Notre Dame lawsuit on health law is a huge blow for President Obama -- Damages Obama with Catholic vote, the key one in 2012 election

Father John Jenkins and President Barack Obama |
The Fighting Irish are putting up the gloves -- and it is against the president who needs their support more than ever this November.
In an election where the Catholic vote is widely seen as the critical swing vote, the Notre Dame move places the most famous Catholic institution in the United States firmly in opposition to the president on his singular policy on health care.
That is big news given that Notre Dame was widely perceived as being in the president's corner after they invited him to be their commencement speaker in 2009 over the strong objections of local bishops.
Father John Jenkins is widely regarded as the most articulate and skilful Catholic college president in America, so his stance against Obama on this will be widely discussed and analyzed.
The wording of the lawsuit reflects Jenkins mindset. It is a passionate and emotional statement about the right of religious institutions to safeguard their own beliefs when it comes to what they wish to cover when it comes to medical care.
It is not the usual dry legalese stuff of most lawsuits and bears the hallmarks of Jenkin's style.
Jenkins is no creature of the Vatican right-wing orthodoxy like so many American bishops. Therefore his lawsuit is all the more potent among moderate American Catholics.

The college writes, " This lawsuit is about one of America's most cherished freedoms: the freedom to practice one's religion without government interference. It is not about whether people have a right to abortion-inducing drugs, sterilization, and contraception…. But the right to such services does not authorize the Government to force the University of Notre Dame… to violate its own conscience by making it provide, pay for, and/or facilitate those services to others, contrary to its sincerely held religious beliefs.
"American history and tradition, embodied in the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, protects religious entities from such overbearing and oppressive governmental action. Notre Dame therefore seeks relief in this Court to protect this most fundamental of American rights.
Jenkins makes clear that, "We do not seek to impose our religious beliefs on others; we simply ask that the Government not impose its values on the University when those values conflict with our religious teachings."
It is very hard to disagree with that statement which could have been made by any religious or political leader since independence.
Jenkins is no rabble rousing bishop out to get the Obama administration on religious grounds. His lawsuit is a passionate dissent from the notion that government can mandate what a Catholic college can and can't do when it comes to core beliefs.
As Jenkins concludes, "For if one Presidential Administration can override our religious purpose and use religious organizations to advance policies that undercut our values, then surely another Administration will do the same for another very different set of policies, each time invoking some concept of popular will or the public good, with the result these religious organizations become mere tools for the exercise of government power, morally subservient to the state, and not free from its infringement."
Suddenly the one major Catholic institution which had backed Obama now seems to be backing off on this one major issue.
That cannot be good news for the incumbent president. He needs Catholic votes in key states such as Ohio, Pennsylvania, and indeed Indiana, where Notre Dame is located. This Notre Dame uprising will come as a major blow.

single payer to one entity, the government, who then pays allotted care, in theory you could fool yourself into thinking it has benefits until you ask yourself if the government handles big projects well and does the constitution call for government to control a private sector function. Oh and save the envy politics for someone more naive, nice to hear from you again enjoy the weekend and God Bless those it honors.

@BrianO - That is the way it should work but for most people it doesn't. If one is not a congressman (they have a plethera of health care choices,) an individual is limited to the one or two health care companies that their state has OK'd to sell there. If you get your insurance through your employer, you are further limited to the one company chosen by that employer. In addition, many companies are owned by just a few big corporations. The cleansing action of the free market does not exist for most people buying health insurance. The idea of the federal exchange is to rectify this problem by allowing ALL health care companies to vie for an individual's business as they do for that of the congressmen and women. I would prefer a one payer system but the current administration felt that putting all of the health insurance companies out of business was not a good idea and so they came up with a compromise that returned a free market to what had become a monopoly and placed certain minimums on coverage details.

Insurance is based on numbers, probability, pooled risk, and the law of big numbers. The profit margin on insurance is quite low between 3% and 4%, If a private company doesn't service their customer then they will face competition from another better run company. Of course A large organization can also self insure.

Why have private health companies paying huge boardroom salaries and paying dividends to share holders on the backs of the sick and infirmed.The main aim of these insurance companies is profit not healthcare.

forced choice what a concept, your logic is flawed, If notre dame offers one person insurace they must offer each of their people insurance, the person is not required to use it but has the option. Furthermore if an individual finds an option that is more to their liking, they can choose that one. An institution should not be punished for offering a benefit. Example. A person sends their child to private school, he has the option to send said child to public school but chooses to seek a better option. Only a Tyrant would force choices on people, The end game of the current health care scheme is to bankrupt private insurance and have as many people as possible dependent on the government, it is at that point that only the rich will be able to access the medical care of their choice.

merefalow, I am in favor of choice. read what I wrote: "Notre Dame['s] ... health insurance plan may not discriminate against women's health care CHOICES." It's Notre Dame's (and the other parties to the lawsuits vs HHS) choice to refuse to obey a just, constitutional law. Federal court will force these autocratic organizations to allow women the same freedom of CHOICE that they themselves have under the US Constitution, Amendment One. That freedom does not include depriving others of their freedom. Only a tyrant would think it could include that.

There already is a mandate. That is why the Supreme court was asked to rule on the Constitutionality of the Law.

Whether I agree with the Health Care mandates or not, my main concern is that the First Amendment is not thrown out the window. After they get the go ahead to infringe on the freedom of religion, freedom of speech will be next.
If the President can mandate the Insurance companies provide free contraception, abortion, etc. for the religious institutions, why not just mandate it for everyone. That way it's not through the religious entity and the same for all.

