We have two kids. The first had 3 rounds of vaccines, we stopped them just before he was 4. The second has never had a vaccine.Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2815100
Without a doubt our non-vaccinated child is much less trouble, hardly ever gets sick (or recovers in a day or two while other family members take weeks), and seems more intelligent and confident.
What a gross thing to say about your kids
What is gross here? The FACT that the unvaccinated kid is more healthy then the other one, and if the parents knew they wouldn't vaccinate the first one? Is anybody thinking strait here?
Well she is pretty much saying one kid is better then the other.. Not really a nice thing to say, and something i would never say about my kids.
Both my boys are vaccinated and they are both healthy. When they get the flu one of my sons usually gets sicker then the other, just the way he is, nothing to do with vaccines.
Oh please, you have someone giving first hand evidence about the people they know best in the world, their kids. Since the kids are not identified, there's no embarrasment of anyone. Are we not supposed to know our own kids' strengths and weaknesses?
Real parents don't think their kids are perfect, nor that they are perfect.
Many people have said the same about their kids, they believe the "system" until something very much like cause-and-effect damaged one of their kids, typically the first -- and the parents acted to avert further damage to that and future kids.

Great thread Mop, as usu. The second vaccine pin in a week. Kudos.
Looks like the shills are starting to chime in, starting on P. 3.

the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic.

Are they still pushing Gardasil?Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28008747
Last I remember they had backed off a bit requiring it for girls, then some were talking about requiring it for boys too, not for any medical need, but because otherwise it would be "unfair".
Nothing is too insane for the gov. to think of forcing us to do these days.
Yes they are. They are telling girls who go in for a sports physical that the Gardisil shot is required.
Sports physical? It has nothing to do with sports! A female is no more likely to get cervical cancer in that way because she plays sports, nor is it contagious afaik ... this makes zero sense.
I've had nurses tell me nonsense like that vaccines are required, but not doctors. Doctors talk to me with respect and don't lie to me, that's my experience fwiw.
Or, is the school refusing to let girls play sports unless they show a Gardasil vaccination?
I assume a religious exemption would overcome that, but even the kids getting the other vaccinations should not be getting Gardasil, it can cause sterility!

Well, and one kid is taller than the other one, or better in math, or better in sports. Is not if one is better than the other one, these are straight facts, obvious facts that everyone can see it like it or not.

Was quarantined by Oregon state health officials as a child after developing Rubella post-vaccination back in 1979. Was the only case of Rubella in my state. Parents were asked a whole lot of questions like whether I had been taken outside of the country, to the airport, etc etc. In the end, the source of my case of rubella was a medical mystery since, when I had my children, I had pediatrician after pediatrician inform me that there has never been an instance where the vaccine caused the illness. I told them to look at MY medical records because I'm proof that that is a lie.
The response: They gave my children killed (deactivated) virus vaccines as our family is apparently "anomalous" because of my developing rubella from vaccination. The one vaccine that was not deactivated was the chicken pox vaccine that the school forced me to have my children get.
Both of my children developed chicken pox within the proper incubation period afterwards so that makes three instances in one family where those vaccinated were given the disease. Apparently, my family doesn't count. They do lie.

Yup.Quoting: Captain Spaulding 14886957
i know a girl here who lives with her sister and brother-in-law. She's 54, like me, and none of them have been sick for years. The girl hasn't had the flu since the 90's. All three of them are down with the flu right now. AND THEY STILL WON'T BELIEVE ME when I tell them what's in the crap and how it makes you sick?!
People WANT to believe what THEY WANT TO BELIEVE. If the doctor says "get a shot", they get a shot.
I started a new doctor (huge mistake) and the snotty assistant, half my age, asked "if I had my flu shot YET? I told her my beliefs and she rolled her eyes at me like I was stupid. Then the nurse practitioner said "I was immature".
Really great medical system we got here. 37th from the bottom of 191 countries. Go figger.
I am 34-years-old, I have never had a flu shot, I no longer get fevers, and every year my colds are more mild than the year before, because I eat healthy food and nature makes my body strong.
Don't put your faith in human beings.

Freedom of Information Act in the UK filed by a doctor there has revealed 30 years of secret official documents showing that government experts have
1. Known the vaccines don't work
2. Known they cause the diseases they are supposed to prevent
3. Known they are a hazard to children
4. Colluded to lie to the public
5. Worked to prevent safety studies
Those are the same vaccines that are mandated to children in the US.
Educated parents can either get their children out of harm's way or continue living inside one of the largest most evil lies in history, that vaccines – full of heavy metals, viral diseases, mycoplasma, fecal material, DNA fragments from other species, formaldehyde, polysorbate 80 (a sterilizing agent) – are a miracle of modern medicine.
Freedom of Information Act filed in the US with the CDC by a doctor with an autistic son, seeking information on what the CDC knows about the dangers of vaccines, had by law to be responded to in 20 days. Nearly 7 years later, the doctor went to court and the CDC argued it does not have to turn over documents. A judge ordered the CDC to turn over the documents on September 30th, 2011.
On October 26, 2011, a Denver Post editorial expressed shock that the Obama administration, after promising to be especially transparent, was proposing changes to the Freedom of Information Act that would allow it to go beyond declaring some documents secret and to actually allow government agencies (such as the CDC) to declare some document "non-existent."
Simultaneous to this on-going massive CDC cover up involving its primary "health" not recommendation but MANDATE for American children, the CDC is in deep trouble over its decades of covering up the damaging effects of fluoride and affecting the lives of all Americans, especially children and the immune compromised. Lawsuits are being prepared. Children are ingesting 3-4 times more fluoride by body weight as adults and "[t]he sheer number of potentially harmed citizens — persons with dental fluorosis, kidney patients tipped into needing dialysis, diabetics, thyroid patients, etc — numbers in the millions."
THE DRUG AND PHARMEUCITCAL Cartel was orchestrated by the Rockerfellers and oppenheimers.THEY both SET UP THE AMERICAN MEDICAL SCHOOLS WITH THEIR CURUICULUM PUSHING ALL MANUFACTURED DRUGS AND THE PATENTS while suppressing simple cheap cures.THEY THEN CONCLUDED THAT ANYTHING NATURAL THAT CURES CANNOT BE PATENTED AND IF ANYONE SHOULD CURE SOMEONE WITHOUT A PATENTED DRUG IT IS AGAINST THE LAW AND WILL BE CRIMINALLY CHARGED
1 But these took this counsel among themselves, that they would leave the multitude of the heathen, and go forth into a further country, where never mankind dwelt,
42 That they might there keep their statutes, which they never kept in their own land.
43 And they entered into Euphrates by the narrow places of the river.
44 For the most High then shewed signs for them, and held still the flood, till they were passed over.
45 For through that country there was a great way to go, namely, of a year and a half: and the same region is called Arsareth.
46 Then dwelt they there until the latter time; and now when they shall begin to come,

Vaccinated student infected with whooping cough
"Vaccines are not 100 percent guaranteed, but they are the best tool we have to protect the community," said Kendra Findley with the Springfield-Greene County Health Department.
The Willard student did receive the vaccination. Health officials say even though the vaccine did not prevent the illness for this student, it likely lessened symptoms. This does not mean an increased chance of contracting whooping cough for others.
"I don't think that an individual would be at higher risk because they are in an area where an immunized person became ill. I don't think that's the case at all. There are so many factors that go into a vaccine working," said Findley.

