Friday, November 30, 2007
I had a blast with TJ and his crew from Craggy Range. He is quite the host, although, he did sneak out early in the night. Thinking back, I should have left shortly after him instead of continuing to drink red wine. Craggy Range is a beautiful, asthetically plesant winery. I got the VIP treatment and felt welcomed be everyone that I met there. We went to Diva for drinks and appetizers and then I was walked back to my backpackers, by Sam, one of the wine makers. The backpackers, itself, was not clean, but it was the only one in Havelock North and the manager let me borrow his bike with a styrofoam helmet since it is mandatory to wear helmets in New Zealand and he drove me out to Craggy Range. All in all, he probably saved me $50 which is huge in the traveling world. So, even though it was a dirty little establishment, I overlooked it since the man was nice and the showers were awesome. The bike had definitely seen better days, but it got me to where I needed to be.
I tried to watch some of the Cowboys/Packers game, but there were only 3 possibly establishments that I could view it from. The first one, had the most options, but the bartender wouldn't put it on if I was the only one watching it. I told her that she had been incredibly helpful and took off. THe next tv was taken by golf and the 3 rd place, couldn't get it, but was determined to give me updates via the internet. I decided to have a glass of wine since he went to so much trouble for me.
I hope that all is well and since I love the internet here, I might be more user friendly...I will end this with, one of my companions on the bus today was driving me crazy. I was reading and listening to my ipod--yes, it works again and I love it--and trying to not listen to this chick on her phone, spitting into it, singing and just being annoying in general. I look over, finally, and realize that she looks like the barracuda from Denver. I thought it was her and almost had fell out of my seat. Then, everything made sense--why I was so annoyed by her and why she was unable to just sit still.
Until later...

Harmony, you are so brave to try all these new and exciting adventures! I can't believe how many people you meet and all the things you do! You have done more in the past month than most people do in a lifetime. Amazing!
The girls had basketball games this morning, Kellen's team is undefeated and Hannah's team won their first game!! Hannah even made a basket! (Which is huge for her, she usually tries to avoid the ball.) We are now sitting at home watching the first SNOWSTORM of the season, Yuck!
I have two holiday parties this week, and we are having a wine exchange, any recommendations? I don't want to bring my favorite white zin.:), thought I'd branch out a bit!
Enjoy and stay safe,Love, Connie
Hi Harmony, Happy Holidays! Is there a time difference there? What is the weather like today? Have you tried any new kinds of food? Have a great time, Good bye, Love, Hannah :)
Hi Harmony, Flat Kellen loves vanilla ice cream, that way you can pile on the toppings! What is your favorite kind of ice cream?
I shared the post cards from you and Flat Kellen with my class, everybody liked them. Thanks. Bye. Sincerely, Kellen :)

Hello, girls...the weather here is awesome. It is summer on the southern hemisphere so i get to wear shorts year round--i love it. I used to play basketball when I was in grade school, but this was when they still had a mixed team. The following year, when I was in 4th grade, they decided to go only all girls league or all boys league but my coach from the previous year liked my work ethic and so I was the only girl on the boys team. It was fun and flattering to be the only girl. Keep me updated on how you both do.
I am so happy that the weather is hot here. I am loving life!
Regarding the wine--you might try either a Rose or a reisling, which is can be either sweet or moderately sweet and dry. There are some fantastic reislings from New Zealand in the Marlborough district. If you come across Gibson Bridge or Waihru River (i think) give it a try. The best way to learn is to experience and decide what you like and don't like. I think that reisling is the best way to move up from white zin. My sister, Jade, likes reislings too. Good luck and let me know how it works. Rose is semi sweet and a nice appetizer wine. It becoming popular in New Zealand and when I was in Napa last year, quite a few places had it. Or, you could always bring champagne and see how that works.

Do you think you have unusual urination habits? Maybe you pee twice as often as your co-workers, or you won't go for hours even after drinking like a porpoise.
Everyone is different, and you've likely encountered people at both extreme ends of the spectrum (maybe it's you, who knows). You have to wonder – what is the normal number of times to pee per day?
Neil Grafstein, MD, who's an assistant professor of urology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, answers that important question, along with a few other pee puzzles.
How often should we be peeing?
This is what you're here for, right? According to Dr. Grafstein, the average number is between 4-7 a day – a pretty wide range. It sounds like a half-assed answer, but the reality is there is no magic number.
Urination frequency isn't only dependent on how hydrated you are. Other factors, like what you're drinking or the sensitivity of your bladder, plays a role, too.
"Caffeine and alcohol are bladder irritants, so they cause you to urinate more frequently," says Dr. Grafstein.
Is it possible to train your bladder?
Some people can hold their pee, even if they feel that push to go to the bathroom. Others heed the call of nature at the slightest urge. Dr. Grafstein says you can train your bladder to hold out for longer, assuming you don't have any underlying incontinence issues.
Training your bladder is simple, done in one easy step: hold it! This retrains your bladder, so you will only have to go when the urge gets real strong.
"A little sensitivity does not have to be responded to all the time."
Some professions require you to build up that resistance naturally, like a surgeon or teacher.
What if midnight bathroom trips are ruining your sleep?
If you need to wee in the wee hours of the night, and it's a recurring issue, Dr. Grafstein suggests logging a fluid diary (it's not as gross as it sounds).
Document how much, what, and when you drink. If you find you're drinking a lot more fluids in the latter part of the day, try switching that up. Cutting back on booze near bedtime helps, too.
Make sure it really is your bladder keeping you up at night, and not another ailment like anxiety or sleep apnea!
Can the color of your pee really tell you if you're well hydrated?
Similar to how often you pee, the colour of your urine is dependent on more than your level of hydration.
The foods you eat can have an effect (right, beet lovers?), and what you've had to drink as well.
But in general, the colour of your pee is usually a good indicator of your hydration.
Dr. Grafstein says the goal should be, "If the toilet bowl turns a see-through yellow color, you're golden."

