The e-reader era just arrived, but now it may be ending.
Dedicated devices for reading e-books have been a hot category for the past half-dozen years, but the shrinking sizes and falling prices of full-featured tablet computers are raising questions about the fate of reading-only gadgets like Amazon.com Inc.

Market-researcher IDC recently estimated 2012 global e-reader shipments at 19.9 million units, down 28% from 27.7 million units in 2011. By contrast, IDC's 2012 tablet forecast is 122.3 million units.
Specialized devices for reading e-books have been hot sellers for five years-but one market-research company forecasts a significant decline in 2014. The WSJ's Greg Bensinger explains why the introduction of lighter tablets may spell the end of the e-reader era.
The Barnes & Noble Nook, left, and the Amazon.com Kindle Paperwhite Bloomberg
IHS iSuppli comes up with different totals, but it sees a similar trend. It estimates that shipments of dedicated e-readers peaked in 2011 and predicts that 2012 shipments slid to 14.9 million units, down 36% from a year earlier. By 2015, it expects unit sales of dedicated e-readers to be just 7.8 million.
One problem is that some users who bought e-readers see no particular urgency to buy another. Julie Curtis, a substance-abuse counselor in Stow, Ohio, says she is devoted to her two-year-old Kindle. "It works fine, I really have no reason to get a new one," she says. "If I did ever want to upgrade, it would probably be to a tablet, like the Kindle Fire," she adds.
E-readers seemed revolutionary when they came into vogue in 2007. They allowed users to store and read hundreds of books on a device that was lighter than many hardcovers and took up much less space. In addition, digital books cost less to buy.
In the intervening years, e-reader designs improved. The devices looked sleeker, they were easier to read, they weighed less, their pages turned faster, and they held more books. Wireless capability allowed users to download novels, magazines and newspapers wherever they were, whenever they wanted, and now the devices allow for reading in the dark.
Tablet Wars
See how some of the more popular tablets stack up.
Timeline: Bookending Barnes & Noble
From humble beginnings to a bookselling behemoth, Barnes & Noble has seen ups and downs over the decades as it tried to straddle the world of paper books and e-books.
"The real innovation in e-readers has been giving consumers a convenient way to buy books, wirelessly, without even having to use their computers," says Sarah Rotman Epps, a Forrester Research analyst. "Giving consumers a digital storefront right in their hands, that's what really made e-readers a phenomenon."
But tastes and technology have moved on. People haven't stopped reading. They are just increasingly likely to read e-books on tablets rather than e-readers, according to a recent Pew Research Center report. The polling firm found that 23% of Americans said they had read e-books in 2012, compared with 16% in 2011.
And ever cheaper tablet computers can be used not just as sophisticated readers but also as Web browsers, game consoles and cameras. "For most consumers, a multi-use tablet is a better fit, particularly at the price points at which tablets can now be had," says Tom Mainelli, IDC's tablet research director. "E-readers will eventually become a niche product."
The trend away from dedicated e-readers stems, in part, from their more-limited capabilities, which often include monochrome screens and rudimentary Web surfing. Tablet computers, such as Apple Inc. AAPL -0.06% Apple Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq $530.44 -0.31 -0.06% March 7, 2014 5:00 pm Volume (Delayed 15m) : 7.72M AFTER HOURS $530.45 +0.01 0.00% March 7, 2014 8:59 pm Volume (Delayed 15m): 197,594 P/E Ratio 13.07 Market Cap $473.45 Billion Dividend Yield 2.30% Rev. per Employee $2,163,820 03/09/14 Google Searches for an App Rol... 03/06/14 Pixelworks Shares Surge On App... 03/06/14 Judge Denies Apple Request to ...

The price gap for many tablets has also narrowed, making them even more attractive to consumers. Google, for instance, sells a version of its Nexus 7 tablet for just $199, and Amazon now offers a $159 model of its Fire device, which is $20 less than the most expensive Kindle e-reader and $40 more than the priciest Nook. And the arrival of the iPad Mini recently brought the entry price of Apple tablets to $329, down from $499 at the original iPad size.
Not that all tablets are being embraced by consumers. Some data have shown a slow start to such devices powered by Microsoft Corp.'s MSFT -0.66% Microsoft Corp.