Funny this should come up today. Just had a huge argument with my gf(in med school) and her mom (a doctor) about the dangers of Aluminum in vaccines for kids under the age of 1. Of course I got mocked for going against common teachings. I kept telling them that it has nothing to do with them or their profession, I just don't trust the people who make their curriculum. Of course then I just came across as crazy. Anyway, I really do wish this deception would end but I don't have much hope for that outcome.Quoting: Jento

I'm glad this information is getting out. One of my coworkers was actually excited to shoot up her daughter last year with the flu vaccine. Half a year later she's being tested for autism.Quoting: black calx
My son was diagnosed with autism at 2 1/2 years old. I first noticed the change in him after the MMR shot. There is no one who can convince me that the MMR is safe. After his diagnosis in 1997, I read all that I could on autism and its causes. I started decreasing milk and bread, increasing garlic and other natural chelating herbs. I continued this for years, and he improved. He is classified as Aspergers, but has never needed any modifications. Today, my son is 17 years old and doing well. He has some communication difficulties, particularly with social cues, but his mind is phenomenal. He is a math and science wiz and will graduate in the top 10% of his class in June 2013. Tell your co-worker not to give up hope if her daughter is autistic...there are many things that can help.
There is another very famous autistic child who is 14 now and teaches at some college. I think he did high school math in 48 hours so he could sit in at some lecture at the college.
His mother trains others now. The same thing you are doing is what makes him special. They have to learn to control the cause of their wandering mind. Once they can focus on something they like it allows them to relax. 10% become savants. I know of about 10 off hand under 20 YO.
This could become epidemic so your research and techniques could help many more in the future. Good luck.

