Customer Comments
I was very impressed and pleased by your service. I was shopping around for the perfume I ordered for my wife's birthday gift. I could not find it at many stores that I went; so I decided to buy it online. I must say that many other sites had it for double of what you had it for and when I saw your price I was sceptical because it was so much cheaper. I ended up ordering it anyway and seeing the Yahoo rating of your site made me feel a lot more easier in placing my order. I must tell you I was very pleased, I am a very picky consumer and when I shop I like to know what I am getting into. My order was here quicker than expected and from the day I placed my order I recieved an e-mail confirming it. Once again I am a very satisfied customer and I know where I am going to buy my Mother's birthday gift.

How to Become an Egg Donor
July 15, 2008 by admin
Filed under Health & Fitness
There are countless families in the world who are desperately trying to have a baby, but struggle for any number of reasons. One of the increasingly more common reasons in the modern family is the age of the mother when its time to conceive. Older mothers have had an opportunity to build their career and experience the world, but unfortunately their eggs have aged along with them. Younger women have the opportunity to help build the family they want while making a bit of money for the time and effort spent.
Become an Egg Donor
Becoming an egg donor is not often mentioned in social circles, but donating eggs to friends, family or strangers is becoming more common as science advances and more families start at later ages. Women who are unable to use their own eggs or struggle getting pregnant sometimes turn to younger women whose eggs are younger and healthier for a donation. The donated eggs are then fertilized with the partner's sperm and implanted to begin a pregnancy.
The Egg Donation Process
Donating eggs is more complicated than donating sperm. Women release a egg from their ovary once every menstrual cycle, usually once a month. That egg travels to the uterus, waits to become fertilized and then leaves the body if it is not fertilized. Unlike men who can technically produce sperm until they die, women are born with a set number of eggs and those eggs age and are used overtime. At a point after the thirties, the likelihood of releasing a healthy egg that is ready to be fertilized and grow diminishes. This is why these women need your younger, healthier eggs.
To donate eggs, you would contact an egg donation agency and submit a profile. When a family who is in need of eggs decides you're the ideal candidate you will be notified and the process will begin. You will likely be paid a portion of your fee upfront. (The total fee can easily be upwards of $6000.)
You will be given hormone shots to encourage your body to release multiple eggs at once in the upcoming cycle. When you ovulate, doctors will carefully extract the eggs using a long needle and your job will be finished. Once the eggs have been harvested and the process is complete, you will be paid the remainder of your fee and you can enjoy that money knowing you've helped to make a family's dream come true.
How to Prepare a Nursery
July 14, 2008 by admin
Filed under Home & Garden
Ah, the nursery! When a new baby is on the way, the nursery presents the most fun and the most challenges. It doesn't take long to realize you need more than a crib and a few outfits, but how do you know when you've gone overboard? Need to plan a nursery? Here's how:
Pick the Room For Your Nursery
Your nursery should ideally be a room that is away from loud traffic or the neighbor's barking dogs. You might prefer it have a western window to help your baby sleep later in the morning without the sun streaming in as it rises. It does not have to be large, but it will probably help to have a closet and some wall space for furniture placement.
Pick the Theme
How is the rest of your house decorated? Will this room be similar? Sketch out a rough plan in your head of what you would like the room to look like. What colors do you like? What kind of furniture do you need? Will the wood be dark or light?
Buy the Linens
While it might seem like the furniture would be next, you should buy the linens. The dust ruffle, crib bumper, sheets, quilt and curtains will determine the color and overall look of the room. Neutral will suit future babies in the room, while gender specific colors and patterns can be more fun. Sheets will get the most use, so buy a few extras. Quilts can't be used in the bed until much later, so consider buying a rod and making it a wall hanging for decoration.
Paint Your New Nursery
After you have the color scheme, buy paint and/or wall paper and get busy putting color on the walls. Remember to let Dad do the painting; pregnant women should avoid the fumes if possible.
Buy the Furniture
Now it's time to buy a crib, dresser, changing table and any other furniture you might need in the room. Changing tables are often used only for a year or two, so it might be better to get a pad for the top of the dresser. Also consider putting a full or twin bed in the room for times a parent wants to sleep near baby. Be sure to get coordinating linens if you do get a bed for the room. The furniture may take some time to be delivered, but set it up once it does arrive.
Buy the Rocker or Glider
You should have something to rock your baby in. Gliders are popular, and traditional rocking chairs will also do the trick. Buy one that is comfortable and sturdy. You'll be spending a lot of time in this chair.
Buy the Decorations
Up to this point, you've taken care of the big items. You've painted, and you've set up furniture. You've got the linens. Now you get to buy decorations. Buy picture frames, rugs, wall signs or letters, toy boxes, lined baskets and anything else that suits your fancy.
Buy the Extras
Don't forget to include the extra baby items in the room as well. You'll need something for wet and dirty diapers, storage for clean diapers, a mobile, a place to store toys and linens, possibly a white noise machine or fan, a humidifier, and a baby monitor.
Buy the Layette
Now, it's time to buy the layette. Layette is a fancy word for all the clothing and blankets a newborn needs. You should buy a few clothing items in the newborn size along with receiving blankets, burp clothes, washcloths, swaddling blankets and socks or booties to be ready. Be sure to pre wash all linens including sheets and blankets that will come in contact with baby's sensitive skin.
Put Your New Nursery All Together
Finally spend a few days putting it all together. Remember to get help moving and setting up heavy items and take your time. Put the linens on the crib and hang curtains in the window. Hang pictures and place your rug. Then put the layette into your new dresser, sit in your rocker and anticipate bringing that new baby home.
How to Plan a Pregnancy
July 14, 2008 by admin
Filed under Family & Parenting
A pregnancy is an exciting time. But many fail to realize that preparing for pregnancy is as important as actual conception. If you're ready to become a parent, here's how to plan your pregnancy.
Prepare the Body For Pregnancy
The woman's body should be as prepared as possible for pregnancy. She should stop taking birth control pills or remove any other chemical or hormonal birth control devices well before starting work on conception to give her hormones a chance to stabilize. This also gives the body time to clear away any lingering chemicals.
The mother should be at a healthy weight for her size for an easier conception and to ensure fewer complications during pregnancy and delivery. Regular exercise is good during pregnancy, so it is wise to be in the habit prior to conception.
The prospective mother should also begin taking prenatal vitamins before conception. The first few weeks of a pregnancy are when these extra vitamins and minerals are most important, but often a woman doesn't experience pregnancy symptoms until five or six weeks into the pregnancy.
Prepare the Home For Pregnancy
Is there space for a baby and all the large items that come with it? It is far easier to move before pregnancy than during it to avoid stain and stress on the pregnant mother.
