Kline Beecham Plc and others for June 11, 2007. Respondent orally indicated after the recorded status conference on June 8, 2007, that it will not ask to consider these reports as evidence at this time. We will revisit this issue, should respondents seek future consideration of these reports in the OAP.
In their recorded status conference held on June 8, 2007, the PSC, as well as counsel for Michelle Cedillo, raised the issue of access to all of the reports filed in Sayers. Should the PSC file for release of these expert reports, we will favorably consider joining in a quest for release of relevant reports." [End of quote]
The above order and its resulting legal ramifications at the very onset of the FIRST of 5,000 + very important vaccine injury compensation cases were of course at the very least bizarre. Although some urgency was required to get things rolling, completion and perfect documentation were certainly much more important in THIS case. For the Special Masters to say that they will allow Dr. Bustin to testify and then later decide whether they will consider his testimony is a very unusual decision. Nine years later, I am at a loss to decide what was worse: That such ruling happened in this very important legal proceeding or that it actually happened or is still happening in other vaccine injury compensation cases.
The fact is, such a ruling would have been unheard of in a Real Court, with a Real Jury, Real Rules and Regulations and a Justice Scale on the wall.
One can only imagine a "Real Court" scene with the judge explaining to the Jury: "You are now going to hear some very complicated scientific information from this British scientist who was very recently discovered by DOJ, thanks to a tip from a reporter. He inspected the Unigenetics Laboratory where the Biopsy of Michelle Cedillo was tested. He also examined related laboratory notebooks and recordings. Unfortunately all those supporting documents are now sealed by a British Court and they cannot be obtained for review. In other words you are going to have to base your verdict only on what the expert who has received very large sums of money from vaccine companies producing MMR vaccines decides to tell you and base your verdict on that alone without other supporting evidence. Lastly, I don't even know whether, when or how I may use that British expert's information."
On Wednesday, June 20, 2007, Dr. Bustin was sworn to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth before he testified.
The following exchange on appeal, Judges Newman, Linn and Dyk officiating, should have been all what was needed to impeach Bustin's appearance and testimony. Unfortunately, that did not happen.
[Judge Dyk to the DOJ Attorney -Beginning at mark 23:20]
Judge: Is it the government's position that you can put on an expert witness without putting on the underlying documents - seems to me troubling. If this were a proceeding governed by the federal rules of civil procedure rule 26, you'd have to produce the underlying documents and if you didn't the witness' testimony would be excluded, is that correct?
DOJ: That is correct your honor.
Judge: Why should vaccine proceedings be different? I understand that the federal rules don't technically apply here but it seems to me a matter of fundamental fairness that if a witness is going to testify that the other side should get the underlying materials to enable them to cross examine.
DOJ: Your Honor. We don't even know if the underlying materials exist and we don't know that what's...........
Judge: Well that's your problem, you know. If they don't exist maybe the witness' testimony should be excluded too. But under the federal rules- you- it's your job if you're gonna put on a witness to provide the materials that the witness relied on. …
DOJ: With all due respect, we tried your Honor. We actually...our initial..ah...ah..when we first went to the United Kingdom we tried to get as much as we could. We tried to get the petitioners expert reports that were filed in the United Kingdom. We tried to get everything.
Judge Neuman: Was the petitioner and petitioners counsel present in the company of these various expeditions to try and get the evidence from England?
DOJ: In February of 2007 when the petitioners in the Cedillo case first filed their expert report, that's the first time the government became aware that results from Unigenetics were going to be vitally important in this litigation.
Judge Dyk: Was the petitioner notified that this was going on?
DOJ: Noo..no. We...we went to the United. No, we went to the United Kingdom on our own to try to get as much as we could. I mean we were in the process of putting our case together
Judge Newman: But this isn't an adversarial proceeding. The idea here is to find the truth, scientific facts, causation or what's known and to implement the policy of the statute. It's not a matter of surprise.
DOJ: This wasn't a surreptitious proceeding. With all due respect to Ms. Chin-Caplan
Judge Dyk: It may not have been surreptitious, but wasn't there an obligation?
DOJ: I...I don't. Respectfully your Honor, I don't believe so. I mean, we had to hustle to use a coloquial term. The..the..the trial was scheduled for June. We didn't know until the end of February 2007 that Unigentics was going to be vitally important to this litigation.