Sales of Windows notebooks and tablets fell 13% in the Oct. 21 to Dec. 8 time period, compared with the same stretch in 2011, according to NPD Group. The market-research firm says the Windows 8 tablet sales it measured were immaterial. (It hasn't tracked sales of Microsoft's new Surface tablet.)
On Thursday, Barnes & Noble said that revenue at its Nook segment—which includes both tablets and e-readers, as well as digital content and accessories—fell 13% from a year earlier to $311 million for the nine-week holiday period ended Dec. 29. The company doesn't detail sales for specific devices.
A Barnes & Noble spokeswoman didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. An Amazon spokeswoman declined to comment.
Despite the trends, dedicated e-readers have some selling points. They tend to be lighter than most tablets, and a different style of display improves their battery life. Barnes & Noble says the low-end Simple Touch version of its Nook line can operate up to two months on a battery charge, compared with around 10 hours of reading on its Nook HD tablet.
There have also been major improvements in e-readers, including touch-screen technology and self-lighting screens. "E-readers are dramatically better today than they were even two years ago," says Avi Greengart, an analyst at Current Analysis.
Moreover, e-reader prices have fallen sharply, with Kindles starting as low as $69 for a model that comes with ads.

Anybody else come back and re-read the whole series? i do :)
Hell yeah, this is more than just plain hentai to me... It's a little nostalgic. This was one of the first hentai manga's I'd ever read *on Fakku ;)* and I remember it was during the middle of summer vacation and it felt good during that time, all I did was hang out with good friends, play video games, watch anime and read mangas/hentai (not all at once). Twas a peaceful time, perfect* weather to fap, by far. The story isn't bad at all for a hentai, I got so into this manga that it grew on me and THAT is why this it means a lot to me.
Oddly enough, it's also one of my few extremely fond memories. I literally felt like I was in heaven while reading this. It was the combination of good times, feel-good mood, perfect weather and good fapping material that made it such a pleasant memory.

About National Stroke Awareness Month
In 1989 National Stroke Association received the Presidential Proclamation recognizing May as National Stroke Awareness Month (view a copy of the proclamation). The goal of this annual campaign is to raise public awareness about stroke risk factors, prevention, symptom recognition and acting fast to treat stroke. In addition, this is a time for remembering those who have survived a stroke and to let them know that we are here for them throughout their lifelong recovery journey.
Are You Ready to Get Involved?
National Stroke Awareness Month is right around the corner and is a great opportunity to educate your employees, friends, family and community about stroke.
Please check back in March for downloadable materials and event ideas.

Family Prayer
November 16, 2005, 01:15:56 PM »
How do those of you with families incorporate prayer and Bible reading into your day? I'm one of those zealous converts who used to get up early and pray the Psalter through each week. But now that I'm married with a five month old daughter, this obviously does not work and I'm trying to come up with a simpler rule that we can all pray together. I want my daughter to grow up with the prayers of the Church and passages from the Scripture as a normal routine. Do you have morning and evening prayers together as a family? One or the other? Right after dinner, right before bed, or something else?

I'm an Anglican, but I also have a family of 3 children. (Congratulations on your daughter. Are you getting much sleep?
Mornings are too full of things like pulling the eldest out of bed by his feet, getting middle one moving, keeping youngest from doing something ahem "interesting" while we'renot looking and getting breakfast, then getting the lot of them off to 3 different schools at 3 different times.
Having dinner as a family with grace being said and prayers together at bedtime is what we do. On the rare Sunday that we don't make it to church (snow and such) we have Morning Prayer.

I am married but with no children. It's been a rough road to incorporate morning and evening prayers in that state though so I can't imagine with kids--but I know families that do it. Sometimes one just has to pray at different times than the rest of the family and let the kids do something simpler. However, using the HTM prayerbook I find that my morning prayers take only 5 minutes and evening prayers are about 12 minutes on average if I don't add on anything to the book. If I have more time then I might do something else but I think it's important to have a "base" practice for every day.

