And thus a trend was born.
All weekend there have been pants under shorts. Yesterday's outfit had a flowered tank, a purple skirt and green capris. Then the tank left and she put on a shirt she had painted in school. Then she spilled applesauce and spent the afternoon shirtless, but wearing two bottoms to compensate.
This was her at the bagel store this morning:
September 6, 2008
Portrait submission for The Sartorialist: Junior League.
Notice the green butterfly shirt with the purple butterfly shorts, the purple leggings and the socks of a whole different green, tucked into blue Crocs, even though she owns three pairs of purple Crocs, any of which might have made a little more sense. (And don't forget the purple fingernails.) This girl has a definite sense of style.
E's been really having some trouble with the overlapping issues of listening/asserting independence/listening/generally being 2/potty training/asserting independence/listening. Or maybe I should change at least of of those listenings to complying. Partly we haven't been all two serious about following through with threats of punishment, partly we've been too quick for too long about diffusing her so that her screams don't awake or upset her baby sister, but basically we've decided two things: 1) we've had enough of E's shtuff, and 2) L's almost 9 months old and hey, the world's a tough place, she's just going to have to hear her disappointed sister do a little screaming sometimes.
It got bad today before nap time, as it often does. E knows if she doesn't listen she doesn't get a book read to her before going to sleep. We started the nap time preparations by having her sit on the potty. She heard her pee-pees coming, and put them in the potty, and started talking about which colors of M&MS she would eat. (Here's the official potty training system in our house: 1 M&M for sitting on the potty and trying to put something in, 2 M&Ms for pee-pees, and 4 for poops. And if you're reading and have no children, I'll understand if you just skip this post or never come back again. Sorry, and nice knowing you. This is my life.) But then the child wouldn't put her pull-up back on, and left the bathroom without washing her hands. So we gave her a shot: we cautioned her that if she didn't return immediately to the bathroom and do those two things, there would be no M&Ms. And, for kicks, I also reminded her that if she didn't do good listening, there would be no book before nap.
This is the House of Mean.
This is what happened next: No M&Ms. M put her pull-up on her when she wouldn't do it herself. General not listening. Reminder of no-book-at-nap threat. She pulled a cord out of an outlet while looking me in the eye as I told her not to touch it. Promise of no book at nap. Much screaming. Carried upstairs. Divide and conquer: I nursed L in her room while M to E to her room to calm her down. L almost ready for nap. M checks if it's okay for E to come in to apologize. E says sorry, but won't say what she's sorry for, nor will she look me in the eye, as she is instructed to do when apologizing. M reminds E to utter a complete apology. She runs out of the room. Calm slowly restored. Everybody in L's room. E poops in her pull-up. I say let's go change you. She shouted no and ran away. Reminder of rules: it's okay if poops go in a pull-up instead of a potty, but it's not okay to run away from changing, because poops need to be changed right away, because big girls learning how to use the potty are not allowed to walk around with poopy tushies like little girls do. Girls who don't go willingly to be changed and girls who don't listen might get put in diapers, because girls who act like little girls instead of big girls will get treated like little girls, and little girls wear diapers, not pull-ups. More screaming and running away. Diaper installed on tushie, not pull-up. Much much much much much screaming. Hallway floor absorbs much unwarranted punching and kicking abuse. M tries fruitlessly to keep L in near-sleep condition as I watch E have the chutzpah to grab a book off the shelf and start reading it. Reminder that girls who don't listen don't get books before nap; book confiscated to high shelf. If you're a sympathetic sort, feel sorry for the hallway floor now. And for L, who really would otherwise be napping by now. And for my eardrums, and even for E, who really is a good girl who just can't always control her emotions very well, especially when tired.
I want to help her learn how to manage her emotions because I know they lead her instead of the other way around. I know the feeling of knowing which action would end a bad situation and just not being able to direct oneself toward that action, that unyielding, stubborn, angry feeling of just wanting to continue carrying on and just being upset instead of agreeing to act rationally. It's like stopping the tantrum admits there was a tantrum. It admits one's behavior was imperfect. But carrying on: as long as you continue to draw out the tantrum you don't get to the end point that admits you were tantrumming in the first place. As long as you keep the tornado swirling, you're so caught up in the adrenaline of the tornado that you don't have to sit down and face its damages.
Eventually we got it together and she wiped the tears from her eyes and looked at me: I want to get into my bed. I asked her if I could hand her her milk. I asked her if I could snuggle her. She was hesitant. She quietly told me she needed to get out of bed. I shot her quite a look and she immediately protested even before I spoke: but I NEED to! I asked her what she needed; I told her I would get it. I need pants! And unders! My legs are cold! She had never put anything back on top of her pull-up after we had replaced the diaper. I handed her unders and pants and she dressed her lower half and grabbed her milk cup to drink.
The world was decelerating down to its normal rotational speed; I could feel it in the house as across the entire upstairs settled that pleasant quiet of outdoor noises seeping in. A few birds and a distant lawnmower and the sound of my calming daughter slurping her milk from her purple cup were all I heard, and my blood began flowing slower to pace the earth's rotations. Then: the slurping stopped and my heart did a double-pump to prepare for whatever stalling antics were about to come next.