Judge: What did you do to get, to try to get the underlying data?
DOJ: We made an application. We first consulted with the solicitors in the United Kingdom because the United Kingdom is...has a special proceeding where these things are often sealed and it takes an actual act of court to unseal them. We went to the solicitors in the United Kingdom and said we...we want all these...all these reports. We didn't really know what was there...
Judge: Nah nah nah no forget reports. I didn't say reports. We're talking about the underlying data. What did you do to get the underlying data?
DOJ: We..we went to the..we went to the solicitor and said we would like everything that we could possibly get our hands on that pertains to Unigenetics underlying data. All the reports both reports that were filed on behalf of the plaintiffs in the United Kingdom and reports that were on behalf of the manufacturers. Our solicitors after putting the package together said 'you know, your application is going to be denied. It's too broad. You need to hone in on what you really want because this...this was a case --- of first impression --- in the United Kingdom. This had never been done before. It was a rule of law that had just been created.
Judge: Did you do that?
DOJ: And our solicitors said...yes...we honed it down to the three that we were able to get.
Judge: Three what?
DOJ: The three reports.
Judge: What about the underlying data? Did you ask for the underlying data?
DOJ: I...I don't believe so, but then we were under counsel from our solicitors.
Judge: I don't understand not asking for the underlying data? You knew you were going to put in Bustin's testimony. Why didn't you ask for the underlying data from the UK courts? That would seem to be fundamental…" [End of quote]
In her cross-examination in Vaccine Court, plaintiff's attorney questioned Dr. Bustin about the Unigenetics Laboratory Inspection and his report for the UK MMR litigation: "I think you indicated that you spent roughly 1,500 hours at 150 pounds sterling" and he answered "Yes, that is correct." On further questioning, Dr. Bustin testified that he received the payment checks from the solicitors but that the funds actually came from Merck, Aventis and GSK.
[Listening by phone, with my calculator handy, that inspection sounded to me like the most expensive inspection of a laboratory in history.]
When he was asked what he was paid to come to the US to testify, Dr. Bustin answered: "It's $250 an hour while I am here and $125 an hour while I'm traveling and nothing while I'm sleeping, I think. And also my airfare and hotel are being paid for."
[I remember thinking: "OH! He is a comedian too."]
Dr. Bustin also mentioned that at his regular job, his salary was 60,000 pounds or roughly $120,000 a year in 2007. If Dr. Bustin worked 40 hours a week, he was making less than 29 pounds sterling an hour at his real job.
Because Dr. John O'Leary was an uncontested expert with a stellar reputation, as the Special Masters themselves noted, Dr. Bustin needed to produce extremely solid evidence that Michelle's RNA results were wrong and that the laboratory where the test was performed was unreliable. He never did.
The British expert testified that his issues with Unigenetics were related to inability to detect minimal inflammation or "Low copy numbers".
Michelle's biopsy had revealed "high copy numbers" and only "high copy numbers" indicating extensive inflammation. Michelle never had any issue with "low copy numbers."
In their decision on February 12, 2009, the Special Masters mentioned that they were aware of a study by Hornig et al that was supported by a CDC grant and was published in September 2008. In that study, Real Time PCR testing was performed on biopsies similar to Michelle Cedillo's at a Harvard University Laboratory, at the Measles, Mumps, Rubella, and Herpesvirus Laboratory Branch of the CDC and at the Department of Histopathology, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland where Dr. John O'Leary is Director.
The authors reported that "The results were consistent across the three laboratory sites."
The complete abstract of the report is reproduced because of the importance of its wording. "Molecular diagnostics is one of the major growth areas of modern medicine, with real-time PCR established as a qualitative and quantitative technology that is rapid, accurate and sensitive. The sequencing of the human genome, comprehensive genomic, mRNA and miRNA expression profiling of numerous cancer types, the ongoing identification of disease-associated polymorphisms and the expanding availability of genomic sequence information for human pathogens has opened the door to a wide range of translational applications for this technology. Consequently, novel real-time PCR assays have been developed for diagnosis and prognosis, treatment monitoring, transplant biology and pathogen detection, as well as more controversial uses such as lifestyle genotyping. However, this technology is still troubled by significant technical deficiencies. Hence its often-improper use as a clinical tool has important public health implications, most recently demonstrated through its association with the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine/autism controversy. This serves as a timely reminder of the indispensable requirement for careful experimental design, validation and analysis."