As a father of 5 children and now 8 grandchildren who are often in my home, my wife and I found that the only time that fully works for the full family for "family Prayer" is in the evening either immediately before or immediately after supper. We had a family rule that everyone (dad included) had to be at home for supper so for us it was the only time we could guarantee everyone was at home for family prayer. My wife usually held 'morning prayer for the little ones after I went to work (I left about 6:30 every morning---I was in the Military) as they got to be teenagers, they did their own morning prayers but really focused on the evening Family prayers. Indeed the kids would get upset if I was home late and missed supper or one of the other kids thought band/sports practice was more important than being home for the family supper with prayers. Even today, being married, if they are invited over for supper, they always preface acceptance with "if I can stay for family prayers".
We of course help individual bed time prayers with each of the children as well, and those two things seem to have gone forward into their homes. Evening family prayers and evening bedside prayers.
In Christ,

Before my daughter was born, I started out doing a simple rule. Then I joined the Army, and basic training put a stop to my prayer rule (I dare anyone to try to find time to do an actual prayer rule during basic combat training). To be honest, my prayer life has been all but destroyed during my time in the Army. There's really not much room for a prayer rule set at a specific time, the way things work here. It's only going to get worse when I go overseas, too, with such a tumultuous schedule. The best I can do right now is blessing the food at night, and that's about it. I think it's affected my life quite a bit, too. Anyway, sorry I'm unloading, but I haven't really been able to talk abou this with anyone but the priest. Your prayers would be appreciated. Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving!

I am a protestant interested in converting. Saw this topic and had to ask: some of the posts above indicate that you pray almost by rote, which is strange to a nondenomination Christian who always believed if a prayer is just spoken from memory or read, it is not really valid. How is prayer really done in Orthodoxy? Is there any place for each individual formulating their own prayers, or are they in addition to the common daily prayers that are spoken?

Any personal prayer must be in addition to a prayer book, formulaic style prayer. We believe that formulaic prayer is intrinsic to the Christian faith, as it came directly out of Jewish daily prayer (the Shema) and Jesus told us to pray the Our Father as an example.
If you only prayed what came to your mind, you would in effect be in control, and Orthodoxy is about total submission of the will to Jesus Christ. So, it's important to pray what the Church (Christ's body) wants us to in a cycle. Personal intercessions and acts of contritition of a more individual nature are surely welcome, but in addition to the formulaic prayers.
I was once a member of a Lutheran Protestant Church, and they valued formulaic prayers as well. Could you kindly explain for us why non-Denominational Christians are often against formulaic prayers? This has always confused me. I mean sure, if you are just rattling off the prayers rotely you are not doing much good (although developing the discipline is good, even if we are distracted); we agree on that. But that's not what we are doing when we pray forumulaic prayers. For instance, when I pray, I try to "make those prayers my own" so to speak. I try to reflect as I am praying on how these prayers affect me or apply to me in a personal way--and it's interesting how prayers composed 1500 years ago DO affect me and DO reflect me.

I think you hit it on the head. I don't believe a prayer is a prayer unless it is from the heart. I think other non high church protestants believe that, too. And at the Divine Liturgy I attended, I felt the service went so fast that the various prayers being said were really just being read as quickly as possible by the pastor. I am just worried that it is really easy to become an autopilot zombie if you are just reciting prayers from a book. That being said, I also understand that those type of prayers are very, very effective and valid if said from an attitude of prayer and humility.

There is the prayer rule that you come up with under the guidance of a spiritual father, which generally isn't all that overwhelming, and that isn't to say that we don't spend the remainder of the day issuing small prayers and petitions to Christ and The Saints in our own personal way. The prayer rule is a sign, as previously stated, of submission or obedience to Christ through The Church. The way it was explained to me was that you can't sort of just say "I think I'll have a little God now" or "I don't feel like any God right now" but you have to devote set times (to the best of your ability, I'm no example with my scattered schedule and life) and a set rule to Christ as a sort of discipline. But seriously, stop reading what we have to say and talk with a priest about it, or a deacon! This is the best bet. Or a monk, if you can find one, but be careful. Monks are very...uh, heavy, and as a parishoner, you'd probably be better off working this sort of discussion out with a parish priest. Okay, I'm going to stop before I get too far ahead of myself. Apologies

Very good info, I am in an e-mail dialogue with an Antiochian Father nearby, have not attended his parish yet, but hope to this Sunday, if I can drag my highly skeptical wife to it. I have asked him to go to lunch too so I can talk face to face and get my questions answered. Thanks for the info.

