Water used for mixing infant formula must be from a safe water source, as defined by your state or local health department.
You may use bottled water or bring cold tap water to a rolling boil for 1 minute (no longer), then cool the water to room temperature for no more than 30 minutes before it is used.
Warmed water should be tested in advance to make sure it is not too hot for an infant. The easiest way to test the temperature is to shake a few drops on the inside of your wrist. Otherwise, a bottle can be prepared by adding powdered formula and room temperature water from the tap just before feeding. Bottles made in this way from powdered formula can be ready for feeding, as no additional refrigeration or warming would be required.

Si dismisses McClane as "a centrist boob." That sounds like a medical condition, the mammary equivalent of being a cyclops. Brooke chips in that McClane's heir apparent is Danny Minton, a name that piques Nikki's interest immediately. Other editors list his many attributes -- labor organizer, activist, Taurus with a penchant for diamonds -- while Nikki and Hildy exchange giggly, girly looks, because Danny is like soooo hot and wants Nikki to wear his letter jacket. Brooke explains that Minton is the former fisherman who negotiated the Fulton Fish Market price-fixing "thing" with the mob. After that little sentence, no one at the meeting is awake enough to clarify just what the "thing" was. Quoting the old story's headline, Si says, "'Cod peace.' He's a twit," although Nikki hears, "His codpiece...I'm atwitter," and fans herself with a stack of papers while looking moderately horny.
Nikki and Hildy grab a coffee together. Hildy wants to know if Nikki is going to the Bridge Café for a Danny Minton shindig, but Nikki says she's not bothering. "Why? Because he hasn't called?" Hildy asks. Nikki confesses that if she shows up, it'll look desperate, like she's chasing a guy who hasn't even picked up the phone to call her. Hildy convinces her that it's kosher for media figures to appear at press events, and that it's a good excuse to doll herself up and regale Minton with what he's missing. Wallace "Get" Benton appears and chirps that it's kismet, but Beekman screeches for an audience with him so Wallace has to leave. Nikki rolls her eyes at his back, then resolves to chase desperately the guy who hasn't picked up the phone to call her.
Wallace enters Si's spacious office, only to find his boss lying half-naked on his stomach. Startled, Benton does a double take -- could it be Tuesday already? But then a buxom blonde appears to massage Si's back, and Wallace's trouser-peril is no more. "I had a disturbing telephone call," Si says. "It seems Minton has considerable political potential." Si doesn't want a Democrat in office, and asks Wallace to find the skeletons in Minton's closet. Wallace posits that perhaps Minton is clean. "Come on, you're telling me there's a politician who doesn't have an intern with a blue dress festooned with spunk?" Si grins. He asks Benton to find the stained blue dress, and as Benton is about to shout out that Brooke was wearing it last week and that the Beekman masseuse might have it on an hour from now, Si specifies that the soiled cloth had better be hanging in Minton's closet. Which could mean it belongs to Nikki. And now, a reading from the Tao of Si: "If he was a Republican candidate, you'd all be bounding up and down with glee like a bunch of monks in a whorehouse." Amen. Wallace says Nikki will escort him to the soirée in Minton's honor, at which he'll make up his own mind about the man. Si grunts, as he's wont to do.

Motor Vehicle Solutions LIES, SCARE TACTICS, AND BROW BEATING Saint Peter's Missouri

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
My eighty-four year old mother began receiving phone calls urging her to take out car insurance before the warranty expired on her car. She finally agreed and gave into the high pressure tactics even to the point of giving out the number to a credit card for monthly fees of $395.00!
She tried cancelling the policy but was subjected to brow beating and admonishment until she submitted to retaining the policy. She finally resorted to contacting the credit card company and requesting they stop making payments to this company.
That's when I, her daughter, got involved. I contacted the company and spoke with Shane, a customer representive at Motor Vehicle Solutions and requested cancellation of the policy and a refund. He told me that according to the records the policy originated in 2011 and he seriously recommended that the policy not be cancelled. I repeated that we wished to cancel but he argued that it was not in our best interests. I informed him that my mother all ready had insurance and didn't need any more, he requested information on the date of purchase of said insurance, but in told him that it was not his business.
That's when the discussion got intense. He informed me it was his business and stated again he was looking out for my mother's best interests. I told him that kind of help was not needed or wanted, she had decide she didn't need Motor Vehicle Solutions and to please help me by cancelling the policy! He said I was rude and combative, I told him he was resistive and unhelpful. He said no refund would be available because of the age of the policy and asked to speak with my mother to confirm her wishes; he did so after I warned him not to argue with her.
After getting her confirmation, Shane spoke to me again and told me that the information about the policy being 2 years old was incorrect, the policy originated in May, 2013. Of course I knew exactly when the charges for the policy began and how much the payments were, he had previously LIED in an effort to confuse and manipulate me and my mother.
The caller is informed when they call, that their call may be recorded for quality assurance, I wish they would monitor these calls and apply a little quality to their company and correction to their representives. Alas, I have little hope of that. BUYER BEWARE, THIS IS A SCAM!