It seems ludicrous that Dr. Bustin seems to trust the test and its results relative to some of the most important and most sophisticated scientific research going on in the world and yet intimates that the same test is not really reliable in identifying measles virus RNA.
In his decision, Special Master Hastings discussing petitioners' exhibit 130 (p. 70) stated that according to Shiels, O'Leary et al, 12 of 12 gut biopsies from children with developmental disorders tested at the O'Leary laboratory "indicated the origin of the virus to be vaccine strain". Yet, Special Master Hastings rejected the Shiels information insisting that the petitioners did not show conclusively that Michelle's intestinal biopsy revealed vaccine-strain measles virus RNA.
[ http://www.uscfc.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/vaccine_files/Hastings-Cedillo.pdf ]
If indeed Michelle's identified measles exposure was not from vaccine, it would have had to be due to ONLY ONE OTHER CAUSE: Infection.
While in Washington DC, unless he was on the stand testifying, Dr. Bustin was most frequently seen chatting with freelance reporter Deer. This is not exactly what is expected from a so-called medical expert with no declared conflict of interest, brought across the Atlantic to testify in an important MMR-Autism related case, a subject dear to Mr. Deer and his "Raison de Vivre" for a dozen years.
Furthermore, when one thought that we were done with "Funny Stuff", Dr. Bustin surprised everyone by giving an interview shortly after his return to England, when the Special Masters in the case were still deliberating and before they had rendered an opinion on the case.
On Wednesday July 4, 2007, exactly two weeks after Dr. Bustin testified in Washington DC and eight days after the end of the Hearing, Spiked Online published with great fanfare: "The MMR-autism theory? There's nothing in it': Michael Fitzpatrick talks to Stephen Bustin, whose devastating testimony in a US court demolished the last shred of evidence against vaccines." http://www.spiked-online.com/index.php?/site/article/3562/
According to Fitzpatrick, a physician and an outspoken enemy of Dr. Wakefield, "Testimony in a US court last week by London-based molecular biologist Stephen Bustin comprehensively exposed the unreliability of O'Leary's findings, based on an investigation of his laboratory carried out in early 2004. 'It has been incredibly frustrating', Professor Bustin told me on his return from the USA. 'For three years we have been unable [for legal reasons] to reveal our findings. Now I want to get the message out about the O'Leary/Wakefield research: there's nothing in it'.
Fitzpatrick went on to the real purpose of his interview, just before the GMC hearings in London "…the testimony of Bustin and other expert witnesses was yet another blow for the anti-vaccine campaigners as Andrew Wakefield returns to London next week from his new base in a private clinic in Texas to face charges of professional misconduct at the General Medical Council…"
It is likely that Deer, Fitzpatrick and Bustin celebrated when they heard the "off the wall" GMC decision and the news that Dr. Wakefield was going to lose his license to practice Medicine. It is just as likely that they never gave a second thought to what also happened to a sweet little girl in Arizona.
In his Cedillo Decision, Special Master Hastings stated on page 41:
As noted above, the petitioners contend in this case that the MMR vaccine can, in general, contribute to the causation of both autism and chronic gastrointestinal dysfunction, and did contribute to the causation of Michelle Cedillo's own autism and chronic gastrointestinal symptoms.
There is one key factual allegation that underlies all of those causation contentions. That is, all of the petitioners' causation theories depend upon the validity of certain testing that purported to find evidence of persisting measles virus in the biological materials of Michelle and a number of other autistic children. Specifically, the petitioners' primary expert concerning the causation of autism, Dr. Marcel Kinsbourne, made it clear that his opinion in any individual case would depend upon the existence of a reliable laboratory finding of persisting vaccine-strain measles virus in the body of the individual in question. (Tr. 1180A, 1183A, 1196A.) Similarly, the petitioners' primary expert concerning the causation of chronic gastrointestinal dysfunction, Dr. Arthur Krigsman, also specified that his opinion in any individual case would depend upon the existence of such a reliable laboratory finding of persisting vaccine-strain measles virus in the individual. (Tr. 531-33A, 538A.)
Therefore, a key issue in this case concerns the reliability and validity of the laboratory testing that purported to find evidence of persisting measles virus in the intestinal tissue of Michelle and other autistic children.57" [End of quote]
Noteworthy and certainly strange is the fact that Special Master Hastings never mentioned Dr. Bustin in the above opening remarks related to the Unigenetics Laboratory Testing.