Another thing, Searching, I think you might do best in an Antiochian parish, too. I mean this sincerely, as the two main convert magnets seem to be the OCA and the AOC. The Antiochian parishes that I've been to seem to have a lot of former evangelicals/non-high church protestants in them, so if that's the background you come from, you may find yourself quite comfortable there, as well as more easily informed by people who understand the kinds of questions and concerns you may have. It's so different for me, because I was a complete atheist (okay, maybe an agnostic at the end of it all), so I didn't have the same kinds of doctrinal concerns and doubts. Good luck and God be with you

Searching-  Sometimes the words in a prayer book are better at saying what we want to pray then what we come up with.  Sometimes they're there even if we don't *feel* like praying.  Pray is like other kinds of exercise or discipline, I think. If people only exercised or studied when they really felt like it, "from the heart" as it were, I'd guess it wouldn't happen nearly as much as it ought. ÂÂ
C. S. Lewis in "The Screwtape Letters" and "Letters To Malcolm" writes about praying.

Thanks you guys for the great advice. The Antichian mission church in this area is almost entirely converts and is led by a former NY cop who was originally a charismatic Episcopalian. He moved down here to take the mission, and is apparently not compensated much if at all,living off his retirement. I talked to him on the phone Sunday night and he is really nice, and I am trying to convince my wife to at least go to a service with me (she is not much interested in Orthodoxy) on Sunday and give it a try. One positive is that he said they have pews there,so I won't get a backache (lol) like I did last Sunday when I visited the local OCA parish.

Is outrage!
Anyways, don't be fooled. Even if there is seating for those that are not sick or elderly, it is still only to be used at a few short instances during the service, if even. You will still be standing most of the time

I'll just have to hope there is a chiropractor in the congregation!
Seriously, I think his point was that my wife (and anyone, for that matter) will not feel so out of place, and will be able to sit if she wants to. Just started to check out your website by the way, will look at it some tonight. Gasp, there might be such thing as an Evangelistic Orthodox person after all. There should be many more of you, you are the ones who were the original evangelists!
I think the wave of protestant converts may help the Church grow as never before in our part of the world. We aren't afraid to evangelize as you probably know.

Standing during the service actually increases your attention to God, as you are not tempted to relax and blow it off (if you do you will fall). I think it is one of the things that causes so much reverence in our churches.
We are all supposed to evangelize as much as we can...

Another late response..but here it goes.
We do evening prayers as a family. Often it is compline from our prayer book. Sometimes we will do a reader's vespers (since my hubby is a reader for 2 more weeks LOL). Sometimes we do an Akathist, especially if it is one of our patronal feast days or a special day for someone.
Our evening prayers take us about 30 minutes. Those who can read each take a part with our oldest son doing the bulk of the reading. Each child does the best he or she can. Sometimes the 2yo and 4yo can be found playing a little but they are all quiet.
After our evening prayers, Nico reads a chapter from "The Law of God" which we then discuss and then the children are able to ask questions.
Since I homeschool, we do a shorter version of morning prayers and then read the Prologue together. The older 2 children do the prescribed Bible reading as part of their schooling.

We've had to adjust our prayer life since our daughter was born. We've got an abbreviated version of Evening Prayers that we do in her room in front of her icons, after her bath, right before we turn off the lights to put her to sleep. Short and simple, but a good starting point. We plan to expand the rule as she gets older.

Indeed the kids would get upset if I was home late and missed supper or one of the other kids thought band/sports practice was more important than being home for the family supper with prayers. Even today, being married, if they are invited over for supper, they always preface acceptance with "if I can stay for family prayers".
Thomas, your description of a household of prayer was beautiful. May God grant my wife and me such a legacy!

1) Standing - this is the normal posture for all Orthodox prayer, whether it be in Church or not. However, as you'll find many North American Orthodox Churches will have pews in them - more or less as something picked up from the local Christian denominations (though many would argue it wasn't a "good thing" to pick up.) If you were to go to the "old world", you'd be very hard pressed to find an Orthodox Church with pews in it.
However, don't feel bad if you feel the need to sit, especially since this is all new for you. It can take awhile getting used to standing for an entire service. It'll come on it's own.
2) "Prayer by rote" - Obviously, "ad libbed" prayer of a conversational sort has it's place - but I'd submit that even these are enriched by the use of traditional, standardized prayers, precisely because those prayers not only say something to God when placed upon our lips, but they also (more significantly) say something to us! By following even a simple prayer rule, one is being conditioned in the mentality held by those who authored those prayers. Formal prayers you'll find in prayerbooks are typically authored by Saints, who I think have something to teach us.
Something our parish Priest said which went against even my own instincts (and I definatly do not have a low-church or otherwise Protestant background - quite the opposite actually) was that when saying a prayer rule, you should fire through it. Yes, collect yourself together first - do your best to remove distractions, and be mindful about what you're reading, etc. But just go through it - kind of get bathed by what you're reading. IOW, prayer rules, and even liturgical prayers, are very much a matter of immersion and are meant to inform the soul over the long term. I had some skepticism about this, but I have to agree with the Priest that this is the way to go. It also seems to be my experience of Church matters amongst those for whom these things are not new (ex. being around for a Reader's service - the man barely stops to breath!)
In the end, prayer is for our sake - it's not a performance to impress God, or to get Him up to speed on something He isn't already aware of. He doesn't need that kind of "convincing."