At no time would we not cancel the policy when it's requested ,we advise as to the benefits of having this coverage and what could occur without coverage, but if the customer still choses to cancel we provide the neccessary information and cancel the policy.

U.S. Rep. Robert Pittenger met with the Federal Aviation Administration for an hour Wednesday, trying to get a firm date when the federal government will decide who will run Charlotte Douglas International Airport.
He left without an answer.
I pressed the FAA, said Pittenger, a Republican who represents the 9th Congressional District, which encompasses much of Charlotte. Frankly, we all asked that in different ways at different times.
Pittenger said that Christa Fornarotto, the federal agencys associate administrator for airports, would only refer to a July 29 letter her office sent to Charlotte City Manager Ron Carlee and N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper. That letter raised questions as to who would hold the operating certificate for the airport, and it became the linchpin of a Superior Court judges decision in August that pushed the question of the airport control onto the FAA.
Pittenger said he is neutral as to whether the city or a 13-member commission operates Charlotte Douglas. He said he asked for the meeting so the issue can be resolved.
Richard Vinroot, an attorney representing the newly-created commission, said he has been trying to engage the FAA for a month. In a letter to Fornarotto sent Monday, Vinroot said the FAAs unwillingness to discuss the situation with commission is astounding and unreasonable.
The FAA is apparently only discussing the airport question with the city of Charlotte and the Attorney Generals office, which is representing the state.
In response to Vinroots letter, the agency sent the Observer a statement Tuesday stating: The Federal Aviation Administration is reviewing the September 16 letter from the Charlotte Douglas International Airport Commission.
Pittenger attended the Wednesday meeting with other members of Congress, including Republicans Mark Meadows of the 11th District, Virginia Foxx of the 5th District and George Holding of the 13th District.
The GOP-led N.C. General Assembly initially created an independent authority to own and operate Charlotte Douglas. Legislators then repealed that legislation and created a 13-member commission in August.
The commission would keep the city as the owner of the airport. The commission would be a part of the city of Charlotte, and the City Council and mayor would appoint seven of its members. It would be responsible for day-to-day airport operations and long-term plans, including hiring and firing.
The City Council and Mayor Patsy Kinsey oppose the commission.
Because the commission would be part of the city, Pittenger doesnt think the FAA needs to be involved, he said.
I never could get a clear answer from her on why they were involved, Pittenger said. (Fornarotto) started talking about other transfers. But that was apples and oranges those were transfers. I felt this was a local and state issue and should be resolved there.
Anthony Foxx, the former Charlotte mayor, is now U.S. secretary of transportation and oversees the FAA. He has said he will recuse himself from the Charlotte airport debate as well as all Charlotte-related topics for a year.
In an interview with the Observer on Tuesday, Vinroot said he is concerned that Foxxs pledge was maybe words and not actions.

Cinebench R11.5 64-bit / 3DMark 2013
Cinebench has been a personal favourite test of ours for a long time now; it uses methodology comparable to a standard rendering task. It is a great indication of performance a designer can expect when using Cinema4d as the rendering engine is the same. The 64-bit build of the application was used for this test.
Before we move on to real world CPU and GPU performance a couple of quick tests here show us some results you can compare to your own system. In terms of comparisons with our previous reviews the Blade is significantly faster than a standard Ultrabook in Cinebench (a XPS 14z scores 2.64 for Cinebench CPU) and 3DMark results are in line with GTX 660M level... unsurprisingly.

Victoria BC has a diverse range of appealing attractions and activities so it naturally draws a wide variety of visitors who stay at equally diverse bed and breakfasts. There's some thing for everyone to do and someplace for everyone to keep.
This tiny component of BC on southern Vancouver Island gives a microcosm of the province such as ocean beaches, fairly lakes, rainforest parks and mountain vistas. There are initially rate attractions also such as the Butchart Gardens, the Royal BC Museum, Craigdarroch Castle and the Inner Harbour. Guests take pleasure in enthralling activities such as whale-watching, kayaking, sailing, fishing, golf, biking and hiking - there are 48 regional, provincial and federal parks in Greater Victoria.
A moderate Mediterranean climate makes Victoria BC a year-round holiday location, with substantially much less rain than either Vancouver or Seattle. Summers are pleasantly hot and winters surprisingly mild (a flower count is held in the final week of February - there have been over three.9 billion blossoms in 2000!). The relaxed life style and secure environment have also helped to Victoria a top rated world travel location.
As effectively as the usual selection of hotels, resorts, motels, trip rentals, campgrounds and RV parks there are literally hundreds of Victoria BC bed and breakfasts. These are delightful locations to stay - you can pick from a heritage dwelling, waterfront guest residence, country manor property, lakeside lodging, sophisticated inn, nation cottage, a farm or a woodland retreat. Some are in peaceful nation settings close to the Butchart Gardens, other folks in Cordova Bay a little community just 15-20 minutes from downtown Victoria, the ferries and the airport. All contain a complete breakfast so their rates are hugely competitive.
Other region attractions close to Greater Victoria BC bed and breakfasts include things like the Horticulture Centre of The Pacific, the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory/Centre of the Universe and Saanich Commonwealth Place (a swimming and recreational centre of Olympic requirements). Elk/Beaver Lake Regional Park is trendy for swimming, rowing, windsurfing, fishing, walking and horseback riding. Nearby you can stroll on an ocean beach or hike by means of woodland and lakeside trails, tour wild marine parks, take a look at wineries and sample BC wines, or snack on nearby fruit at roadside stands.
Your B&B hosts will gladly offer insights into all these attractions and activities. Their hospitality extends beyond offering bed and breakfast needs, they can pass on travel points, restaurant recommendations and neighborhood secrets to enhance your visit. Regard this as a bonus - the possibility to acquire regional know-how while chatting at the breakfast table.