In fact, Special Master Hastings did not mention Dr. Bustin until page 49 of the document.
On page 52, Special Master Hastings summarized Bustin's testimony: "Dr. Bustin's overall conclusion, after his complete assessment of the Unigenetics work, was 72 that it is "clear" that, in its testing for measles virus RNA, that laboratory was erroneously detecting a DNA contaminant, and not detecting measles virus RNA. (Tr. 2035-37.) He also stated that "I do not believe there is any measles virus in any of the cases they have looked at." (Tr. 2036, emphasis added.) He added that this opinion extended specifically to the Unigenetics test result reported for Michelle Cedillo. (Tr. 2037.)" [End of quote]
Regarding the first two statements, Special Master Hastings is implying that he and the other two Special Masters became convinced that Michelle Cedillo was never injured by the MMR vaccination she received because Dr. Bustin said so even though:
A: No one in the USA, including the DOJ Attorneys, had heard of Bustin three months before the Cedillo Hearing started
B: Bustin was allowed to present highly technical information about "his inspection" even though the O'Leary Lab notebooks and documents on which most of his testimony was based, were under seal in a British court.
C. Bustin was permitted to quote extensively from a report by someone else even though that report was also under seal and unavailable..
D. Bustin had recently received obscene sums of money from three vaccine makers including Merck, the company that produced the MMR vaccine that was administered to Michelle Cedillo before she showed signs and symptoms of regressive autism.
E. Bustin discussed the case with a British investigative reporter in Washington DC while the hearing was going on.
F. Bustin who had respected a gag order by a British court for three years, disclosed confidential details of a yet undecided US legal proceeding upon his return to London.
It is worth noting that at the end of his introductory statement about the Laboratory testing on page 41 of his decision, Special Master Hastings stated: "Therefore, a key issue in this case concerns the reliability and validity of the laboratory testing that purported to find evidence of persisting measles virus in the intestinal tissue of Michelle and other autistic children".
Yet on page 52, Special Master Hastings stated very clearly that "this opinion extended specifically to the Unigenetics test result reported for Michelle Cedillo. (Tr. 2037.)"
If that is so then one must ask:
• Why were the legal rights of ALL those other children to compensation abrogated because of Michelle's test results and other testimony in the "First Test Case"?
• Why were their medical records and reported distinct vaccine adverse events never reviewed?
• Why were the specific findings of "Table" vaccine injuries never considered in all of those other cases?
• Why were over 5,000 + cases never heard, their specific findings never presented and their rights wiped out in one swift scoop?
The language and the wording of Special Master Hastings decision become extremely important if one is aware that His Honor walked over to Michelle, had a good look at her and then spoke cordially and kindly with her parents for several minutes.
In his decision, Special Master Hastings stated: "The petitioners in this case have advanced a causation theory that has several parts, including contentions (1) that thimerosal-containing vaccines can cause immune dysfunction, (2) that the MMR vaccine can cause autism, and (3) that the MMR vaccine can cause chronic gastrointestinal dysfunction. However, as to each of those issues, I concluded that the evidence was overwhelmingly contrary to the petitioners' contentions. . . . Considering all of the evidence, I found that the petitioners have failed to demonstrate that thimerosal containing vaccines can contribute to causing immune dysfunction, or that the MMR vaccine can contribute to causing either autism or gastrointestinal dysfunction. I further conclude that while Michelle Cedillo has tragically suffered from autism and other severe conditions, the petitioners have also failed to demonstrate that her vaccinations played any role at all in causing those problems." http://www.immunize.org/catg.d/p4029.pdf
Special Master Hastings appears to be saying: "I have seen this child with my own eyes. She is certainly and tragically suffering from autism and other severe problems and her parents believe that her difficulties are due to vaccines that she received. After listening to all the testimony, I tend to believe the DOJ lawyers and their experts (even though some important documents supporting certain assessments were unavailable) more than I believe the petitioners' lawyers and their experts. Compensation for a vaccine injury is therefore denied."
Special Master Hastings could have added but did not: "And by the way, if by any chance, the same thing happens with the next two test cases, then the parents of the remaining 5,000 + allegedly vaccine-injured children with autism will not be able to have their cases heard through this Compensation Program."