My 2 yr old and I pray together when we can - I'm on shift work so it is pretty hard. He's got the Jesus prayer down pat, but it's quite funnt watching him try to cross himself. Our prayer times always end up with a giggle or two, but i'm sure god understands, and knows my little boys heart. My wife and older 2 aren't real interested in God though, but me and my boy still pray for them.

JayJay, I admire you for doing this even if wife and other children aren't. I imagine there are some stress points there.
We were doing much better at first with prayers, my dh being a young bull out of the chute type convert. It has gotten harder as time has gone on. I still at times struggle with the "regurgitated" prayers , as I called them. I feel my heart is not present in the matter. anyone can recite prayers written by some guy 1000 years ago. It still seems kind of sterile to me some moments, but it is getting better. Just making a habit of saying the Jesus prayer more often is helpful.
My three sons (hahaha) all want to learn the Lord's Prayer in Greek, English isnt' as much fun. We will probably have to wait on that, I speaka no Greek outside of the Liturgy book. It is fun to watch my 2yo kiss the icons and try to cross herself or food.

Have you ever seen or read "The Path of Prayer" by St. Theophan the Recluse? It's four short sermons on prayer (specifically on how to have a prayer rule/life of prayer), in which St. Theophan gives some excellent and very practical advice for just this difficulty.

Hello, I'm the one who started this thread last fall. Thought I'd give you an update on where we are now with family prayer.
We normally do not do a full morning prayer service, but at breakfast we read the Magnificat as our "meal prayer" and then after we eat, my wife and I take turns reading the Epistle and Gospel of the day according to the Orthodox calendar. In the evening, we go to the icon corner immediately after dinner and read the evening prayers with an Old Testament reading. Sometimes we do "vespers greatest hits" if it's a patron saint day or something else we wish to commemorate. Our priest encouraged us to build our family prayer with the entire family in mind, and this seems to be working now.
Little Maggie is one now, and since she goes to bed (or at least gets fussy) by 7 or 8pm, we have our evening prayers before she starts to fall apart.

One more thought. Regarding the rote vs. spontaeous prayer discussion, we do some spontaneous prayer within the context of the formal order of evening prayers. This normally consists of praying for our family members and friends and anyone else who has needs. I have found that the older "cradle" Orthodox Christians I know, when they pray, they tend to slip in and out of memorized prayers and their own words. I guess my thought is that when one's mind is shaped by the Church's prayers over the course of many years, one simply "prays" without worrying about it.
For myself, I keep my spontaneous prayers to a minimum because I can't come up with anything as reverent and good and true as the prayers from the prayer books.

Formed in 1999 by high-school friends Travis Nesbitt (vocals) and Logan Jacobs (bass), the Canadian alternative rock act Social Code initially operated under the name Fifth Season. The group issued Patiently Waiting in 2001 before changing to its present name, the bandmembers realizing that they shared their original moniker with a popular group overseas. After a development deal with Columbia Records fell through, the band wound up ultimately inking a deal with Interscope in late 2003. Social Code released their proper debut album, A Year at the Movies, in May 2004, and the following fall was spent on the road, where the group played shows alongside Bif Naked, Good Charlotte, and the guys from MTV's Jackass. The album went on to sell over 20,000 copies in Canada alone, though besides some attention for the song "Beautiful," the band remained largely unknown in the United States. Several lineup changes occurred over the years; after guitarist David Hesse exited the band during the mid-2000s, Chris Ruddy (formerly of Drive by Punch) joined the existing lineup of Nesbitt, Jacobs, and drummer Ben Shillabeer. Ruddy was later replaced by guitarist Morgan "Macchio" Gies, and the revised group built a studio in the basement of bassist Jacobs' house before setting to work on a follow-up album. Released solely in Canada in May 2007, the self-titled Social Code heightened the band's profile when its lead single, "Bomb Hands," received heavy video rotation from MuchMusic. Also helping things was a string of early 2008 tour dates alongside likeminded bands Hedley and Sum 41. Again, though, Social Code's U.S. presence was minor; they hoped to change things with the release of their U.S debut, the self-released EP He Said She Said, in late October 2008. ~ Corey Apar

I figure it is all part of the new database that all the telco's are going to reference for valid IMEI numbers. if the phone has been unlocked before the contract is up it will mark it as bad IMEI in the database.