Wow! If only the Catholic hierarchy had shown the same vigor in seeking legal redress for the child victims of their raping and molesting priests. If only the hierarchy had shown the same passion for open court proceedings to seek redress instead of relying on $$billions payouts to buy silence.
Many Catholic faithful are at the end of their tether with a hierarchy on a lemming march to the cliffedge-schools closing, hospitals shut down,soup kitchens gone - all to pay for the misdeeds of their priests (and bishops and cardinals).

#BrianO - Your 02:45 PM EDT post was attributed to merefalow! When it was the last post on here, it showed up with NO by-line (but it had your wit.) The IC software did that to one of your posts on another thread and when I posted right after you, your post was attributed to me. It made it look like I was carrying on a conversation with myself. Very funny! Do we need to complain to IC's IT guys? Maybe they have an exterminator that can rid them of the bugs.

PERSON OF INTEREST stars Jim Caviezel, Emmy Award winner Michael Emerson and Academy Award nominee Taraji P. Henson in a crime thriller about a presumed dead former-CIA agent, Reese, who teams up with a mysterious billionaire, Finch, to prevent violent crimes by using their own brand of vigilante justice. Reese's special training in covert operations appeals to Finch, a software genius who invented a program that uses pattern recognition to identify people about to be involved in violent crimes. Using state-of-the-art surveillance technology, the two work outside of the law, using Reese's adept skills and Finch's unlimited wealth to unravel the mystery of the "person of interest" and stop the crime before it happens. Reese's actions draw the attention of the NYPD, including homicide detective Carter, and Fusco, a cop whom Reese uses to his advantage. With infinite crimes to investigate, Reese and Finch find that the right person, with the right information, at the right time, can change everything.

President Bill Clinton had just taken office, Nirvana blasted on the radio and gas cost $1.11 a gallon in April 1993, when Miami-Dade County's two longest-serving commissioners were first elected.
Dennis Moss and Javier Souto, the commission's elder statesmen, have been on the 13-member board for 19 years. Five other commissioners have served for at least a decade.
They keep getting reelected, their supporters say, because they're good at what they do. But to critics, the long tenures are a sign that defeating incumbents is nearly impossible.
That could change on Nov. 6, when the public gets a chance to impose two four-year terms on commissioners.
The issue has been on the ballot before — most recently in January, when it was rejected by percent of voters. There was a catch, however: The term limits were tied to hefty salary increases for commissioners.
That's not the case this time.
"I was listening to radio and reading opinions, and people always asked me, 'Why do you have to bring that issue with the raises?'" said Commissioner Rebeca Sosa, who, along with Commissioner Lynda Bell, pushed to put term limits on the upcoming ballot.
If the charter amendment is approved, long-serving commissioners don't have much to fear. The term limits would not apply retroactively; instead, they would be added to time commissioners have spent in office.
Current commissioners could stay until 2020. Souto and Moss could represent their districts for as many as 27 years.
Bell and Sosa made the proposal as Miami auto magnate Norman Braman and activist Vanessa Brito were making noise about collecting petition signatures to put term limits on the ballot themselves. They ultimately backed off, though they have lamented the Sosa-Bell proposal does not apply retroactively — a move that would have essentially booted seven commissioners off the dais.
Separately, a commission-created charter-review task force was expected to recommend a term limits amendment as well — a move preempted by the measure on the ballot.
The term-limit proposal is just one of 10 county ballot questions. The public will also be asked to:
• Make technical amendments to the county's 55-year-old charter.
• Require a two-thirds majority of the commission to move the county's Urban Development Boundary. That's the current voting standard in practice, but it is not set in the charter. Proponents say the measure would make it more difficult to allow development along the county's southern and western fringes. Opponents say it is unnecessary when commissioners have already agreed to that threshold by ordinance.
• Make it easier for new cities to incorporate. Cityhood advocates would have six months (instead of three) to gather signatures from 20 percent (instead of 25 percent) of voters within the proposed city. A proposal to incorporate would require an up-or-down vote from commissioners, who would no longer be able to indefinitely postpone the measures.
• Empower the county's Commission on Ethics & Public Trust to enforce the Citizens' Bill of Rights. Currently, the only way to pursue violation complaints is to sue in civil court. The current penalty: forcing violators out of office. The charter amendment would eliminate that penalty but allow the ethics commission to enforce a range of others without the need for a lawsuit, though lawsuits would still be permitted. The ethics commission's executive director, Joe Centorino, supports the amendment, saying it will strengthen the bill of rights.

At least not yet.

text: Last week was a rough one if your last name is Armstrong. First we learned that Lance Armstrong, once America's heroes for beating cancer and winning 7 straight Tour De France races was not going to fight accusations that he cheated, and was stripped of his victories and was banned for life from future sanctioned races. After he was accused of blood-doping, in which your blood is removed, oxygenated, then returned to your body to give you greater endurance, he sued the anti-blood-doping agency. But after learning that many of his former U.S. Postal team mates and others were going to testify against him, he said "enough is enough" and gave up. Then came the sad news that Neil Armstrong, the first man on the man, died at the age of 82. Armstrong was a true hero, first of all making a seat-of-the pants landing of the lunar module on the surface of the moon, then being the first off the ladder and uttering the famous words "That's one small step for (a) man, and one giant leap for mankind." After Apollo 11 returned to earth, Armstrong virtually disappeared, giving few, if any interviews and not trying to cash in on his fame. He looked it as just luck that he was chosen to be the first on the moon, and part of his job as an astronaut. Armstrong returned to his native Ohio and resumed his life as a pilot, and became a college professor. It is Neil Armstrong, not Lance Armstrong, who is closer to being Jack Armstrong, the All American Boy.