The fact that the Cedillos did not prevail does not mean at all that Michelle was not vaccine-injured and the Special Masters' conclusion, that the DOJ evidence was more convincing, stands very clearly on shaky ground.
The unsupported Bustin testimony seriously affected the decision relative to the MMR vaccination.
In all likelihood, the Cedillo case was doomed the day it was selected as the first "TEST CASE" and so were the other two "TEST CASES".
Because of this outrageous decision, over 5,000 other children were actually hurt twice: When they developed witnessed autistic regression or other long-lasting serious adverse events following vaccination and AGAIN, when they were all grouped in the Autism Omnibus Proceeding and swiftly robbed en masse and forever of their legal rights for compensation.

Thurston County taxable retail sales increased slightly in the second quarter of the year, according to the state Department of Revenue.
Although sales were still relatively flat, it was the second quarter in a row with a small increase.
Before that, taxable retail sales fell for eight straight quarters in Thurston County, the data show.
Statewide taxable retail sales fell 1 percent to $24.9 billion in the second quarter from the previous year, the data show. Chief Economist Arun Raha said Thursday that April revenue collections were stronger than in March, but that economic activity weakened in May and June. He said the statewide economy is in recovery, although it doesn't feel like it because growth is so slow. Consumers are holding back, home sales are slow and businesses are sitting on cash, Raha said.
"It's hard for me to see what is going to fire the recovery," he said. "If we can get through a few more months with modest increases, confidence will return."
In Thurston County, overall taxable retail sales largely were unchanged, rising 0.17 percent to $926.3 million in the second quarter of this year from $924.7 million the second quarter of 2009. For the counties largest cities, the data show:
Olympia: Rose 3.25 percent to $425 million from $411.6 million.
Lacey: Fell 3.34 percent to $223.5 million from $231.3 million.
Tuwmater: Fell 4.43 percent to $98.3 million from $102.8 million.
Yelm: Rose 5.07 percent to $37.8 million from $35.9 million.
The state Department of Revenue also releases a separate category of retail sales called retail trade, considered a better reflection of consumer purchases. The data show:
Thurston County: Rose 1.71 percent to $462.7 million from $454.9 million.
Olympia: Rose 3.06 percent to $209.1 million from $202.9 million.
Lacey: Rose 0.28 to $137.2 million from $136.8 million.
Tumwater: Fell 2.33 percent to $47.9 million from $49 million.
Yelm: Rose 2.82 percent to $22.6 million from $22 million.
Some Thurston County cities weathered the recession better than others in the second quarter. In Olympia, retail sales got a boost from the sales of new and used autos, as well as the construction industry, which rose 34 percent to $70.6 million from $52.7 million in the second quarter. Sales of new and used autos rose 16.6 percent to $57.6 million from $49.4 million in the same period, the data show.
Lacey, on the other hand, felt the pinch of a slower construction industry, which fell 33.9 percent to $19.8 million in the second quarter of the year from $30 million in the second quarter of 2009. General merchandise sales in Tumwater, one of the city's largest retail sales categories, largely were unchanged at $23.6 million, the data show.

What was he treated with? Has he seen a dr? That's alot of weight loss.
yes he was in visit to medicine especialist but there is no satisfectory resposnse, he received so now he is too much depressed by health especialist but still taking NSAIDS as pain killer randomly in low dose at some time.At that time he was treated with CARA ( Leflunomide) when this was happened.but now a days this has been discontinued.so give your expert positive suggestions...
There are a few meds that stimulate appetite. Possibly an antidepressant would help. Megace (megasterol acetate) is one. Another is marinol, an artificial cannibis. Of course marijuana does. I would give him anything he wanted to eat, often sweets are easier to get someone to eat. There are drinks with extra calories and vits in, like ensure plus. For some people a small glass of wine will stimulate appetite. I'm wondering if he needs something for ulcer like prevacid (lansoprazole). Since he is taking NSAIDS for the arthritis. It might be worth trying.

Actor Josh Hutcherson and director Ron Howard have teamed up to make a short film based on the life of one lucky competition winner.
Entrants for the contest, titled Project Imagination: The Trailer, are required to make and submit a film promo based on their own life and the winner, decided by Hutcherson and Howard, will have their clip transformed into a short movie starring the Hunger Games actor.