Mama? Mommy, I need shorts for on top of my pants. My pants don't have shorts on them. I crawled out of her bed one more time (not such an easy feat with the two rails along both the open side and exposed bottom end of her bed) and pulled out another pair of purple pajama shorts. I tossed them to her and as she added her top layer she smiled at me for the first time in an hour. I crawled back into her bed to snuggle her and she was asleep in less than a minute.

Saunders hopes for home cooking against Rangers
Seattle lefty better at Safeco; Texas righty has faced Mariners twice
Safeco Field will be a welcome sight for the Mariners -- and left-hander Joe Saunders -- when they return home Friday to host the division-leading Rangers for a three-game set.
Saunders will take the hill in the series opener, as Seattle kicks off its brief five-game homestand fresh off a disappointing nine-game road trip. The Mariners lost their sixth straight game on Wednesday against the Angels, 7-1, to fall to 2-7 on the road swing. Seattle has been outscored 46-16 during its longest losing skid of the season.
Saunders has epitomized Seattle's road woes this season, going 0-4 with an 11.25 ERA in five outings away from Safeco. Yet at home, the southpaw has been lights-out to the tune of a 3-0 record and microscopic 0.94 ERA in four starts.
"It's just a fluky thing," Saunders said. "I was hoping to squash all the nonsense about the home and road stuff, so it's just a matter of staying positive and making pitches. That's all you can do. Whatever happens is going to happen."
While Saunders looks to continue his home success, the Rangers will counter with 24-year-old rookie Justin Grimm.
Grimm is no stranger to the Mariners, having faced Seattle in each of his first two starts this season. The righty limited the Mariners to two runs over four innings in his season debut on April 11, then again allowed two runs (one earned) over six frames in an April 21 win.
"I don't think that's good or bad," Grimm said. "It means they've seen me twice and I've seen them a couple of times. At the end of the day, it's about attacking hitters, being aggressive and executing pitches."
That is exactly what Grimm did on Saturday against the Tigers, working 6 2/3 strong innings while snapping a three-start losing streak. Grimm yielded just two runs, and improved to 3-3 on the season.
"Coming off a good start, I'm just looking to get a win and keep this team rolling," Grimm said.
Rangers: Baker eager to see a lefty
With the Rangers finally facing a left-handed starter after 10 straight games against righties, utility man Jeff Baker is expected to be in the starting lineup for a second straight game.
Baker, on Wednesday, made his first start since May 11, and went 1-for-3, as manager Ron Washington used him to give Mitch Moreland a break at first base. It marked Baker's first start against a right-hander this season after each of his first 13 came against southpaws.
"That's part of baseball and the way it works sometimes," Baker said of the recent southpaw drought. "Sometimes it rains lefties and sometimes it doesn't. You do your preparation and hope it translates over, but nothing can replicate live pitching. That's why we have Spring Training and play all the games we play. Seeing live pitching makes a difference."
Baker is hitting .344 (11-for-32) with four home runs and six RBIs against lefties compared to .286 (4-for-14) with no homers and one RBI against righties.
Mariners: Saunders struggling offensively
Michael Saunders went 1-for-4 on Wednesday to complete a road trip in which the outfielder hit just .139 (5-for-36). Saunders entered the road swing hitting .286 but has seen his average fall to .236.
Manager Eric Wedge dropped Saunders from the leadoff spot into the No. 2 hole for Wednesday's game, and believes the outfielder has been trying to do too much at the plate recently.
"I think he's expanded the zone a little from time to time," Wedge said. "When he stays within his zone, he does damage. I think he's just expanded his zone, trying to do a little too much. We're at our best when these guys are willing and able to set the bat down and take a walk and let the next guy get a shot at it. When they try to do too much or get a little greedy up there, that's when you get in trouble."
Worth noting
• Joe Saunders is 3-8 with a 6.30 ERA in 13 career starts against the Rangers. His ERA is the fourth highest by any active pitcher with at least 10 starts against Texas.
• The Rangers are 22-5 this season when allowing three or fewer runs.