Jon Rappoport interview of ex vaccine researcher
Q: You were once certain that vaccines were the hallmark of good medicine.
A: Yes I was. I helped develop a few vaccines. I won't say which ones.
Q: Why not?
A: I want to preserve my privacy.
Q: So you think you could have problems if you came out into the open?
A: I believe I could lose my pension.
Q: On what grounds?
A: The grounds don't matter. These people have ways of causing you problems, when you were once part of the Club. I know one or two people who were put under surveillance, who were harassed.
Q: Harassed by whom?
A: The FBI.
Q: Really?
A: Sure. The FBI used other pretexts. And the IRS can come calling too.
Q: So much for free speech.
A: I was "part of the inner circle." If now I began to name names and make specific accusations against researchers, I could be in a world of trouble.
Q: What is at the bottom of these efforts at harassment?
A: Vaccines are the last defense of modern medicine. Vaccines are the ultimate justification for the overall "brilliance" of modern medicine.
Q: Do you believe that people should be allowed to choose whether they should get vaccines?
A: On a political level, yes. On a scientific level, people need information, so that they can choose well. It's one thing to say choice is good. But if the atmosphere is full of lies, how can you choose? Also, if the FDA were run by honorable people, these vaccines would not be granted licenses. They would be investigated to within an inch of their lives.
Q: There are medical historians who state that the overall decline of illnesses was not due to vaccines.
A: I know. For a long time, I ignored their work.
Q: Why?
A: Because I was afraid of what I would find out. I was in the business of developing vaccines. My livelihood depended on continuing that work.
Q: And then?
A: I did my own investigation.
Q: What conclusions did you come to?
A: The decline of disease is due to improved living conditions.
Q: What conditions?
A: Cleaner water. Advanced sewage systems. Nutrition. Fresher food. A decrease in poverty. Germs may be everywhere, but when you are healthy, you don't contract the diseases as easily.
Q: What did you feel when you completed your own investigation?
A: Despair. I realized I was working a sector based on a collection of lies.
Q: Are some vaccines more dangerous than others?
A: Yes. The DPT shot, for example. The MMR. But some lots of a vaccine are more dangerous than other lots of the same vaccine. As far as I'm concerned, all vaccines are dangerous.
Q: Why?
A: Several reasons. They involve the human immune system in a process that tends to compromise immunity. They can actually cause the disease they are supposed to prevent. They can cause other diseases than the ones they are supposed to prevent.
Q: Why are we quoted statistics which seem to prove that vaccines have been tremendously successful at wiping out diseases?
A: Why? To give the illusion that these vaccines are useful. If a vaccine suppresses visible symptoms of a disease like measles, everyone assumes that the vaccine is a success. But, under the surface, the vaccine can harm the immune system itself. And if it causes other diseases -- say, meningitis -- that fact is masked, because no one believes that the vaccine can do that. The connection is overlooked.
Q: It is said that the smallpox vaccine wiped out smallpox in England.
A: Yes. But when you study the available statistics, you get another picture.
Q: Which is?
A: There were cities in England where people who were not vaccinated did not get smallpox. There were places where people who were vaccinated experienced smallpox epidemics. And smallpox was already on the decline before the vaccine was introduced.
Q: So you're saying that we have been treated to a false history.
A: Yes. That's exactly what I'm saying. This is a history that has been cooked up to convince people that vaccines are invariably safe and effective.
Q: Now, you worked in labs. Where purity was an issue.
A: The public believes that these labs, these manufacturing facilities are the cleanest places in the world. That is not true. Contamination occurs all the time. You get all sorts of debris introduced into vaccines.
Q: For example, the SV40 monkey virus slips into the polio vaccine.
A: Well yes, that happened. But that's not what I mean. The SV40 got into the polio vaccine because the vaccine was made by using monkey kidneys. But I'm talking about something else. The actual lab conditions. The mistakes. The careless errors. SV40, which was later found in cancer tumors -- that was what I would call a structural problem. It was an accepted part of the manufacturing process. If you use monkey kidneys, you open the door to germs which you don't know are in those kidneys.
Q: Okay, but let's ignore that distinction between different types of contaminants for a moment. What contaminants did you find in your many years of work with vaccines?
A: All right. I'll give you some of what I came across, and I'll also give you what colleagues of mine found. Here's a partial list. In the Rimavex measles vaccine, we found various chicken viruses. In polio vaccine, we found acanthamoeba, which is a so-called "brain-eating" amoeba.
Simian cytomegalovirus in polio vaccine. Simian foamy virus in the rotavirus vaccine. Bird-cancer viruses in the MMR vaccine. Various micro-organisms in the anthrax vaccine. I've found potentially dangerous enzyme inhibitors in several vaccines. Duck, dog, and rabbit viruses in the rubella vaccine. Avian leucosis virus in the flu vaccine. Pestivirus in the MMR vaccine.
Q: Let me get this straight. These are all contaminants which don't belong in the vaccines.
A: That's right. And if you try to calculate what damage these contaminants can cause, well, we don't really know, because no testing has been done, or very little testing. It's a game of roulette. You take your chances. Also, most people don't know that some polio vaccines, adenovirus vaccines, rubella and hep A and measles vaccines have been made with aborted human fetal tissue. I have found what I believed were bacterial fragments and poliovirus in these vaccines from time to time -- which may have come from that fetal tissue. When you look for contaminants in vaccines, you can come up with material that IS puzzling. You know it shouldn't be there, but you don't know exactly what you've got. I have found what I believed was a very small "fragment" of human hair and also human mucus. I have found what can only be called "foreign protein," which could mean almost anything. It could mean protein from viruses.
Q: Alarm bells are ringing all over the place.
A: How do you think I felt? Remember, this material is going into the bloodstream without passing through some of the ordinary immune defenses.
Q: How were your findings received?
A: Basically, it was, don't worry, this can't be helped. In making vaccines, you use various animals' tissue, and that's where this kind of contamination enters in. Of course, I'm not even mentioning the standard chemicals like formaldehyde, mercury, and aluminum which are purposely put into vaccines.
Q: This information is pretty staggering.
A: Yes. And I'm just mentioning some of the biological contaminants. Who knows how many others there are? Others we don't find because we don't think to look for them. If tissue from, say, a bird is used to make a vaccine, how many possible germs can be in that tissue? We have no idea.We have no idea what they might be, or what effects they could have on humans.
Q: And beyond the purity issue?
A: You are dealing with the basic faulty premise about vaccines. That they intricately stimulate the immune system to create the conditions for immunity from disease. That is the bad premise. It doesn't work that way. A vaccine is supposed to "create" antibodies which, indirectly, offer protection against disease. However, the immune system is much larger and more involved than antibodies and their related "killer cells."
Q: The immune system is?
A: The entire body, really. Plus the mind. It's all immune system, you might say. That is why you can have, in the middle of an epidemic, those individuals who remain healthy.
Q: So the level of general health is important.
A: More than important. Vital.
Q: How are vaccine statistics falsely presented?
A: There are many ways. For example, suppose that 25 people who have received the hepatitis B vaccine come down with hepatitis. Well, hep B is a liver disease. But you can call liver disease many things. You can change the diagnosis. Then, you've concealed the root cause of the problem.
Q: And that happens?
A: All the time. It HAS to happen, if the doctors automatically assume that people who get vaccines DO NOT come down with the diseases they are now supposed to be protected from. And that is exactly what doctors assume. You see, it's circular reasoning. It's a closed system. It admits no fault. No possible fault. If a person who gets a vaccine against hepatitis gets hepatitis, or gets some other disease, the automatic assumption is, this had nothing to do with the vaccine.
Q: In your years working in the vaccine establishment, how many doctors did you encounter who admitted that vaccines were a problem?
A: None. There were a few who privately questioned what they were doing. But they would never go public, even within their companies.
Q: What was the turning point for you?
A: I had a friend whose baby died after a DPT shot.
Q: Did you investigate?
A: Yes, informally. I found that this baby was completely healthy before the vaccination. There was no reason for his death, except the vaccine. That started my doubts. Of course, I wanted to believe that the baby had gotten a bad shot from a bad lot. But as I looked into this further, I found that was not the case in this instance. I was being drawn into a spiral of doubt that increased over time. I continued to investigate. I found that, contrary to what I thought, vaccines are not tested in a scientific way.
Q: What do you mean?
A: For example, no long-term studies are done on any vaccines. Long-term follow-up is not done in any careful way. Why? Because, again, the assumption is made that vaccines do not cause problems. So why should anyone check? On top of that, a vaccine reaction is defined so that all bad reactions are said to occur very soon after the shot is given. But that does not make sense.
Q: Why doesn't it make sense?
A: Because the vaccine obviously acts in the body for a long period of time after it is given. A reaction can be gradual. Deterioration can be gradual. Neurological problems can develop over time. They do in various conditions, even according to a conventional analysis. So why couldn't that be the case with vaccines? If chemical poisoning can occur gradually, why couldn't that be the case with a vaccine which contains mercury?
Q: And that is what you found?
A: Yes. You are dealing with correlations, most of the time.Correlations are not perfect. But if you get 500 parents whose children have suffered neurological damage during a one-year period after having a vaccine, this should be sufficient to spark off an intense investigation.
Q: Has it been enough?
A: No. Never. This tells you something right away.
Q: Which is?
A: The people doing the investigation are not really interested in looking at the facts. They assume that the vaccines are safe. So, when they do investigate, they invariably come up with exonerations of the vaccines. They say, "This vaccine is safe." But what do they base those judgments on? They base them on definitions and ideas which automatically rule out a condemnation of the vaccine.
Q: There are numerous cases where a vaccine campaign has failed. Where people have come down with the disease against which they were vaccinated.
A: Yes, there are many such instances. And there the evidence is simply ignored. It's discounted. The experts say, if they say anything at all, that this is just an isolated situation, but overall the vaccine has been shown to be safe. But if you add up all the vaccine campaigns where damage and disease have occurred, you realize that these are NOT isolated situations.
Q: Did you ever discuss what we are talking about here with colleagues, when you were still working in the vaccine establishment?
A: Yes I did.
Q: What happened?
A: Several times I was told to keep quiet. It was made clear that I should go back to work and forget my misgivings. On a few occasions, I encountered fear. Colleagues tried to avoid me. They felt they could be labeled with "guilt by association." All in all, though, I behaved myself.I made sure I didn't create problems for myself.
Q: If vaccines actually do harm, why are they given?