Joint tenancy is a great tool for estate planning but it does not work in every situation. It is typically used for couples or business partners. As a Tampa Bay Estate Attorney, I'm sometimes asked the question "Will joint tenancy be a good way to pass assets to our child?" Normally the answer is "no" as this can cause a number of problems.
Problem 1: It gives your child joint ownership. Having your child seamlessly take over ownership of your home may seem like a good idea, but it can cause a number of issues. It is important to remember that once you add your child's name to the deed, they are part owner of the property. So, if you decide to sell your house but your child does not agree, you may not be able to make a move. As the joint owner, your adult child has to sign off on any decisions you make about your assets.
Problem 2: It can cause the bank to freeze your bank account after your pass away. The bank may freeze your account for a couple of reasons if you pass away and have a joint tenancy. For example, if you have debt when you pass away, the bank may freeze the account so that your child can not liquidate your assets in an attempt to avoid the debt. They may also freeze the account if the courts believe that your child was put on the account just for convenience and they don't actually contribute to the account. If the bank freezes your account for either of these reasons it may actually slow down the process of being able to pass on your assets to your heirs.
Problem 3: It will give your child survivorship rights. This means that all your assets will now belong to your child which might not be exactly what you intended. If you write a will and set up specific guidelines about to whom and when your assets are to be distributed (i.e. I want Johnny to split the bank account we share with his sister Betty when I die), none of that will matter because your child has survivorship rights to the funds. That means he or she has no obligation to follow your will or wishes because he or she is now the sole owner of the asset in question.
Before you add your child to your bank accounts, deed to your home, or any other asset, give us a call at 813-438-8503. That way, we can help you avoid any unintended consequences.

Hello, Readers!
Yesterday was a rough day getting into the story. I did manage a thousand words, but compared to the five thousand I was doing on the previous book, it was a hit to my production. I'm not sure if it is simply a matter of getting into the new novel, while some of the characters are the same the location is new. So, maybe that is taking more time? Or, it is possible that maybe like all the previous times of writing for me, it takes me twenty five thousand or so to get into a story enough to have higher word counts. Either way, I have to admit to being quite frustrated.
Granted I wrote and that is definitely something. So, on the other hand I'm proud to be back in the writing mode there. Leave it to this author to be confusing to herself. Haha.
I still have yet to sit down to kick out today's word count which is next on my list. I'll take three thousand words for today, if not the five. That is the goal, anyway.
I know part of my issue with my word count yesterday is I downloaded a solitaire collection app onto my phone. It's made my addiction to my phone worse, which means it has to go. While it helps to relax, I have a habit of letting things like that consume my entire day. That means unlike most people, I don't keep games on my phone. It helps me control bad habits of wasting my own time.
Do any of you have things you have to stop yourself from doing to keep from wasting your time?
It is a real problem for me and distracts my mind. So, instead of falling into a period of time when I have nothing to do, and can allow my mind to wander. I instantly pull up the game on my phone and shuts off any sort of imagination that comes with a wandering mine. Such a counter productive thing for creatives.
Wandering minds and imagination are such an important part of my process.
If the rough writing day wasn't enough yesterday, the family sat down to watch some Halloween shows after the grand-babies were put to bed. It got quiet in the room, which is never a good sign. When their mother went to check on them the next time around all I heard was her yelling at her oldest.
Me, being grandma went to go check to see if everything was okay. The oldest had white stuff in his hair, and dots on his face. My daughter was crouched on the ground with wipes and her youngest son's blanket. I'll admit, at this point I still had no clue the severity of the situation or what exactly was going on.
She explained that he'd gotten into diaper rash ointment somehow, which she had no idea where it was even from, but was in a fit of tears trying to clean it up.
I called to her son and told him to come with me and we will just stick him in the tub. A quick bath should solve the trick, right? No harm, no foul.
Then she brings me the youngest at the same time. It made so much more sense on why she was in tears at that point. He was covered in the slimy goo, head to toe.
I busted up laughing. Granted, I made sure they were okay and I got them clean. No diaper rashes covering a body in this house. Nope, the three-year-old solved that problem. Needless to say, I spent a good portion of the night scrubbing them up to get it off, while their mother cleaned the bedroom and reassembled her composure. Poor girl.
Just as an FYI for those that have children that coat themselves like that…baby powder absorbs that greasy substance and then you can wash the paste off from there, leaving them clean. It also helps so they aren't so slick to pick up and put in the tub.
Hopefully today will be a less…adventurous day on the children front. Until next time, L.O.L. (Live it, Own it, Love it) or it isn't worth doing.

Lessons of obedience. How children are raised in different countries.
Every nation has its own morals, mentality and ideas about the upbringing of children. Something may seem strange and unacceptable to us, and we can take note of some principles and views. What if we need it?
In the Land of the Rising Sun, children's upbringing is taken very seriously. Age limits are clearly separated, and each of them implies a certain attitude towards children.
Up to 5 years old babies are treated as kings, allowing them to play and prank freely. Even in kindergartens there are special rooms where boys and girls can paint the walls with felt-tip pens! At the same time, children in Japan are not inclined to be naughty, to demand entertainment, to get new toys and dolls. Local kids have very few toys and clothes in general – they are taught to be content with what they have. So the young tomboys gladly carry the clothes and finish playing with toys of older brothers and sisters. In addition, parents develop children's imagination, not taking toys for a joint walk, and teaching the kids to play with what surrounds them (with the gifts of nature) in the park is such a rift for the imagination!
From 5 to 15 years old, little Japanese are taught discipline and maximum obedience. Methods are sometimes the most stringent. But since this approach is a part of society's life, a part of the system, it is perceived by children as normal. By the way, in Japan there is a lesson in contemplation – when the whole class goes somewhere outside the school and children learn to see nature, feel and hear what is happening around them. Isn't it great?
After 15 years of age, children are treated as equal members of society. Interestingly, Japan has the lowest crime rate and one of the highest living standards in the world. I am sure that education also plays a significant role in this.
We used to talk about American citizens as a consumer society. And there is some truth in that. After all, local mothers want to give their children absolutely everything they want, no matter how much it costs! Many children already know all the leading brands and brands in the field of children's goods and toys at the age of 4-5. Daily willingness is not left without the attention of parents, who are in a hurry to meet the wishes of the kids. Sometimes it comes to the fact that the garages in the homes of Americans are full of toys that were purchased to satisfy the child's need just for this thing every second.
On the other hand, Americans like no other try to convince their children that they are the best, the most beautiful, the most wondrous, the most dignified, the most-most. Raising an independent person is their goal. When a child makes a mistake, he or she will express support: "You will succeed! Try again! You are the winner! "
In Sweden, children are treated as a full-fledged person who has rights and responsibilities. The most important thing that parents have to provide for their children is their safety. This is why Swedish people sleep together and see nothing wrong with it. "Have you ever seen an adult Swedish man sleeping with his parents? – They reasonably ask when someone does not share their views. The Swedish believe that if parents do not have time for love and care during the day, it can only be made up for at night when they sleep together, which helps the child to gain confidence and even promotes independence! In their opinion, the child is a natural being and needs a safe environment for full development.
The Swedish, like all Europeans in general, are also famous for their tolerance and tolerance for "not like you". There are no strict distinctions in society between healthy and disabled people, between people with traditional and non-traditional orientation. In general, any categorical attitude in views is not cultivated, but cultivates loyalty and good attitude to a person.
Indian wisdom says, "Use your heart to communicate with others. This is what they teach their children – through the heart and the world of emotion to perceive the world around them. This attitude concerns not only the surrounding people, but also nature: not to offend anyone, to be kind to everyone, not to harm animals, birds and plants.
Indians are wise parents (although many of them become mothers and fathers at a very early age), never shout at children, thus teaching them to restrain their emotions. They are patient and indulgent to children's pranks, understanding that they will have a life full of trials ahead of them.
At school, boys and girls are taught not to cram, but to think and discuss. By the way, they discuss topics that are not childish at all: "Attitudes to death", "The need for discipline" and so on. In addition to the standard lessons, Indian schools have memory training and smile lessons. Twice a year, the whole school praises those students who have improved their results compared to last month.
In every country, there are many different ways in which children are treated. The most important thing among this diversity is sincere love.