I -- on the budget battle hi everybody glad you're with that today I'm generally cannot -- -- -- Jon Scott congressman Paul Ryan and house Republicans just releasing their blueprint to balance the budget.
Within ten years and they say they plan to do it by repealing obamacare.
Cutting domestic programs like Medicaid and avoiding additional tax hikes.
And now we're awaiting the Democrats counter proposal.
This as our national debt continues to skyrocket way past sixteen and a half trillion dollars.
And now new questions about how serious the president really is about reducing the deficit.
Which seems to be shaping up as a battle over revenue vs cuts Karl Rove is the former senior advisor.
To former president George W.
Bush and Fox News contributor good to see -- Carl thanks for being here.
And we said on a day when the president heads to Capitol Hill to talk with Republicans and before talking this about sort of schmooze fest but I want to ask you about a minute just posted on the national journal's web -- run forty or writing.
And quoting an unnamed senior White House official.
Saying that this is a joke the meeting between the president and Republicans were wasting the president's time and hours.
I hope that all of you in the media are happy because we're doing this for you -- Well if if this is represented the white has said this is a mistake for the -- How insincere the president is in this -- look for the last four years the president has treated his.
Opposition political opposition with contempt and he's treated his political supporters -- little better.
And so this outreach by the president -- sincere and sustained.
Might actually do some good in establishing a condition of some trust abortion and get things done but if this is the White House attitude if they're going through the motions because they think the press.
Want him to go through the motions.
It's not gonna have an impact cut -- from the Republican standpoint how willing should they be.
To compromise with this president do you think -- they should be open minded if he's sincere I've talked to a couple people a couple of the members who went to dinner last week and while not revealing.
The dvd in the tone of what happened -- the specifics of what happened there.
They did think the tone was you know -- and potentially.
Favorable that is to say the opening of a process but look the president can't have one dinner.
And hope to wash away all the damage that his policies have done over the last four years remember this is a man.
Who questioned not simply the policies of his opposition but their motivation.
And the same time that he's having dinner.
With of a group for Republican senators.
His political arm organizing for action is sending out.
Because they wanna take.
Close down you know airport -- air traffic control and they wanted under undermine meat inspection programs is not a good way to go about trying to say let's find a way to work together.
I wanna get your take on the current state of things in the Republican Party though is you talk to your colleagues.
In DC has the party begun to position itself better.
To pick up some seats in the mid terms and to position itself.
For a possible winner of the White House and 26 well people are talking about a -- that kind of stuff take some time I do think the Republicans did a Smart thing on the sequestered by.
Be strong stayed -- stayed focused on it and then immediately passing a continuing resolution to fund the government at the current level give flexibility in the Defense Department.
And outlook for you know -- wait until the last moment and as a result we.
-- understand there's now -- senate bargain so we're likely this week.
Maybe next to fund the government through the rest of the fiscal year I think the Republicans without a big huge controversy.
-- Republicans also the Smart thing by using their leverage to force the senate to finally pass a budget resolution we're running our government.
Not by a budget passed and regular order.
But by a series of continuing resolutions.
The president for example has not met his statutory responsibility -- the 1974 budget control act to present a budget was supposed to do -- February 4 we're now.
In March he has yet to present a budget and the White House is sort of pointing towards April as the moment that they might lay out general budget proposal.
That's in violation of the law and it doesn't help the regular process of getting the government run in a thoughtful fashion.
I was gonna ask if you brought your white board today.
We look at the papal conclave they need to get to 77 votes.
In order to get to the next -- at any any handicapping their Carl thank god we don't have exit polls or or -- -- -- -- at what they -- at the right way -- they get to the final -- in the decision -- -- -- -- a small -- -- maybe there's a message -- for American medium -- maybe we -- -- and so they're trying to call and let the election go to his final conclusion let's results speak for themselves thanks Karl Karl Rove thanks -- -- --

Beyond CRSD
Although the Coral Reef Sustainable Destination (CRSD) model continues to be the main focus of our conservation work, we are also expanding our reach through important initiatives that are international in scope.
Using forensic science techniques modified for use underwater, Coral Reef CSI provides resource managers with the tools, strategies, and specialized training required to collect underwater evidence that will stand up in court. The program has now trained over 300 marine protected area managers, enforcement officers, academics, and litigators from coral reef destinations around the world.

CORAL is leading a worldwide training program to build a global network of reef managers who are prepared to respond to climate change. With funding from the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Oceans, Environment, and Science (OES), CORAL is adapting and implementing a reef resilience training curriculum developed by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and The Nature Conservancy. The curriculum trains coral reef managers in adaptive management strategies to mitigate the impacts of climate change on reef survival.

CORAL is developing programs that will increase shark protection in our Indo-Pacific project sites. In Fiji we are working with partners to advance legislation for a Fijian National Shark Sanctuary. We are securing endorsements from traditional Fijian leaders and developing wide-reaching media and education campaigns.