- Genetic and Neural Mechanisms that Inhibit Drosophila from Mating with Other Species
Genetic and Neural Mechanisms that Inhibit Drosophila from Mating with Other Species
Cell, Volume 154, Issue 1, 3 July 2013, Pages 89-102
Pu Fan, Devanand S. Manoli, Osama M. Ahmed, Yi Chen, Neha Agarwal, Sara Kwong, Allen G. Cai, Jeffrey Neitz, Adam Renslo, Bruce S. Baker and Nirao M. Shah
SummaryGenetically hard-wired neural mechanisms must enforce behavioral reproductive isolation because interspecies courtship is rare even in sexually naïve animals of most species. We find that the chemoreceptor Gr32a inhibits male D. melanogaster from courting diverse fruit fly species. Gr32a recognizes nonvolatile aversive cues present on these reproductively dead-end targets, and activity of Gr32a neurons is necessary and sufficient to inhibit interspecies courtship. Male-specific Fruitless (FruM), a master regulator of courtship, also inhibits interspecies courtship. Gr32a and FruM are not coexpressed, but FruM neurons contact Gr32a neurons, suggesting that these genes influence a shared neural circuit that inhibits interspecies courtship. Gr32a and FruM also suppress within-species intermale courtship, but we show that distinct mechanisms preclude sexual displays toward conspecific males and other species. Although this chemosensory pathway does not inhibit interspecies mating in D. melanogaster females, similar mechanisms appear to inhibit this behavior in many other male drosophilids.

Interspecies transmission and emergence of novel viruses: lessons from bats and birds
Trends in Microbiology, Volume 21, Issue 10, 1 October 2013, Pages 544-555
Jasper Fuk-Woo Chan, Kelvin Kai-Wang To, Herman Tse, Dong-Yan Jin and Kwok-Yung Yuen
AbstractAs exemplified by coronaviruses and influenza viruses, bats and birds are natural reservoirs for providing viral genes during evolution of new virus species and viruses for interspecies transmission. These warm-blooded vertebrates display high species biodiversity, roosting and migratory behavior, and a unique adaptive immune system, which are favorable characteristics for asymptomatic shedding, dissemination, and mixing of different viruses for the generation of novel mutant, recombinant, or reassortant RNA viruses. The increased intrusion of humans into wildlife habitats and overcrowding of different wildlife species in wet markets and farms have also facilitated the interspecies transmission between different animal species.

Comparative Epigenomic Annotation of Regulatory DNA
Cell, Volume 149, Issue 6, 8 June 2012, Pages 1381-1392
Shu Xiao, Dan Xie, Xiaoyi Cao, Pengfei Yu, Xiaoyun Xing, Chieh-Chun Chen, Meagan Musselman, Mingchao Xie, Franklin D. West, Harris A. Lewin, Ting Wang and Sheng Zhong
SummaryDespite the explosive growth of genomic data, functional annotation of regulatory sequences remains difficult. Here, we introduce "comparative epigenomics"—interspecies comparison of DNA and histone modifications—as an approach for annotation of the regulatory genome. We measured in human, mouse, and pig pluripotent stem cells the genomic distributions of cytosine methylation, H2A.Z, H3K4me1/2/3, H3K9me3, H3K27me3, H3K27ac, H3K36me3, transcribed RNAs, and P300, TAF1, OCT4, and NANOG binding. We observed that epigenomic conservation was strong in both rapidly evolving and slowly evolving DNA sequences, but not in neutrally evolving sequences. In contrast, evolutionary changes of the epigenome and the transcriptome exhibited a linear correlation. We suggest that the conserved colocalization of different epigenomic marks can be used to discover regulatory sequences. Indeed, seven pairs of epigenomic marks identified exhibited regulatory functions during differentiation of embryonic stem cells into mesendoderm cells. Thus, comparative epigenomics reveals regulatory features of the genome that cannot be discerned from sequence comparisons alone.