Prepare the Finances For Pregnancy
Babies are expensive. While there is no perfect time to become pregnant, if you are facing financial difficulties, can't pay your existing bills or foresee financial difficulties you might be better waiting until you are in a comfortable or stable position before conceiving.
Prepare the Mind For Pregnancy
You should be in a steady place in your mind. A baby should not be a solution to any problems or a method to save a relationship. Both partners should agree to try for the baby before stopping birth control.
Timing of Conception
Once you are prepared, the trying can begin. This should be a joyful time, not stressful. While it is hard to wait, most couples take more than one or two months to become pregnant. If you are looking for a specific time of delivery, for example the spring, get started a bit early to give yourself some time for false starts.
While every woman is different and every lifestyle is different, fertility begins to wane earlier than most women realize. In your twenties you have an 80% or higher chance of getting pregnant easily. By your early thirties your odds have dropped to 60%, and by thirty-five you have only a 50% chance of easily becoming pregnant.
Boosting Your Chances To Get Pregnant
To boost your chances of becoming pregnant each cycle, you can monitor for ovulation using basal readings or an ovulation predictor kit. You also are more likely to conceive if you are at a healthy weight, are active, are not overly stressed and eat a healthy and balanced diet.
Timing Sex
You should ideally have sex the exact moment your body releases an egg. Since most women have no idea when this is occurring, you can chart your ovulation using a kit or your temperature to get an idea of when you should be having sex. At the very least, you should be having sex every two or three days to ensure there are sperm ready and waiting for the egg whenever it releases. (Sperm can live up to five or more days.)
How to Increase the Chance of Having a Boy
July 14, 2008 by admin
Filed under Health & Fitness
It is perfectly normal to prefer, or at least think you prefer, one gender over the other when trying to conceive. Of course many parents are shocked to discover just how quickly they adapt to either gender, but this is necessary as only genetic engineering or embryo selection can absolutely determine sex. But if would like to tip the odds, and you're wondering how to have a baby boy, consider the following:
The Shettles Method
Doctor Shettles has developed a method for conception that has a relatively high percentage of success. His theory is based on the nature of sperm and the speed with which they travel.
All eggs produced by a woman are X chromosomes. Sperm can carry a Y or an X chromosome. Two X's make a girl baby, and one X (the egg) and one Y make a boy. The Y carrying sperm are smaller and faster than the heavy X carrying sperm. So according to Dr. Shettles, to conceive a boy, you simply need to get the "boy" sperm to the egg before the "girl" sperm.
Chart Your Cycle
The first step to conceive a baby boy is to chart your monthly cycle so that you know when you are ovulating. You can check for ovulation by keep track of your basal body temperature, checking mucus or by using ovulation strips or a kit. Once you know when you will be ovulating, you can give conceiving a boy a try.
Time Intercourse
To conceive a boy baby you must have intercourse no sooner than twenty-four hours before ovulation and no later than twelve hours after ovulation. Boy sperm live shorter, more frantic lives, so this gives them the best range of time to get to the egg and beat out the girl sperm that move more slowly and live much longer lives. The conditions inside the vagina and cervix are also at their least hostile during ovulation as the mucus is less acidic.
Tips for Success
To be successful, you should consider additional steps in the conception process. Boy sperm can use a running start as many are killed in the vagina due to its hostile environment. To get them closer to the starting gate, consider positions for intercourse that have deep penetration such as penetration from behind the female. Also, caffeine has been shown to make sperm move more rapidly, so have the man drink a quick cup of coffee or soda before beginning intercourse.
Finally, it is encouraged that the female partner have an orgasm during sex. An orgasm makes the vaginal environment more alkaline which is hostile to girl sperm giving the boy sperm that much more of a fighting chance.
How To Choose The Right Method of Delivery
July 14, 2008 by admin
Filed under Health & Fitness
When it comes to giving birth, the parents have a lot of decisions to make about the procedure used to deliver your baby. If you have had a baby in the past then you will have had the choices just before he/she was delivered so you have a good idea on how you would like your next addition to your family to be delivered.
Many people still believe that a natural birth without any anesthetic or painkillers is the best method as it has been used since the very beginning of time and was the only method given to women in the olden days if everything went to plan without any complications. With the new invention of various painkillers and drugs which can be used in conjunction to give a pain free delivery, there is no need to suffer when you don't necessarily need to.
If you're feeling brave enough to attempt to have a natural birth you do also have options, if you start to feel that the contractions are getting to strong and your unable to cope you can have an epidermal which is an injection into the lower section of your spine which will remove any discomfort you are having, this truly does give a pain free delivery. You have to be careful though because after you have dilated so much you are not allowed to have the epidermal so make your decision on how you want to go about it as soon as possible. Another method of pain relief which can sooth the soreness and make this painful situation a little more comfortable is gas and air, this has different effects on different people and you cannot tell how you will be affected until you try it. It can make people feel drowsy and feel sick in some cases
Another method of birth which is becoming more popular in today's world even amongst some celebrities is a water birth. This is where the midwife will come out to your home and perform the birth in a pool of water. The official birthing pool's can be quite expensive and you may not have the facilities to host such an item. There are many different alternatives in which you can consider as a birthing pool, a children's paddling pool can be sufficient and make a great substitute. Failing that you can even perform a water birth in your very own bath tub just be sure to clean it thoroughly as a bath full of plasma would be enough to put anyone off. The benefit of having a water birth is the fact that the water provides buoyancy and can relax the mother which will make it easier to delivery the baby. This method can provide a safe delivery which will not put your health or the baby's health in danger which is why it is becoming more popular amongst many people.
The last method of giving birth may not be optional in some extreme cases, a caesarean section or "C" section is often used as the last resort if there have been any complications during labor which may have been over looked. A caesarean is where they take the baby out of the uterus by making an incision in the lower stomach and opening it up. This procedure can be requested if you have gone private as many women tend to have a tummy tuck whilst they are under surgery making the excess skin disappear even faster. Women see this as a viable alternative as it will reduce the pain of going through labor and having the trouble or attempting to push the baby out. The downside to this procedure is the same as any other surgery, there are considerations which shouldn't be overlooked to ensure the safety of you and your child.
There are many advantages as well as disadvantage of each method of delivery, it's always recommended that you seek advice from your midwife who can go through each variation of birth with you so you can take the information away with you to talk it through with your partner and make an educated decision on which will suit you the best.