"You sold silver too soon," grumbled a client. "Look, it's almost $50 an ounce." That was just one of the conversations I had with disgruntled investors only one week ago. There is no question I felt bad since I had advised readers to sell at least half their silver investments between $36 to $37 an ounce a few weeks ago. Beginning Monday, silver began to drop as the CME hiked margin requirements. By Friday, silver had dropped over 25 percent to as low as $33.05 and ounce. Parabolic moves such as the kind we have had in silver, and to a lesser extent gold, always revert to the mean. I learned that lesson many times over 30 years of investing in commodities. My strategy is to pick a price level and stick with it, regardless of whether the commodity overshoots my target. Oil was another commodity where I suggested investors take profits at $100 a barrel. It has subsequently climbed higher, overshooting my target by almost $14 a barrel before it, too, plummeted this week to $99 a barrel. I remain a seller until oil breaks $85 barrel on the downside. Of course, now that precious metals are in free fall, the knee-jerk reaction from the uninitiated is "at what price do we get back in?" The easy answer is: whenever investors stop asking that question. When the talking heads and strategists throw in the towel, when precious metals commercials disappear from the airwaves and nobody wants to be bothered with silver, only then will I be willing to reenter the precious metals. Unfortunately, the sharp correction in silver as well as a bounce in the dollar has impacted the equity markets overall. That is unfortunate and yet for those with steady nerves and grim resolve it is an opportunity. Most commodities have dropped along with gold and silver. That is understandable given that the majority of traders had purchased commodities on margin (borrowed money). When prices decline substantially (as they have this week) margin calls escalate and notices from lenders flow out through Wall Street like floodwaters through the Mississippi Delta. Margin lenders demand more collateral to maintain their loans to these silver speculators and they want this money immediately. Speculators, caught with owing huge sums of margin money, did what they always do — sell other investments, usually their winners, to meet the margin call. Oil, gas, base metals, soft commodities — whatever they can sell — which increases the selling pressure on everything and the ripple effect soon reaches high flying stocks and finally equities in general. Welcome to today's markets. For those of us with cooler heads and steadier nerves, treat this sell off as simply another gift horse in the making. And I'm not about to examine its mouth. I would be buying instead. You see, lower energy as well as other commodity prices are good for the global economy. At some point investors will wake up to that fact. In the meantime, expect more volatility. "How low can we go?" asked several clients ranging from a doctor in Salisbury, Conn., to a retired engineer in Williamstown. We're almost there, in my opinion. Let's call the low somewhere between 1,305 and 1,325 on the S&P 500 Index (and I may be too negative in my guess). If we dropped as low as 1,300, it would still only be a 5 percent correction from the top. Our last decline was about 7 percent. Since then we have powered as high as 1,370 on the S&P (the intraday high reached on May 2). Remember, you should expect at least three pullbacks a year in the stock market of up to 5 percent. This is simply one of them and the cost of doing business in the stock market.

Patience is a virtue that many investors find difficult to master, present company included. However, this time it appears to have paid off. The tight trading range that held the market captive over the last few weeks has finally been broken. Unfortunately it was to the downside. This week, especially Thursday, a major sell-off occurred across all asset classes — equities, gold, silver, crude — with economically sensitive stocks leading the decline. It is a key indicator, for me and suggests that the flush-out, selling climax or whatever you want to call it is beginning. The ostensible reasons for this rout were numerous: a sudden and surprising trade deficit in, of all places, China, a downgrading of Spanish debt by another credit agency, a jump in U.S. jobless claims and of course, some further bad news from the Middle East. This time the concern is riots in the eastern part of Saudi Arabia. On Friday, all these troubles took a back seat to a devastating earthquake/tsunami that struck Japan spawning another tsunami that raced across the Pacific toward Hawaii and the West Coast of the U.S. mainland. Suffice it to say that the markets remain volatile. I'm hoping for a conclusion sometime this coming week and if not, we will all need to practice the "P" word. Investors were jumping into U.S. Treasuries and the U.S. dollar in a bid for safety. At the same time, Bill Gross, the head of Pimco, the largest bond house in the world, said he has sold all but the very shortest of his Treasury bond holdings in his largest fund. In explaining the sale, he said: "When a trillion and a half dollars worth of annualized purchasing power disappears," Gross said, referring to the end of the Fed's QE 2 operations, "I simply question as to who will buy them and at what yield." When Bill speaks, the bond world listens and so should you. However, this is not the time to panic. Although it may well feel like an irresponsible action to take, I say gird your loins, start purchasing equities and if you are still in Treasuries (after my numerous pleas to sell), this is an opportune time to unload. "How deep of a pullback are you looking for?" asked a reader from Great Barrington on Friday. Well let's look at the technicals. The S&P 500 Index has a lot of support around 1,265-1,270, failing that, the next level would be 1,225. So from around1, 300, we are talking about no more than a 5 percent correction. As I have often said, equity investors should expect corrections of up to 10 percent at regular intervals in the stock market. It is simply the cost of doing business and if you can't take that kind of volatility you don't belong in the stock markets, period. Silver, on the other hand, has hit my price target of $36-$37 an ounce. Since I'm fairly disciplined when it come to trading commodities, I have cashed in about half of my chips, although I remain long gold for now. It just seems to me that a 300 percent gain in silver calls for some profit taking. I hope you agree. That does not mean I will abandon the metal entirely. I believe silver will consolidate as metals often do for several weeks or possibly months before moving higher. In the long term, I believe silver has further upside as do most metals. For longer-term investors I suggest you take your lumps in the short-term. As for me, I will wait until it pulls back to a more reasonable level before becoming interested once again. Oil, however, as I have reiterated, has more than reached my price target of $100 a barrel. My strategy for investors in that area had been to first reduce exposure to energy stocks, followed by a reduction in oil itself. It doesn't bother me that the talking heads are betting that oil goes higher. If they want to risk their money on an extra $10 worth of upside, let them. I think the easy money has been made (from $35/bbl. to $100 a barrel) and that's what I try to achieve — low risk, high return trades. Hang in there readers, there are better days ahead.