Mobile produce truck brings fresh produce to York City
York Fresh Food Farms is planting broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and more at their second location off Roosevelt Ave. in York. The vegetables will go to local restaurants, pop-up markets and some of it will be donated. Sean Heisey, York Daily Record
A new mobile produce market from York Fresh Food Farms is bringing fresh fruit and vegetables to York City.
York Fresh Food Farms Treasurer Metta Barbour said the mobile market is an old rabbittransit vehicle. The bright green air-conditioned "truck" is for transporting the vegetables and advertising, Barbour explained.

Right now, the farm is selling collard greens, kale, zucchini, herbs and more. Barbour said in the next few weeks, people can expect vegetables such as squash, cucumbers, peppers and cabbage.
York Fresh Food Farms also got a grant that will allow them to outfit the truck with converted chest freezers that will operate as refrigerators, keeping the produce cool.
It's all in the name of opening up access to fresh produce in the city. Barbour said that they want to increase vegetable consumption in the city, and make it easier for people with transportation issues to get fresh food.
More: A passion for food, family and life made Bel Paese a York County institution
"We think we'll have a lot of interest," Barbour said.
Right now, the prices range from 50 cents for zucchini to $2 for green romaine lettuce. Barbour said the prices are intentionally set at or below Walmart's pricing. She hopes to develop a greater balance between selling food and donating food, both of which York Fresh Food Farms does now.
She also hopes to hone the locations where they sell the produce. Right now, the truck goes to places such as Brynes Health Education Center, Lee's Food Market and Springdale.

Here's where you can find the truck each week:
Monday — Brynes Health Education Center from 4-6 p.m.

How Do We Know Vaccines are Safe?
Aug 15, 2018
Too often, we hear misinformation about vaccines and their safety. Some people claim that they are not tested for safety before being licensed and recommended for use in people in the United States. Others say that vaccines are not held to the same safety standards as drugs, when in fact they are held to a higher standard. And some others wrongly proclaim that vaccines are not monitored for safety after they are licensed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and recommended for the public by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as they are unaware of the strong vaccine surveillance systems we have in place in the U.S.
The United States has the safest, most effective vaccine supply in its history.
Below, we offer an overview of how vaccines are tested and monitored for safety and effectiveness:
Clinical trials
Vaccines are one of the most thoroughly tested medical products available in the U.S. Before a vaccine can be considered for approval by the FDA, a vaccine manufacturer must show it is safe and effective through clinical trials. Developing a new vaccine begins with exploratory stage and pre-clinical stage before advancing to three stages of clinical trials. Together, this scientific process can take over a decade and cost millions of dollars. The FDA then examines these studies and determines whether a vaccine is safe, effective, and ready to be licensed for use. The FDA only licenses vaccines that have data that shows that the vaccines' benefits outweigh the potential risks. If there is any question about the data, or any holes in the data, the FDA will request further studies before approving the vaccine.
Four monitoring systems
After a vaccine is licensed for use in the U.S., there are four systems in place that work together to help scientists monitor the safety of vaccines and identify any rare side effects that may not have been found in clinical trials. Even large clinical trials may not be big enough to find very rare side effects. For example, some side effects may only happen in 1 in 100,000 or 1 in 500,000 people. Second, vaccine trials may not include certain populations like pregnant women or people with specific medical conditions who might have different types of side effects or who might have a higher risk of side effects than the volunteers who got the vaccine during clinical trials.
Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS)
VAERS is a passive reporting system. That means it relies on individuals to report vaccine reactions. Anyone can report a reaction or injury, including healthcare providers, patients and patients' representatives, such as caregivers or attorneys. The system is co-managed by the FDA and the CDC. However, it is important to note that VAERS data alone can't be used to answer the question, "Does a certain vaccine cause a certain side effect?" This is because adverse events reported to VAERS may or may not be caused by vaccines. There are reports in VAERS of common conditions that occur just by chance after vaccination. Further investigation may find no medical link between vaccination and these conditions. Instead, the purpose of VAERS is to see if unexpected or unusual patterns emerge, which may indicate a vaccine safety issue that needs to be researched further.
The Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD)
Established in 1990, VSD is a collaboration between the CDC's Immunization Safety Office and eight health care organizations across the country. It conducts studies based on questions or concerns raised from the medical literature and reports to VAERS. In addition, when new vaccines are recommended or if changes are made in how a vaccine is recommended, VSD will monitor the safety of these vaccines.
The Clinical Immunization Safety Assessment Project (CISA)
CISA, which was created in 2001, is a national network of vaccine safety experts from the CDC's Immunization Safety Office, seven medical research centers and other partners. CISA addresses vaccine safety issues, conducts high quality clinical research and assesses complex clinical adverse events following vaccination. CISA also helps to connect clinicians with experts who can help consult on vaccine safety questions related to individual patients.
The Post-Licensure Rapid Immunization Safety Monitoring System (PRISM)
PRISM is a partnership between the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research and leading health insurance companies. It actively monitors and analyzes data from a representative subset of the general population. PRISM links data from health plans with data from state and city immunization information systems (IIS). PRISM has access to information for over 190 million people allowing it to identify and analyze rare health outcomes that would otherwise be difficult to assess.
These four post-licensure monitoring systems have been able to address several important issues related to vaccines and their safety, including:
- Finding no connection between the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine (Gardasil) and venous thromboembolism in females 9 to 26 years of age.
- Identifying a link between a rotavirus vaccine (RotaTeq®) and an increased risk of intussusception in infants, which led to its withdrawal from the market.
- Establishing the safety of thimerosal in vaccines.
- Establishing the safety of the childhood immunization schedule in the U.S.
- Demonstrating the safety of vaccines during pregnancy through fourteen separate studies.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and its agencies, health insurance companies, scientists, healthcare providers, and other public health and medical groups are all dedicated to ensuring people of all ages are protected against serious infectious diseases by a safe, effective supply of vaccines.