How to Choose a Name for a Baby
July 14, 2008 by admin
Filed under Family & Parenting
Naming a baby is one of the most exciting parts of pregnancy and childbirth. The name you select will have a profound impact on your child's life and should not be taken lightly. To choose from all of the baby names available, consider the following steps:
Clear the Air
Be open-minded when you settle down with your significant to dream about baby and his or her name. Women are not the only ones who have ideas from childhood about what their baby will be named. The first step in discussing names is to get dreams, preferences and expectations out in the open.
If you've always dreamed of naming your baby girl Samantha, but your significant other only likes creative and highly unusual names, you need to clear the air. Offer your own general opinions and the thoughts you've already had. Listen to his. Then put those on the back burner and work toward a compromise that suits both of you and the unborn child.
Is there a tradition in your family that you would like to continue? If your husband is a junior, perhaps your son should be a junior. If girls are names after members of the family, you might prefer to follow the tradition.
Examine your heritage. Are there specific names or customs that are especially meaningful and applicable to your baby? Is the due date on the pregnancy calendar symbolic in anyway?
Use a baby naming website or book to browse through and brainstorm about possibilities. Each parent should make a list of top choices and then share the lists to look for similar or identical selections. If one partner has a strong opposition to a name, cross it off the list. Naming your child is about reaching a decision together, not forcing a name on both your spouse and your child.
The Short List
Whittle down names until you have a short list. Then practice the names. Do they sound right with your last name? Do the initials spell anything embarrassing? Yell them up the stairs – does it fit your home and lifestyle?
You then can keep a short list until delivery or pick the name that appeals the most to both parents. If you are stuck between two names, ask a trusted friend for her opinion or use one name as the middle name.
Finally, be prepared to change your mind. It is perfectly acceptable to change your mind during delivery or even the last few weeks of pregnancy. Sometimes babies need names like, "Hope" or "Joy" that have extra special meaning you would never have known about before delivery. And other times you just realize that your little boy looks more like an Aaron than a Zebidiah once you've gotten a good look at him. Be flexible – you'll need it the rest of your parenting career.
How To Understand Your COBRA Rights
COBRA, or Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, gives you the right to continued group insurance under most circumstances for a limited time. COBRA benefits are usually more expensive than the group rates you paid while employed as your former employer is no longer footing part of the bill, but in many cases is less expensive than independent insurance. For some situations, it might be the only method to keep insurance for situations like ongoing treatment and pregnancy.
What is COBRA?
The Untied States Government passed the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act in 1986 to extend health care coverage that might otherwise be terminated. It gives you options when it comes to healthcare.
Who Qualifies?
There are many situations that qualify you, your spouse or your dependents for COBRA benefits. In most cases, unless you were fired for gross misconduct, you, your spouse and dependents all qualify. Other circumstances also allow for benefits including death, divorce, qualification for Medicare, reduction in working hours and if a child outgrows dependent status.
Why COBRA?
If you were laid off or chose to leave a job, but don't have another one with benefits already lined up, COBRA might be a nice way to bridge the gap without having to find other insurance. Benefits can last for one to three years and once you are approved, you can continue with the same methods of treatment you've been using up to that point. This is especially important for those with ongoing treatments for long term diseases, conditions and pregnancy where finding other insurance with the same coverage might be almost impossible.
COBRA benefits are often a bit less expensive than a similar plan through independent insurance.
What Do I Do?
When you leave a position or come into another situation which entitles you to COBRA benefits, you will receive a letter from your former employer within 14 days. You then can apply for benefits and your specific situation determines approval. Generally you have up to 60 days to apply, and coverage begins on the first day you would normally have had coverage – even if you elect the plan 60 days after that time.
For additional information, the United States Government has a list of FAQ available here.
How To Get Insurance with Current Medical Condition
For years it was almost impossible to find insurance that adequately covered preexisting conditions. This is no longer the case in the United States following the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) which passed in 1997. Getting insurance with a current medical condition maybe easier than you think – in the United States at least.
Current Medical Conditions
According to HIPAA, a preexisting, or current, medical condition is anything that has been treated in the last six months. This does not include pregnancy or new babies. Those are not considered preexisting conditions at all and can not be subjected to wait periods. The only limitation an insurance agency can put on you (and your preexisting condition) is a twelve month waiting period before coverage for that treatment begins.
The Waiting Game
HIPPA also allows for your prior health insurance to be credited toward the twelve month waiting period provided you didn't lapse in insurance for more than 62 days. This means that if you were diagnosed with an illness one year ago, but remained insured for that year, you no longer qualify for a waiting period and can begin new coverage immediately. An insurance company can not make you wait for treatment or deny you coverage based on that condition. This is true when going from one group plan to another, but things do become more complicated when a large insurance plan is not involved.
If you are leaving a job for any reason but being fired, you can use your COBRA rights to continue your current benefits until you find a new job, preferably one with group coverage. COBRA will offer you the same insurance you had at your prior position, even if you are laid off, so your treatments should be covered for up to three years. During that time, you can find a new position or with the conclusion of treatments, lose your preexisting condition status.
No Coverage
If you are entering a group policy without insurance for the prior 62 days, you may be put on a twelve month waiting period – at least for the specific condition. This may also be true if you are seeking independent insurance not bound by group policies or limitations. If this is your case, consider taking the following steps to find coverage:
- Get a clause in an insurance plan excluding the specific medical condition, but allowing for coverage of any other sort.
- See what plans your state offers for those who can not get medical insurance.
- Look into plans and treatment options at county or state run facilities.
- Find a group of other independents to join that have a medical plan. (i.e. Realtors, artists, etc…)
- Get a catastrophic plan which doesn't cover doctor's visits, but does cover emergency care and hospital bills.
- Speak with a Health Benefits Counselor about your best options.
- Appeal the refusal – especially if there are additional state laws protecting citizens with poor health, obesity, etc…
- Wait it out. Find a way to make ends meet until the waiting period is up, and then never let your insurance lapse more than 62 days.