Food selection mechanisms, and in particular the role of secondary plant compounds, are being investigated in two locust species which respond differently to these compounds and to the plants in which they occur. Studies of feeding behaviour and of the fine structure and neurophysiology of the sense organs involved are being used to examine these interspecies differences.

iOS 5.1.1 Battery issues Fixed?
Is there no answer to this ?? My iphone 4 has been perfect for over 2 years, one charge over night has always been fine.
Since 5.1.1, I charge it over night, then at 1pm, and again in the evening.
With sending maybe 4-5 texts, it will be at 40% by midday.!!
I rang and spoke to Apple who said there are no known issues relating to the update/battery, and suggested a new handset @ £120.
I explained I have replaced the battery and its exactly the same - they werent impressed with that one.
Either way, its clearly the software as nothing else has changed. Now my phone is a pain in the backside, rather than being a joy.
Surely this can be fixed... ?

Yes, there are answers, and they are in the very thread you posted to, as well as dozens of other threads, plus the "More like this" box to the right of your message. All in all, roughly 15,000 or so posts on the subject (that is not an exaggeration). Are you asking someone to repeat again what has been posted that many times?

I did carry out the reset as discussed previously - and it improved my battery no end. That said, it is still not as good as it once was.
Clearly an issue Apple need to address - but I believe Apple dont admit to problems like these.
I hope you find a way to get your battery life back.

FYI... Re iPhone battery issues
Assume this is old news but in case you
had as much trouble finding the solution as I did......Trying to use wifi on iphone with current Netgear routers drains battery at record rate..can't get 8 hours....
Only solution that works for me is turn wifi off. Kind of defeats the purpose but seems to be the situation until Apple decides to fix it.
Ive never been a committed fanboy but do appreciate apple products.. Am getting worried that try are beginning to have problems with complexity... 5.1.1 now crashes often on ipad ( they capture it so no " blue screens" ) and even simple tasks like downloading mail seem to hang at times.. " loading" ...... "updating" ..... Indefinitely.--having The old Microsoft ". Reboot to send" problem.
Hope they get these issues resolved so once again can count on reliability from their products else why pay the premium prices?

None of the so called 'easy' fixes work. I love my iPad 2, but since 5.1,and more so since 5.1.1, the battery drain is AWEFUL. I'm currently typing this with brightness at 40%, location services off, bluetooth off, push off etc ...
Which by the way, is a joke when you think about it, having to disable features you bought the thing for, oh and before the hardcore linkers start linking me to useless threads, I have done the ( insanely long winded) drain, recharge, reset, restotore from backup, restore as new, every which way you can and I'm currently losing power at 10% every 40 minutes.... Browsing the web. That gives me a whopping 6 hours or so usage...

What a joke when you have to turn off every feature that makes it what it is.
Turn off Bluetooth, turn off SIRI, turn off Location Services, turn off Push email, turn off Notifications, turn your screen brightness down so you can barely see it, turn off WIFI when not using, etc.
All you have then is a phone. Unless you choose to turn the phone off too when you're not expecting a call.

I leave every feature ON and I have acceptable battery life, using 5.1.1. But if you truly believe it is not a rogue app and don't look for the problem you will never have acceptable battery life. This problem has occurred on some phones with every version of iOS since 2.1. See, for example, the links below. And in every one of those threads a lot of people were convinced that the problem was they version they had just installed, just like you believe it is unique to 5.1.1. Are they all wrong? Or are you?
More recent versions:
Then there's the historical issue:
Battery Meter/Life Problems with 4.0.2
4.0.2 guzzling my battery. Your's too?
Battery runs out very quicky in iOS 4.0.1
Battery nearly nonexistant after 4.0 upgrade

I would say they are indeed wrong.!
I am not an Apple Fanboy, but I do like their phones and tablets.
However, it is rediculous that a company of this size deny all knowledge of the battery drain.
My phone worked fine, and I applied NO CHANGES except upgrading the iOS. Then the drain started.
I did perform the weird and wonderful drain down, reset, charge - and it has improved, however not back to how it was before.
I have even removed App's, photos, etc etc to try and reduce memory used.
I refuse to turn off 3G, wifi, etc - what on earth is the point in this ?? I would've purchased an iPod if I didnt want these features.!!!!
My iPad has "asked" for the new iOS for some time now, but I refuse to upgrade it in fear it too will lose its battery life - as per my iphone.
As per *spacetoilet* comments.
To be truthful, no one seems to be right or wrong.
The fact is, this problem is a real one, and it strikes me that its happened to many since the upgrade.
Apple need to stop telling porkies and try to help people with these problems.
Next you will be saying the signal is as good on an iPhone as it is another handset - yet we all know thats not true.

