We happened to run across Stanton Moore and Scott Kettner at LP's NAMM 2012 booth, where the two demonstrated the musical applications of the new Stanton Moore Pandeiro. With Moore on a hand percussion drum kit and Kettner playing a traditional pandeiro, the duo interwove Brazilian rhythms and techniques with greasy second-line street beats. What you don't see in the video is the huge crowd that gathered to soak in the rhythms.

Nascar: Car of Tomorrow Debut! What do you think?
Today, at the Bristol race track, the car of tomorrow debuts. Here is a little description from the Nextell Nascar Website from those of you that do know whats up with this new car. What do you think about it? I for one do not care for it. In fact, I wish it was still the Winston Cup. Nextell is trying to make this a national sport when it belongs to the south and that is where is should stay.
CONCORD, N.C. -- NASCAR provided the latest round of updates Monday on its Car of Tomorrow project, which is slated for a March debut at Bristol Motor Speedway.
"The Car of Tomorrow will alter the competitive landscape of NASCAR in a very positive way," NASCAR president Mike Helton said. "We believe the drivers will be safer than ever; we believe the racing will be better than ever; and we believe the Car of Tomorrow will help control costs over the long haul."
The culmination of a seven-year project undertaken at NASCAR's Research and Development Center had three primary objectives: driver safety; improved performance and competition; and more efficient cost-management for the teams.
The Car of Tomorrow was built primarily with safety in mind.
• Double frame rail on the driver's side with steel plating on the outside of the roll cage door bars to help prevent intrusion during impacts.
• Energy-absorbing materials installed between the roll-cage door bars and door panels.
• Enlarged cockpit -- roof is 2 1/2 inches higher and the cockpit is 4 inches wider. The driver also is up to 4 inches to the right of where he currently sits.
• Increased strength in the floorboard.
• An enclosed 360-degree steel containment tunnel for the drive shaft.
During the development process, NASCAR also discovered ways in which the Car of Tomorrow could improve competition with a pair of unique aerodynamic pieces that teams may adjust at the track.
Rear Wing
• The rear wing is an adjustable aerodynamic feature that provides better balance and control in traffic. It replaces the rear spoiler.
• The rear wing reduces turbulent air behind the car.Rear wing enables trail car to race in "cleaner" air and promotes more passing.
• The rear wing angle adjusts between 0-16 degrees, enabling teams to change rear downforce to suit individual drivers and tracks.
• Various combinations and adjustments to sideforce-generating end plates and flat end plates allow for further at-track adjustments.
Front Splitter
• Teams can adjust the exposed portion of the front splitter fore and aft from 4-6 inches to impact downforce and aerodynamic balance.
• The front splitter is another element to achieve the aerodynamic balance that setup, driver or the track's changing conditions might dictate.
• The adjustable front splitter enables teams to tune the front downforce to suit individual drivers and tracks.
• The front and rear bumper heights have been equalized so they will be aligned if impact occurs.
With the adjustable rear wing and front splitter along with a more defined body and chassis inspection process, teams will not need to build track-specific racecars and will therefore enable teams to be more cost-efficient.
• By using a more refined body and chassis measurement process, the need for track-specific car configurations is reduced.
• By providing the race teams a "blueprint" to build chassis and bodies, teams should be able to reduce the amount of time necessary to fabricate cars.
The Car of Tomorrow design has enabled manufacturers to have an increased product and branding opportunity with the Chevrolet Impala SS, Dodge Avenger, Ford Fusion and Toyota Camry.
• NASCAR has improved the ability for manufacturers to retain their car identity by maintaining many of the characteristics of their production cars, such as front nose, grill, hood, window panels and headlights.
• The Car of Tomorrow will more resemble a manufacturer's production car than does the current racecar.
Through input from team owners, NASCAR has implemented a multiple-year rollout schedule for the Car of Tomorrow to race in its Nextel Cup Series.
In 2007, the Car of Tomorrow will race 16 times -- 13 times at ovals less than 1.5 miles, plus the two road-course events at Infineon Raceway and Watkins Glen International and the fall race at the 2.66-mile Talladega Superspeedway