How To Find the Truth about Maternity Insurance
Maternity insurance is a specialized insurance offering that only a few need, well, at most only 50% of the population needs. Maternity insurance is often misunderstood, especially when it is not included in a standard group policy of some kind. If you are struggling to wade through the facts and rumors of maternity insurance, learn how to find the truth about maternity insurance.
It's Already Included
In many group policies, maternity medical insurance is included, but you should never assume this is the case without checking. If you have an independent policy, you may be very surprised to discover that maternity is most often not included. Not only that, but it might not be available in your area – at least not through traditional insurance companies. This is definitely something to check before becoming pregnant if at all possible. Read through your policy handbook or speak with a knowledgeable representative to determine exactly what is included in regard to maternity coverage in your current policy.
It's Easy to Get
It's possible, but most often maternity insurance is complicated to get if it's even available. The coverage options vary by state, and by country. If you are already pregnant, it can be challenging to get separate maternity insurance or even a general insurance policy. It can also be challenging for other members of your family to get insurance if you don't already have it thanks to the new baby's ability to be put on any current insurance plan for the first thirty days of life. Research your options in advance and find the ideal solution for your family – be it a traditional group policy through a company or collection of independents, or possibly a maternity rider on an independent policy.
I Don't Need It
Even if you are planning on a simple home birth, there are many other complications to consider with a pregnancy. Delivery may be the bulk of your costs, but even simple deliveries with a midwife or knowledgeable relative can turn expensive quickly if the baby is in trouble, you need emergency care, or a situation such as a breech position baby or twins makes it unsafe for a home or center delivery.
Maternity insurance also covers prenatal and postnatal care as well as sonograms, routine tests and blood work that can alert you to any conditions you or your baby might suffer. General insurance will not cover these costs, and even a twenty-four hour stay in a hospital can cost thousands.
I'll Pay Cash
Unless you have a great deal of money on hand, you won't qualify for a cash discount. If you prepay delivery, you can save, but there are additional savings with negotiated insurance rates as well. Even the most basic maternity coverage can cut your costs tremendously. Why throw away cash when you can save it by picking up a simple maternity rider before beginning a pregnancy?
How to Deal with a Surprise Pregnancy
July 2, 2008 by admin
Filed under Family & Parenting
When you see an unexpected blue line or in our digital age, a glaring "Pregnant," your world may grind to a halt. You're pregnant. You didn't plan it, and you're not sure what to do about it. This is a high stress situation, but your first step is to stop worrying about that positive and let your initial emotions process. Then, when you've finished shaking, screaming, yelling, cheering and crying you're ready to deal with your surprise pregnancy.
Assess Your Emotions
Your emotions will tell you a lot about what to do next with your pregnancy. If you listen to your body for a few days and try to understand the whirl of emotions you might get a sense of how much you actually want to be pregnant. Is there an underlying dread about becoming a parent or are you excited about the possibility? As hard as it is, leave your marital, financial and other situations out of the emotional mix right now. The question now is what do YOU want?
Assess Your Situation
Your next step is to assess your situation. This time leave emotion out of the mix while you look at your living conditions, your relationship and your means of support. There are almost no conditions that can't be overcome if you're ready to become a parent, but knowing what you have on your side and what you're up against will help you clear the way. Look at everything with the eyes of a potential mother, not just a girl or woman.
Option A or Option B
At this point you will likely clue your significant other into the pregnancy and be sure to give him time to process the news. Remember how you felt and let him vent and express his emotions. The first few hours are no indication of how he'll feel once the shock has worn off.
Then the two of you will have to make an important decision. Do you want to keep the baby. You likely already know the answer to this based on your emotional response and your situation. Your emotions should win our over situations, however since you can work to change your situation.
Hear your partner out, but trust in your own instincts. Your partner is an important part of this decision, but you will be responsible for the next nine months. Only you can create a healthy baby if you choose to continue the pregnancy. There is no need to discuss adoption or any other plan at this point except possible a sneaky marriage if you're trying to hide the "surprise" factor.
Act on Your Decision
If you decided to abort the pregnancy, follow the requirements set forth in your state. Realize that there is a timeframe on your decision and laws may require you take certain steps before carrying out the procedure. If you decide to continue the pregnancy, arrange prenatal care immediately to get started on vitamins and a healthy diet to be sure your baby grows to be as healthy as possible.
Plan for Parenthood
Once you've started a pregnancy, you have eight months or so to prepare to become a parent. This might be enough time to train in a new career or finish a current program. It's enough time to move to a new area or move back home to a better support system if your relationship doesn't work out. Eight months is plenty of time to get married, get divorced or separate. You might even start a new relationship while pregnant.
It's impossible to see into the future, obviously, but spend this eight months getting ready to become a parent. Even if you offer your baby in adoption, you'll still need to understand the process of labor and delivery. You'll also need to make arrangements for the future of your child.
If you're keeping the baby, find a safe home for the two of you and a means of support. If you're married this will be far easier than if you're single, but there are many programs and support systems in place for single mothers. Regardless of marital status, find a support system through your family, a community center or religious center to help you through the process.