Boiron - Arnicare Pain Relief Homeopathic Medicine - 60 Quick-Dissolving Tablets
Boiron Arnicare Pain Relief. Boiron's Arnica Tablets helps treat stiffness and muscle aches, as well as swelling and discoloration from bruising. With Boiron's Arnica Tablets feel better faster!
Boiron Arnicare Pain Relief Homeopathic Medicine:
Boiron Arnicare Pain Relief Homeopathic Medicine Helps With:
Frequently Asked Questions
How well-known are homeopathic medicines throughout the world? A: Today, homeopathy is used by millions of patients in more than 65 countries and is recommended by more than 400,000 healthcare providers.
Is there any scientific research on homeopathic medicines? A: An increasing number of scientific studies on homeopathy are being conducted and, in recent years, more than 150 of these studies have been published in medical journals. Clinical research is providing evidence of the efficacy of homeopathic medicines, and basic laboratory research is confirming the biological activity of highly diluted substances and helping the scientific community better understand their mechanism of action.
Can homeopathic medicines be taken in conjunction with other medications? A: Micro-dosed homeopathic medicines above 4C are safe and have no known side effects or contraindications. They can be safely taken with other conventional medicines and are sometimes recommended to complement other treatments.
Can I give homeopathic medicines to my children? A: Homeopathic medicines can be given to children without risk. As with any over-the-counter medicine, it is advisable to check with a doctor or a pharmacist before treating children younger than 2 years of age. The dosage is generally the same for adults and children since the activity of homeopathic medicines is not body-mass dependent. See package labeling for specific dosage recommendations.
How frequently can I or should I take homeopathic medicines? A: Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional or on the product label. When it comes to single medicines packaged in multi-dose tubes, general dosage instructions are 5 pellets 3 times a day. As a general rule of thumb, when self-medicating, you can increase the frequency when the symptom is sudden and acute, then decrease frequency with improvement. For example, upon twisting your ankle, you can take Arnica pellets every 10 minutes 3 to 4 times a day and then 3 times a day as needed.
Do homeopathic medicines act quickly? A: Yes. When used for acute, occasional illnesses, homeopathic medicines can take effect very quickly, especially if they are taken as soon as symptoms appear. For chronic disorders such as asthma, migraines and allergies, longer treatments are needed to see sustained relief.
What Is Homeopathy?Homeopathic medicines are used to treat many acute health conditions such as allergies, coughs, colds, flu, stress, arthritis pain, muscle pain, teething, etc.Homeopathic medicines are therapeutically active micro-doses of mineral, botanical and biological substances. They are reliable and safe drugs, therefore considered by many as an excellent first choice when self-medicating. Homeopathy has been used for more than 200 years, building a remarkable safety record and generating a great body of knowledge. Today, homeopathy is used by millions of patients in more than 65 countries and recommended by more than 400,000 healthcare providers. Since the passing of the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act in 1938, homeopathic medicines have been regulated as drugs by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).1
To be accepted as a homeopathic medicine by the FDA, product ingredients must be identified in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS) or generally accepted as homeopathic under the principles of homeopathy. All Boiron homeopathic medicines are manufactured according to the highest standards, complying with the specifications of the HPUS as well as drug Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Being regulated as a drug, as opposed to a food or dietary supplement, ensures that homeopathic medicines adhere to drug labeling specifications. Like packaging for conventional over-the-counter drugs, packaging for homeopathic medicines must state specific diseases, ailments or symptoms for which the product is to be used, the concentration of active substance or substances contained therein, the recommended dosage and the mode of application. These clear specifications make choices easier for consumers and guidance easier for retailers.
Boiron Mission"To stimulate the evolution of healthcare by promoting scientific homeopathy as a more compassionate, more ecological and more comprehensive approach to medicine and to allow every physician to know homeopathy and integrate it into their daily practice."
Boiron HistoryBoiron was founded in 1932 in Lyon, France, by twin brothers and pharmacists Jean and Henri Boiron. It is now the world leader in homeopathy.