Can't see the picture.
And, oh my goodness, where is Virginian when you need him? He's going to eat this post up, he loves NASCAR.
And WE love YOU EMILY!!!!...500 fights, that's the number I figured when I was a kid. 500 street fights and you could consider yourself a legitimate tough guy. You need them for experience. To develop leather skin. So I got started. Of course along the way you stop thinking about being tough and all that. It stops being the point. You get past the silliness of it all. But then, after, you realize that's what you are.
They suck.
It looks like the stupid ricer race cars the high school kids are driving.....
And as far as the models go, who the hell ever thought a Camry was a "Tough racecar" and went out to buy one to race at the local track or from red light to red light on the street? Impala's not any better nowadays.. The old days of Impalas having balls is long gone!...........................................
Ok... Doesn't NASCAR have something in the name about "Stock Car"? What the fuck happened to Stock Cars??? I give up... Somebody come to VA and end it for me please..."Where's your towel Arthur?" -Ford Prefect
"You! On your knees!" -Green Jello

I think they need to go back to the original term of stock car. Take the actual body of a street car and make it a racecar under the hood, in the suspension, etc.
While brand identity is a little more evident with the CoT, they're all basically still the same damn thing. Without the decals you couldn't tell one of them from another. Let's go back to the real "win on Sunday, sell cars on Monday" mentality.

CoT - don't like it. Keep the body of the car with its boxier greenhouse and the safety improvements, but ditch that front diffuser and put the current nose back on. The noses were the last thing that differentiated the current cars.
The wing I'm not in love with, but find me a car with a spoiler anymore. May not be what we're used to, but a wing is a lot more stock than a blade these days.
Edit : Quick and dirty image edit. Hmm, that's fugly too. The old swoopy nose on the boxy car looks like a beak.

No point starting a new NASCAR thread. Besides, the poll on this one is still active. I watched today's race and have some new questions.
Now that you've seen the CoT race a few times, has your opinion changed? More positive or negative than before?
Did Gordon's tribute to Earnhardt rub you the wrong way?
What should be done about so called fans throwing things on the track?
To answer my own questions - the CoT is growing on me. I don't especially like it, but I'm already getting used to it. * Jeff Gordon's tribute was a tribute, I'm sure that's what he was doing, and I still didn't like it. But then I'm not into this whole burnout after winning idea to start with. If he would have driven a Polish salute with the flag held high I would have taken it differently. * And finally, as to so called fans who throw things - they should be banned from every ISC track for life. Criminal charges on top of that.

Unfortunately these days, law enforcement deaths have been happening all-too-frequently. In the past 24 hours alone, 11 officer have been killed. In 2010, line-of-duty deaths rose 40% from 2009 statistics, and 2011 is getting off to a rocky start. I am praying for all of our law enforcement officers out there, as well as our first responders, firefighters, and anyone else who runs to the face of danger while the rest of us are running from it.
Glenn, I agree with you that we should find out how to donate to donate to local LOD death funds to help support the families and children of the fallen. God knows America owes her public safety professionals every bit of gratitude we can muster. And we must forever shun those violent extremists, left or right, communist or anarchists, who still target LEOs (or as they still call them "pigs," which is totally disgraceful).
If you do nothing else this weekend and this upcoming week (hell, for the rest of your lives while you're still standing), please see how you can help with families of fallen officers, and as important, when you see an officer, make a concerted effort to shake their hands, tell them how much you appreciate them, and implore them to be sure and wear their vests.