It's official: the S&P 500 Index is now up 100 percent from its low of 666.79 back in March 2009. It was the fastest double in stock prices since 1936. And it is not over. I have suggested several times in past columns past that a big move in stocks would come when individual investors sold their bond holdings, gathered their courage, and returned to the stock market. That time may be upon us. Consider that this is the fifth week in a row that inflows into domestic stock funds have increased. A total of $21.3 billion moved into equity mutual funds in January. The first week in February saw an additional $5.85 billion and last week another $9.3 billion flowed into equities. The money is coming out of bond funds (mainly funds invested in U.S. Treasuries and Munis). As expected, the stock markets' five-month winning streak and low rates of return in the government bond markets and money markets are forcing investors back into equities. This has been my premise for well over a year. Corporate profits are approaching record levels. The economy is gaining steam, inflation forecasts remain subdued (2-3 percent/year) and interest rates are historically low. That is what I call a "sweet spot" for making money in stocks. But the market's steady rise since the beginning of the year, with little to no corrections, has also confounded veteran market watchers. Some respected technical analysts I know have actually given up trying to predict the timing of a pullback. The truth is that a correction can happen at anytime, but so what. Buy the dip. Consider that the U.S. market continues to rise in the face of tensions in the Middle East, soaring global commodity prices, declining stock markets in the high growth emerging markets and continued financial concerns in Europe. In the past, any one of the above circumstances has had the power to take our market down 5 percent in a blink of the eye. But thanks to "Bennie and the Fed," investors own a "put" on our market. Back in November in my column "Don't Fight the Fed" had the following explanation for why the market would continue to rise: "The Fed is clearly telegraphing to investors that they want a higher stock market, and like unemployment and the economy, they will do what it takes to accomplish that goal. This message is behind the jump in the stock market this week. My advice to you is don't fight the Fed. Buy stocks." I stand by that advice. On another note, have you been watching the price of gold and silver? A few weeks ago I suggested that the price correction in both these precious metals was just about over. Since then both gold and especially silver have roared back to life. Silver is above $32 an ounce. It is getting closer to my target of $36-$37 an ounce, so be ready to take some profits when we reach that price level. Gold has lagged silver so far, but I believe it will ultimately narrow the lead. Nonetheless, both metals performance have been far from shabby.
Sure, I'm jumping the gun a little, but I suspect in the weeks ahead economists will begin forecasting a percentage point drop in joblessness by the end of this year. Granted, that number is nothing to celebrate, but at least it is moving in the right direction. For investors, however, that slow decline in unemployment does have a silver lining. You can count on the Federal Reserve to keep short-term rates at historic lows and keep QE II going until hiring accelerates. That means stock prices are going higher and Treasury bonds lower. As I wrote last week, the conflict in Egypt is a sideshow, although it did get gold and silver off their proverbial backs. Dusting off my technical charts, I believe a bottom in gold at $1,300 a ounce or there about is reasonable. We almost hit that level ($1,318 a ounce) a week ago. Silver also dropped to the $26.50 range and has risen every day since then. From the price action, it appears that the corrective phase of precious metals is just about over. Buyers take note that oftentimes, commodities will tend to re-test their lows; so if you are buying here save a little cash in the event these metals re-test. Egypt has also caused oil to spike to my price target of $100/bbl.Six of the world's ten most-used oil markers are now in triple digits. Crude oil futures for March delivery, the marker most often used in the U.S. media is still "only" $89-$90 a barrel so we still have a little room on the upside before I become cautious on oil in the short term. Last quarter's earnings season is winding down and once again there were more beats than misses. The latest batch of economic numbers (if sustainable, and I think they are) indicates that the present quarter should see an acceleration in earnings overall. U.S. chain store sales jumped 4.2 percent in January, despite the horrendous weather. The auto manufacturers are generating such strong profits (a 17 percent rise in January) that suppliers, lenders and dealerships are beginning to feel new life in their own financial performance after a two year hiatus. That trickle-down effect should impact America's Main Street very soon. On the global front, it's a similar picture with 15 of 24 of the world's major economies registering a surge in manufacturing. Factories throughout the U.S., Asia and Europe are experiencing growth, but it is also leading to higher commodity prices and therefore inflation. China and other developing countries have complained that U.S. policies (specifically the $600 billion QEII) are the root cause of these price increases. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke denies that and instead blames any inflationary pressures on the runaway growth among emerging market economies. Bottom line: every country in the world is playing the emerging market game, exporting their way back to prosperity. Those countries that have traditionally had that field to themselves suddenly find themselves in competition with the big boys. They can bluster, complain, even make veiled threats, but given the realities, they need us as much as we need them. We had another big week in the markets as the averages rebounded from the Egypt scare, although all of the gains came on Monday and Tuesday. This year seems to be shaping up like the last, where most of each month's gains occurred on the first day or two of the month. In 2010, Mondays were especially kind to investors, but we will have to see if that trend persists again this year. I'm bullish, although readers should expect pull backs at any time. Some of them may be quite hefty but that won't derail what I see as a continued upward bias in all the averages with industrials, commodities and technology leading the pack for now.