Thank you for going through this.
"The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and its agencies, health insurance companies, scientists, healthcare providers, and other public health and medical groups are all dedicated to ensuring people of all ages are protected against serious infectious diseases by a safe, effective supply of vaccines."
I'm sure the author is happy to explain why it is that a "Lawsuit Proves HHS Hasn't Filed Required Vaccine Safety Reports with Congress IN 30 YEARS" (https://thefreethoughtproject.com/hhs-vaccine-safety-reports-lawsuit/).
Well, have at it.
I expect the author does not know why administrative reports were not filed with Congress – it could be a failure of the department and an equivalent failure of Congress to enforce, an agreement with Congress that something else count as the reports – like reports of the IOM, lack of funding, or it could be that reports were filed but not found (Vince Ilaneli from Wikipedia found one such report: https://vaxopedia.org/2018/07/22/did-the-us-government-lose-a-landmark-vaccine-lawsuit/).
It's unlikely the author can figure out which of these is the actual option – HHS is your address. It doesn't change the evidence vaccines are safe, or the reality that many of HHS agencies and staff put a lot of effort into that, justifying the description above.
First, I'd like to thank doritmi. Good find, VAXOPEDIA article. I just downloaded and added it to my collection.
Just to add that even if the reports weren't made to Congress, as you wrote, doesn't mean the studies weren't done. One can go to CDC Vaccine Safety Publications webpage which lists publications by year and also links to their various vaccine safety surveillance systems at:
The above lists only studies directly funded by CDC. To find more studies, lots more, one can go to PubMed at:
Type in "Vaccine Safety" and you get 18,005 papers. One can also type in more specific searches, e.g., "MMR vaccine" AND autism which found 167 papers. And, of course, some of the papers will find safety problems. As I have written in papers and comments, we don't live in a perfect world. The best we can do is look at Benefits/Cost ratios. The minuscule risks of serious adverse events from vaccines pales in comparison with the risks from the actual natural diseases. In addition, since any reaction has a genetic component, at least some kids who react to a vaccine, a killed or seriously weakened version of a microbe, would have also reacted to the natural microbe. And despite what antivaccinationists choose to believe, kids get far more aluminum from breast milk and other environmental sources than vaccines and thimerosal has been removed from all vaccines except flu vaccine and one can get thimerosal-free flu vaccine, despite studies finding no link between thimerosal and adverse events and the amount of the far more toxic form of mercury, methyl mercury, we are exposed to in higher amounts from the environment. And finally, some of the studies that found adverse events were poorly designed or, even if well-designed, random chance could have affected the result. As an example, imagine one does a case-control study comparing those who experienced an adverse event following some vaccine and those who didn't. One tries to hold all other factors/variables constant that might affect the outcome; e.g., equal number of boys and girls, within narrow age range; but, for instance, what if the two groups differ in some key factor not controlled for, e.g., previous illnesses, nutrition, genetics (more Northern Europeans in one group)? This is why those trained in science don't rely on one or two papers; but look at methodology, including sampling, etc and all the related studies. Antivaccinationists jump on anything that finds a negative; but if later research shows it to be wrong, I've never seen on any antivaccinationist blog a mea culpa. I remember more than 30 years ago a paper in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine finding a link between coffee/caffeine and pancreatic cancer. It was in ALL newspapers. Well, I didn't stop drinking coffee and the paper was found to be incredibly flawed. Convert an antivaccinationist to an anticaffeinist and to this day their websites would be railing about the evils of caffeine. At least being against caffeine wouldn't put kids at risk!
And the alleged link between vaccines and autism has been refuted by over 15 papers, research conducted on different populations, in different nations, by different researchers. When antivaccinationists can't find significant flaws in the research, they resort to ad hominem attacks, to a belief in some world-wide conspiracy to further the "profits" of the pharmaceutical industry, despite vaccines representing only 2% of pharmaceutical industries world-wide revenues, and only a couple of companies a larger percentage. And, to the best of my knowledge, every provaccinationist researcher, including colleagues at CDC, have made sure their kids got all their shots. I'm sure there are a few who didn't. An old saying: "The exception proves the rule."
And, many of the topics, fears of antivaccinationists, have been reviewed by the Institute of Medicine, each study with huge references lists which can be found at:
Note that all can be downloaded as pdfs for free, simply sign up.
"I expect the author does not know why administrative reports were not filed with Congress…."
And you do? Well, do tell.
"It's unlikely the author can figure out which of these is the actual option…."
Well, do tell…again.
The failure of the HHS to report as duly authorized does, regardless of what anyone believes
about HHS, et al., speak to a lawful, vaccine-related failure. Are there other vaccine-related failures that have occurred? I'd like to know.
But you seem to be so enamored with HHS, vaccines or whatever that you're unwilling to even question the possibility that something sinister might be the case.
It's really difficult to have a reasonable and intelligent conversation (or any conversation at all, actually) with someone who isn't open to possibilities that are opposed to their deeply held position, erroneous or not,
No, I don't know why the reports weren't either filed and/or misplaced. However, with an undergraduate dual major, Political Science and Psychology, from over 50 years ago, I know from courses then and later readings that it isn't just vaccine safety reports that are not filed or misplaced. You are typical of antivaccinationists, single out something related to vaccines as if they are treated differently. Well, actually they are treated differently, the requirements for FDA approval and post-marketing surveillance and mechanisms make vaccines either the safest product on the market or among a select few. What sinister could be the case when I gave you links to websites where umpteen studies of vaccine safety appear? All they had to do is summarize the studies, the funding, and submit it. Why they didn't or they were misplaced, no idea, except for bureacracies don't alway reflect best on the work being carried out by an organization; but proof is in the pudding and the studies have been carried out and reported. Have you ever heard the phase: "Hiding in plain sight?"
As for "It's really difficult to have a reasonable and intelligent conversation (or any conversation at all, actually) with someone who isn't open to possibilities that are opposed to their deeply held position, erroneous or not."
It is you who are closed minded, ignoring the fact that the required studies were done and easily accessed. I am open to all reasonable possibilities. I have NEVER worked for the CDC, FDA, NIH, nor any pharmaceutical company, nor do I own stocks in them. However, I have spent 50 years reading about the history of infectious diseases, studied epidemiology, immunology and microbiology, monitor websites for CDC, WHO, Canada, France, Sweden, so, up-to-date on diseases still raging around the world, but a plane flight away, and quite simply get tired of antivaccinationists jumping to conclusions, always negative ones. I am keenly aware of adverse events with vaccines and choose not to reject vaccines because I am also aware of the much greater harm that would come from a world without vaccines. In fact, without the smallpox vaccine, we wouldn't have to worry about global population, good chance neither of us would exist as smallpox alone killed an average of 30% of population. I look at benefit/risk ratios and vaccines win hands down.
Please explain whatever sinister meaning you attribute to the reports not being available; but make sure you include that the actual studies are easily accessed.
PD: "The failure of the HHS to report as duly authorized does, regardless of what anyone believes about HHS, et al., speak to a lawful, vaccine-related failure. Are there other vaccine-related failures that have occurred? I'd like to know."
Well, did you know that the HHS a government department of the United States of America and no other countries? Here is something you need to know: vaccines are studied and used in other nations. What is really cool is that their studies also show very similar safety data for vaccines.
Instead of hinting at nefarious intentions (or conspiracies), what you need to do is provide the PubMed indexed studies by reputable qualified researchers that any vaccine on the present American pediatric schedule causes more harm than the disease. Folks like you seem to forget there is a very real reason why the vaccines were developed in the first place. The diseases can cause very real harm and suffering, I know that from personal experience.
If you are still thinking vaccines cause autism, well I have some news for you: the causes of over half of the cases of autism have been discovered! Also there is a hunt to find more genetic sequences to fill in the gap: https://sparkforautism.org/discover/