text: I have a really quick question about fixed gear conversions. One thing I am curious about is how solid is a fixed rear wheel in a horizontal drop out. I am about to purchase two complete nishiki olympic bikes. I am going to build myself a fixie out of one of them and keep the other as a beater or build my special lady friend a s/s bar hopping bike. I am pretty hard on bikes and I have images of laying on the ground with a rear wheel that has pulled out of the drop out due to me cranking too hard on the pedals. I dont have to worry about this on my san jose. Is there anyway to stop this from happening or this an irrational fear? Does anyone make a horizontal drop out chain tensioner? (which has nothing to do with my question, just a side thought). Any help would be much appreciated

|Th1 cells specific for a secreted protein of Listeria monocytogenes are protective in vivo.
|Reference Detail
|Reference ID:
|In the present study we have investigated the role of the secreted p60 protein from Listeria monocytogenes as an Ag for CD4 T cells. The p60 protein is an abundant extracellular protein that is highly conserved within the members of the genus Listeria. Our results show that L. monocytogenes infection induces a potent p60-specific Th1 immune response. Remarkably, we found that p60-specific Th1 clones mediate significant protection against L. monocytogenes infection. For one p60-specific clone, the peptide epitope was defined. This clone recognized p60 301-312 (EAAKPAPAPSTN) in the context of the H-2Ad molecule. Despite the fact that acquired immunity against L. monocytogenes is primarily mediated by cytotoxic CD8 T lymphocytes, our data clearly demonstrate that secreted bacterial proteins are important CD4 T cell Ags and that Th1 clones specific for a secreted bacterial protein can contribute to the protection against an intracellular pathogen such as L. monocytogenes.

Position Paper on Internet Access
The Internet is a global network of information accessible with a computer. There are 34 million sites (a number which doubles every three months) filled with educational and recreational information and linked with other related sites to create a spider-like web of topics known as the World Wide Web. The Internet and the World Wide Web are not regulated in any way. Therefore, information on the Internet may be accurate, informative, and useful, and at the same time may also contain inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading information. And certainly, some sites can be considered inappropriate for children by any community standards.
Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh believes in open access to information and endorses the American Library Association's Code of Ethics and Library Bill of Rights in which it states, "Freedom of expression is an inalienable human right and the foundation for self-government. Freedom of expression encompasses the freedom of speech and the corollary right to receive information. These rights extend to minors as well as adults." Electronic resources provide unprecedented opportunities to expand the scope of information available to all users. However, providing connections to global information, services and networks is not the same as selecting and purchasing materials for a library's collection. Information available electronically may not meet a library's selection policy and because of the nature of the technology, it is virtually impossible for the Library to "select" material to be accessed. Instead, it is left to each user to determine what is appropriate and useful. Parents or legal guardians who are concerned about their children's use of electronic resources must become thoroughly familiar with the technology and the sources of information available on it. Only then can they provide the necessary guidance to their children.
The issue of freedom of expression on the Internet was argued at the Supreme Court level in the Communications Decency Act contained in the Telecommunications Act of 1996. A June 1997 ruling determined that the First Amendment regarding free speech will apply to Internet communications, and further, that communications on the Internet will not be restricted by government censorship or interference.
While an advocate for the right to free access to information, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh does not intend to be a "provider of pornography" to children. In anticipation of this problem, the Library Board of Trustees, on August 20, 1996, adopted an Internet Access Policy which states in part, "The U.S. Federal Courts and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania have set forth definitions of obscenity' and what is harmful to minors.' The Pennsylvania Legislature has expressly exempted public libraries from prosecution for displaying or permitting the display of obscene materials to minors. While the Library has been exempted from the obscenity statute and prosecution, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh will assume the practices that fully regard the issue of what is harmful to minors' and will seek to limit exposure to children and young adults to materials which fit the legal definition recorded by the courts as being "harmful to minors." In other words, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh has chosen to abide by the State's obscenity laws and taken actions which demonstrate its concern about the children accessing pornography on the Internet and the Library's intent to comply with the State's obscenity laws. In addition to instituting the Internet Access Policy, the Library has taken the following actions:
- The Library has installed blocking software on computers
located in the Children's Department and on those computers
designated for children's use in each of our 18 branch libraries.
The software blocks access to websites depicting or discussing
information that is "harmful to minors"....ie contain images or
text of an adult sexual nature.
The filtering software selected by the Children's and Automation staff is called CyberPatrol. Monthly updates on sites to be blocked are received from the software developer. The software also prevents users from typing in searches that contain words on a "stop list." When a user tries to type in a word on the list, it is xxed out and made unsearchable.
As with most new technology there are difficulties. Filtering software does not always block all objectionable sites. Also, new web sites are created at such a fast pace, filtering software developers are unable to keep up with them.
- The Library has developed and widely distributed a brochure entitled "Pointers for Parents: Children and the Internet." In it we have attempted to point out the risks, as well as the riches available via the Internet and outlined guidelines for its use. We also make available "Child Safety on the Information Highway," a publication from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
- The Library has created a website, Kids' Page at http://www.carnegielibrary.org/kids/ which links to quality sites for family use. We encourage use of it at every opportunity. It is intended to capture the imagination of children and channel their curious natures in productive, wholesome ways.
- Ever since the introduction of computers in the Children's Department, the Library has offered computer workshops focused on parents and children learning to "surf the net" together. The workshops require children and parents to attend together, a prerequisite intended to emphasize the importance of parental involvement and supervision in using this new technology.
Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, within its physical and technological limitations, is making every effort to protect children in accordance with Pennsylvania law, and within its understanding of its responsibility to all patrons, has informed parents of the risks and riches of the Internet.
In this brave, new world of information technology, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh seeks to operate in a way that maintains the tenets of intellectual freedom. At the same time, we, too, believe in a safe and secure environment in which children can grow to be responsible, informed citizens. It is a thin line we balance on these days. We fully understand that our statements, actions and policies do not solve or end the problem of inappropriate Internet use. We cannot guarantee that, but we do pledge to our patrons that we will continue to be active and responsive to the challenges that arise from new information technology.