Attacks on a Protective Canopy

This is a photo essay linked to a New York Times story about climate-related stressors on forests -- including mountain pine beetles, forest fires, forest clearance, and ice storms -- and the importance of protecting forests as an important carbon sink.

Climate Literacy
About Teaching Climate Literacy
The abundance of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is controlled by biogeochemical cycles that continually move these components between their ocean, land, life, and atmosphere reservoirs. The abundance of carbon in the atmosphere is reduced through seafloor accumulation of marine sediments and accumulation of plant biomass and is increased through deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels as well as through other processes.
Other materials addressing 2d
Individual organisms survive within specific ranges of temperature, precipitation, humidity, and sunlight. Organisms exposed to climate conditions outside their normal range must adapt or migrate, or they will perish.
Other materials addressing 3a
Changes in climate conditions can affect the health and function of ecosystems and the survival of entire species. The distribution patterns of fossils show evidence of gradual as well as abrupt extinctions related to climate change in the past.
Other materials addressing 3c
Life—including microbes, plants, and animals and humans—is a major driver of the global carbon cycle and can influence global climate by modifying the chemical makeup of the atmosphere. The geologic record shows that life has significantly altered the atmosphere during Earth's history.
Other materials addressing 3e
Ecosystems on land and in the ocean have been and will continue to be disturbed by climate change. Animals, plants, bacteria, and viruses will migrate to new areas with favorable climate conditions. Infectious diseases and certain species will be able to invade areas that they did not previously inhabit.
Other materials addressing 7e
Benchmarks for Science Literacy
Learn more about the Benchmarks
Plants on land and under water alter the earth's atmosphere by removing carbon dioxide from it, using the carbon to make sugars and releasing oxygen. This process is responsible for the oxygen content of the air.
Changes in environmental conditions can affect the survival of individual organisms and entire species.

I ordered a replacement tyre with some trepidation having never used this kind of site before, but have been so happy! Later that same day, I had a second flat tyre - and went back to order a second tyre. When the fitting date could not match the date I had already booked, a quick phone call to Tyre Shopper and both tyres were fitted this morning, by lovely, efficient, friendly staff at National Tyres in Winchester. Brilliant service! Many thanks :D
My beautiful dog has multiple problems associated with her elbow replacement as a puppy. She is now 12, and was costing me nearly £200 a month in medication (including routine boosters), and prescription diet. I found pet meds, and I have saved about £80 a month. And now I can afford to support her medically and have a 12 year old puppy again who loves to play and bounce about every day, looking sleek, shiny and waggy.

2. Introduction/Greeting:
Hey! What's up fam? My name is Ricardo Butler aka ReAsOn DiSciPLe!
Thank you for tuning into the Ricardo Equips Artistic Leaders Podcast where I help equip artistic lyricists like yourself to be Five Fold Davidical Hip-Hop Leaders to impact and influence the hip-hop ministry, industry, and culture!
I believe that God is calling YOU to be a leader. What kind of leader? Perhaps the five He's already listed in His Word. Such as …
1.A music business entrepreneurial apostle like King David,
2.A creative voice and poetic authority as a prophet like Jeduthun/Ethan,
3.A music teacher and instructor like Chenaniah,
4.An artist manager type of pastor like Heman,
5.Or maybe a music marketer or promoting evangelist like Asaph to function in the hip-hop ministry, industry, and culture.
That's why I am here. I'm looking to build a network of hip-hop leaders who want to make the necessary change and difference that God wants so that He might be glorified to you, in you, through you, and as you to others in your holy hip-hop ministry or business.

Philanthropists Offer Prize for Bone Marrow Donation, Get Threat of Prison Sentence for Their Trouble
These days, donating bone marrow isn't so bad. In most cases, you no longer have to go under anesthesia and no one sticks a giant needle in your hip bone anymore. Instead, drugs to cause your body to overproduce the useful stem cells, which are shed into the bloodstream and easily extracted from blood drawn through a (relatively) non-scary needle in the arm, just like a normal blood donation.
Which makes it all the more ridiculous, former Reason Editor in Chief Virginia Postel writes in a moving Bloomberg column, that offering money for a match is still illegal.
When Amit Gupta told his friends a few weeks ago that he had acute leukemia and needed a bone-marrow transplant, the word spread quickly.
Two friends offered $10,000 each to find a donor.
With $20,000 at stake, the cause did indeed take on new urgency. Instead of just passing on news that Gupta needed help, people started bragging #IswabbedforAmit on Twitter. The money also made for a sexier news story. The website TechCrunch drove new waves of interest with an article headlined, "#IswabbedforAmit Offers Up 20K To Find A Bone Marrow Donor For Startup Founder Amit Gupta."
There was only one problem. The offer was illegal.
Amit's money men revised their offer, proffering money for the first match, whether or not there is a donation. That keeps them within the letter of the law, out from under the threat of a fine and five years in prison, and keeps the swabs coming.
But that law may be on the way out:
In February, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments in a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the ban on valuable consideration for bone-marrow donations. The suit was brought by the Institute for Justice, a libertarian public-interest law firm, on behalf of plaintiffs who include patients, parents of sick children, a doctor who does bone- marrow transplants and a charity that would like to offer incentives, such as scholarships, to encourage more donations.
The lawsuit argues that since marrow cell transplants aren't significantly different from blood transfusions, the federal government has no "rational basis" for outlawing the kind of compensation that is perfectly legal not only for blood but also for other regenerating tissues, such as hair and sperm, not to mention eggs, which don't regenerate. This disparate treatment of essentially similar processes, it maintains, violates the Constitution's guarantee of equal protection. A decision could come down any day.