I went into this new noe valley branch (was a circle bank branch before) on christmas eve around 1pm to personally deposit a large check and some cash. Branch personnel assured me that $200 of my check and all of my cash would be available for withdrawl immediately. On christmas morning, i went to send my giftly gift certificates to my remote family and loved ones and... No money. No money, not even the cash, had been posted!!! I am new to this bank, and though staff is friendly, staff is not competent nor well-informed. Umpqua bank has ruined christmas 2012. The bank is in violation of its own stated policies regarding money handling (listed on their website and on the deposit receipts i was given yesterday). If a bank cannot handle my money in a consistent and trustworthy manner, what good are they as a bank?! In fact, what the hell are they even doing in the banking business?!! **************
update: the day after christmas, my account manager contacted me directly and apologized. Apparently the circle bank employees had not yet been fully trained on umpqua bank processes and one of them had not written my deposit amount in a way that the computers could read the scans, so in fact the deposit needed to be manually entered later on, which wasn't discovered until the day after christmas. While it is clear that they need to be more on-the-ball with this merger, it is also clear that it was not intentional, and that it is in the merger process that performance results are going to be a little uneven until they complete the transition.
This bank declined my credit card payment because they "have spending limits on my account". I have money in the account via direct deposit from my employer for past 7 years now and I am very prudent and careful when it comes to funds movements. Regardless all of this that retarded bank declined the transaction without even telling me! The company I ordered from told me about it.
After numerous phone calls to the bunk customer service, answering stupid security questions (â?¦â??what is your favorite pet? What were you thinking when you married your wife?-who the f**k remembers that, they always ask the wrong question!) and waiting 25 minutes for supervisorâ??s decision to temporary lift the spending limit, my transaction was finally approved.
Their security protocol so outdated, it reminds me hide and seek games in insanity ward. Because of there shenanigans, my order was broken into three different parts (obviously they are not going to ship anything to you if your payment has been declined).
Here I am, 3 weeks from original order date, sitting and waiting for the part for my vehicle. It took unanswered e-mails, many phone calls and placement of the second order to get this thing finally moving. It's crazy. All of this pain because of this IDIOTS! I cannot even start to tell you the inconvenience this has caused. My work schedule has to be rearranged few times just to accommodate new delivery.
Ask your self a simple question; is it worth it to go through so many difficulties just because you wanted to use YOUR MONEY? None of my previous banking experiences compares to this crap. This is the worst bank in the world.
We started multiple accounts with Umpqua as they are local, portrayed themselves as different + had great offerings. At first, four years ago, they lived up to their motto as "Greatest Bank in the World". This was as all the big banks were in trouble both financially + with customers.
As what I can only guess as larger veteran players swept into the Umpqua system + greed replaced any sense of community + service the whole product range + experience has gone into the toilet.
Every aspect of what I've encountered lately from multiple same business errors to online banking to customer service both in branch + online has been pitiful + lacking. It's only compounded to read about the shiny new store in SF + the millions spent on buying out a CA bank only to lose all the perks that brought us into the Umpqua fold in the first place.
We're are currently looking to take all of our accounts + business elsewhere + I can only recommend you do the same.

Made this last night with fresh strawberries at the peak of their season. It's light, not too sweet and oh-so-tasty. Even my husband, who normally won't eat strawberries, had only good things to say. I did not find it dry at all, it just tasted like cornmeal, as one would expect. As a side note, I used regular (i.e. bleached) flour and vanilla yogurt because that's what I had on hand, and these worked fine. Simply a perfect way to use those summer strawberries!
Jessica Paige
I think most of the other reviewers have summed it up pretty well...with this cake is great! My only additional comment would be that it makes a great tasting gluten-free cake as well. I used a gluten-free flour mix instead of AP flour and the results were excellent. Thank you Jen for sharing this recipe with us.
I love this recipe and so does everyone I feed it to. For a twist, use blue cornmeal rather than the regulation yellow.