7 comments:
Ahhhh doves....some call them the cockroaches of the air....but they are still fun to have in the yard:) And blue jays...lucky you:) It's possible here, but only in winter:)ReplyDelete
I love that little seed catcher mulch bed. I am going to copy that for sure. Hope you do not mind. If you have any ideas for keeping the sparrows from shooting the seed all over, I hope you can post on that.ReplyDelete
It is dove hunting season here. Sometimes, I think they're hiding in our garden. They're fun to watch. Kind of like having occassional chickens.
Sparrows are such messy eaters aren't they? I put the little wooden hexagon under the feeder originally to keep from walking there and hitting my head on the feeder. Ha! It works though for both things.
I have only seen 2 blue jays here in 13 years!! I wish we had more--but then I hear they can be kind of naughty too!! They are beautiful though, aren't they!! The dove is one of my favorite birds because of their cooing--One of my favorite sounds of summer nights!! I'm eagerly awaiting for the little ground feeding dark eyed juncos to arrive here!! I have yet to relocate my feeder since the pond project--I don't really want all their messy spills in my water :-)ReplyDelete
Doves are the funniest birds~i enjoy their cooing on early morning visits to the garden. gailReplyDelete
Blue Jays can be kind of a bully because of their size but I love to see them. They don't fit well on our feeders so that keeps them from dominating in our yard much.
I love listening to the doves too. Although, we have one in the neighborhood that wheezies. Poor guy.
I like seeing the doves. They seem sweet.

Women have participated in the labor movement and in related social movements since the beginnings of industrialization. They went on strike and organized unions from their first exposure to the long hours and harsh working conditions in the mills. If the predominantly male unions were reluctant to welcome female workers, they continued to organize on their own, sometimes forming all-female unions. As a reserve labor force, women and immigrants made possible the major industrial expansions of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, as well as the shift from the manufacturing to the service and clerical sectors that began in the 1970s. As the gender of the paid-labor force changed in the twentieth century to include many more female workers and married women, and with the decline of blue-collar jobs and blue-collar unions, and the rise in immigration to the United States, women and immigrants have become increasingly important to the reemerging labor movement of the twenty-first century.
These long-term economic and social changes for both women and unions are creating the opportunity for new relationships. Women are a growing part of the new global workforce at a time when sweated labor is expanding globally. Economically, women in the United States are no longer "secondary workers. " The decline in real wages since 1973 and the rise in female-headed families have increased economic pressures on female workers. As wages in the United States fall and as workdays get longer, the competing stresses of work and family life intensify. The conditions that inspired the women in the Lawrence textile strike may inspire a new generation of women workers to revitalize the labor movement and call for "bread and roses."
The evidence from the twentieth century demonstrates that, contrary to the stereotypes, female workers are militant and organizable. In the twentieth century, female department-store workers in Oakland, California, walked out in 1946, sparking a general strike of more than 120 thousand workers. Two-thirds of the 350 thousand telephone workers who went on strike in 1947 were women. In the 1960s and 1970s women accounted for more than two-thirds of teachers, tripling the membership of the teachers' unions to more than two million. The evidence indicates that women are more sympathetic to unions than men and more interested in collective solutions to problems at work.
As women in such female-dominated sectors of the economy as health care, education, federal, state, and city governments, and the clerical and service sectors lead the way into unions, they are pressuring the labor movement to open leadership positions to them and to place issues of work and family squarely in the center of labor's agenda. In 1974, women organized the Coalition of Labor Union Women (CLUW) to press for leadership positions in the labor movement. By the 1990s two in five union members were women. The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) with its 5.5 million female members became the largest "working women's organization" in the country. In consultation with its members it developed an agenda to place working women's issues center stage and to reach out to both union and nonunion women. Focusing on equal pay, quality child care, voting, organizing new workers into unions, the right to make changes on the job, and a better balance of work and family, the vision of "bread and roses" continues to inspire working women's struggles in the new century.

Hemispherx ATM Withdrawals Raise A Red Flag
TheStreet) -- Red flag alert: Hemispherx Biopharma (HEB - Get Report) is selling stock stealthily ahead of December's Ampligen FDA advisory panel. Uh oh, I sense another Hemispherx rant.No rant, just a warning. Hemispherx used a Friday night SEC filing to disclose the sale of 10.9 million shares of stock at an average price of 92 cents per share. After expenses and commissions, Hemispherx net $9.5 million from the sale. You said this stock sale was stealthy. Why? Hemispherx is using an At-the-Market (ATM) equity financing facility to sell stock. These ATMs allow companies, through a broker or investment bank, to sell treasury stock to investors at current market prices. Small companies like ATMs because they're a relatively easy and cheap way to raise cash, but ATMs aren't great for current shareholders because companies do not have to disclose the sale of stock except in regulatory filings, often at the end of each quarter. Didn't Peregrine Pharmaceuticals (PPHM - Get Report) raise money through an ATM facility last spring? Yes, Peregrine executives were talking publicly about the greatness of its lung cancer drug bavituximab, while in private, the company was selling millions of shares of stock for pennies through its ATM facility. We know how the Peregrine story turned out. Hemispherx is borrowing from the Peregrine playbook. You mean, Hemispherx shouldn't be raising money now if the company has confidence in Ampligen? Exactly. An FDA advisory panel is scheduled to review the chronic fatigue syndrome drug Ampligen on Dec. 20. Presumably, a positive panel vote will push Hemispherx shares much higher than where they trade today. Yet, Hemispherx is rushing to raise money now. That's not a good sign. Maybe Hemispherx wants to raise a small amount of money now and then plans to raise more money later, hopefully at a higher share price if the Ampligen panel votes to recommend approval. Perhaps, but then investors won't know when Hemispherx sells more stock because the ATM facility is so opaque. Hemispherx's ATM authorizes the sale of 40 million shares. With just under 11 million shares sold through Oct. 1, the company has 29 million shares remaining to sell. And remember, Hemispherx received shareholder authorization to use those 40 million shares for financing activities on Sept. 18. The company didn't waste any time before starting to sell stock. Small-cap biotech companies dilute shareholders all the time. Hemispherx needs money to develop Ampligen. Ha! That's funny. The FDA rejected Ampligen as a chronic fatigue syndrome therapy in late 2009. Yet for the past three years, Hemispherx has done nothing to advance Ampligen, including refusing to run a new clinical trial that FDA asked for. Hemispherx has plenty of cash to develop Ampligen. The problem is that management is hoarding cash to pay its outrageously high salaries, not to spend on Ampligen.PHILADELPHIA (

Human spirit
Eveoke Dance Theatre's "Agape"
8 p.m. Friday and Saturday; 2:30 p.m. Sunday. 10th Avenue Theatre & Arts Centre, 930 10th Ave., downtown. $25 general admission; $15 student and seniors. eveoke.org
Ask artistic director Ericka Aisha Moore to describe Eveoke Dance Theatre's current production, "Agape," with one word and she'll tell you it's "anchored" — "anchored in love, compassion, strength, and the power of Martin Luther King Jr.'s voice and message." That's because "the show is inspired by Martin Luther King Jr.'s speeches and his six principles of nonviolent action," says Moore, adding that she hopes "the audience leaves this show with a deeper appreciation of Martin Luther King Jr., and through this, appreciate a greater understanding of the enduring power of the human spirit to get through the most trying times." This is the last weekend to see "Agape," which opened two weeks ago.