A: First of all, there is no "if." They do harm. It becomes a more difficult question to decide whether they do harm in those people who seem to show no harm. Then you are dealing with the kind of research which should be done, but isn't. Researchers should be probing to discover a kind of map, or flow chart, which shows exactly what vaccines do in the body from the moment they enter. This research has not been done. As to why they are given, we could sit here for two days and discuss all the reasons. As you've said many times, at different layers of the system people have their motives. Money, fear of losing a job, the desire to win brownie points, prestige, awards, promotion, misguided idealism, unthinking habit, and so on. But, at the highest levels of the medical cartel, vaccines are a top priority because they cause a weakening of the immune system. I know that may be hard to accept, but it's true. The medical cartel, at the highest level, is not out to help people, it is out to harm them, to weaken them. To kill them. At one point in my career, I had a long conversation with a man who occupied a high government position in an African nation. He told me that he was well aware of this. He told me that WHO is a front for these depopulation interests. There is an underground, shall we say, in Africa, made up of various officials who are earnestly trying to change the lot of the poor. This network of people knows what is going on. They know that vaccines have been used, and are being used, to destroy their countries, to make them ripe for takeover by globalist powers. I have had the opportunity to speak with several of these people from this network.
Q: Is Thabo Mbeki, the president of South Africa, aware of the situation?
A: I would say he is partially aware. Perhaps he is not utterly convinced, but he is on the way to realizing the whole truth. He already knows that HIV is a hoax. He knows that the AIDS drugs are poisons which destroy the immune system. He also knows that if he speaks out, in any way, about the vaccine issue, he will be branded a lunatic. He has enough trouble after his stand on the AIDS issue.
Q: This network you speak of.
A: It has accumulated a huge amount of information about vaccines. The question is, how is a successful strategy going to be mounted? For these people, that is a difficult issue.
Q: And in the industrialized nations?
A: The medical cartel has a stranglehold, but it is diminishing. Mainly because people have the freedom to question medicines. However, if the choice issue [the right to take or reject any medicine] does not gather steam, these coming mandates about vaccines against biowarefare germs are going to win out. This is an important time.
Q: The furor over the hepatits B vaccine seems one good avenue.
A: I think so, yes. To say that babies must have the vaccine-and then in the next breath, admitting that a person gets hep B from sexual contacts and shared needles -- is a ridiculous juxtaposition. Medical authorities try to cover themselves by saying that 20,000 or so children in the US get hep B every year from "unknown causes," and that's why every baby must have the vaccine. I dispute that 20,00 figure and the so-called studies that back it up.
Q: Andrew Wakefield, the British MD who uncovered the link between the MMR vaccine and autism, has just been fired from his job in a London hospital.
A: Yes. Wakefield performed a great service. His correlations between the vaccine and autism are stunning. Perhaps you know that Tony Blair's wife is involved with alternative health. There is the possibility that their child has not been given the MMR. Blair recently side-stepped the question in press interviews, and made it seem that he was simply objecting to invasive questioning of his "personal and family life." In any event, I believe his wife has been muzzled. I think, if given the chance, she would at least say she is sympathetic to all the families who have come forward and stated that their children were severely damaged by the MMR.
Q: British reporters should try to get through to her.
A: They have been trying. But I think she has made a deal with her husband to keep quiet, no matter what. She could do a great deal of good if she breaks her promise. I have been told she is under pressure, and not just from her husband. At the level she occupies, MI6 and British health authorities get into the act. It is thought of as a matter of national security.
Q: Well, it is national security, once you understand the medical cartel.
A: It is global security. The cartel operates in every nation. It zealously guards the sanctity of vaccines. Questioning these vaccines is on the same level as a Vatican bishop questioning the sanctity of the sacrament of the Eucharist in the Catholic Church.
Q: I know that a Hollywood celebrity stating publicly that he will not take a vaccine is committing career suicide.
A: Hollywood is linked very powerfully to the medical cartel. There are several reasons, but one of them is simply that an actor who is famous can draw a huge amount of publicity if he says ANYTHING. In 1992, I was present at your demonstration against the FDA in downtown Los Angeles. One or two actors spoke against the FDA. Since that time, you would be hard pressed to find an actor who has spoken out in any way against the medical cartel.
Q: Within the National Institutes of Health, what is the mood, what is the basic frame of mind?
A: People are competing for research monies. The last thing they think about is challenging the status quo. They are already in an intramural war for that money. They don't need more trouble. This is a very insulated system. It depends on the idea that, by and large, modern medicine is very successful on every frontier. To admit systemic problems in any area is to cast doubt on the whole enterprise. You might therefore think that NIH is the last place one should think about holding demonstrations. But just the reverse is true. If five thousand people showed up there demanding an accounting of the actual benefits of that research system, demanding to know what real health benefits have been conferred on the public from the billions of wasted dollars funneled to that facility, something might start. A spark might go off. You might get, with further demonstrations, all sorts of fall-out. Researchers -- a few -- might start leaking information.
Q: A good idea.
A: People in suits standing as close to the buildings as the police will allow. People in business suits, in jogging suits, mothers and babies. Well-off people. Poor people. All sorts of people.
Q: What about the combined destructive power of a number of vaccines given to babies these days?
A: It is a travesty and a crime. There are no real studies of any depth which have been done on that. Again, the assumption is made that vaccines are safe, and therefore any number of vaccines given together are safe as well. But the truth is, vaccines are not safe. Therefore the potential damage increases when you give many of them in a short time period.
Q: Then we have the fall flu season.
A: Yes. As if only in the autumn do these germs float in to the US from Asia. The public swallows that premise. If it happens in April, it is a bad cold. If it happens in October, it is the flu.
Q: Do you regret having worked all those years in the vaccine field?
A: Yes. But after this interview, I'll regret it a little less. And I work in other ways. I give out information to certain people, when I think they will use it well.
Q: What is one thing you want the public to understand?
A: That the burden of proof in establishing the safety and efficacy of vaccines is on the people who manufacture and license them for public use. Just that. The burden of proof is not on you or me. And for proof you need well-designed long-term studies. You need extensive follow-up. You need to interview mothers and pay attention to what mothers say about their babies and what happens to them after vaccination. You need all these things. The things that are not there.
Q: The things that are not there.
A: Yes.
Q: To avoid any confusion, I'd like you to review, once more, the disease problems that vaccines can cause. Which diseases, how that happens.
A: We are basically talking about two potential harmful outcomes. One, the person gets the disease from the vaccine. He gets the disease which the vaccine is supposed to protect him from. Because, some version of the disease is in the vaccine to begin with. Or two, he doesn't get THAT disease, but at some later time, maybe right away, maybe not, he develops another condition which is caused by the vaccine. That condition could be autism, what's called autism, or it could be some other disease like meningitis. He could become mentally disabled.
Q: Is there any way to compare the relative frequency of these different outcomes?
A: No. Because the follow-up is poor. We can only guess. If you ask, out of a population of a hundred thousand children who get a measles vaccine, how many get the measles, and how many develop other problems from the vaccine, there is a no reliable answer. That is what I'm saying. Vaccines are superstitions. And with superstitions, you don't get facts you can use. You only get stories, most of which are designed to enforce the superstition. But, from many vaccine campaigns, we can piece together a narrative that does reveal some very disturbing things. People have been harmed. The harm is real, and it can be deep and it can mean death. The harm is NOT limited to a few cases, as we have been led to believe.In the US, there are groups of mothers who are testifying about autism and childhood vaccines. They are coming forward and standing up at meetings.They are essentially trying to fill in the gap that has been created by the researchers and doctors who turn their backs on the whole thing.
Q: Let me ask you this. If you took a child in, say, Boston and you raised that child with good nutritious food and he exercised every day and he was loved by his parents, and he didn't get the measles vaccine, what would be his health status compared with the average child in Boston who eats poorly and watches five hours of TV a day and gets the measles vaccine?
A: Of course there are many factors involved, but I would bet on the better health status for the first child. If he gets measles, if he gets it when he is nine, the chances are it will be much lighter than the measles the second child might get. I would bet on the first child every time.
Q: How long did you work with vaccines?
A: A long time. Longer than ten years.
Q: Looking back now, can you recall any good reason to say that vaccines are successful?
A: No, I can't. If I had a child now, the last thing I would allow is vaccination. I would move out of the state if I had to. I would change the family name. I would disappear. With my family. I'm not saying it would come to that. There are ways to sidestep the system with grace, if you know how to act. There are exemptions you can declare, in every state, based on religious and/or philosophic views. But if push came to shove, I would go on the move.
Q: And yet there are children everywhere who do get vaccines and appear to be healthy.
A: The operative word is "appear." What about all the children who can't focus on their studies? What about the children who have tantrums from time to time? What about the children who are not quite in possession of all their mental faculties? I know there are many causes for these things, but vaccines are one cause. I would not take the chance. I see no reason to take the chance. And frankly, I see no reason to allow the government to have the last word. Government medicine is, from my experience, often a contradiction in terms. You get one or the other, but not both.
Q: So we come to the level playing field.
A: Yes. Allow those who want the vaccines to take them. Allow the dissidents to decline to take them. But, as I said earlier, there is no level playing field if the field is strewn with lies. And when babies are involved, you have parents making all the decisions. Those parents need a heavy dose of truth. What about the child I spoke of who died from the DPT shot? What information did his parents act on? I can tell you it was heavily weighted. It was not real information.
Q: Medical PR people, in concert with the press, scare the hell out of parents with dire scenarios about what will happen if their kids don't get shots.
A: They make it seem a crime to refuse the vaccine. They equate it with bad parenting. You fight that with better information. It is always a challenge to buck the authorities. And only you can decide whether to do it. It is every person's responsibility to make up his mind. The medical cartel likes that bet. It is betting that the fear will win.
Dr. Mark Randall is the pseudonym of a vaccine researcher who worked for many years in the labs of major pharmaceutical houses and the US government's National Institutes of Health.
Mark retired during the last decade. He says he was "disgusted with what he discovered about vaccines."
As you know, since the beginning of nomorefakenews, I have been launching an attack against non-scientific and dangerous assertions about the safety and efficacy of vaccines.
Mark has been one of my sources.
He is a little reluctant to speak out, even under the cover of anonymity, but with the current push to make vaccines mandatory -- with penalties like quarantine lurking in the wings -- he has decided to break his silence.
He lives comfortably in retirement, but like many of my long-time sources, he has developed a conscience about his former work. Mark is well aware of the scope of the medical cartel and its goals of depopulation, mind control, and general debilitation of populations.