Spending your hard-earned dollars on expensive crackers? Fueling a fixation on fancy Raincoast Crisps you can't resist buying at gourmet shops? Well, we've cracked the code and you can now make these special savoury nibbles yourself at home. Thanks to the enormous proliferation of food crazed bloggers, there are no secrets anymore. Your mother was right: it's good to share! I will now share my knowledge with you. Thanks to Julie Van Rosendaal's blog for this inspired copycat creation.
Just before we jump into the technical details, let me assure you that these crackers are FANTASTIC! My husband declared them the best crackers he has ever eaten. I was mildly concerned about how easily they would slice into pretty, thin, little things and, after a good chill in the freezer for a couple of hours, they sliced evenly and effortlessly. I followed the recipe exactly and would not change a thing. Except for when I want to change a thing. Then, I may sub in dried figs, dates, poppy seeds, sunflower seeds. Next time: half whole wheat flour and half white flour. Maybe a scoop of corn meal. Nothing too crazy as we don't want to mess up a great cracker, do we? Let the greatness begin:
Photo courtesy of www.dinnerwithjulie.com
Rosemary Raisin Pecan Crisps2 cups flour2 tsp. baking soda1/2 tsp. salt2 cups buttermilk1/4 cup brown sugar1/4 cup honey1 cup raisins1/2 cup chopped pecans1/2 cup roasted pumpkin seeds (optional)1/4 cup sesame seeds1/4 cup flax seed, ground1 Tbsp. chopped fresh rosemary
Preheat oven to 350° F.
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda and salt. Add the buttermilk, brown sugar and honey and stir a few strokes. Add the raisins, pecans, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, flax seed and rosemary and stir just until blended.
Pour the batter into two 8"x4" loaf pans that have been sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake for about 35 minutes, until golden and springy to the touch. Remove from the pans and cool on a wire rack.
The cooler the bread, the easier it is to slice really thin. You can leave it until the next day or pop it in the freezer. Slice the loaves as thin as you can and place the slices in a single layer on an ungreased cookie sheet. (I like to slice and bake one loaf and pop the other in the freezer for another day.) Reduce the oven heat to 300° F and bake them for about 15 minutes, then flip them over and bake for another 10 minutes, until crisp and deep golden. Try not to eat them all at once.
Makes about 8 dozen crackers.
What do YOU put on your Raincoast Crisps? There is always the old standard, brie and red pepper jelly. Aged cheddar and orange marmalade. Goat cheese and tapenade. Goose liver pate and a slice of gerkin is pretty darn good too. A dab of chicken salad topped with a sprig of dill makes a lovely little canape. Or a little slice of shaved roastbeef with a small dot of hot horseradish. Spread some natural peanut butter on a cracker with a slice of banana. I quite like cream cheese and smoked salmon on these too, with a sliver of red onion and a caper or two. Raincoast Crisps say PARTY to me, and with your own homemade batch, you can dazzle your guests with generosity that will not break the bank.
Crack the code to other savoury baked goodies with help from these books:

I fell in love with hummus since the first time I had it at Osama's (Friend) place. The lovely creamy texture with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of red paprika do wonders to my palate. I found it to be the healthiest dip or even a salad dressing one can make or find in the USA. Many nutritionists agree to the fact that salads are very healthy but salad dressings are so not! Of course they aren't when they are laden with mayo, cream and cheese.
Hence, hummus works best with my salads and they fill my pita pockets pretty well and taste yumm. Light and yumm- so not the words I type often in this blog.So here are my two healthy lunch recipes.
1/2 cup of chickpeas
1 tbl spn of extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp of paprika
1 tsp of cumin seeds
1 tsp of lime juice
1 pod of garlic
1.5 tbsps of tahini sauce
salt to taste
Soak the chickpeas over night. Cook them until they are soft and the raw smell goes off. (I pressure cook them for 2 whistles). Keep aside and let them cool.
Grind the chickpeas with rest of the ingredients (excluding the olive oil) to a smooth paste
Dress The hummus in olive oil and a pinch of paprika here and there.
Serve in room temperature with pita breads.
Note: You can also dress the hummus with chopped parsley or coriander.
1 whole wheat pita bread cut into halfs to make 2 pita pockets
1 cup of salad leaves and vegetables chopped (I used Romain lettuce,carrots, red cabbage, tomatoes and onions)
pinch of black pepper (freshly ground)
1 tbl spn of hummus
1 tsp of vinegar/lime juice
Optional: Falafels/boiled egg slices
Mix all the ingredients well and let the salad ready.
Fill the salad in the pita pockets with the salad. You may also add some falafels/boiled eggs. As per one's taste.
Serve at room temperature.