Last year, precious metals garnered the headlines and the attention of most investors. Gains in gold, silver, palladium and platinum left stocks in the dust. This year may well be the year for base metals, food and energy to outshine precious metals and the stock market overall. While gold and even silver's rise last year was more about concerns over currencies and inflation, the rise in basic materials is largely a play on the coming global economic recovery. The investment theme is simple: while world economies are beginning to grow, nations and companies rev up production in order to meet demand and therefore the demand for commodities increase proportionately. At the same time, new wealthier, middle-class consumers in developing countries, such as China and India, demand a better diet and now have the money to afford such delicacies as beef, pork, chicken as well as different grains and even bread and pastries. This scenario is neither new nor original. The prices of aluminum, cooper, steel, lead, zinc and a host of other hard metals as well as wood and paper and other basic materials have been on the rise over the last few years simply because certain developing nations such as China have been demanding more of these commodities to both re-build the infrastructure of their countries and also export to developed nations such as the U.S. and Europe. Now that global economic growth is at hand, demand for these materials will continue to expand, and at an accelerated rate. Some of these commodities, like rare-earth metals for example, have recently skyrocketed in price causing a mini-bubble in that sector. We can expect more of the same. Back in September of last year, readers may recall my column "Wheat, Weather and the Grocery Shelves" in which I warned that food prices were heading much higher. "The real increases in food prices are still waiting in the wings until the world's economies are on firmer footing. Once people can afford to spend again, prices are expected to move up quickly in commodities across the board." Well, folks, that time has come. Wall Street analysts forecast that food prices could rise anywhere from 2.5 to 4 percent this year versus 1.5 percent in 2010. A variety of factors including weather, population growth, the rise of the emerging market consumer as well as global economic growth have lit a fire under commodities as mundane as sugar, corn and cotton. Since June, corn prices are up 94 percent, soybeans have gained 51 percent and wheat is up over 80 percent. Just this week, the U.S. Agricultural Department reduced its estimates for global harvests of some important crops, as well as increased their demand forecasts for commodities overall. It seems a safe bet that when looking for new investments this year, commodity-producing companies and countries should be high on your list. As for the markets overall, all three averages are grinding higher as the second week of January comes to a close. I still expect a pullback of sorts (risk of 3-4 percent) but that would simply be another opportunity to buy stocks, given that I think the stock market will provide rewards of 15-20 percent between now and August. Given that kind of risk/reward scenario, I am a buyer of equities on every dip.

In 2003, Zara's CIO must decide whether to upgrade the retailer's IT infrastructure and capabilities. At the time of the case, the company relies on an out-of-date operating system for its store terminals and has no full-time network in place across stores. Despite these limitations, however, Zara's parent company, Inditex, has built an extraordinarily well-performing value chain that is by far the most responsive in the industry. The case describes this value chain, concentrating on its operations and IT infrastructure.

To show how one company makes brilliant use of multiple information channels: subjective and objective; qualitative and quantitative; and phone, face-to-face, e-mail, and modem.

- Ariel's milky soft skin pinned against Bridget's tanned, tight torso as they exchange deep, wet kisses is a breathtaking sight. They slowly undress one another, both intent on running inquisitive hands, lips and tongues over every inch of their young, gorgeous bodies. Ariel's full, shapely breasts are worshiped by Bridget. The playful blonde is keen to experience the feeling of such womanly assets in her eager mouth. The soft moans from both girls are sensual and alluring. Ariel is equally keen to suck on Bridget's small, delicious nipples as they both start to moisten with excitement and anticipation of what is to come. Bridget's inviting wet hole is a welcome site for Ariel who buries her face between the long, tanned legs opening up in front of her. Natural juices begin to flow as the probing tongue of the flame haired babe penetrates and pleasures until Bridget's tingling body releases a powerful, shuddering orgasm.

What Is Hepatitis B? | What Is the Hepatitis B Vaccine? | Who Should Get Vaccinated and When? | What Are the Risks Associated With the Hepatitis B Vaccine? | Who Should Not Get Vaccinated? | What Other Ways Can Hepatitis B Be Prevented Besides Vaccination? | What Happens in the Event of an Outbreak?
Hepatitis B is a disease caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). This virus attacks the liver. The disease can cause:
HBV is spread through the blood or other body fluids of an infected person.
Most hepatitis B infections clear up without treatment. Others develop into chronic hepatitis B. This can lead to serious complications, even death.
The hepatitis B vaccine is produced by inserting a gene for HBV into yeast. The yeast is grown, harvested, and purified. The vaccine is given as an injection into the muscle. This is usually given in a series of 3-4 shots during a 6-month period.