Staff reports
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — Public opinion of the city's newly announced "Impact Team Project" is a mixed bag weighed down with skepticism.
Last week, Mayor Michael Tucker announced creation of a multi-agency impact team and "impact zones," specific geographic areas that are targeted for increased police patrol and building code enforcement. The Niagara County Sheriff's Department and New York State Police are participating and sent representatives to the Friday press conference at City Hall, which drew TV news cameras as well as print reporters.
The first impact zone consists of twenty-five or so residential blocks roughly bounded by Erie, High, Transit and Walnut streets, Police Chief Lawrence Eggert said. Increased patrolling by multiple police agencies was to begin immediately, with an emphasis on Vehicle and Traffic Law enforcement by means including unannounced road blocks.
Within the zone, city building inspectors will be inspecting exteriors on 1,100 parcels looking for building code violations. All property types, single- as well as multiple-unit residential dwellings and commercial properties, are said to be in their sights.
Project Impact's aim is to weed out scofflaws and encourage property upkeep in sections of the city that struggle most with crime and blight. Tucker said it's also intended as a message to "outsiders," particularly non-residents engaged in drug trade, that order will be defended here.
The declaration followed a series of unusually violent and/or alarming criminal incidents in the city since November, including two shootings, the physical assault of a child and several significant drug busts.
Impact zones will be declared one at a time, based on spikes in local crime rates, Tucker said.
The Erie-High-Transit-Walnut zone is first after police noted a 27 percent increase in year-over-year police service calls in that area, Eggert said. Police service calls are anything police do, from writing parking tickets to fielding nuisance complaints to investigating a robbery. A sudden spike in the rate suggests the area could use extra policing, to "nip (problems) in the bud" before they're considered a normal part of the landscape, Eggert said.
In Facebook postings and interviews with a US&J reporter this week, some residents seemed less than appreciative of the impact zone declaration.
John and Linda Rosenberg of Genesee Street dislike the way it mischaracterizes, even maligns, their neighborhood. They've lived on the block between Washburn and Locust streets for 35 years, expanded the family business, Prudden & Kandt Funeral Home, encouraged their children to buy homes close by, and they say it's not nearly as bad as police and city officials have made it out to be.
"We have wonderful, caring neighbors ... and a few pigs who ruin things. That's true all over this city," Mrs. Rosenberg said, "but it's always Genesee Street that gets labeled "the red zone, the war zone, the ghetto. ... They target when they really need to clean up everything. The whole city needs a good scrubbing."
A few writers on Facebook suggested the city going for "impact" now is like closing the barn door well after the horse bolted. Blight and crime have been dragging down the targeted area for decades while "complacent" city officials, landlords and residents watched, Kenny Allore wrote on the US&J Facebook page.
Others suspect the city's true interest isn't in aiding long-beseiged residents, it's in protecting the "money," that is, new investors in the zone — Housing Visions, which put almost $9 million into a rental housing development on Genesee, Locust and Pine streets, and Trek Inc., a manufacturing company that's poised to sink $5 million into relocating to Harrison Place.
"Only reasoning for this 'step up' is because Tucker wants a business to move into the Harrisons plant!" Kelly Hall wrote.
"You didn't care til you got money," Bethany Coley wrote.
"Tucker is thumping his political chest," Spalding Street rental property owner Stephen Walsh said in a Tuesday interview. "I laughed when I read about this (impact zone). ... Government exists to protect government. To the extent that people buy into the notion that this is for them, well, we get what we deserve. ... Police officers will remain employed, that's the only 'impact' I foresee."
Walsh, who bought up and rehabilitated several residential properties around the city, says rental property owners struggle to recruit the kinds of tenants who'd make good neighbors. High property taxes and the threat of reassessment discourage housing improvement, he said; and even nice housing commands relatively low rent in this market.
City officials tend to act as though blight is the fault of landlords, but simple things the officials could do to improve neighborhoods — like add street lighting in dark areas — they won't do without badgering, if at all, Walsh added.
He's been asking, intermittently and unsuccessfully the past four years, for a street light at the end of Seidhoff Alley, an abandoned dead-end street off Spalding that a number of residents have ended up using for parking or back-yard access. The dark alley also draws drug users and vandals and blemishes an otherwise "safe, clean" neighborhood, he said.
"I can't increase the quality of tenants without a light," Walsh said. "I'm not going to have any more luck recruiting (good tenants) when the neighborhood becomes known as a place where people's liberty is infringed on (as) they're ticketed for dumb stuff like driving 5 miles over the speed limit."
Other residents see the impact zone declaration as a positive for the area.
Lewis Street homeowner Kevin Vincent thinks it's "very good news," especially the building code enforcement side of the project.
"I've always said our little neighborhood was like an oasis in the desert ... but we have definitely seen a downturn (here) the last five to seven years," he said. "I agree that the trouble seems to come from outside the city," especially when rental properties are held by non-local owners.
If increased code enforcement "sends a message .... that there are repercussions for not keeping things up, I welcome that," Vincent said. "At the very least, they should make their properties as presentable as the people who've been here a long time."
On Facebook, Lisa Rutherford suggested "better late than never," while Denise Rich, who identified herself as an ex-zone and city resident, encouraged a greater police presence in all the "bad" parts of Lockport.JUMP IN Add to the conversation on t