The great northwest of the U.S. is known for its natural beauty. It's also a high-tech region with a highly educated public – not exactly the kind of place one would expect to fall for the anti-science rhetoric of the anti-vaccine movement.
But it has. The anti-vaxxers have convinced a frighteningly high number of parents in Washington State to withhold vaccines from their children. A story in The Seattle Times last year reported that
"Washington [state] parents are choosing not to vaccinate their kindergartners at a rate higher than anywhere else in the country."
This despite the fact that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (formed by the founder of Microsoft Microsoft, which is headquartered in Seattle) is one of the world's leading sponsors of vaccine research.
When the vaccination rates drop, everyone becomes more vulnerable to infectious diseases. When more than 90% of the population is vaccinated, we have "herd immunity" – this means the disease can't spread because there aren't enough susceptible people in the community. So the high rate of vaccine refusal in Washington makes it easier for whooping cough (and other diseases) to spread.
The media has been complicit in spreading some of the anti-vaccine misinformation. Sometimes it comes straight from the media itself, such as the CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson, who has repeatedly and persistently reported on the purported link between vaccines and autism long after such a link was widely discredited.* Other times it comes from talk shows, magazines, or even airline advertisements that provide a platform for anti-vax celebrity doctors such as Jay Gordon (who gained fame as Jenny McCarthy's son's doctor) and "Dr. Bob" Sears, who has published his own "alternative" vaccine schedule in a book filled with anti-vaccine nonsense. These characters continue to claim, at every chance they get, that vaccines cause autism (as Gordon has said, repeatedly), or that they cause other harms, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. They use their medical degrees and their faux concern "for the children" to frighten parents into keeping their kids unvaccinated.
And now we learn that the U.S. is in the midst of the worst whooping cough epidemic in 70 years. One of the most hard-hit states is Washington, which the CDC just announced (on 20 July) has suffered 2,520 cases so far this year, a 1300% increase over last year. This is the highest number of cases reported in Washington since 1942. This plot of the number of cases this year compared to last year shows the dramatic rise in infections:
Making things worse, it seems, is an increase in cases among children aged 13-14. Children get a booster shot at age 11-12, but the new outbreak indicates that the effectiveness of the booster may not last very long. The dramatic increase in whooping cough this year also suggests that the bacterium that causes it, Bordetella pertussis, is mutating to make the vaccine less effective. Nevertheless, the CDC emphasizes:
"Vaccination continues to be the single most effective strategy to reduce morbidity and mortality caused by pertussis. Vaccination of pregnant women and contacts of infants is recommended to protect infants too young to be vaccinated."
This good advice is seriously undermined when misinformed doctors such as "Dr. Bob" Sears directly advise pregnant women not to get the whooping cough vaccine, as he did in the Huffington Post. (Hint: it's a good rule to be very skeptical of celebrity doctors who go by their first name.)
I should also point out that whooping cough is a national problem, not just Washington State's. The U.S. has had over 17,000 cases this year, putting it on track for the worst year since 1959. The highest rate of infection in the nation is in Wisconsin (which has also been hit hard by anti-vaccine effects), followed by Washington and Montana. 10 deaths have been reported, mostly in infants who were too young to be vaccinated. For all this, we can thank the anti-vaccination movement.
*Note: Following a complaint from Sharyl Attkinson, this story has been updated to clarify my view of her vaccine-related reporting.
you should do your research because all of the cases of whooping cough are in kids who HAVE been vaccinated. 10 years ago I had whooping cough as an adult. it continues to circulate despite vaccinations rates.
Shelley Tucker, so the 10 infants who died of pertussis in California's 2010 outbreak, who were too young to be vaccinated, didn't have pertussis but something else? Or the 154 infants who were too young to be vaccinated and were hospitalized had something other than pertussis?
Do your own research, Tucker, from some unbiased reports. Your claim is that 100% of the cases reported have been in vaccinated children. Show us the evidence.
Pertussis vaccine and transmission
Pertussis is considered an endemic disease, characterized by an epidemic every 2–5 years. This rate of exacerbations has not changed, even after the introduction of mass vaccination – a fact that indicates the efficacy of the vaccine in preventing the disease but not the transmission of the causative agent (B. pertussis) within the population [19].
The effects of whole-cell pertussis vaccine wane after 5 to 10 years, and infection in a vaccinated person causes nonspecific symptoms (3-7). Vaccinated adolescents and adults may serve as reservoirs for silent infection and become potential transmitters to unprotected infants (3-11). The whole-cell vaccine for pertussis is protective only against clinical disease, not against infection (15-17). Therefore, even young, recently vaccinated children may serve as reservoirs and potential transmitters of infection.
Case definition has been particularly problematic in all of the recent DTaP vaccine efficacy trials. For uniform comparative purposes a case definition was suggested by a WHO expert committee.39 This definition required 21 days of paroxysmal cough plus laboratory confirmation of pertussis in the subject or household contact. There are 2 problems with this definition. The first is that a substantial number of B pertussis infections in unvaccinated children are mild and would not meet the case definition. The second is that all pertussis vaccines tend to modify duration and severity of disease rather than completely preventing illness.18,2326-29,35,36,40 Therefore, the WHO definition has made all vaccines look better than they are and it has tended to obscure differences between vaccines.
I just can't help but wonder what kind of financial kickback Dr. Salzberg is receiving from Big Pharma to unload this pile of crap upon us all. This is not journalism, it's propaganda.
probably none?
Michelle – what kickbacks are you getting from doctors and hospitals that make more money treating children that get these vaccine preventable diseases? It is much more profitable to treat, than prevent……
Prove to us that you aren't in the pocket of "Big Disease!"
Internet traffic, d'uh. Salzberg hasn't been the centre of attention for a while it seems, so he's written an article full of blatant BS.
but I work for Big Pharma. Such a high paying job too! Look under the classified sometime and see how many jobs there are! ….I can't believe people say that. No actually, those who understand how vaccines work are so worried about themselves, their familiies, the immunocompromised, and YOU that they spend HOURS with articles and postings just hoping that you won't steer even one more mom the wrong way in your vaccine beliefs. Stop posting stuff and let people listen to their doctors, mothers, grandmothers and everyone who knows vaccines work!
"Washington [state] parents are choosing not to vaccinate their kindergartners at a rate higher than anywhere else in the country."
Problem – The most recent data shows that this isn't true.
The national average for the 4+DTaP is 84.3±1.0 percent, Washington State is at 86.4±4.4 percent. They are 14th highest in the nation for this vaccine. Oregon shares a border with the Washington, doesn't have as high a rate of infection and is 40th on the list for vaccinations.
Only these states have a higher rate of vaccination than WA:
Vermont 91.7±3.3
Wisconsin 91.3±3.8
Florida 91.1±4.1
Alabama 90.6±3.5
Massachusetts 90.3±4.8
Dist. of Columbia 90.1±4.7
Maine 90.1±4.1
New Hampshire 89.6±5.1
Nebraska 89.6±4.1
Kentucky 89.2±4.4
Maryland 87.9±4.5
Michigan 87.6±4.9
Illinois 86.7±3.7
"When more than 90% of the population is vaccinated, we have "herd immunity" – this means the disease can't spread because there aren't enough susceptible people in the community."
Problem – Whooping cough vaccine doesn't provide herd immunity.
"Vaccinated adolescents and adults may serve as reservoirs for silent infection and become potential transmitters to unprotected infants (3-11). The whole-cell vaccine for pertussis is protective only against clinical disease, not against infection (15-17). Therefore, even young, recently vaccinated children may serve as reservoirs and potential transmitters of infection."