He says, "The creative process truly excites me, as does officially joining the cast of Canon's Project Imagination: The Trailer... I'm really looking forward to starring in a film inspired by user-generated trailer submissions."
Howard adds, "Josh Hutcherson is going to be a great addition, empowering a whole new generation to pick up a camera and realize they are far more creative than they give themselves credit for in their everyday life moments."
Howard created Project Imagination with bosses at camera brand Canon U.S.A. in 2011, but previous competitions were based on photograph submissions rather than videos.

DC Reveals First Look at Morrison and Burnham's "Batman, Incorporated"
DC Comics has revealed new interior images for Grant Morrison's "Batman, Incorporated" by series artist Chris Burnham. Burnham's uncolored images feature Batman and Robin in a violent battle with masked assailants. Via The Source, series editor Mike Marts teased Morrison and Burnham's upcoming addition to the New 52.
"Grant Morrison's new 'Batman, Incorporated' series is the final, unbelievable act of a saga six years in the making," Marts told The Source. "Along with his artistic partner-in-crime Chris Burnham, Grant delivers twists, turns, punches and reveals no reader will see coming. Things pick up directly after the shocking cliffhanger of last year's 'Leviathan Strikes' one-shot-and only get crazier from there!"
"Batman, Incorporated" is one of six new titles comprising DC's "Second Wave" of the New 52. Earlier this month, the publisher announced the "Second Wave" titles would replace "Men of War," "Mister Terrific," "O.M.A.C.," "Hawk and Dove," "Blackhawks" and "Static Shock" in May. Among the second wave titles are Morrison's "Batman, Incorporated," "Earth 2" and "Dial H." Morrison and Burnham previously collaborated on "Batman Incorporated: Leviathan Strikes" in 2011, which serves as a lead-in to the new ongoing series in May.
Stay tuned to CBR for more news on "Batman, Incorporated" and DC's "Second Wave.

After a very successful workshop at The Battery in July last year, where we were all spoiled rotten by Marilyn and Johnny, Marie has decided to hold another very special workshop holiday at The Battery in Whitstable, Kent. Marie first went to The Battery at Seasalter when she was head designer at Rowan and has art directed three or four photography shoots there. The Battery is a private home and is often used as a photography location house, you may have seen the interior being used in Country Living, Coast and Country Homes and Interiors magazines, as well as in the Rowan publications! Marie also used The Battery as her location for her book, Winter Crochet. Therefore this is an 'one off' opportunity to spend time in this exclusive historic building which sits on Whitstable beach and faces 120ft of secluded sea-front. The Battery will become our home from home for a few days and is not open to the general public at any time. This is a very extraordinary place and as soon as you step foot in this amazing house, you immediately relax and the wonderful host, Marilyn makes you very welcome with a steaming mug of tea and homemade cake. Marilyn is a great collector of many interesting and unusual things, especially from the 1940's and 1950's, and she displays her precious collections throughout the house, she is also an amazing cook! This beautiful home, flooded with natural day light, situated right on the beach is the perfect place to unwind, knit and relax…splendid!

THE BATTERY is a historic building of Kent and was built in 1873 by the Navy as a part of the coastal defence for the UK. The building consisted at the time of two buildings made of wood, one building being the Drillhall with office, clothes store and the armoury and the second building being the battery with three gun ports facing seaward and another facing west. There was a magazine on the east side but this no longer remains. There also would have been a Parade Ground at the rear of the building. The Admiralty handed over the battery in the early 1900's to the Royal Naval Reserve (later the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve) and it used as a convalescent home for wounded soldiers during WW1. Later in the 1940's the battery was used for many years as a holiday retreat for disadvantaged children. Marilyn then bought and restored this wonderful building.

Honeymoon Holidays - Kerala.
Kerala is considered as one of the top Honeymoon destination in the travelers map and thousands of people used to come over here for their vacation from all over the world. Newly married Sri Lanka couples too select Kerala boat houses as their honeymoon destination along with Maldives and Singapore. Couples used to stay there for nearly 5 - 10 days enjoying the privacy of the boat houses that are perfect place to spend their holidays that is not much expensive when compared to a honeymoon vacation in Venice, Italy. The other things that attract Sri Lanka people over here is the climate and the Kerala food that are similar to Srilanka dishes. In Kerala too they use rice, flour, coconut and chili as the main ingredients to make delicious dishes as in Sri Lanka.