Crossheads and Guides. A variety of forms of crossheads and guides are now found in use on locomotives, two of the most common of which are illustrated in Fig. 80 and Fig. 81. The form illustrated in Fig. 80 is known as the 4-bar guide and that shown in Fig. 81, as the 2-bar guide. The form used depends largely on the type of engine. The 4-bar guide now used on light engines consists of four bars A which form the guide with the crosshead B between them. The bars are usually made of steel and the crosshead of cast-steel having babbitted wearing surfaces. The 4-bars A are bolted to the guide blocks C and D which are held by the back cylinder head and the guide yoke E, respectively. The guide yoke E is made of steel, extends from one side of the locomotive to the other, is securely bolted to both frames, and serves to hold the rear end of both guides. There is usually a very strong brace connected to the guide yoke which is riveted to the boiler. The wrist pin used in the crosshead of the 4-bar type is cast solid with the crosshead.
The 2-bar guide consists of two bars, one above and one below the center line of the cylinder with the crosshead between them. In this type the parts are more accessible for making adjustments and repairs and the wrist pin is made separate from the crosshead.
In the design of the crosshead, the wearing surface must be made large enough to prevent heating. In practice it has been found that for passenger locomotives the maximum pressure between the cross-head and guides should be about 40 pounds per square inch while for freight locomotives it may be as high as 50 pounds per square inch. For crosshead pins, the allowable pressure per square inch of projected area is usually assumed at 4,800 pounds, the load on the pin to be considered as follows: For simple engines, the total pressure on the pin is taken to be equal to the area of the piston in square inches multiplied by the boiler pressure in pounds per square inch; for compound engines of the tandem and Vauclain types, the total pressure on the pin is taken to be equal to the area of the low-pressure piston in square inches multiplied by the boiler pressure in pounds per square inch, the whole being divided by the cylinder ratio plus 1. In the latter case, the cylinder ratio equals the area of the high-pressure cylinder divided by that of the low-pressure cylinder.

It recognizes students based on their academic performance over the preceding academic year (Summer, Fall and Spring semesters). Dean's List honorees have placed in the top third of their division/class based upon their cumulative GPA encompassing the Summer, Fall and Spring semesters from the previous academic year.
Additional Awards
Student achievement is recognized by awards and prizes given annually and semi-annually. The school of law has established four recognition awards. The Faculty Award is conferred upon a graduate in the evening-division program and a graduate in the day-division program for outstanding academic achievement (highest academic average) during the law school course of study. The Alumni Award, established by the Law School Alumni Society in 1978, is given to a graduating student in the evening division and another in the day division on the basis of academic excellence; participation in extracurricular and cocurricular activities; and dedication to the law school, university, and community. The Dean's Award is given by the law school dean to the president or chair of each recognized law school organization. The Extra Mile Award, established in 1991, recognizes students who go the "extra mile" in contributing to the law school. The Michael F. Curtin Pro Bono Award recognizes a law student who has honored the highest ideals of the Columbus School of Law by voluntary pro bono service to others.
The Moot Court Board makes several awards throughout the year to students participating in the moot court competitions, both appellate arguments and original trials.
The American Bankruptcy Institute Medal of Excellence is given annually to one student selected by each accredited law school as having excelled in bankruptcy studies. Typically, those professors teaching bankruptcy courses jointly select the most deserving student who has demonstrated excellence in class work and exhibited an interest in pursuing a career in bankruptcy law.