As a mother of a vaccine damaged child, it's about GD time this all comes out. I took on the CDC years ago, and I was told by a very well known dr in the vaccine world, all about the lies and cover ups. I contacted many politicians, and what I found out years ago? Would blow the minds away of many. I fought this system for years and I can attest, that vaccine damage is common & covered up. I've been told to be quiet & stand down, I never did. I never let any of "them" intimidate me, and that incensed them.
Do not let a physician guilt you or pressure you to vaccinate. Do your research, and make YOUR own informed decision.

Tuvimos algunos problemas a la llegada al supuesto apartamento reservado, pero rápidamente nos dieron una solución tanto por parte del anfitrión como por Wimdu. El problema fue que el apartamento no cumplía todas las condiciones contratadas y al parecer la agencia del destino (no es un particular sino una empresa de alojamiento) lo sabía, pues no nos puso ningún tipo de impedimento para cambiar de apartamento. Gracias a la profesionalidad del servicio de atención al cliente de Wimdu y a la rápida actuación pudimos disfrutar una increíble estancia en Cracovia.
It was great! Beautifull location and very friendly driver. Would definitely recommend
The apartment was clean and everything was working well, is really nice and it's just few meters from the main square so it was very easy to get everywhere. We enjoyed the stay. Thanks for all, totally recommend it!. Great host, quick responses during booking etc, made arrangements for key, air port transfer and check out
good, clean apartment, everything was working. very well located, only a couple of minutes' walk from the market square. only two points: the apartment did not correspond to the announcement (the pictures shown in the announcement refer to another apartment) and the second night there was a party going on in a neighbouring flat, people were really extremely loud until 3 am, shouting like crazy
Great apartment with an unbeatable view of the main square and despite activity outside quiet and relaxed inside.
One negative booked apartment transfer did not show up at the airport, but a taxi for about the same price sorted that and in future would use the integrated train link much cheaper, quicker and more convenient to get to the office to pick up the keys.
The description of this apartment did not match at all to reality.
The description says 4 bedrooms, big living room and also 2 balconies.
There was only 3 bedrooms and 1 balconies.
There was also only one tabel and six chairs in the kitchen. And I have asked Martin especially if there was space and Equipment for 12 people in the kitchen..
The coffe maker did not work okey. One toilet leaked quite a lot.
It would have been good if someone from Wimdu had met us at the apartment and shown us the apartment. Instead we had to get key from office and then make a mumbers of call to fix all trouble.
Thank you very much for your patience.
The attic was fantastic and in a very good situation, very near the center, and it is lovely.
Localitation is perfect, in the downtown and near train and bus station. Spacious flat with a nice view. Needs more kitchenware, there isnt a toaster or microwawe. Is a 3th floor without lift. The street in summer is noisy and if u sleep with the windows open is sometimes molest. The bath needs a bath screen
Incredible views of the main square and nice high-ceiling apartment directly in the heart of the Stare Masto. The furniture and other home furnishings aren't of the highest quality but the apartment is spacious and has lots of room for a group of at least 4 people. Lack of air conditioning can be a problem in the summer months and the music from the square can be distracting but this overall is an excellent choice for Krakow for the location.

Spons'd Tingles: Summer Blonde Crush – Rachael
Time for the next blonde in our series on my blonde crushes of the summer-to-date courtesy Schwarzkopf Professional's © BLONDME line of color, care, and styling products. There are prizes for you to win too. Read below for details. But first up, the second blonde…
Last week it was Carey Mulligan at Comic-Con for Drive. Click here if you missed it. This week my pick is Rachael Taylor. She's one of the new Angels. How appropriate. Schwarzkopf Professional would describe her as the "Angelic Blonde" qualified as follows: smoldering, texture, tactile, sensual. Her hairstyle is all those things. Incredibly sexy because you can see the movement and the edges. Look at the way it's tousled at Comic-Con, like someone was just running their hands through while they were pressed up against a wall making out. Or she just came from the beach and you can still smell the salt. I think it's a little too tight at the Television Critics' Association panel for Charlie's Angels last week but the shape is still there. A lot of art goes into a cut like this to make it soft and strong at the same time. I've thought about making this happen for myself a lot...but my hair is so stick straight, I'm not sure I could manage it, and besides, part of what gives it its depth are the highlights to complement the layers, which I don't have.
Why the focus on blondes? Blonde is more than just a color and only a Blonde Expert understands your blonde specific needs. Within BLONDME no blonde is like the other. There are a million possibilities. And Schwarzkopf Professional's BLONDME line of color, care and styling make it possible to tailor-make your personal blonde style. So whether you are or would like to be a "Saturday Night Blonde", a "Rock Glam Blonde" or even a "Pixi Blonde" BLONDME will have a product for your specific needs. Natural, highlighted or pre-lightened blonde, there's a haircare product to match your need, from shampoos and conditioners to hairspray and styling creams. Check out the full line of products here.

Story highlights
- Staff and inventory to keep minibars stocked is an expensive endeavor.
- Many major chains are doing away with minibars altogether in some properties.
- Some hotels are rethinking the formula, introducing tailored items or concocting ways to make treats harder to resist.
Few hotel features ignite debate quite like the minibar. For some they represent a luxurious indulgence, for others daylight robbery with high prices and poor choice.
The cost of minibar items has long been an issue of contention but what many don't realize is that price tag on a pack of M&Ms for example also reflects the extensive labor, inventory and potential waste that stocking that item entails.
"We had a full department looking after our minibars; six people working seven days a week," says John Askew, the director of food and beverage at The Peabody Hotel Orlando.
"Our minibar had 35 items, and with 831 rooms to look after you can imagine how many cases you had to have on hand to keep it stocked. If an item wasn't moving, you could find yourself with 16 cases of expired Coke."
The Peabody is one of several hotels that have jettisoned their minibars in the last couple of years. The Marriott started yanking their in-room fridges in 2004, and nearly every major hotel chain, including Hyatt, Hilton and Starwood Hotels, have started to follow suit.
Instead of a pre-stocked fridge, guests at The Peabody Hotel can order snack and beverage packages as part of the room service. If they pre-order, the hotel staff will stock the fridge with goods before they arrive. The program is called "Feed the Fridge" and prices are closer to what you might find at a local grocery store.
"If you price it like a minibar, people are going to leave the hotel," notes Askew.
The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotel in Florida has been experimenting with a similar model, which they call the "personal pantry". Tony Porcellini, the hotel's food and beverage director, notes that the savings in labor and inventory gets passed on to the customer.
"In the Personal Pantry, we offer a six-pack of beer for $8. That was about the price of one beer in the old minibar," he says.
As minibars are often a loss-leader, some hotels have opted to stop charging for them and simply make them a free amenity for guests.
The Siam Kempinski Hotel in Bangkok, for instance, gives out free local beer and soda, while the Andaz Liverpool Street in London offers complimentary snacks, including biscuits and potato chips. Other hotels hope to lure clientele into charging items by instituting more upscale offerings.
The Enchantment Resort in Sedona, Arizona, is just one property to introduce local wines and craft beers to their menu.
It has given its minibar a complete makeover, moving it out of the purview of food and beverage and under the jurisdiction of retail.
The contents not only got a major sprucing, but so did the display and packaging of items. Near the TV sits two bottles of local Arizona Stronghold wine and chocolate-covered grapes.
Both run-of-the-mill and gourmet snacks migrated from inside the fridge onto a leather tray in full-view. The hotel also started selling M&Ms packaged in a teddy-bear shaped jar that's proven almost irresistible to kids.
"The first thing I wanted to do was visually merchandise the minibar," Kelly Dunagan-Johnson, the resort's retail director. The approach has worked, as sales have seen a 30% increase year after year.
Given Enchantment's success, it's a wonder more hotels don't follow their lead
"F&B aren't testing display opportunities and saying, 'This isn't working, let's move it here,' or, 'let's trade out that snack.' They're resetting the same stuff over and over in a pattern," says Dunagan-Johnson.