Newborns routinely receive the first dose of the hepatitis B vaccine before leaving the hospital. Two more injections are given to all infants at:
Depending on the type of vaccine, some babies may receive 4 doses.
Children and teens (aged 18 years or younger) who have not been immunized as babies can also get the vaccine. For children aged 11-15 years, there is a two-dose series available, called Recombivax HB.
It is recommended that adults (aged 18 years or older) get vaccinated if they are at high risk for hepatitis B. High risk includes:
All vaccines are capable of causing serious problems, such as a severe allergic reaction.
Most people who get the hepatitis B vaccine do not have problems. Some may have mild problems, including soreness where the shot was given and fever.
Acetaminophen is sometimes given to reduce pain and fever that may occur after getting a vaccine. In infants, the medication may weaken the vaccine's effectiveness. Discuss the risks and benefits of taking acetaminophen with the doctor.
You should not get the vaccine if you:
Other than getting the hepatitis B vaccine, the best methods of preventing an HBV infection include:

Its capital, Santiago de Compostela is the final destination on the Way of Saint James, the famous pilgrim route. For this reason alone it is worth visiting this region in Green Spain. You'll love its landscapes full of green wooded valleys, and its amazing beaches. All along the length of its coastline, bathed by the Cantabrian Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, you'll find areas of spectacular cliffs like those on A Costa da Morte, or the incredible Islas Atlánticas National Park.
You can visit its numerous charming villages, both on the sea and inland, and cities such as Santiago de Compostela, A Coruña, Ferrol, Lugo, Orense, Pontevedra and Vigo. You'll marvel at its many monuments such as the Tower of Hercules or Lugo's city walls, both designated World Heritage sites by the UNESCO.
Galicia's delicious gastronomy is one of its strong points, and features a variety of typical produce and dishes, including its shellfish (Dublin Bay prawns, king prawns, king scallops, mussels, scallops, lobsters, crabs), veal, octopus "a feira" (with potatoes), gammon with turnip greens or the almond tart known as "tarta de Santiago". And to drink what could be better than two of its most famous wines, Ribeiro and Albariño (which each have their own Wine Route) or the popular "queimada" (alcoholic spirits set alight in an earthenware bowl according to the typical ritual)?
If you feel like relaxing, why not make the most of Galicia's reputation as a land of spas and open-air hot springs? And if you fancy a little sport, you can always go to any of its golf courses, marine resorts… there's a whole world of options to choose from.

Diaoyu islands is China's!
My personal take is that the cuddly dude has snubbed to avoid the pain in the ass greatest ever backward asser by feigning back pains.
Harold Holt, our PM in the 70's went missing taking a swim at portsea beach and was supposed to have defected to china ferried in a chinese submarine. TE said so and i believed it.
Hope he had a nice vacation
Diaoyu islands is China's!
I have graduated from China Agricultural University in 2010.The vice chairman coming and visiting my mother-campus make me very exciting.what a pity that i can not face the beautiful thing.
I agree. China Agricultural University is a much better University than Harvard. I don't understand why Jinping Xi and Xilai Bo sent their children to study subjects like law and politics at such a lousy reactionary place like Harvard in Boston, USA.
With whom are you "agreeing" with? Yourself? Nobody said that "CAU is a much better university than Harvard" other than one Burmese (Bamar) propaganda agent!
the name "tocharian" means this person is likely a wannabe uygur separatist.
You have a very interesting logic. Nobody said CAU is better than Harvard. And most people agree Harvard should be much better. What is wrong to send child to a better school? And what is wrong for a Chinese Vice president to visit a Chinese School?
Please pay a attention on your grammer
Please pay a attention on your grammer
Please pay a attention on your grammer
You idiot!
He sent their children to US so that they are safe and do not have to worry about hiding or being hid.
I am more interested to know how he can pay such high fee at Harvard, which cost USD50,000-60,000 a year including living cost.
Does he get so much salary?
Harvard in Boston? Oh, Man, don't ever say that in Southie if you value your face. FYI, Harvard is in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a subway ride and a world away from Boston.
Hmmm...so is this a decoy?
Or did he really survive the assassination attempt?
Is it real? Has anyone pinched 'it'? Does the facial expression ever change? Does it poop? Check it out.
Its not him. Its a robot (android) look alike that has been planted by Japan. Once the robot becomes president, Japan will then have control of the Chinese government. His first decree with be that the disputed islands should go to Japan.
The robot was planted by Japan, but was manufactured in China.
The big is back...
If any of his family members is seen naked in the magazine spread, the bugger will be forced to step aside.
I would expect further investigation by TE into this curious politicial event, of which outsiders cannot understand the real background.
of course the ordinary chinese citizen did not even notice what has happened due to the strict censorship by the CCP.
how long doest it take?
regardless of mr. xi's appearance, I am grateful that the us troops are permanently stationed all over japan, so I feel safe out of harm's way from japanese extremists.
but do have some mercy on japanese, they are now '亡国奴' ('wang guo lu' in japanese, meaning folks of no real country) of their country being so heavily occupied by foreign troops and bases like no other.