Have an old Pentium with W2000 and Mozilla Firefox, sometimes i/e6, which connects to my TalkTalk router with wifi on loading but then I change to a direct connection.
Am based in West London.
Out of the blue, about a week ago an unexpected webpage appeared from BT Openzone advising 'Welcome to this BTFON Hotspot' and inviting signing on for a fee.
I did not proceed and deleted the page.
I am not a BT Customer.
This occurance has now increased to such frequency I am unable to use the internet.
I attempt connecting to a page, home (Google) or otherwise and the response is the BT one.
Sometimes connecting works without a problem.
Sometimes, for a few screens then bt again.
Another time BT just about constantly - this is happening most of the time now.
Once BT has appeared it is not possible to clear.
This can occur in every window, but sometimes one will work.
I tend to power down and try later.
Have tried another router, ceasing using the wifi, deleting (many times) all cookies and files etc., using either ie or ff. all to no avail.
Googling 'hijack by openzone' or 'remove openzone' reveals many are suffering same, although with later o/s's.
ofcom - useless, waste of time
bt - advised to contact my isp
TalkTalk - are trying to help
I think something has been downloaded onto my pc, without my knowledge, and by BT, that is causing this, but what?
Have Norton Internet Security 2006.
Any ideas Guys? Thanks - Mike
I'd guess that what's happened is that BTOpenzone have one of their hotspots very close to you and it's drowning out your own wireless network. I'm not too sure what you mean by 'connecting by wifi and then using a direct connection' - can you disable the wifi and just use the direct connection immediately? Check in your list of wireless networks associated with your adapter that BT openzone isn't listed there - if it is then remove it as it may simply be at the top of your list and so is the preferred network.
"I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us..." Pink Floyd
Hi John - thanks for replying. I had similar thoughts to yours.
Both router and pc are on my desk, within a yard of each other.
At start up, the wireless program loads and connects to the router using a usb blue tooth dongle.
This proximity is not good for wifi, thus as an alternative I have a direct lan connection, which comes into play, when I exit the wifi program.
I changed start up such that wifi does not load, and now only use the direct connection.
The wifi program lists nearby networks, with mine at the top at 100%.
Others are 54% or less.
From memory, out of about the five networks found, 3 were openzone, including BTFON which is named differently.
BTFON is the one I am being connected to, strangly it is lower on the list than one or more of the other openzone ones.
Having older technology, the wireless program does not have the facility to delete or bar 'found' networks, or move them around to change their order.
It does allow selecting one and then connecting to it. However, this now fails by repeatedly trying and then disconnecting (which did not happen previously to this problem), and remains connected to BTFON.
Despite now using a direct connection only, the problem remains. Which leads me to suspect BT are playing tricks.
Some of the google hits suggested this, but when a cure was proposed, used facilities provided by much later o/s's, and none were found for w2000.
It is 0952 and have recently switched on, having switched off late yesterday evening locked into BTFON. So far the problem has not appeared. Unless TalkTalk have found something and corrected, would think it will later.
Thanks - Mike
TalkTalk my isp, cured the problem.
The fact I had ceased any wireless activlity and was now using only a direct connection was the deciding factor.
The TT technician was certain the fault was outside of my premises and promised they would investigate. By the next day it had been cured and since has not re-appeared.
I am of the opinion it is one of BT's dirty tricks, as at least one colleague using an iphone, regularly receives this page without warning. Googling also shows many others experience this.
I have not reconnected the wifi as my old pc performs better when using a direct connection.
Good Luck - Keep us posted.