Level 10 GTS-M Final Pics
Ok, it's about time I posted this worklog. This will probably be the shortest worklog I've done, as I only had about 5 weeks to complete this project lol. This was a case I built for Thermaltake, to be displayed in their suite at CES this year. Due to the extremely tight deadline, I didn't have any time to take very many pics during its construction, much less post them in a worklog. So I am now finally catching up on things.
The idea of this case mod was inspired by Thermaltake's latest gaming mouse, the Level10 M.
I absolutely love this mouse. Designed by BMW Designworks, it has a free-flowing, open design that looks amazing, and it's functional too. It was a real challenge to integrate its design elements into the Level 10 GTS case and not end up with an oversized mouse lol.
So here are the concept images. I was actually developing this design while I was at PDXLAN in November.
The first thing I tackled was the button bar on the front. I got some 1/4" thick aluminum bar, and transferred the I/O ports and power/reset button holes using a piece of tape.
Drilled pilot holes...
...and proceeded to widen the holes out to the marked lines using a file.
After a few test fits, I then drew the shape along the edge that would mimic the side button area on the mouse.
After a few cuts, more filing, and a little bending on the top, we have the final piece.
Due to the proximity of the top USB port to the bend, I had to modify the I/O port circuit board a little to conform to the bend of the bar. I shaved the corner of the pcb down, and rotated the top USB port just a hair so it mated with the hole better.
Luckily, there were no traces in those areas. But I did have to de-solder the mounting pins, drill new holes and re-solder them in.
Now it conforms to the bend.
A front shot.
And with a USB cable plugged in.
Next thing I had to do was fashion a cover for the side, to hide any unsightly cables and circuitry since the whole front of the case will be replaced with mesh. I took a piece of black alu sheet, bent it to match the bar, then cut the edge down to fit.
It will be mounted to the I/O port bracket using black rivets.
Next update tomorrow! Thanks for reading.

Thanks Pranja.
For the side panel, I laser cut a 3/8" piece of acrylic with the honeycomb window cutout (thanks to Moddersmart)
I then proceeded to bend the top ever so slightly over the top of the case. This was accomplished by first heating the entire piece in the oven, then finishing the bend with a blowtorch and a piece of aluminum flat bar.
The Level10 M Mouse has an illuminated Dragon logo just underneath the honeycomb cutouts, so I thought it would be cool to reproduce that on the case. So I had Moddersmart cut me a dragon logo out of 1/8" red acrylic.
I took a piece of clear and outlined the inner areas of the logo and cut them out.
I used a couple clamps and some wood strips to keep the thinner areas locked down while I cut and filed the edges.
After much grinding and filing, we have the finished cutout.
Then it was just a matter of gluing the red dragon logo onto the clear piece.
I neglected to take pictures of the mounting part, but I basically hung it from a cross bar on top, and fastened it to the back of the case at the bottom. Then I mounted the 200mm fan directly behind the logo. I wish I had more time to devise a way to light the dragon up better, but the leds from the fan will have to suffice.
Next update will show the front bezel, and mesh fabrication. 'Til then!

Thank you Editor22!
Here's a shot of the front bezel after getting hacked in two, clearing the way for the mesh panel that will span the whole top of the case.
After measuring, cutting, fitting, and trimming the mesh, I ended up with this. you can see some of the extra cross bracing I made to reinforce the case frame, since I did away with the entire top panel.
Here I added the side panel as well as a top trim piece I made from 1/4" x 1/2" aluminum bar. I routed out the bottom so it would fit over the edge of the mesh.
A closer up shot. I angled the end so it would match up to the front button bar.
Low angle shot of the front bar with mesh.
For the lower part of the front bezel, I wanted to add some aluminum highlights, so I made some covers to fit over the hot-swap drive bay release buttons. I taped the area off first...
Then used the tape to transfer the shape to the sheet aluminum. This stuff was pretty thin (think roof flashing) so I had to work carefully with the dremel when cutting.
I got all four pieces cut, then filed and sanded the edges as a group. I also drilled the button holes all at once, with a piece of scrap wood as a backing to eliminate any burrs.
That's about it for today. Next will be the last update, which will include the case feet (first attempt and alternative solution), a painting disaster that almost cost me the project, and final pics. ;-)

Ok, now for the failures lol. For the case feet, I thought it would be cool to have Level 10M mice as the feet for the case. But since I didn't have four Level10 M's lying around, I decided to make dummies from the original. So I taped up the mouse using electrical tape. It has a smooth surface, and I knew from past experience the epoxy dough I was using wouldn't stick to it.
After mixing up the dough and rolling it out to 1/4" thickness, I covered the mouse.
It took a few hours to harden up.
I didn't wait for the epoxy to harden fully, so I could more easily extract the mouse from the mold.
Once the mouse was out, I could work the mold a bit more, flattening the edges and filling in any cavities on the sides. Then I made a circular depression in the middle for the original case foot. I figured if the stock feet were embedded into the new mice feet, I could simply pop them back onto the case without any further modification.
I cut some notches in the sides of the feet to make sure they would not come out of the epoxy feet after curing.
I applied a coat of mold release and worked the epoxy into the mold, then set it aside to set up. This is when it all came to a screeching halt. It had hardened into one solid block and I couldn't get the first mouse foot out of the mold. I tried prying it out, cutting the edges back, drilling holes in the top to relieve the suction, I even threw it onto the garage floor as hard as I could, and it still would not budge! (although I was quite impressed with the epoxy holding up after all that lol)
So I ended up ditching the entire thing as I was down to the final days before having to ship the case out to CES, and couldn't afford to waste any more time. And I couldn't just pop the original feet back on because I had already cut them up in preparation for the casting. So I had to come up with a plan B.
I remembered I still had the hexagon shapes that were left over from the side panel laser cutting. So I grabbed four of those, cut up a piece of black PVC pipe I had laying around and glued them together. I taped off the edges of the acrylic and threw a coat of black paint on them.
I quickly wired up a string of red led's for each foot.
All four done!
After the case feet were done, I could move on to the next failure lol. This was almost the deal breaker here. When i was painting the side panel, it fell off its hangers onto the garage floor and broke into about 10 pieces. :shock: I sat there just staring at the broken shards on the floor in utter shock. This was about midnight on the Thursday prior to CES, and I was supposed to ship the case out no later than Monday. I figured it was over, and there was no way I could salvage the situation. But after a while I gathered the pieces up and decided to at least try to fix it, since it was impossible to get another side panel cut and bent in time. I brought the pieces inside and put them back together. I got out the Weld-On and used zip ties to hold everything tightly together, and left it alone for 24 hours.
Miraculously, it all held and was pretty straight. It only took minor filling to get it flat again, and I was able to get paint on it by Sunday. While it was drying, I got the rest of the case assembled, and managed to get some final pics taken that night. And on Monday morning I boxed it up and got it shipped out to CES.
I still can't believe I was able to pull it off in time. The moral of this story is, never give up! :wink:
I'll get the final pics up in the next post. Stay tuned!