I don't think TE could investigate any further secrets, unless someone who anti the authorities but want wo seize power has the purpose to leak some information.
You know, Zhongnanhai is one of the most mysterious places in the world.
Phew! I am relieved to see that things have not changed.
Until the Great Man disappeared under a veil of secrecy, I thought (GASP-GASP) that the Chinese government was actually getting more open and transparent :)
But (in retrospect) the government-sponsored mob attacks on the Japanese consulate should have clued me in.
what was going on during XI's missing two weeks?
was he having holidays as some stupid posters tell here? if so, why no explanation?
collective leadership? hahah, i guess better to tell "corrective leadership" which red guard and mao exercised.
of course this country everything in politics is controlled,but otherwise most of the things are uncontrolled, like foodstuff safety, railway safety, highway safety, which are conrolled by the degree of corruption.
how much mobs can attack japanese restaurants or embassy/consulates, hom much mobs can loot japanese shops,
how many fishing boat will be sailing to senkaku, and so forth are well under CCP's control.
of course if you march for democracy, you will be crashed by tanks.
I heard that previous Japanese ambassador was dismissed for not having discovered what was going on during Xi's missing two weeks (and being too friendly with the Chinese), the new ambassador was then dispatched to solve this mystery, but alas, as they say.... curiosity killed the cat.
5555555555555! (in Thai, 5 is pronounced as HA),
i have expected that you stupid would respond.
this is not the place for a demagogue like you!
you are, of course, not personally responsible for all those riots in China against Japanese, but you clearly shows the same mentality of those mobs. You do not have guts to go out to the streets but you are putting oil on the flames on as many internet sites/blogs as possible in your esteemed country.
as for xi, i am sure he was forced joined in the correction camp to run by new red gurd like you to learn how to grow rice before appearing at the agricultural university. How can CCP disclose such a truth!
yes, posters of japanese extremism are funny.
they can not badmouth about japan or the master us because they are not allowed by their occupier. so they keep bashing china and korea here.
but do have some mercy on japanese, they are the only 'wang guo lu' or '亡国奴' (meaning folks of no real country in japanese) in the world with their country so heavily occupied by foreign troops like no other. and thanks to the us occupation, so that all these extremists could do is barking only.
Shouldn't Mingze Xi be studying at the China Agricultural University? Ivy League schools are in the USA, not in China.
Both Guagua and Mingze should go back to China and follow the footsteps of their glorious grandfathers, the Great Chinese Revolutionaries, and not of their corrupt princeling fathers to help fulfill the dreams of the billions of poor peasants and workers in China. The revolutionary spirit (foundered on a sightseeing boat on Nanhu lake) of Feng Lei is still alive in the hearts of many Chinese, hukuo or dipiao, Chongqing or Shanghai.
Perhaps you should go home to Myanmar first? Vancouver is in Canada, and not Myanmar.
You should go back to Myanmar and follow the footsteps of your glorious grandfathers, the Great Than Shwe, and not the Western puppet of Suu Kyi to help fulfill the racist genocidal dreams of millions of Bamar living all over the world. The racist spirit of Than Shwe is alive and well in almost all Bamar living all over the world, including those who have obtained Western citizenship!
The vast majority of Bamar (at least) support their military junta in the ethnic purging of the ethnic minorities in Myanmar.
Monks held a banner saying, "Save your motherland Myanmar by supporting the president."
U Wirathu, a prominent monk of the city's Ma Soe Yein Monastery, is leading the demonstration. "This protest is to support the president's stand on the Rohingya issue," he said.
Lay protesters are wearing T-shirts with a photo of Thein Sein and a "tick" on the front and a picture of UN human rights envoy Tomás Ojea Quintana crossed out on the back. Demonstrators are complaining about international interference in the Arakan sectarian violence, particularly from the UN.
"The lid of authoritarianism has come off, and people finally have the freedom to express themselves," said U Aung Naing Oo, the author of "Dialogue," a book about conflict resolution in Myanmar's fractious society. "All these grievances have come out," and "the voices of reason are on the sidelines for now."
In online forums, Rohingya are referred to as dogs, thieves, terrorists and various expletives. Commenters urge the government to "make them disappear" and seem particularly enraged that Western countries and the United Nations are highlighting their plight.
Are all Bamar people racist?
This basically resolved myself exactly the way I anticipated: Xi Jinping resurfaces without any explanation of his absence.
I doubt any explanation will be forthcoming. The people spouting conspiracy theories like "Hu Jintao killed Xi Jinping to start a new Hu dynasty" need to eat their words. But... this was obviously more than Xi just going on a vacation considering that they blocked "Xi Jinping" from search engines during his absence.
I was thinking more along the lines of:
- Mild heart attack
- Plotting
- Possibly sidelined
But seem the NY Times or others heard bad back. Which is possible.
Or maybe bad back, give some time for the back pain pills to work, rounds of warm oil massage by top notch blind masseus experts, followed by plotting
Will be a busy two months I suspect...especially if rumors of that August meeting being a bust were true...