Sony "mulling over" PS3 SKU strategy
Yet more in the 80Gb US PS3 cancellation saga, this time in the form of a story that Sony hasn't actually made its mind up what to do about the whole issue. Heavy rumour's been pointing to a 120Gb package to replace the 80Gb machine, but if this is to be believed, it's all a load of hooey.
"GameDaily BIZ has learned, however, from a very reliable source close to Sony that the company has yet to actually decide on what the next SKU configuration will be. Apparently the executive teams and product strategists have been meeting this week in Japan. 'There are a lot of different strategies under consideration, but nothing is final yet. They are considering ways to put some relevant distance between the two PS3 SKUs, but it's unclear how that will roll out,' our source indicated."
Lots, lots, lots more on this to come before the inevitable announcement. GDC seems a likely place to us.

No plans for PAL 120Gb PS3
SCEE has no plans to release a rumoured 120-160Gb PS3 SKU, GI's reporting, reponding to persistent rumours that the (maybe) ditched 80Gb US SKU is to be replaced by a package with a bigger hard drive.
"We do not currently have any plans to release a 120GB PlayStation 3 in the UK," said a SCEE spokesperson.
No official comment has yet been released by SCEA on the situation, so whether or not the 80Gb SKU is even to be discontinued is still unclarified.

Someone bothers to call Sony about new PS3 SKU
SCEE has dismissed talk of a 120-160Gb PS3 as "rumour and speculation" following this morning's… rumour and speculation. CVG gets brownie points for working out how to operate buttons on a telephone. The story started in reaction to last week's assumptions that Sony's dumping the 80Gb SKU in America.

Philippe Druillet is one of the most influential French authors and is well known for his baroque drawings and bizarre science-fiction stories. After working as a photographer for a couple of years, Druillet made his debut in comics with 'Lone Sloane, le Mystère des Abîmes' in 1966. Afterwards, he worked as a comedian at the Théatre de Soleil. At the same time, he made his first science-fiction and fantasy illustrations for Opta publishers. Fascinated by 'Elric le Nécromancien', a novel by Michael Moorcock', Druillet made a comics adaptation of the work in 1968.
In 1970, he joined Pilote magazine, and he took on the 'Lone Sloane' series again, using an innovative page-setting and contrasted colors. He also began new series, such as 'Délirius' (text by Jacques Lob), 'Yragaël' and 'Urm le Fou' (text by Demuth). At the same time, he created the character 'Vuzz' for Phénix. In 1975, together with Bernard Farkas, Jean-Pierre Dionnet and Moebius, he founded the publishing house Humanoïdes Associés and the Métal Hurlant periodical. In Métal Hurlant, he continued the 'Vuzz' series and took on 'Gail' and 'Salammbô'.
In 1975 and 1976, after the death of his wife, he drew 'La Nuit', a cry of revolt. He also continued working for Pilote and he began writing scenarios for other artists. As a comics writer, he worked among others with Moebius, Gotlib, Alexis, Bihannic, Picotto and Didier Eberoni. At the end of the 1970s, Druillet began expanding his activities and his focus became multimedia. From 1978 to 1983, Druillet collaborated on Rolf Liebermann's 'Wagner Space Opera' in the Opera of Paris. He founded Space Art Création in 1984 and he made his first glass sculptures. He was also involved with the renovation and the architecture of the Parissien Porte de la Villette subway station. Experimenting with film, photography and painting, Philippe Druillet remains an innovative artist.

They didn't work, part of the problem was that I had to do a complete network reset and right now I got fed up and switched to tmobile since they began to pick up 3G in my area (South Florida), but seriously ST offers better reception than Tmobile. I long since orders another SIM card via mail from ST and will most likely be porting my number back to ST soon.

Thank God for these forums...I'm not the savviest with this stuff but I have been searching the net for some information. My kids want iphones for Christmas. Regardless of what was posted in this thread some pages back, I don't think an ATT contract for a family plan is the way to go. First, the two-year contract is ridiculous. Second, the bill includes 20-22% worth of "fees and taxes" which the sales staff freely admits but quickly (as they're instructed) throw their hands up and blame "the government"..."there's nothing we can do, call your Congressman"!! Interestingly, I have been on ST and VM and both only have a GOVERNMENT MANDATED $1, 911 fee and State Sales tax (6%). Otherwise, the difference is ATT (and Verizon's) fleecing of their customers!!! With the voice, msg, data, It is crazy expensive, EVEN WITH my employer's "discount". So, if nothing more than out of principle, I want to avoid the contract carriers. I plan to get either an unlocked (possibly factory) or ATT iphone (ebay/craigslist, etc) 4s and get a BYOP SIM card from ST. Any issues with that?? I have read of an MMS issue but is that applicable to the unlocked or ATT locked phones on ATT network through ST. I'm sorry for the newbie question, I HAVE read through many a post so I am not just posting blindly. Just really want to make their Christmas without succuming to a raping by ATT!!

I did not read through all the pages (To long)
Does anybody have any personal experience with ST throttling or even disconnecting their service in this thread? It seems to be rumors and not first hand experience. This is the only reason holding me back from switching over. That 100mb a day is something crazy! Thats another thing.....do people exceed 100MB and have any issues?