In response to a significant interest in homeopathy in California, Boiron established a branch in Simi Valley, California, outside of Los Angeles in 1989.
Ten years after the acquisition of Borneman, Boiron invested in the construction of a new building and moved from the original Borneman site in Norwood to neighboring Newtown Square, Pennsylvania. The building continues to service as both the Boiron USA headquarters as well as the manufacturing and distribution branch for the East Coast. The facility houses a high-tech manufacturing laboratory, an innovative order fulfillment center, and spacious warehouse and automated shipping operations. After heading Boiron Canada for 7 years, namesake Thierry Boiron became Boiron USA's third president in 1995 when his predecessor returned to France as a newly appointment board member.
After much growth and the need to contract for larger warehousing on both the East and West Coast, a newly built West Coast branch was completed in June 2005. The new 20,500 square-foot building offers a high-tech manufacturing laboratory and warehouse capabilities to meet future demands. Beyond enhancing service, the new building also can accommodate 50 people in a specially designed conference room to facilitate educational efforts as Boiron is currently focused on outreach to the medical community.
After Thierry Boiron returned to France to serve as managing director of the Boiron Group, Ludovic Rassat was appointed the fourth president of the U.S. division in January 2006.
Today, Boiron USA has evolved into a leading U.S. homeopathic medicine supplier, fulfilling up to 1,000 orders per day during the busy flu season. The company partners with brokers, distributors, and retail chains to make homeopathic products available to a wide variety of consumers and physicians. Boiron's staff of 120+ consists of a medical doctor, four pharmacists and lab technicians, accounting and IT personnel, a marketing staff, a national sales force, customer service, order fulfillment and shipping professionals—many of whom have an impressively long career with the company.
Boiron CommitmentAs world leader in homeopathy, Boiron is committed to lead by example.
Boiron's Commitment to the Environment The Boiron Group has a strong sense of obligation to respect the environment. The preparation of their medicines has limited impact on the environment. The main effects derive from extracting raw materials (continuity of species gathered), water pollution (mainly organic and biodegradable) and waste. As a counterbalance, Boiron promotes re-supplying wild or organically-farmed plants when possible. This sequentially improves the quality of raw materials used. Additionally, the Boiron Group works with 120 botanist-harvesters. These specialists are well-versed in diagnosing the land and employing harvesting strategies to anticipate continuity of supplies for the future. They generally harvest plants from their natural surroundings, which are then used fresh and wild in accordance with the balance of nature and the specifications of the principal pharmacopoeia.
Boiron's Commitment to their EmployeesIt is Boiron's deep conviction that the key to the performance and the growth of the company depends on the creativity and motivation of all concerned. To promote personal and professional growth, the Boiron Group pioneered a new approach to employee relations 20 years ago—one that fosters dialogue, self-confidence, flexibility in tasks and hours and, in general, individualized work situations. In turn, the employees have a vested interest in the company's performance through the employee profit-sharing program. Additionally employees enjoy stress-reducing on-site massages, company-sponsored events to bring together family and friends, and an employee 401K program.
Boiron Awards
Vity AwardsIn 2009, for the 8th consecutive year, Boiron was awarded a Vity Award. Sponsored by Vitamin Retailer magazine, readers were polled on the top sellers and best supplier merchandising support. The choices represent ones that health food customers have voted for with their pocketbooks. Oscillococcinum was recognized as the best-selling natural medicine in the cold and flu category for the 8th consecutive year and Boiron Arnica pellets brought home first place in the Homeopathic Remedies category for the 3rd consecutive year.
Pharmacy Times Achievement AwardOscillococcinum was given a 2007 Achievement Award in the June issue of Pharmacy Times magazine. In the annual Survey of Pharmacist Recommendations of OTC Products, Oscillococcinum was named the number one pharmacist-recommended homeopathic flu medicine for three consecutive years.
Consumer Advertising CampaignIn 2005, Boiron's advertising agencies, Sage Communications & Pure Design Co. LLC, were honored with a Consumer Advertising Campaign Award. Creativity 35Annual, a global awards competition, selected entries from over 30 countries. The award was for Oscillococcinum's print ad, which appeared primarily in national women's and health magazines.