Alright, here are the final pics. I didn't have much time to go crazy on these, I just set up the case on my dining room table and shot a few quick angles. Enjoy!
And here are a couple shots I found online from CES:

I haven't seen a thread really devoted to sleepers. I believe making picks in the 2nd day that contribute to the team make your team have great depth and we dont have to sign big name free agents (since big name FA have not gone that well for us in past years) Lavar Arrington blew his achilles out sadly, Sam Madison didnt do anything special, more recently we have done better but overpaid players likr Chris Canty, Rolle etc...
When we made the run to win the SB vs the unbeaten Pats we had many players we drafted contributing Boss, Bradshaw, Smith etc.I like looking for sleeper picks last year I was glad we got Adrien Robinson bc he was on my sleeper list for his athletic ability and had to take into consideration that for Cincinnati he was primarily a blocker so his stats were not a reflection on the player he can become with right coaching (Our TE is a great groomer of TE's)
My sleeper list
1) Le'veon Bell (Mich. St.) Big hard running back with surprising nice moves and footwork. He is durable and he has produced well. Could be that goal line back that we could use. We have Wilson who is very quick fast and a hard runner. If we have added him we could have our "earth wind and fire" back like when we were dominating teams on the ground and we controlled the clock. Bell could possibly be there with our 3rd pick unless he wows people with 40 times etc.
2) Reggie Dunn (Utah) a WR/Return man he will most likely not be drafted for his WR skills but he is a good returner last year took 4 all the way on only 10 returns! I think that speaks for itself. Then we would not have to worry about Wilson getting banged up returning kicks.
3) Bacarri Rambo (Georgia) S who was a big part of the bulldog defense. He is not given the credit he deserves bc of the other members of their defense who will be 1st rounders most likely
4) Leon McFadden (San Diego State) CB who was a very reliable corner for SDSU and he can tackle well too. He could be a nice CB to add for depth for teams who like those 4-5 WR sets.
5) Andrew Jackson (Western Kentucky) MLB 109 tackles last year 3.5 sacks. He is a pyshical LB from the same hometown as Ray Lewis. He says that he has molded his game after him. Has good instincts and his coverage skills arent bad either. With the right opportunity he could become a solid playerThat is my list off the top of my head. I would like to hear what you guys think of my choices and to give some your own and will give feedback as well. I will look for some clips of these guys to put on here so you can get a look at these guys.

CHILD's researchers are examining all the environments of the babies. They collect dust, mold, air and blood samples, and will retest at specified intervals for comparison. The researchers ask for the very first bowel movement of newborns in the study. This is no joke: they want to know what bacteria the brand new baby has in his gut, and then compare those bacteria to what's found in the intestines over time, up until the age of 5. They are trying to understand, Turvey says: "Are there protective bacteria or bad bacteria?"
Bacterial exposures are fascinating if complicated. Dr. Malcolm Sears, the epidemiologist who is director of the CHILD project, explains that how a person's immune system will respond to a given bacteria will vary, and may depend on which bacteria and the quantity involved. "Certain genetic structures may make a substance like endotoxin, for instance, protective in some people and increase allergies in others. It's not neutral, it can go either way depending on the genetic background. It's not always protective," says Sears, who is a professor of medicine at McMaster University and research director of the Firestone Institute for Respiratory Health at St. Joseph's Healthcare in Hamilton.
When we speak of "good" bacteria, probiotics leap to mind, those so-called "friendly" micro-organisms that are beneficial to the gastrointestinal system. Could introducing them to a diet contribute to allergy prevention? Von Mutius sees indications that probiotics "might work," but says the definitive study has yet to be produced.
There is something more apparently protective about the raw milk in the European farm studies, but von Mutius and her team do not yet know precisely what bacteria are making a difference, or whether the heating and denaturating of proteins is at play. She is not promoting the drinking of untreated farm milk, noting there are good reasons for wanting to kill pathogens in such a dietary staple. However, pasteurization as we know it has had a good run; Louis Pasteur invented it back in the 1860s.
In future, there may be practical applications from the European findings about raw milk. "You don't want the pathogens, but maybe there are other ways," she says. "I think we need to be clever and creative and find ways to do it."
Like the researchers in CHILD, she and her team consider the farms they've studied to be a specific environment. This is a cloistered and natural environment – a big Petri dish of microbes and clues from a time that's largely passed. We can't all go back to live on the farm, but this unique environment may divulge answers to help bring the allergy epidemic under control.
From Cows to Dogs
In the urban environment, of course, there is one similarity to the traditional farm. We do still live among animals: those we keep as pets. As news spread from the European farm studies that exposure to cows, pigs and poultry was helping to protect against allergic disease, scientists began to wonder – could this protection be elicited from non-working animals, specifically dogs and cats?
Dr. Dennis Ownby is one of the leading researchers in this area. In 2002, he and a team of researchers from Henry Ford Hospital published findings in the Journal of the American Medical Association that were surprisingly contrary to the long-held belief that pets in the home would lead infants to develop allergies.
Ownby's group conducted a study of 474 healthy Detroit children from birth to age 6, examining how exposures to cats and dogs affected the participants' rate of sensitization to common allergens, including the animals themselves, mold, ragweed, grass and dust mites. The results showed that when infants in the first year of life lived with two or more dogs (or dogs and cats in combination), their risk of developing allergies at 6 or 7 years old was less than half (15.4 per cent) that of kids who hadn't had any pet exposure (33.6 per cent).
In an interview, Ownby said: "There is something about being around an animal that changes the immune system so that you're less likely to be allergic to anything." (However, what remains the case is that if an individual in a household develops pet allergies, the animal should be found a new home.)
The topic had been contentious, with some studies making the case for, and some against pets as protective against allergies. However lately, research on dog exposure in early life has been uniformly positive. For instance, scientists in Munich in 2008 examined data from 3,150 children in two large population studies. The results, published in the European Respiratory Journal, revealed that in blood tests at the age of 6, children who had dogs in their homes during the first year of birth showed markedly lower rates of sensitization to inhaled allergens, such as dust mites, cats, grass and birch pollen.
The findings with cats have been more inconsistent, though a 2007 study of New York City children saw some latent positive effects. Scientists from Columbia University found that kids who had infant exposure to cats were more likely to develop antibodies to the animals and wheeze by age 3. Yet, those same children showed signs of a protective effect and were less likely to wheeze by the time they had turned 5. The researchers suggest that prolonged exposure to cats may produce a tolerance to the allergen.
What's clear from the published research is that if there is a protective benefit to pet ownership, as with livestock, it happens early in life.

Nita, You can also make -sts graph- automatically scale the y-axis to show just the range covering your Kaplan-Meir curve with the command: sts graph, ylabel(minmax) If you would then like to adjust the scale, you can add the suffix ...yscale(range(0.8 1)).

Battle of Home Automation Platforms: Alarm.com Scores With DSC
Tyco's DSC boots iControl for Telguard, adds Alarm.com cloud-based services for interactive home automation and security.
December 10, 2013
Once upon a time, Alarm.com, a leading provider of cloud-based services for interactive home automation and security, was only compatible with security systems from 2GIG and Interlogix (formerly GE Security). Then it added startup Qolsys to the roster. Now Alarm.com announces support for DSC, a popular security system from Tyco Security Products.
Alarm.com will be available in early 2014 on DSC's Impassa series, followed by select other hybrid systems for global markets later in the year.
DSC originally launched its interactivity service with iControl, a competing platform employed by ADT, among others. DSC launched the service in 2011 under the Connect24 brand.
Last month, DSC replaced its iControl-direct relationship working with Telguard HomeControl, an iControl-powered service from Telular.
Telguard also supports security/home automation systems from 2GIG by Linear.
It appears DSC now will offer dealers their choice of Telguard or Alarm.com services (as does 2GIG).
Meanwhile, all three of the service providers—Telguard, Alarm.com and iControl — are embroiled in lawsuits with each other.
And arch rival Honeywell is going about its merry business with its own Total Connect service.