No voicemail indicator on Straight Talk
Does anyone else have this problem? I have recently ported my number from AT&T to Straight talk and am using an iPhone 4. Everything works great, except I do not get any notification that I have a new voicemail!
I have called straight talk twice, but each time they cannot help and refer me to check the settings on my phone and claim everything is setup fine on their end. I have also put the SIM in an unlocked iPhone 4s as a test and the same thing happens -- no voicemail notifications. Other things I have tried that didn't help: Resetting the network settings on the phone. |

I'm so bleeping angry at mostly Apple right now, and a little at ST. I'm giving my iphone 4 to my mom to use and heard ST was the low cost way to go.
Well now that I've got the number ported over and the phone part working, I'm finding out that it's a royal pain in the ass to get the APN info changed in iOS 6. Looks like my 2 options is to either cut down the Tmo SIM from her old phone to try doing the SIM swap trick, or restoring back to 5.1.1 since I luckily saved the ssh for that before iOS6 came out. Is just going back to 5.1.1 the least hassle thing to do, assuming the restore goes fine? Cheezed off that I can't even register on the ST forum cuz they don't like my Comcast IP for whatever reason. (Hmm, didn't know 6 on the iphone 4 could be JBed, guess that's another option, just not sure if I want to JB the phone she's going to use, don't want to overcomplicate it) Last edited by Bitgod; Dec 16, 2012 at 12:51 AM. |

Poo, thought going back to 5.1.1 would fix issue, but I'm still not seeing a button under Network to change the APNs. Guess I need to get a Tmo SIM. What a hassle.
Eh, ok, did the unlockit thing, data seems to be working. As long as it sticks, that should be good enough. Don't know if my mom needs MMS, but since I'm back at 5.1.1, I JBed it to fix that if needed. Last edited by Bitgod; Dec 16, 2012 at 04:27 AM. |

can anyone confirm that the apn sim swap trick still works on the iphone 5 on iOS 6.0.2?

That won't allow MMS to work, but that'll certainly get data to work.

Yeah I've done it myself. Me and my wife both have an iPhone 4 that we use with straight talk. Mine is jail broken and hers is not. It's an awesome way to save money. Straight talk sim cards that you would use for the iPhone(the iPhone MUST be an AT&T iPhone because Verizon iPhones do not use sim cards) run off AT&T towers( straight talk androids use sprint towers and all there regular phones run off of Verizon towers. Don't ask me why. ). We don't have a home phone, cable or satellite tv, or Internet so since I jail broke my 4 I turn the personal hotspot on and i play my ps3 online, our laptops, and Netflix. So since we have unlimited plans we have a phone, Internet, and all our entertainment for $45 a month.
---------- And yes I had to fix some apn settings |

It's simple and easy to switch, that part isn't difficult. I too have heard rumors of people being warned about excess data usage, but, it hasn't happened to me yet. I watch Netflix occasionally, text, stream music a TON... |

I just set up StraightTalk on my wife's iPhone 4 end of Dec 2012. It's an older AT&T phone which I unlocked legally through AT&T when the old contract expired. It is not jailbroken. It works great on StraightTalk with 3G, MMS, etc. It's AT&T's network. The only issue I had was configuring the data settings which were not accessible through this particular iPhone's Settings panel. I think access to this can be limited by ATT. But I used a pretty slick online utility to set them at http://www.unlockit.co.nz/unlockit/
It seemed legit and so far I've experienced no trojans or malware. The only negative is the lack of customer service at ST... |