'Overproducing stem cells' sounds kind of dangerous.
What if you could take that drug and become some kind of super hero? Or it makes you crazy like Christopher Reeve in the stem cell episode of South Park.
Any crazy joe quotes about the IJ wrt bone marrow donations?
Don't get suckered by the IJ. They seize on cute, fuzzy marrow donation poster boys in order to push radical changes to the law in the service of stem cell deregulation.
"Simply put, the government is not allowed to require people to get a license in order to produce blood marrow."
Simply put, this outfit is committed to eliminating the distinction between commercial marrow and individual marrow.
Until now, I had assumed someone was tracking down real joe quotes for those comments.
That's a real joe comment with marrow substituted for speech. Everything else is 100% joebag.
Fucking surreal. Trying to help people is automatically evil if there's a profit involved.

"I would be able to travel...I want to go to Indianapolis"
This is idiotic. If we own our bodies (ha!) then we should be able to sell the fruits of our labor, and the actual body we use to produce the fruits of our labor. It's completely in line with legalizing a few other activities, but this is an even easier argument because it's actually helpful.
The counter-argument, I believe goes something like this: if people can pay for donations, there will be a lot of cases where people are abducted and their organs stolen, or something like that, or they could be otherwise "compelled" to donate. Or poor people would harm themselves by donating organs for money. That last part ignores free-will, responsibility, and self-ownership though. Am I missing anything?
I thought the argument they were using was that the poor 99% would die in the streets while rich white capitalists hoarded all those delicious organs to have with their fava beans. Now you are "supposed" to wait in line depending on need, unless you just happen to be a rich ex baseball player.
The healthy poor could make some scratch selling organs, and then turn around and buy organs for their sick poor friends!
I know like the way healthy universal donors; fertile, tall, rich, high IQ males; fertile, egg abundant young women; are abducted for their precious blood/sperm/eggs, or die drained of their blood/sperm/eggs trying to get more of that sweet sweet cash.
Let's create a black market, it solves everything!
Commerce Clause, bitches!
We can't have people selling their bits and affecting the interstate trade of human bits, all willy-nilly.
Which makes it all the more ridiculous, former Reason Editor in Chief Virginia Postel writes in a moving Bloomberg column, that offering money for a match is still illegal.
It's not about regulating the market, silly-willy! It has always been about controlling YOU! -
Wait, you can get paid for donating blood? The Red Cross has been scamming me for years!
Seriously! Also, I need to look into donating sperm for money. Talk about turning a hobby into a job. Do they pay extra if you're a genius?
They do. But don't admit to ever having smoked pot in your life. They hate that.
Let's hope not
http://rctlfy.wordpress.com/20.....-geniuses/ -
I have been on the bone marrow donor list for about 12 years. I would be delighted if I was asked to actually make a donation and proud to do so.
Although I would do it without compensation, I am absolutely OK with people asking money for donating - especially if it gets more people on the donor list.
I wish folks could read.
The equal protection clause applies ONLY TO THE STATES and NOT TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. Read the 14th.
Stupid people.

Roxanne Olsen - a Making Memories Facebook fan - created this beautiful Christmas Canvas wall decoration. December is only about one week away, so it is a good time to start thinking about your holiday decorations.
Using the eyelets that are used in framing, I was able to
screw them into the canvas frame by hand. I measured where I wanted them to go,
and then marked each canvas to be identical. It helped so that they hang
straight. I also added a jump ring to each of them. At the very end I connected
all 3 canvases with a double sided clear glass link (you can find this in the
jewelry section at a craft store).
I typed out a Christmas poem using Adobe PSE7, then printed
it out on kraft cardstock. The bottom of each piece was cut with an edge punch.
Each canvas was decorated uniquely. One technique I used
several times was to cut the patterned paper and some kraft paper the same
size, sewed the edges on my sewing machine and then distressed the edges with Making Memories'
Edge Distresser and ink. The second layer of cardstock added depth as well.