I personally believe that all world leaders must be given the space to "recharge their batteries" or to go into "seclusion" to reflect on important matters. We should judge leaders on their performance not on how much time he/she spends in the public eye mouthing trivialities. In any event, very often they have to retract their utterances when their mouths outdo the brain!!
Xi Jinping is about to take over the leadership of a country of 1.3 billion people. There are many important decisions that need to be made. Getting around kissing babies is not the style of Chinese politicians. The Western media must get used to it !!
Mingze also back in China?
Guagua is definitely not going back, is he?
'Mingze also back in China?
Guagua is definitely not going back, is he?'
Q: What is CDOMP?
A: Cheap Dirty Old Man Poster
A2: He should go to Suu Kyi to to confess and relief his problem.
No, he should go back to Burma reporting to Canada-Burmese Correction Facility for pedophile offenders over 60 years old.
have't noticed this
I wonder how much speculation is "fuelled" by TE's tempest-in-a-teapot approach to journalism.
Yeah, give the man a break, can't he have vacations?

The low density voice/fax network modules slide into Cisco 2600, 3600, and 3700 network module slots and contain either one or two voice interface card (VIC) slots. The VICs are daughter cards that slide into the voice/fax network modules and provide the interface to the telephony equipment and the PSTN. Just as the Cisco WAN interface cards can be swapped with other WAN interface cards, the Cisco VICs can be deployed interchangeably with other VICs in the voice/fax network modules. This built-in flexibility and investment protection are key reasons for the world-wide popularity of Cisco modular branch office router products.
VICs currently available include two-port foreign exchange station (FXS), direct inward dial (DID), foreign exchange office (FXO), Centralized Automated Message Accounting (CAMA) and E&M analog interface cards. Also available are a two-port ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) digital interface card providing no phantom power and a two-port ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) digital interface card providing -48V phantom power. These cards cover the entire range of analog connectivity options along with user side Q.931 and QSIG digital BRI connections (see chart). A Cisco 2600 series, including 2691 and 2600XM, or a Cisco 3620 can house one voice/fax module that contains up to two VICs, a Cisco 3640 can house up to three modules with a total of six VICs, and the 3660 holds up to six network modules providing a maximum of 24 analog voice ports. In addition, a Cisco 3725 can house two voice/fax modules with a total of four VICs and a Cisco 3745 can house up to four modules with a total of eight VICs.

Student government begins at the school level. Each school or college has its own student council and is represented on the University-level by a Student Senator. The Student Senators come together as the Student Senators Council (SSC) and invite the student council presidents from all schools- undergrad, graduate, and professional- to meet with them as the SSC's University Committee on Student Life (UCSL). The UCSL channels recommendations through the Student Senators Council. The SSC, as a constituent body of the University Senate, makes recommendations to the University Senate and/or the University Administration.
The Senate may make recommendations to the President, the Board of Trustees, or the individual schools.

MOON OF THE HARVEST OF RIPE THINGS VOLUME 9 NUMBER 10 PABLO, MONTANA 59855 SEPTEMBER 15,1979 It is indeed encouraging to see more and more attention being given every year to this occasion. Schools, communities, tribal groups and others are gradually becoming more involved in activities and ceremonies which capture the spirit of this much needed observance. As you know, all great American leaders have been remembered for their contributions to this country by setting aside a day during each year to reflect on their achievement. Since this has not usually been done for our great Indian leaders, we feel that it is appropriate for all the people of Montana, on this day, to not only reflect on the achievements of all Indian leaders, but to give special recognition to the contributions of all Indian people to our great nation. Office of Public Instruction Helena, Montana NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING —Finley Logging Unit-Notice is hereby given that a public hearing will be held at 7:30 p.m. on September 20,1979, in the Arlee Community Center, to accept the input of Tribal members into the proposed sale of timber from the Finley Logging Unit. The Finley Unit is located near the extreme southern boundary of the Flathead Reservation, east and above the community of Evaro. The Finley Unit contains 13,067 acres, of which 3,016 are merchantable and will be harvested, and is roughly bounded on the North by Finley Creek, by the "Inaccessible Line" on the East, the reservation boundary on the south and by both the reservation boundary and unmerchantable, young timber stands on the West. Estimated volume contained in this sale is 14.1 million board feet. Bid opening is scheduled for October 5,1979. ATTENTION The next regular Council Meeting will be held Friday, September 28th, at the Tribal Council Chambers. It will start at 9:00 a.m. —ALSO— The Fourth Quarterly Meeting is scheduled for October 5th, and will start at 9:00 a.m. at the Bowling Alley in Arlee, Montana. NATIVE AMERICAN DAY September 28,1979 On September 28, 1979, the state of Montana will observe once again Native American Day. This day was formally set aside by the 1975 Montana Legislature, which asked the Governor of Montana to designate the fourth Friday in September of every year for this occasion. The legislature also indicated that the people of Montana should be encouraged to participate in activities and ceremonies which are appropriate to the observance of this day. Please make a note of this day on your calendar as many Indian tribes, public schools and others are already making plans to celebrate the occasion.