Remember this incredible photo that I shared at Halloween? I recently received a message from photographer Fiona Fletcher, detailing the most wonderful backstory to the photo shoot : "This was a series of images Woodland Fairies that I had wanted to shoot for a long time. I wanted to use vintage 80's dresses I owned, so I chose the masks to correspond to each of the dresses. I then cast the models to also complement the character of each outfit…
…With all this in place my friend and props stylist Hannah Read-Baldrey created the most beautiful wings and set the scene with wonderful styling in the forest for me!" Isn't that just the coolest? I love knowing that the idea for these incredible images began with something as simple as a collection of vintage dresses from the 1980's—and it's such a breathtaking testament to the power of creative collaboration between two gifted artists. Fiona's note lead me to the rest of her stunning portfolio; not only is she a fabulous photographer (see below!) but she's also a world-renowned stylist who has worked with such talents as Dame Helen Mirren and Sir Ian McKellen.
And then of course there's set designer and props stylist Hannah Read-Baldrey, whose work I have admired for so long (below). I'm thrilled to announce that Hannah just contacted me with the news that she has started her own blog! Hannah trained in theatre design and now works mainly in the fashion and lifestyle industries–be sure to check out her amazing shoot with Victoria Beckham! Her blog is a portfolio of recent projects, and I can't wait to see more beautiful work as she continues to share with us in the future.
It's a funny thing: as a blogger it's so easy to get lost in the images that we surround ourselves with everyday, and to forget about the people behind those images. So thank you to Fiona and Hannah for reaching out and sharing the story behind your work!

16 Tips to Boost Toddler's Weak Appetite, Hunger Home Remedies
Created by Chayanika Sen Updated on Apr 30, 2018
Looking for How Can I Increase My Child's Appetite? Loss of appetite or absence of adequate appetite in growing children is quite a common concern amongst mothers. A lot of toddlers are underweight and fail to gain weight as per recommended standards because of insufficient diet. Illness, teething, zinc deficiency, digestion problems, improper spacing between meals may lead to reduced appetite in growing children. So how do you counter this problem and ensure that your toddler is not only eating but eating healthy.
Ways To Boost Your Toddler's Appetite(Hunger)
A few tips that may help in boosting your toddler's appetite are as follows-
Scheduled Meal timings:A pre-fixed schedule with defined meal timings should be encouraged. Disciplined food intake pattern sets hunger cue alarms in your growing child's body thereby maintaining his or her appetite and enabling them to eat well.
Make Breakfast Mandatory:A healthy and filling breakfast is a sure shot tool to enhance appetite. It should be a mandatory meal for every toddler. A balanced and nutritious breakfast not only boosts metabolism but also gets a body working for the day ahead.
Intake of water well before meal timings:A child should be offered water around half an hour before meals and should not be allowed to drink water with food. This enables the child to eat more.
Interesting meal times:You as a mother should try and plan some activity for meal time, so that your toddler looks forward to his or her meal. It could be a story telling session or a fun game which they enjoy as they eat. Toddlers tend to eat well when distracted by some activity of their choice. Avoid putting any videos of nursery rhymes instead go for the audio options.
Healthy mid-meals:You may offer your toddler small platter of fruits or one fruit at regular interval. Frequent small meals build metabolism and in turn increase appetite. Offering healthy varieties of food in a manner that the child eats them without hassles poses to be a challenge for the mother. For example- Fruits, fish cakes, and sandwiches.
Set good examples:Children love to observe and replicate their parents. It thus becomes important to improve one's own meal type and timings so as to lead by example. They would like to eat right quantities happily and try new varieties if they observe their parents do so.
Small meal servings:Parents should ensure children are not served too much in their plates. Children may start associating stress with food if they are pressurised to eat too much at a time
Ensure daily intake of peanuts:Peanuts are referred to as "King of all nuts" because of their protein building and appetite boosting properties. Ensure peanuts are offered to them on a daily basis
Nuts and dry fruits may help:Nuts like almonds, pista, cashews and walnuts and dry fruits like figs and dates are appetite boosting specialists. A serving as an evening snack may benefit the toddler big time
Their participation in deciding what to eat:Like every adult, growing toddlers also have likes and dislikes of their own. There are certain healthy foods which they like to eat. Try to couple up something new with their favourite dish so that taste new things more readily. Also an attempt should be made to give them choices for every meal and serve them foods which they enjoy. They would look forward to their meals this way and have an increased appetite
Importance of yogurt:Yogurt is a must for growing children. It is a rich source of calcium and pro-biotics. It works wonders in building immunity and boosting appetite
Discourage oily and heavy food:It is best to offer light food to children. Contrary to traditional Indian views, use of too much ghee in food may actually lead to loss of appetite in babies. Healthy food should be prepared with minimum use of ghee.
Offering fresh lime juice:Fresh lime juice is an effective detoxing agent and is said to enhance appetite and improve digestion. It is best to offer a glass of sweetened lime juice if a child fusses over food
Check on intake of zinc:Zinc is essential in building appetite. Include zinc supplements or foods like cashew nuts and pumpkin seeds in their food regime
Fruit-desserts can be yum:Desserts which are fruit based are very beneficial in increasing appetite and boosting metabolism. Pomegranate and papaya are the best known appetite stimulant foods
Milk not a substitute for food:As a toddler grows, the need for healthy food increases and milk alone cannot take care of the growing needs. Milk as a dairy product is essential but it is not a substitute for any of the meals. Milk fills up the toddler's tummy and reduces appetite for food
Hunger Home Remedies For Child's Increasing Appetite
Here are some natural appetite booster remedies for your children...
- Ginger juice mixed with honey is also very useful. Ginger is one of the best appetite enhancing foods
- Mint coriander chutney may also be served as an accompaniment with any snack. It not only enhances taste, but its inherent properties also increase appetite
- Dalchini or cinnamon may also be added to purees or porridge being served, its inherent qualities may also work wonders for the child
- Hing and ajwain are also an important components used in Indian food. Adding these not only increases appetite but also relieves their gas or stomach related issues. A happy tummy permits one to eat well
It is all about having a happy baby with a happy tummy. Once the child is free of problems and starts enjoying his meals, the journey of appetite increase becomes fulfilling for the mother.