The training team brings together a wealth of industry experience and knowledge of the learning process to deliver high-quality training programmes.
Last year, the Chamber delivered courses on 64 subjects over 254 training days to over 2,000 delegates.
We are also helping an average of 100 candidates to study towards a Modern Apprenticeship or Scottish Vocational Qualification at any one time.
Research shows that investing in training your employees can bring an increase in productivity, motivation, higher customer satisfaction and directly benefit the bottom line profit.
We can tailor a programme for your needs, incorporating your company objectives and values, along with any additional topics to complement the core delivery.
"We have been a member of the Chamber for several years now and they have delivered many courses over the years.
They have a good selection of courses which they can tailor to your company's specific needs if required as well as conducting the training in-house which is extremely good and more efficient for management.
I would have no hesitation in recommending the Chamber to all."Lynette Milligan, UK learning and development manager, Archer UK Ltd
Over 98% of our delegates would recommend their course.
Vocational Qualifications
The opportunity to achieve work-based qualifications increases individuals' occupational knowledge and skills.
Scottish Vocational Qualifications relate to a candidate's practical ability to work in real conditions and to a degree of competence over time.
There are no tests or exams, and competence is assessed in the candidate's own workplace.
"Since completing my SVQ4, I feel a much better-rounded manager and feel I now have a more solid background of knowledge and skills to utilise in my role.
In turn, I have taken on much more responsibilities for my role and my overall standard of performance as duty manager has improved."Marc Robertson, duty manager, Aberdeen Sports Village

Hi! What school supplies does my soon to be Kindergarten student need? Got the back pack and lunch cooler.
Hi! What school supplies does my soon to be Kindergarten student need? Got the back pack and lunch cooler.
~ Wife to a wonderful hubby
~ Mommy to our awesome 1st grader
it all depends on your school. there should be a list provided by the school. mine needed markers, crayons, pencils, water colors, glue, scissors, folders, nap mat, clorox wipes and kleenex.
You should contact the school for their supply list. Some even have them on line on the school's website.
Over the hill mom to my adorable devils:
Tyler 5/9/06 (Dyslexia, LD, ADHD) and Blake 10/29/07 (Autism, ADHD, SPD and ODD, what a mess)

IF you can't find a list, then you may not be expected to bring school supplies. Different places have different requirements.
Heck, the Kansas CIty Missouri school district gives every elementary student a backpack full of supplies on the first day.
We didn't need anything - backpack, lunch bag and indoor shoes was it. But they told us about what to bring (and what not too) at K orientation. I'm sure you could call the school if you're not sure or it's not listed on the website.
Will - April 2006
John - November 2008
(formerly Will'sMom_2006)
If you can't find a list on their website or at local stores (typically Target and Walmart and Office Depot post the local school's lists) then call the school to ask what is needed.
Mom to a fabulous 10 year old!
I bought what was on the Office Depot (aka Staples in Canada) list. He needed zip, zero, none of it. A back pack, lunch bag, towel for quiet time and indoor shoes were it.