The main purpose of my travel was to visit my boyfriend (now my fiancé) who is situated near Yokosuka. That's why when I applied for Japan Tourist Visa, the entire process of application really gave me heebie-jeebies because I was worried that I might not get to see him hehe.
Application and submission of documents
You cannot directly apply at the Embassy of Japan in the Philippines; instead, you must apply through agencies accredited by the Embassy. Visit this link to view list of accredited agencies for Japan Visa Application.
I personally do not recommend Reli Tours Travel Agency at their SM Megamall Branch, where I first applied – the staffs are really unfriendly and horrible. I have heard good reviews with Rajah Travels, Friendship Tours, and Pan Pacific Travel though.
Understanding Japan Tourist Visa
There are several types of Japan Tourist Visa: 1) Visa for Visiting Relatives; 2) Visa for Tourism or Visiting distant relatives; and 3) Visa for Relatives/Friends Invited by US Military Personnel (SOFA Status).
In my case, I applied for #3 because my boyfriend is a US Military. Preparing documents for this type of visa is almost the same as preparing for a regular Tourist Visa; the difference is that, the inviting person (Military personnel) will serve as your guarantor.
General Requirements for a Japan Tourist Visa
All documents must be original unless otherwise stated.
- Philippine Passport
- Visa Application Form
- Photo (4.5cm x 4.5cm, white background)
- Birth Certificate
- Marriage Contract (if the applicant is married) [4 and 5 must be from NSO Main Office/Serbilis Outlet Center (Nationwide) issued within one (1) year. In case of non-record, you must submit certificate of non-record together with the one from Local Civil Registrar]
- Daily Schedule in Japan
- Documents or photos etc. to prove relationship
- Bank Certificate
- Income Tax Return (Form 2316) original and photocopy
- Invitation Letter – Download
- Guarantee Letter (Must have handwritten signature) – Download
- Most Recent Income Tax Return Copy (Form 1040 and Form W-2)
- Residence Certificate (if Guarantor is a Japanese) or Foreign Registration Certificate from City Hall (if Guarantor is not a Japanese)
- Statement of Service (With e-mail address of attestant if possible)
- Invitation Letter from Guarantor in Japan (Must have hand written signature)
If Guarantor in Japan Shoulder Any Part of Travel / Living Expenses
Additional Requirements if also getting a Visa for Relatives/Friends Invited by US Military Personnel
For better understanding of what requirements to submit:
- 1 – 9 Tourist Visa without guarantor
- 1 – 13 Tourist Visa with guarantor
- 1 – 15 Tourist Visa invited by US Military Personnel
Closely looking at it, I have submitted all the requirements except for nos. 9 and 13. I do not have my ITR yet that time as I've only been with my company for less than a year, as an alternative, I just submitted my guarantor's ITR.
You can also read this post to increase your chances of getting that Japan VISA approved.