As Apple continues to ramp up computing via iPad, you might be surprised that the rest of the tablet-making industry is holding up well.
Digitimes Research recorded about 46 million shipments in the fourth quarter with name brands taking 70 percent, mostly thanks to Apple initiating discounts on its iPad models. Amazon, which had done some heavy promotion for its Fire tablets in the third quarter, receded during the holidays. ODM tablets were able to increase shipments by 3 percent sequentially with higher overseas demand.
On an annual basis, though, the so-called white box tablets are still down 8.7 percent. Furthermore, it's expected that a lack of new models will drive overall demand down. Digitimes forecasts only 32 million shipments for the current quarter — down 17 percent — reaching a new historical low.
As Apple and Amazon turn to marketing their smart speakers, what will happen to the tablets that used to provide all the kitchen table entertainment and information? That's yet to be known.

Be Careful What You Blog
A Microsoft employee thought that posting a picture that he snapped of a truck delivering Mac G5s on his blog was nothing more than innocent humor. Unfortunately, when his boss found out about the blog post, he was fired for a security violation. If you're going to blog about work, make sure it's okay with your boss first, especially if you're posting pictures. However, if the post was a picture of Microsoft software being delivered, I don't think he would've been fired, just given a warning. Maybe they've done this before, though, and just wanted to make a point this time. Hopefully he won't have too much trouble finding a new job. Link courtesy Leoville.

Do You Arrange Auto Suspension Repair In Mokena Illinois Purely For A Comfortable Ride?
An automobile's suspension is very much a system that includes (amongst others) the tires (including the air inside them), springs, (hydraulic) shock absorbers and flexible links. This system connects the vehicle safely to its wheels while allowing relative motion between them.
A Dual Purpose System
From the safety standpoint, the system contributes significantly to the road holding and handling characteristics of the vehicle to ensure that the vehicle does go in the direction that you are steering it into and then safely slows down or comes to a halt whenever you apply the brakes. Furthermore, it has to do this despite the condition of the road that you are driving along. Fortunately, this can usually be accomplished by a system that can also keep the car's occupants reasonably isolated from tire noise, road bumps, vibration, etc. In other words, a correctly set up system gives passengers a ride that is both safe and comfortable.
Correctly Set Up And Regularly Maintained
One has to assume that the vehicle's manufacturer has correctly designed the system to suit both the vehicle itself and the sort of driving conditions it is most likely to encounter. However, a noticeable number of owners like to modify and customize their vehicles. Bigger wheels and modified suspensions are popular items amongst such people. They may care to sacrifice passenger comfort but it is essential that they ensure that their modifications do not compromise vehicular safety.
Unfortunately, components can fail under "fair wear and tear" conditions but you should not wait for this to happen before taking the vehicle in for suspension repair in Mokena or anywhere else. Regular inspections and preventative maintenance are very important in keeping all parts of your vehicle in good, safe running order from its tires up.
Affordable and reliable suspension repair for Mokena based vehicles can be found at the nearby service centers run by VIP Tire on S. Archer Avenue or at Tinley Park. Visit them online at www.viptire.com/locations/mokena-il.aspx

Daan Manneke (1939) has written some 250 compositions for diverse instrumentations and ensembles. For example, Babel (1985) for six orchestras, music for a barrel organ, a large number of choral and organ works, chamber music (including three string quartets) carillon pieces, opera, etc. He is one of the most performed Dutch composers and many of his works have been recorded on some 36 CDs.
For decades he was senior lecturer composition at the Amsterdam Conservatory, and in the 1980s he established a class for talented
young composers. He was awarded with several important prizes in recognition for his work as a lecturer, conductor and composer. He received the royal distinction of Knight of the Order of the Dutch Lion. Music journalist Siebe Riedstra referred to Manneke as the 'Twentieth century Sweelinck.'
Daan Manneke about his work:
"Key feature of my entire oeuvre is the phenomenon of 's p a c e .' First of all, the physical space where music sounds. Inside or outside, a resounding or dry area. Living room, square, cathedral or factory hall.
In all of these circumstances, space is sort of a resonance box- soundboard-singing bowl. Many of my works are also spatial in terms of musical content: hybrid, non-consistent shapes, musical quotes, numerous textures and various musical languages."
Here is a selection of his work:

Laurence Chirac
France : The Chirac family in mourning
She was called cruelly, by one French journalist, "the girl in the iron mask".
Laurence Chirac, the eldest daughter of President Jacques Chirac of France, died at the age of 58 years old according to the newspaper Le Figaro.
She was suffering from anorexia, a mental disorder that provokes the patient's lack of appetite. The disorder was the consequence of her previous meningitis. She was also victim of depression.
Mrs Chirac was a brilliant student as a girl. She lived most of her life in seclusion in a cottage on the grounds of the Chirac's chateau in Corrèze in south west France. Her father once described her illness as "the greatest tragedy".
The Chirac family was over protected about her. The French people saw her only in family pictures that occasionally appeared in the press.
Previously in 1988 there were rumors that the President's daughter had died, and Jacques Chirac received condolences on his loss. He refused to comment or to speak on the subject of daughter in general.

A whole year has passed since we launched our support service for community organisations.
We were so sad that Community Matters essential services would be lost that we worked tirelessly with their consultancy team to quickly get a service to market that would ensure no loss in continuity for those that depended on their amazing work.
I'm so proud of what the team has achieved this year and all the amazing work that our subscribers have been delivering. In so many ways our communities have never felt more divided but the essential organisations in our communities are holding them together in the most difficult environment.
Despite community organsiations being so essential we know that being able to operate effectively has never been harder. This isn't because those who work in them and support them are any less committed but because the funding and regulatory environment consistently gets harder and tougher.
This year we have provided technical and legal advice and assistance to more than 100 organisations. We have supported numerous asset transfers, lease negotiations, CIC registrations, charity registrations, trading separations and numerous contractual matters including software development agreements. We have provided advice to national membership bodies, housing associations, local infrastructure and local authorities as well as local community organisations and their buildings.
We are part of a national partnership of organisations led by the NCVO and the Charity Commission who are working together to raise the profile and importance of quality assurance and quality marks in the charity sector. VISIBLE and pre VISIBLE assessments are still being completed across the sector and we want to help those who want to be more VISIBLE work towards accreditation. We are also reviewing our Your Value, social value tool and plan to promote that later this year.
Due to the success of the year and our commitment to ensure our work with community organisations continues to thrive and grow we have decided to bring our work with individuals and organisations together. As such we have now registered Advising Communities as a charity and a company and bought the work of Advising London under this umbrella.
Advising Communities will now become the legal advice, support and education charity for individuals in need and the essential organisations that support them in their communities.
By supporting us and using our services you can ensure that those who most need it can access the essential support and legal advice that they require and we will not be beholden to government funding to do so anymore.
It may have appeared quiet on our website and social media, but this is because we have been working hard behind the scenes on our new website which will be launching very soon. Look out for further information on our website, social media and in our next newsletter.
Thank you unreservedly to all those who have supported us and we look forward to meeting the challenges of the years ahead in partnership with all of you.