The Daily Item
People are struggling across the Valley. While getting stronger, the economy remains anemic and many people still need a job. Add to the mix higher prices for gasoline and home heating oil and the rise in food costs, and almost everyone is having a difficult time, employed or not.
Many Valley residents are in this boat for the first time, the economy having taken their jobs and means of income. Unemployment rates for Valley counties in September — the latest statistics available — range from 5.5 percent in Montour to 7.8 percent in Northumberland.
Others are having a difficult time climbing out of the boat for the same reason; the economy has seen budgets tighten and programs go underfunded.
It's clear people could use a hand, and that's the driving force behind this year's Needy Family Fund: Let us help.
The special fund-raising project of The Daily Item, Sunbury Broadcasting Corp. and Susquehanna Bank, administered through Salvation Army citadels in Milton and Sunbury, has one goal: Raise $75,000 to provide food and gifts to needy Valley families.
Your donations, be they 25 cents or $2,500, let Salvation Army citadels get food and toys to families that need them, giving them less to worry about and more time to enjoy one another this season.
Contributions are tax-deductible.
Make checks payable to:
The Daily Item Fund
for Needy Families
To mail or drop off contributions:
The Daily Item Fund for Needy Families
Susquehanna Bank, 400 Market St.,
Sunbury, PA 17801
Donations can also be left with Susquehanna Bank offices in Sunbury, Selinsgrove, Milton, Lewisburg, Shamokin West, Shamokin East, Kulpmont, Mount Carmel and Pillow.

jOBS, the unofficial Steve Jobs biopic, gets a website, reveals new details
The unofficial, independent Steve Jobs biopic starring Ashton Kutcher, has gotten an official name -- jOBS -- a website, and has released some new details about the production.
The film chronicling the life of Steve Jobs, the Apple Inc. co-founder and charismatic master of innovation, begins principal photography in June and in keeping with the project's commitment to accuracy and authenticity, will film early scenes in the actual Los Altos home where Jobs grew up and in the historic garage where he and Steve Wozniak founded Apple.
jOBS is produced by Mark Hulme and Five Star Pictures and directed by Joshua Michael Stern of Swing Vote and Neverwas.
jOBS chronicles the 30 most defining years of Steve Jobs' life, as seen through his, colleagues', and friends' eyes. Dark, honest, and uncompromising, jOBS plunges into the depths of his character, creating an intense dialogue-driven story that is as much a sweeping epic as it is an immensely personal portrait of Steve Jobs' life.
On the film's website, thejobsmovie.com, Hulme elaborates on his motivations for making jOBS.
One of the great innovators and futurist patriarchs of our time, Steve Jobs was somehow simultaneously a prophet and a pariah for millions of consumers. His is a truly fascinating story that cannot properly be told in such a short space, and that is why we are determined to bring his tale –both the good and the bad, the regrettable and unforgettable, the villainous and heroic– to the big screen.
Just recently Ashton Kutcher was seen out and about in his Steve Jobs wardrobe.
jOBS current has the tagline "Get inspired" and is scheduled for a late fall, 2012 release. That should be well ahead of the official biopic produced by Sony and based on the Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson, which just hired Aaron Sorkin of The Social Network and The West Wing to pen their script.