Fresh Meat
Allll-RIGHTY Then…
The post everybody's been waiting for, we're sure, so here goes.
That "anti-gay" law that got veto'ed out in Arizona when the RINO party decided to run for the hills in the face of progressive socialist mau-mauing. Again. That bill. Yes, you know which one I'm talking about. The one designed to protect business owners from being sued out of business for refusing to violate their religious beliefs. Yeah, the one that was worse than the Holocaust, according to progressive socialists and the wobble-kneed "conservatives" clutching their pearls.
We were for it, we are for it, and we continue to be for it.
And those flaming hypocrites who are against it will, we're afraid, have to keep their yaps shut when we sue a Jewish diner out of business for refusing to serve us up a delicious BLT. With extra bacon. And a side of bacon milkshake. Gotta have dairy AND meat at the same time, dontcha know? Don't be a Nazi now, rabbi Apfelstein. Make us a damn sammich, already!
Similarly, they'll have to keep mum when we sue a muslim photographer out of business for refusing to record our upcoming bestiality pr0n flick involving, of course, dogs. And pigs. And throw in a bunch of nude people covered in bacon screaming "fuck Mohamhead" every 10 seconds. He'd damn well BETTER take my money and get right on filming, because otherwise he'd be worse than the Nazis.
Of course we would never actually DO such a thing because, well, we're not a flaming fucktard. We'd either eat a yummy kosher sandwich or find a progressive socialist cameraman/womyn. No, we wouldn't. Because the progtard would insist on taking part as an extra. But we digress.
But we're sure that the gay couple, against whom we have no ill feelings other than their typical progressive socialist urge to destroy businesses and livelihoods in any way possible, but that has nothing to do with their sexuality, just didn't have any alternatives. As we all know, there is only one baker of wedding cakes in all of Arizona. Well, we know now. Or else all of the opponents of the bill are a bunch of puling prick fluffers. Or cuntmuffins. We're an equal opportunity offender. With an IQ of approximately 12.
"But, but… the DISCRIMINATION!"
Yeah. What about it? Ever heard of "freedom of association?" It's a quaint old concept that used to mean a lot to people otherwise claiming to be conservative/libertarian. But obviously not anymore. At least not where certain groups are being discriminated against. We doubt that those same "conservative/libertarians" will be flocking around our banner when we sue our local municipality for discriminating against us by refusing us permission to use the women's showers at the public pool.
No. That's not different. And if you had a shred of intellectual integrity you would even be able to admit it. Try it one day. It's quite… refreshing.
"But, but… then you could discriminate against blacks as well!"
Sure. And His Imperial Majesty would be not merely attending but hosting a victory party when your miserable racist self went out of business shortly thereafter. Not due to a lawsuit, but due to a serious and sudden lack of customers. You know, the way it used to be. Be an asshole, be treated like an asshole.
Just keep in mind this moment when they come gunning for YOU when YOU offend whatever the hottest protected group at the time's feelings.
And don't come crying to us because fuck you, Poindexter.
Point and Counterpoint
From DrewM:
I know it's popular on the right (and even among some liberals) to say that Obama's weakness, as evidenced by his failure to follow through on Syria, emboldened Putin but I don't buy it.
Recall that in 2008 Vladimir Putin undertook a similar operation in the South Ossetia region of Georgia. Was George W. Bush viewed as weak and vacillating by Putin? Had Bush appeared to the world as week and unwilling to use military force in a crisis?
If Bush's decisive, unilateral, cowboy persona didn't lead Putin to lay low, why should we assume that launching a few cruise missiles (remember "just muscular enough not to get mocked"?), would have been a decisive factor in Putin's Ukraine calculations?
No, it wouldn't. But was Bush really viewed by anybody other than the Progressive Socialist Media (and the progressive socialists who read them) as a "decisive, unilateral cowboy persona?"
Actually, even they didn't view him that way, it just made for easy talking points to prop up their jug-eared messiah and his Progressive Socialist Party, but we digress.
Remember the 18 month "rush" to war in Iraq? Remember the vacillating, indecisive back-and-forth waging of the Long War after the occupation of Iraq? Remember "you're either with us or you're with the terrorists" (until five minutes later when it turned out that he really didn't mean it at all)?
Nobody with an IQ above room temperature, NOBODY saw Bush as a strong, decisive leader by 2008. Unless they were smoking some seriously good weed.
And certainly not Putin.
That being said, the point that Odumbass doesn't completely own America's new image as a weak horse is absolutely correct. He just kicked our Respect Index down by a couple of orders of magnitude.
But it was already pretty low.

Everybody says that, but His Imperial Majesty has the last say.