Quotes of the day
posted at 10:25 pm on May 24, 2011 by Allahpundit
"Shortly after Republicans swept last November to a historic victory in which Sarah Palin was credited with playing a central role, the former Alaska governor pulled aside her close aide, Rebecca Mansour, to discuss a hush-hush assignment: Reach out to conservative filmmaker Stephen K. Bannon with a request. Ask him if he would make a series of videos extolling Palin's governorship and laying to rest lingering questions about her controversial decision to resign from office with a year-and-a-half left in her first term. It was this abdication, Palin knew, that had made her damaged goods in the eyes of some Republicans who once were eager to get behind her potential 2012 presidential campaign…
"The fruits of that initial conversation are now complete. The result is a two-hour-long, sweeping epic, a rough cut of which Bannon screened privately for Sarah and Todd Palin last Wednesday in Arizona, where Alaska's most famous couple has been rumored to have purchased a new home. When it premieres in Iowa next month, the film is poised to serve as a galvanizing prelude to Palin's prospective presidential campaign — an unconventional reintroduction to the nation that she and her political team have spent months eagerly anticipating, even as Beltway Republicans have largely concluded that she won't run…
"'This film is a call to action for a campaign like 1976: Reagan vs. the establishment,' Bannon told RealClearPolitics. 'Let's have a good old-fashioned brouhaha.'…
"If she does decide to run, 'The Undefeated' will be the key element to her initial coming-out party. The film's impending release — and the frenzied media attention that it is sure to generate — will serve as a vivid wake-up call that despite the many obstacles in front of her, Palin's entry into the race would turn the campaign on its head in an instant, just as it did in 2008.
"As she mulls her decision in the coming weeks, the other Republican candidates in the field will be left to prepare for a hibernating grizzly who appears poised to rise up once again."

ADT Partners With IFTTT for DIY Home Automation Channel
Popular cloud-based home automation platform IFTTT is testing an ADT Pulse channel to engage customers with a DIY element.
By Julie Jacobson · August 19, 2014
ADT is looking to engage customers with a new DIY element for its Pulse security and home automation system. The giant service provider is creating an ADT Pulse "channel" on IFTTT, a platform for creating if/then rules for a wide variety of smart home products and online services.
IFTTT (If This Then That) is gaining momentum among do-it-yourselfers, who can create rules, or "recipes" in IFTTT parlance, for enrolled devices and services. For example: If I tweet "all lights on" then turn on all of the lights in the home. Or: If motion is detected at the front door, then text me with an image from the front-door camera. Or: If my ADT Pulse system goes into alarm mode, then turn my Philips Hue lights to red to freak any intruders.
ADT says it is already Beta-testing a number of IFTTT recipes including:
- If a wearable changes from "sleep" to "awake," then disarm the ADT Pulse security system.
- If phone alarm goes off at 6:45 a.m., then turn on the ADT Pulse-connected coffee machine.
- If Life360 [ADT's GPS-enabled Canopy social network service] family members are away from home, then lock ADT Pulse-connected doors and arm ADT Pulse security system "away."
- If the temperature outside is above 85 degrees, then change an ADT Pulse-connected thermostat to 70 degrees.
- If a user texts "DogDoor", then unlock the ADT Pulse-connected back door.
- If the doorbell rings, then send me an ADT Pulse real-time video clip of the front door.
- If the sun sets, then turn on ADT Pulse-connected outdoor lights.
ADT, which boasts more than 850,000 Pulse customers, does not mention a specific time frame for the release of its IFTTT channel, but the company says it will create pre-configured recipes for the platform.
The security industry, with average attrition rates of about 12%, knows that the more engaged customers are with their systems, the more likely they will continue to renew their service contracts.
Allowing customers to create their own security and home automation "recipes" surely will help ADT keep customers longer.
This is the first collaboration CE Pro has seen between IFTTT and a provider of professionally-installed security/home control systems.

Town Square
Editor's Blog: The end of an era
Original post made by Jessica Lipsky, Danville, on Jan 18, 2011
As of 10 this morning, KUSF 90.3 FM was unexpectedly taken off the air. Broadcasting new music, cultural programs and news out of the University of San Francisco (USF) since 1977, KUSF has been a free-form beacon for a community that desperately wants an alternative to mainstream media saturation.
Without any notice to the dozens of volunteers (many of whom have been on air for decades), underwriters and supporters, [Web Link USF announced this morning] that KUSF is moving to an online only format, effective immediately. The university agreed to assign the FCC license for radio frequency 90.3 FM to Classical Public Radio Network, which is launching a non-commercial classical music station in the Bay Area. CPRN is owned by University of Southern California.
I've been DJing at KUSF under the handle Terry Dactyl for four years and couldn't be more dismayed. While I'm definitely not one of the Dinosaur DJs (which I consider to be those who have been on air since before I was born), I consider my work at KUSF to be an integral part of who I am and am crushed as another traditional medium's plug is pulled.
I'm sure readers can identify with this sinking feeling as the surprise, shock and sadness of losing a great terrestrial station are similar to losing the Danville Weekly. Both KUSF and the Weekly were community pillars which provided a little something for everyone involved -- whether that be hometown news and views or vinyl re-issues. Regardless, the loss of a great community radio station is indicative of what a fragile state traditional media is in.
Growing up in the internet age, I've always had a fascination with media "past" -- specifically newspapers, magazines and radio -- and have been incredibly fortunate to work in two fields that are slowly dying. Maybe I was naive in thinking that listener-supported radio could go on forever and not succumb to the allure of the web, but I'm not the only one.
Facebook has erupted with anger and amazement over the loss of KUSF from both DJs and listeners. People are upset and understand the need for free-form terrestrial radio as a primary means of alternative information, but what can we do?
KUSF will hold a meeting Wednesday night at 7 p.m. on the USF campus to discuss the next step, but I imagine it's already out of their hands. As expected, it comes down to money and the fact that the university doesn't make much from KUSF and is [Web Link reported to make $3.75 million] from the sale. There's also the matter of a valuable classical library hidden somewhere in the KUSF studios, but that's esoteric nonsense/DJ lore you're probably not interested in.
I don't have the answers and, really, I'm just upset. But I want to know how one can sustain an important media outlet in a crumby economy when it's already completely staffed by volunteers. How do we keep small businesses, alternative information sources and tangible media out there when the internet beckons? While the web is a wonderful tool, without which I would be jobless, I stand firmly in the line of Luddites who know that this change is a serious disservice to the Bay Area.

I so agree with you!! As an alum of USF way before the time of the internet, I remember listening to the station while on and off campus. I am really sorry to see it go, since it provided such a quality and fun service to the community.

After reading your glowing description of this radio station I'm sad to say that I never heard of it before now. I would like to have had the opportunity to listen in. It is sad that there are so many momentous changes occurring in our culture. We are told it is all in the interest of "progress" but sometimes the supposedy upward direction is not at all clear. I sympathize with you for your loss.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this isn't a done deal. But I won't hold my breath.

Sad, but hardly surprising. Old-line "college radio" has been in the sights of bland-media interests for years. My college station (WAER) got the students thrown out and turned into an NPR outlet; the one near my home (WFMU) went internet-only; when I moved here KUSF was one of the greats, even with the switch to Vietnamese News at 6:00pm. Money talks.
In the area, what seems to remain are KFJC 89.7, KZSU 90.1, KALX 90.7 and KVHS 90.5. Only KVHS has reasonable reception in the San Ramon Valley, being transmitted from Concord.

[quote user="jhamburg"]How much of a "weapon" did everyone think Steve Smith was at this point in his career before he had Cam at QB?[/quote]
He made the pro bowl in 2009, just 2 years ago. Pretty sure people thought he was good.
Did they have Shockey? Or Greg Olsen? DeAngelo Williams missed almost all of last year
Are you trying to imply that Carolina doesnt have more weapons offensively? Because if you are, then you are just showing yourself bull-headed and the discussion stops here, there is no reason to discuss with a person who only admits what he wants and denies facts.
I am not saying Dalton is better, as I said above they are 2 very different players who are likely both in systems that fit their respective styles. If they switched teams I doubt either has as much success as they have now. I just think too many people are discounting what Dalton has done. The guy has done the hardest thing to do in the NFL as a rookie QB and that is play winning football. Furthermore, he did it in the toughest division in football.
Cam has been a monster and has shown he can play in this league. But, he hasnt shown he can WIN in this league. It will likely come soon enough. But for Dalton, it has arrived.