I feel that a few years ought to have been allowed to pass before a film was made about The Steve.
I halfway expected it to be titled "iFilm."
Just signed up for a chance to be an extra on the film. Already did the extra thing, but wasn't visible in the final cut ("Cherish," 2002: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0298798/)
Not impressed.
Why not ? Cause Sony is doing this ?! You'd be all over this if it was Apple's idea and film ! ;) :lol:

Remember Me
One of the oft heard complaints about modern medicine is that it's dominated by "big pharma," that is greedy, soulless corporations who lie to us and suppress less expensive and more effective treatments for monetary gain. While it's true that corporations are out for monetary gain, and there have been irregularities as with any big business, let's take a look at the pot that's calling the kettle greedy here.
Consider a single product: Oscillococcinum.
Pharmaceuticals such as Tamiflu and Zithromax are tested for years before they're released to the public. Teams of chemists, lawyers, doctors, nurses, clinical researches, and study subjects go over every conceivable side effect or quality control issue before the drug is released to the market. These procedures cost an incredibly large amount of money, and while it may, in fact, be ridiculous to charge $5 for a pill, there is at least some basis for them being expensive. Part of that basis, is that they have active ingredients.
Not so for Oscilloccinum.
Each capsule is 1 gram, and it contains a 200X preparation of muscovy duck heart and liver, .15g of lactose (milk sugar), and .85g of sucrose (table sugar). For those unwilling to do math, the sugars add up to 1.00g. Er.. where's the duck liver? Well, a 200x preparation of anything is past Avogadro's limit. It's chemically impossible for there to be even one molecule of duck liver in an Oscilloccinum capsule. That means... there is exactly no duck liver in it. In fact, it's a capsule of sugar, more suited for sweetening tea than reducing your flu symptoms. The tea might help though.
What does the company have to say about this? Gina Casey, manufacturer Boiron's spokesman says "Of course it's safe: there's nothing in it."
So how much is this product that's basically less than 1¢ worth of sugar? $21.59 will buy you 6 dosages, which are to be taken up to three times a day. At $3.60 a capsule, that's a pretty tidy profit, wouldn't you say? Oh, I failed to mention... it's available in over 50 countries.
I was in a "health" food store today, and their very prominent displays of Oscillococcinum were nearly depleted. Why? Fear of H1N1 or "Swine Flu." Not even Boiron says the stuff will do anything to prevent the flu, but people are buying it in droves.
Greed did someone say? I'd say selling something with no active ingredients is the very definition of greed. In fact, there's another word for it: snake oil. Maybe we can find some tar to go with all those duck feathers their factories must produce. Oh wait, never mind. A single duck would have provided far more than enough liver and heart for every single capsule ever made. And it would still be quacking to boot, just like the people who promote this stuff.
One of the oft heard complaints about modern medicine is that it's dominated by "big pharma," that is greedy, soulless corporations who lie to us and suppress less expensive and more effective treatments for monetary gain.
In fact, there's another word for it: snake oil.
This doesn't even follow the rules for homeopathy, because eating duck liver and heart doesn't give you flu-like symptoms.
I encourage anyone to read Hahnemann's Organon of homeopathy, the "Bible" of homeopathy. It is boring to the extreme and goes on, page after page after page after page, ranting about how horrible conventional medicine is.
For that amount of money I can buy a whole Muscovy duck, have a beautiful roast duck and make a lovely pate from its liver.
does anyone actually know whether or not companies that make these products actually go through the hassle of taking the "active" ingredient and diluting it 200 times?
how is it that homeopatic medicines are normally administered in pill form without even any of this 'magic water' present?
What puzzles me is that doctors, who get a fairly solid scientific basis during their studies, are still able to buy into this stuff. It not only puzzles me, it worries me greatly, and I find that I have to continuously remind myself of the fact that the probability that modern medicine will extend my life is a lot higher than the probability that homeopathy and other forms of quackery will do so, because it fills me with horror and fear.