Freshly available sea food is another special over here where fishermen used to bring fresh catches over to the river boats where tourists are spending their vacation. Mean while you can order your favorite sea food to be supplied from the market and cooked it through the boat house people. Most of the boat houses are similar to a star class hotel with all the latest facilities like good rooms with attached toilet facility, electricity, TV, phone, internet and many other facilities that a modern day traveler may require.
If you are going to take your holidays over there, first book a good boat through the internet and a hotel for you to stay till you reach the boat house and then to stay after your boat house vacation. Check the Indian Government website whether you will be required to obtain Indian tourist visas. Also book your round trip air tickets, take enough foreign currency and your credit card with you and start the journey through the airline. Have a wonderful honeymoon holiday in Kerala, India.
Don't forget to send us your experience and images, if you like to publish them here for other people to read about the trip.

We are in the process of implementing classic scenario for SRM. Approved shopping carts are converted to purchase orders and purchase requisitions in the backend ECC system. We have several business cases where the user has to create a shopping cart with multiple goods and service items with different delivery dates for the same vendor. These shopping carts after approval are usually required to be converted to a single purchase order to the vendor. However we noticed that these shopping cart items split into multiple purchase orders based on the delivery date.
The SAP program in SRM which triggers the generation of purchase orders split the shopping cart items into multiple purchase orders just because they have different delivery date (even though the items have the same Vendor, Purchasing Org, Company code, etc…)
Any idea how this split can be avoided?

Chlamydia is the most commonly reported sexually transmitted infection (STI). It is caused by a bacteria, and if untreated, chlamydia can cause infertility in both men and women.
Chlamydia in the rectum can cause pain, discharge and bleeding. Or there may not be any symptoms. These symptoms may come and go. But remember: "symptom-free" doesn't mean "infection-free".
It can be hard to tell if you have chlamydia. More than 70% of women and 50% of men with the infection don't show signs or symptoms. Even if everything seems normal, you may have the infection.
Here are some common signs and symptoms of a chlamydia infection:
Chlamydia in the rectum can cause pain, discharge and bleeding. Or there may not be any symptoms.
If you let it go untreated, chlamydia can cause infertility in both men and women.
In women, chlamydia can seriously infect the womb and fallopian tubes. This is called pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). PID can cause long-term pelvic pain and affect a woman's ability to get pregnant. Sometimes, it can lead to miscarriages or an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy, which can be very dangerous.
Without treatment, chlamydia can also be passed onto a baby during childbirth, causing pneumonia or eye infections.
In men, untreated chlamydia can lead to swelling and pain in the testicles. This condition is called epididymitis. It can also cause sterility if scar tissue blocks the tubes that carry the sperm.
Remember to always practice safer sex and use condoms. This will lower the risk of getting chlamydia or other STIs.
If you find out that you have chlamydia, your partner(s) need to be told that they could have an infection - even if there aren't any symptoms. If you have concerns about telling your partner(s), contact a public health nurse.
If you suspect you have chlamydia, visit your health care provider or sexual health clinic to get tested immediately. If you test positive, there are a number of treatments available to you.
Normally, a urine sample is required.
For women, chlamydia tests also involve taking a fluid sample from the cervix (the opening to the womb). Many women mistakenly assume STI tests are also performed during the regular Pap exam. Be sure to ask your health care provider to test you for STIs, and don't forget to tell your partner(s) to ask a health care provider about STI testing as well.
For men, the health care provider or public health nurse may also take a sample of discharge from the urethra. It's also common to test the throat or rectum for infection.
Whether you're young or old, straight or LGBTQ, routine testing is good way to take care of your sexual health. For confidential support, testing or counselling, visit a health care provider or sexual health clinic in your community. Testing is easy and free of charge.
Chlamydia is treated with antibiotic pills. Even if your symptoms seem to have disappeared, it's very important to take all your medication as directed by the health care provider or sexual health clinic. You can return to having sex only after you've completed your treatment and the health care provider or sexual health clinic says it's okay.
Often, your health care provider or sexual health clinic will schedule a follow-up test. These tests are just to make sure your infection has been treated effectively. These tests are usually done 4 weeks after you've finished your pills.
If you decide to talk to your partner(s) yourself, learn how to talk comfortably about it.