NATO has recently had one of its regular meetings of the "Military Committee" in Victoria, B.C., Canada, with appropriate demonstrations against it for Canada's role within NATO and Afghanistan. Phil Lyons, the organizer of the demonstration, which ended peacefully, says "NATO is now a weapon of American Imperialists." Another demonstrator asks, "I don't understand why NATO exists," then answers his own question, perhaps without realizing it, that "NATO is a war tool the West uses to intimidate other nations into submission." [1]
They are correct regardless of the high-sounding rhetoric that emanates from the government about international humanitarian rights and the war on terrorism.
NATO as it currently stands has a dual command structure, SACT and SACEUR.
SACT is the acronym for the Supreme Allied Commander Transformation, the transformation being that of making NATO forces into a U.S. styled rapid deployment force anywhere in the world. SACT will be dual-hatted (meaning the same guy has both positions) as Commander, US Joint Forces Command. This one person is U.S. Air Force Gen. Lance L. Smith, who is headquartered in Norfolk Virginia. SACEUR is the acronym for Supreme Allied Command Europe and is be dual-hatted as Commander, US European Command, General John Craddock, United States Army who is appointed by the US President. His headquarters are in Mons, Belgium.
It should be obvious that NATO is led by the U.S. military. With its current role involved with the powers of the American empire in unilateral pre-emptive actions that generally work against international law, yes, NATO is nothing but an extension of that empire, a tool of the corporate-military structure that is part and parcel of the American government.
The Military Committee's role is defined as: "In times of crises, tension or war, and in relation to military operations undertaken by the Alliance such as its role in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo and Afghanistan, its role is to advise the Council or Defence Planning Committee of the military situation and its implications, and to make recommendations on the use of military force, the implementation of contingency plans and the development of appropriate rules of engagement."
Of course there is little that is defensive about NATO's current role, having used uninvited force in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo, and while they may have been 'invited' into Afghanistan, it was under an established puppet government led by a compromised Hamid Karzai. The NATO treaty does say that the signatory countries "seek to promote stability and well-being in the North Atlantic area," a definition which is pushed to the extreme with the former Yugoslavia and is absurd with Afghanistan. In addition the NATO treaty indicates "The Parties to this Treaty reaffirm their faith in the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and their desire to live in peace with all peoples and all governments." [2]
The UN Charter states in part, "In the event of a conflict between the obligations of the Members of the United Nations under the present Charter and their obligations under any other international agreement, their obligations under the present Charter shall prevail." Therefore any obligations and rules and regulations established under the UN prevail over anything that NATO decides, or at least it is supposed to.
As the UN Charter "prevails over all other treaties…countries cannot exempt themselves from the provisions of the UN Charter, which include…the international rules governing recourse to military force."[3] These international rules have developed over time through various treaties, charters, agreements, and conventions or through customary law involving the wide acceptance of a rule by a clear global majority. International humanitarian intervention in the form of military force is not an accepted concept of international law, and even if it was, cannot over-ride article 2(4) of the Charter that says "Members shall refrain…from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations." It would seem that NATO's "recommendations on the use of military force" and "its development of appropriate rules of engagement" would be completely over-ridden by the UN Charter.
The Afghanistan occupation is not counter to the political independence of the state (recognizing that it is a puppet government established under U.S. auspices and controlling very little of Afghanistan); and it does have Security Council authorization (it fits somehow under the "mandate" of the "International Security Assistance Force" but is not recognized in its own right, an after the fact recognition of its actions): leading to the observation that the presence of Canada's military in Afghanistan is within international law. [4]
As for self-defence, "Nothing…shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security."[5] This has been done, yet problems still remain under international law and with the 'moral' basis for the war.
Canada's own elected representatives and military leadership promote Canada's military action in Afghanistan to support the U.S. under the pretext of humanitarian intervention. However, "the significance of humanitarian concerns to the international law on the recourse to force remains at the level of political will" and can not "be considered to have acquired legal force."[6] Also, the Canadian government advocates its pro-democratic intervention role, but use of force for that is prohibited under the UN Charter as well.
Canada's role, as an occupying force under international law, contains other concerns along with the above: the treatment of prisoners of war; the destruction of civilian structures (they've built some roads, but what about the farms and houses that have been destroyed?); the 'rendition' or transfer of prisoners to the Afghan forces (this issue came to light recently but was quickly dropped by the media once they were reassured that Canada had access to "its" prisoners); and the care and safety of the occupied population.
NATO's role in Afghanistan, while ostensibly under UN approval, is in reality under U.S. command. Canada and NATO have accepted U.S. command, and are faithfully performing their empirical duties in Afghanistan. While Canadian government rhetoric has been about rebuilding Afghanistan, the reality on the ground is about battling an insurgency, that good or bad, is a native insurgency. Again, while the rhetoric is about rebuilding a democratic Afghanistan, the ultimate purpose of American geopolitical strategy in the region is to control the oil and gas supplies and routes from the Caspian Basin and guard against Russian and Chinese control of the same.
Counter to that, elements within Pakistan are calling for all foreign forces to leave Afghanistan in order that Pakistan can negotiate for peace, following on the success of a recent peace 'jirga'. The Afghan government itself has called for recognition of the Taliban as political players within the Afghani government, as have several domestic U.S. sources. For Canada to continue in its role as occupier and aggressor within Afghanistan is fully counterproductive to both reconstruction and the war on terror.
Reconstruction will not occur within a circle of military battles that can never win the war, and only cause more civilian deaths and recruit more people to the anti-occupation forces. At the same time that the NATO meeting was taking place in Victoria, Canadian troops were fighting in Helmand Province to retake positions they had "taken" previously. If Canada wants a long war, they have certainly found the right environment for one.
Always, apart from the legalities, it is a useless endeavour to invade another country and try to impose one's own version of the 'white man's burden' upon the indigenous population. The reality behind that pretext is a combination of two main forces. The first force is racism - a creation of the 'other' whose life has no value as they do not embrace our own beautific moral standards and self-aggrandizing democracy. The second forces are those of capitalist imperialism, the fullest extension of corporate neoliberalism and its desire for control of resources and labour.
The war on terror will never be won by invading and destroying governments and civilian infrastructures, or by supporting unwanted puppet governments, but by using international investigative forces and international courts – which of course leads to the obvious that if foreign forces would go home, the war on terror would diminish significantly as its antagonizing force would be gone. The arguments for democracy, for making the world a safer place, for protecting Canada, for trying to prevent a civil war, for countering terrorism, for rebuilding Afghanistan, or for honouring those who have already died by not cutting and running,[7] do not stand up to common sense and moral scrutiny any more than they do international legalities.
A true democracy, actually asking the people of the country what they desire and then abiding by their wishes – and not using a contrived idealism of morality and democracy – will go a long way to create a safer, more culturally diverse and healthy and equal world.
Canada should get out of Afghanistan. Canada should get out of NATO. If the countries involved wished to truly be independent actors and thinkers, then NATO itself should be disbanded – it has long outlived its original purpose and is now being used as another force for American empire.

text: Is the economic meltdown affecting our appetite for ridiculously overpriced stale popcorn? The Hollywood Reporter says yes -- as two theater chain operators are reporting lower concession sales in the third quarter. We, on the other hand, have another take on this story. If theater operators want to increase their concession sales, they need to convince Hollywood to start making movies more appealing to people who like to eat a lot. We're not saying we need a remake of Big Night, Dinner Rush, or any of the many other food flicks that have done anemic box-office over the years -- but would it be so hard to mix a pie fight into Quantum of Solace instead of just another shoot-out?

The Growl: My New Year's Resolution
My New Year's Resolution
People make New Year's resolutions because they want to accomplish something. A New Year's resolution is like a commitment that people make.
Some people might want to lose weight or play with their kids more. Usually, anything they want to do for the new year is a resolution. People do different things, and so can you.
My New Year's resolution is to learn more and get a good education. I want to learn all subjects even though I like reading and math. I want to get good grades and keep a happy face. I want to go to Aiken Technical College just like my mom did. I am going to try my best at what I do.
To continue my New Year's resolution, I will listen and follow directions 24/7. I will try to improve on anything that I have trouble with. I will make sure to concentrate and focus. This will help me do better and get good grades. I will help kids with homework. When I get a good education, I can teach anyone. I hope that my New Year's resolution follows through because I bet my mom and dad will be proud.