Tips for Mastering the Verbal Section of the GRE
No one answers all the GRE Verbal questions correctly, so don't put yourself under that kind of pressure. Just use the following tips to answer most of the questions right, and you'll do fine. If you're stumped, narrow your choices, take a guess, and come back to the question later. You're not penalized for guessing, so you may as well take a shot.
Here's how to avoid getting stuck on a Reading Comprehension question:
Determine the passage type (biological and physical science, social science, or humanities). This brings you a sense of control.
Focus on the first paragraph, because it lends a sense of what the entire passage is about.
If you have to guess, take a second to eliminate answer choices that you know are wrong.
When faced with Argument Analysis, follow these tips:
Restate the argument using something as simple as an if-then statement.
Look for the hidden assumption that connects the premise to the conclusion.
Find the weak supporting details and logical fallacies.
For Text Completion and Sentence Equivalence questions, be sure to
Read the entire sentence to get its basic meaning before looking at the individual blanks.
Search for key connector words (such as because, although, and however) that may change the meaning of the sentence and the blanks.
Use roots, prefixes, and suffixes to get the gist of an unfamiliar word.

Hopperational details
Date & Venue
Friday 6 May 2011 at Jubilee Park (Huntingdon Town FC, who play in the step 6 United Counties Division One)
St Neots Town 0 AFC Kempston Rovers 1
The Hinchingbrooke Cup Final
#399 on the lifetime list, the 100th match watched this season (at the 93rd new venue of the season).
This match in one sentence
A man-of-the-match performance by the Kempston goalkeeper, closely followed by those of his centre-backs, allowed the underdogs from the division below to protect a slender first-half lead.
So what?
The AFC Kempston Rovers captain had to lift this thing, and it is the first and only time in the season that St Neots Town have failed to score in a game.
The drama unfolds
To be honest, the first half was pretty tame before the goal, which came just after half an hour. St Neots looked very pretty going forward but were sometimes guilty of over-elaboration around the box. They did not really make the 'keeper work very hard, though they had a lot of the ball.
Here's a scene-setter clip, and then the goal, a neat break and finish by Aaron Baldwin. 0-1 at half time
Everyone expected St Neots to improve in the second half and so it proved. Titanic defensive performances with several excellent saves and a goalline clearance secured this win. Here are a few clips which show how and why AFC Kempston Rovers managed the win. I am assuming from the programme that the goalie at the centre of the action is Martin Conway. Final score 0-1
Alternative activity of equal excitement for tourists in Huntingdon
A day at the races, pretending to know something about racehorses but in fact placing your bets on the basis of which ones demonstrated any impolite bodily functions in the parade ring or on the way to the start line.
A snippet from the programme
This particular competition, with its impressive trophy, has been in existence since 1894-5. The Earl of Sandwich contributed five guineas to the 48 guineas to have it made.
For the record, here is AFC Kempston Rovers' route through this competition this season:
Round One – AFC Kempston Rovers 1 Eynesbury 0
Round Two – AFC Kempston Rovers 2 Irchester United 2
(AFC Kempston Rovers win 4-2 on penalties)
Semi-Final – AFC Kempston Rovers 3 Deeping Rangers 1
What I learned today
Gavin Strachan has joined St Neots Town, who are heading to step 4 after winning the United Counties Premier League and edging out King's Lynn.
What Next?
Ground #400 … ! Decided in the original spirit of this blog by the fall of one of nature's most beautiful and perfect shapes - the tetrahedron. Four identical faces in the shape of an equilateral triangle, with four vertices (corners) and six edges. Some tetrahedral dice are simply numbered one to four on each face and the number that is hidden on the bottom face counts when you have thrown it. On mine, the edges are labelled, and it is the number on the bottom edge that counts.
So ...
It's random. Thank you, as ever, for your interest.

No Data Corruption & Data Integrity in Web Hosting
The integrity of the data which you upload to your new web hosting account will be ensured by the ZFS file system that we use on our cloud platform. The majority of hosting suppliers, including our firm, use multiple hard disk drives to store content and because the drives work in a RAID, identical info is synchronized between the drives at all times. If a file on a drive becomes damaged for some reason, yet, it's more than likely that it will be copied on the other drives since alternative file systems do not include special checks for that. Unlike them, ZFS employs a digital fingerprint, or a checksum, for each file. In case a file gets corrupted, its checksum won't match what ZFS has as a record for it, so the bad copy shall be swapped with a good one from another drive. As this happens right away, there is no risk for any of your files to ever get corrupted.
No Data Corruption & Data Integrity in Semi-dedicated Servers
In case you purchase one of our semi-dedicated server solutions, you will not have to be concerned about silent file corruption because we use ZFS - a high level file system that checks all the files in real time. Every time you upload a file to your account, ZFS will assign a unique digital fingerprint to it - the so-called checksum. This file will be synchronized between multiple SSD drives for redundancy, so if a drive fails, the other ones will take over. ZFS compares the checksum of all of the copies on the different drives and when it detects a damaged copy, it replaces it with a healthy one from another drive. This happens in real time, so there will be no danger for any part of your content at any moment. By comparison, other file systems carry out checks only after a system breakdown, but since they do not use anything similar to the checksums which ZFS uses, they will not detect silently corrupted files, so a corrupted copy can be replicated on the rest of the disks as well and you can lose precious data. Since this is not the case with ZFS, we are able to guarantee the integrity of each and every file you upload no matter what.