I just ordered 1 for my 30GB iPod, and have received a UPS tracking number already. The case looks nice, and the price seems great for a leather case. I think the world does need something like this, because 90% of iPod owners simply aren't going to want to spend an additional $50-60 for a case no matter how nice it is. At the same time, I hesitate at buying something ugly for such a beatiful device (I have a black 30GB.)
I think it's unnecessary to ding points from a case for not providing complete protection, such as scroll wheel and screen (if it factors into your actual letter grade.) Not everyone wants a case that covers these elements, so the case should be rated on its own accord (especially since film protectors are provided.)
Top protection is always a tough issue, as a simple slide-in design will almost automatically necessitate an open top (for a hard case.) You might be able to have some sort of hinge, but not at this price. It would be great if you could show a photo of the top, as I think the edges do provide some protection, right? (not sure.)
That being said, I really appreciate the level of detail in the reviews, such as details on leather quality, fit and finish, etc. I now know not to expect something that is 100% perfect, which for me is fine given the price.
Posted by madmaxmedia in Los Angeles, CA on January 4, 2006 at 1:46 PM (PST)
I got a red case for my 60GB 5th gen, I like it a lot. Oh sure, I got it for free, but that's besides the point. I think the review is a little harsh, it's worth at least a solid B, if not a B+. Or to put it this way, despite getting it free, I like it enough that I might buy one in my prefered color of white.
Posted by Bitgod on January 4, 2006 at 4:48 PM (PST)
yes bitgod, the review is very harsh...loks like he has some links to Vaja, otherwise why is the interview so biased...i have used both the cases (vaja & case-ari)and feel for the quality, price and quick delivery it should be rated better than vaja....
Posted by all that hooha about vaja on January 22, 2006 at 12:19 AM (PST)
Chiming in almost a year after this review...
After living with a Case-Mate on both my 5 and 5.5G iPods for just about that same period of time and comparing it to my "darling" (loosely applied) sister's iVod for her iPod, there's no QUESTION in my mind that this case is perfectly suited for the leather portion of the iPod case market.
With an iVod you get flexibility in the ample color choices that are available. But that and the spiffy interior lining (which you don't see in use anyways), there's a hefty price to be paid for that relative luxury. The surfaced-applied protective laminate that Case-Mate supplies for protection at the front openings does work quite well, though frankly the portion that goes over the click wheel is rather unappealing-looking in how it lays down on my black 80GB 5.5G (it's vitually undetectable on my 60GB white 5.G).
At $30 the Case-Mate is, to me, a solid best buy. At this price I don't mind at all sticking on Velcro strips to its back whenever I use (and adhere) a headphone amp (typically these days it's mSeed's brilliant Faith Amp, but I still use various Altoids or similarly-tinned CMOYs as well, sourced from various eBay sellers and my own scratch-built). The Case-Mate makes combining iPod and amp easy without having to stick any of the Velcro to the DAP itself.
Is the review overly harsh? I think so, but then it's hard to ignore that the Case-Mate product is derivative and frankly not all that innovative given the existence of Vaja's earlier product. But the Case-Mate also offers real value as well as faster delivery (assuming you didn't find the style that you were looking for at a local Target store), something that Vaja products--despite their great build quality, marginally better materials and attractive looks--are hard-pressed to provide (my take: instead of berating Case-Mate for their use of slightly chintzier materials, one should EXPECT AT LEAST the better goods that Vaja provides given the much higher prices they charge).
For less than half the price you get at least 90% of the iVod; how is that sort of value worthy of a B- grade? Guess it pays to be the first one to market with a concept, despite the heftier price tag.
Posted by flatline response on December 30, 2006 at 2:16 AM (PST)
iLounge is on record as supporting iPod accessory innovation, and having serious issues with outright clones of products. That said, we featured these items on the site to provide readers with information they could use to make their own decisions; as noted above, there are reasons we wouldn't broadly recommend them.
While you ultimately have the choice of whether to buy a knock-off of any product - an iPod, a Gucci handbag, or an accessory - and it's obviously less expensive to do so, we advise readers to at least consider the implications of funding those whose profits are earned through brazen theft of others' designs. Though the Case-Mates (and makers of Cucci handbags, iDods and the like) of the world arguably could have a positive role to play in bringing the prices of luxury goods down, price should not be the only consideration when making a purchase.
Posted by Jeremy Horwitz in East Amherst, NY, USA on December 30, 2006 at 8:39 AM (PST)
Okay..I came to this review to decide whether or not to buy the case-mate laptop suit (not the ipod case) and saw this little debate going on. Now I definetly think this review is way to harsh. Jeremy states that ilounge has "serious issues with outright clones of products", but what iPod case is not a serious clone? Every company has their silicon cases just like the other one. There are very few original cases out there, and just because one company is not the first to do it does not mean it is an inferior product. Case-mate brings the leather case to the market that is similar to vajas, but is affordable. I have owned both a vaja ipod case and case-mate ipod case. Vaja cases are about a hundred dollars. Case-mates are 30. Call it a knock off but they are both made from nice authentic leather. Case-mate's are a plastic shell, Vajas are a cardboard shell. Case-mate found a way to do it cheaper and just as nice, and if you ask me I'd rather have the plastic shell that lasts much longer. If anyone out there is seriously debating vaja vs case-mate...save your money..get the case-mate.

Her debut novel, Yours is Mine, was published by Carina UK (a digital imprint of Harlequin) in 2013. Aside from writing, she is a lawyer and a trustee of a theatre festival. You can follow her @London_writer.
So you know how, before you submit your writing, it is the best piece of prose ever produced and, frankly, dreams of the Booker prize (if not the Nobel one) are sure to become a reality?
And you also know how the moment you've sent it, or see it in print, you can't bear to look at it, and the sight of all those adverbs physically revolt you? How even if you screw up your face, hold the paper as far a way from you as possible, and read it out of the corner of one eye, it still makes you feel sick?
I think you do.
Now imagine you not only have to read this work without thus mutating your face, you have to read it out loud. To other people. Who have the power to sell your work.
Been sick yet? In a cold sweat? I don't blame you.
But this is the rite of passage that most writers now have to go through at some point to market their work. Birkbeck Creative Writing students compete to read at Hubbub sessions, and for fellow Faber Academy alumni, the showcase reading is one of the highlights of the course.
And sickening as it might seem at first, this reading of your own work aloud is A Good Thing. Here's why:
Plus, if you're in a philosophical frame of mind, you can ruminate on what the process shows you about authorial voice, the intrusion of the narrator in their text, whose point of view you are actually now reading from. A glass of wine helps with this.
Or you can just derive entertainment from watching yourself practise reading in the mirror and making up actions and dances to go with the reading. A glass of wine may also help with this. But this may not help with your performance.
So if you are faced with reading out your work, and either are suffering rampant abdominal butterflies, or just want to get the most out of it, relax, remember the above and make the most of it.
If you're still worried, try this:
As for me, I really ought to read this back to myself aloud to see if it's ready for submission. But I'm not sure I can bear to…
Where's that glass of wine?
Check out Vanguard Readings, Bookslam and Hubbub. Amy will be reading at Vanguard in October.