Published: 5/27/2012 11:11 PM | Last update: 5/28/2012 10:34 PM Buhler seniors catch elusive state titleTHE FAHRER SIDEJP Lohrentz wasn't ecstatic.He wasn't jumping up and down.
In the moments following the Crusaders' title-clinching run in the 4x400 meter relay, it's safe to say Lohrentz was simply content. "When it comes down to this, it's our race and we (had) to take pride in it," Lohrentz said after stepping down from the awards podium with fellow 4x400 runners and seniors Andrew Pope and Adam and Sam Massey. In the context of Saturday alone, it was a stellar performance. The Buhler boys put together two solid days at the state track and field tournament at Wichita State's Cessna Stadium to claim their first 4A crown since 2004, and they did so by winning that 4x400. After Lohrentz's sixth-place finish in the 200 dash, Buhler was atop the 4A leader board with 42 points. But even in first place with just a few events remaining, they hardly had a commanding lead - Baldwin and Andale were both within striking distance coming into the 4x400 and had their own entries in the final race. "We were a little nervous (before the 4x400), but we knew if we did what we had to we would win," Adam Massey said. "We have confidence in our abilities." And those abilities shined through after two solid legs by Adam Massey and Lohrentz, who built a cushion before his handoff. Pope then took the baton and added some distance between Buhler and Baldwin - literally and figuratively - by running well ahead of Bulldog freshman Joel Halford. And after anchor Sam Massey had cruised around the track, Buhler had its championship and even set the state record in the competition (nipping Osawatomie's 2010 run of three minutes, 21.44 seconds with their 3:21.21) to boot. The story of Buhler's two-day title chase was strong in itself, but this saga stretches back further for the seniors - they've been in tireless pursuit of a state title for years. "It's been something that we've all wanted since middle school or since we were in grade school because we've always known that we had some pretty good athletes in our class," Sam Massey said before the state tournament. "We just always thought we've got to get it somewhere and (the state track tournament) is our last chance to get it. It's kind of been a push to get it because now is our last chance." And to say they've poured themselves into achieving this dream is an understatement. The Crusaders' football team - 43-7 during the seniors' stint at Buhler - could never quite get over the hump in the playoffs. In 2008 and 2009, Buhler saw its seasons cut short by Topeka Hayden after deep runs into the postseason. They finally ended the Hayden hex with an emphatic 21-0 win, but were then blasted by Holton 42-7 in 2010. And then last fall, when the Crusaders' legitimately looked like the team to beat in 4A, Hayden returned to hand them a stinging 21-14 loss. And guys from those football teams, peppered Buhler's track roster. The Masseys, defensive backs in the fall and sprinters in the spring. Engel, a first-semester lineman and second-semester shot putter. Levi Boman, who traded in his fall football pads for a vaulting pole in the spring. And then there's Lohrentz, who starred on both sides of the ball in fall football, spent his winters on the basketball team and ran track to round out his school years. Maroon-clad in all seasons on a crusade for that elusive state championship. "I tried in every sport for four years and this is the last possible chance to win a state title," Lohrentz said before heading to Wichita for state track. So you can understand that when the Emporia State-bound wide receiver finally found what he was looking for - coming in the last possible event at the last possible moment for a championship - it was like the monkey was finally off his back. "It was pretty relieving," Lohrentz said. "It was an awesome way to go out." And this title is just as important to seniors like Pope, who also played soccer, and Chad Godson who was a crucial cog on the 4x100. He may have even saved Buhler's shot at a state title by staying composed after a sloppy handoff between he and Pope on the relay. Godson managed to keep hold of the baton and the lead, handing off to Sam Massey who finished the run for a first place. "I (still) knew we were going to win," Godson said. "I wasn't terrified, I was just like confused and scared." Scared may not be the word for how Engel and Boman felt, but the two seniors were certainly on edge Saturday, having finished their competitions Friday. The two were - like Lohrentz -relieved when it was all said and done. "Once I saw we had the time, once I saw we had first place, I just ran over to (the 4x400 team)," Boman said. This was a state title earned largely on the backs of guys like Boman and Engel. Engel's gutsy showing in the shot landed him in third place while Boman - not expected to score points as a vaulter - still notched a point of his own by finishing seventh in a deep field. "It felt good to place and know that I'm not just part of the team but I'm part of the placers that helped win state," Boman. The underclassmen who helped give the seniors their much sought-after crown deserve just as much credit. Junior Trent Horton devoted his energy to the 4x800 with junior Skylar Hayes, sophomore Garrett Wilkinson and senior Adam Massey and anchored the team to a surprising third-place finish by cutting 11 seconds off their seed time from regionals. They had entered state as the 10th-ranked relay. Then there's sophomore Riley Allen who contributed solid points on Friday in the long jump (fifth place) and saved his best performance for Saturday, sprinting to a silver medal in the 100 dash after clocking in at 10.90 seconds. "Honestly, we have a lot of seniors this year that I'm close to like Mason (Engel), Andrew (Pope), Adam and Sam Massey, JP Lohrentz and Chad Godson," Allen said. "We're all really close and I (wanted) to do it for them and I'm glad I got it done." And the seniors were much obliged. "Our 4x800 got third when they were 10th coming in. Riley Allen, he's not supposed to score points and get second in the 100 and fifth in long jump. That's huge and I know those guys did it for us," Engel said. "It means a lot to all of us." And maybe ecstatic wasn't the emotion Lohrentz and the seniors should've felt Saturday night when they accepted their trophy. There was simply nothing to feel but satisfaction and few, if any, words to go along with it.
"It's crazy. It's indescribable how it feels," Boman said about the state title. "We talked about it all the way through grade school - looking at the football field, looking at the track, saying 'I wish I could do that.'"

Volunteers help make the Greater Chicago Food Depository one of the most efficient charities around. Thanks to the help of dedicated volunteers—who provided more than 98,000 hours of volunteer time last year—the Food Depository is able to feed the hungry in our community more efficiently.
We provide food for nearly 678,000 hungry people each year with the support of our volunteers!
Individual opportunities at the Food Depository

What do you mean by 'repack'?
Repack sessions are the most common volunteer opportunity at the Food Depository. These are held in three hour time slots. Projects include repacking bulk products such as pasta or rice to individual/family portions, assembling boxes with assorted food, checking expiration dates, labeling products, gleaning products, etc. While projects are determined based on warehouse needs, all repack sessions are spent in the warehouse.
When do you have volunteer repack sessions?
Opportunities are available Tuesday through Saturday. Morning, afternoon and evening sessions are held throughout the week on certain days. Availability varies based on number of people in your group. Be sure to book ahead to get a spot for your group. Please refer to our volunteer calendar to check for available dates. All available sessions will be posted up to four months in advance.
How many people can I bring?
The Volunteer Services department schedules volunteers based on the needs in the warehouse as well as number of people needed to complete the projects. The number of people in your group will affect the days and times available for you to volunteer. Typically, the Food Depository can accommodate groups up to 50 people. Please know that the number of people in the group will be important to know when scheduling a date to volunteer.
What should I wear?
Volunteers must wear long pants and close-toed shoes. You will not be permitted to work in the warehouse if you are wearing sandals or shorts/ short skirt. Depending on the project you are assigned to, you may be asked to remove jewelry above the waist (including piercings, but rings are acceptable).
How old do I have to be to volunteer?
Volunteers need to be 14 years old to volunteer at the Food Depository during regular sessions. Ages 16 and older can volunteer self supervised. Ages 14 and 15 need to have one adult supervisor per ten youths.
The Food Depository hosts Kids Days once a month on a Saturday afternoon. Kids ages 5 to 13 may volunteer with an adult during Kids Days only. Please call for details and availability.
Do I have to schedule in advance or can I just show up to volunteer?
All volunteering must be scheduled in advance. The schedule is available four months at a time.
Do we need to bring anything to our volunteer session?
In addition to a positive attitude(!), we ask that each volunteer bring at least one nonperishable food item. Priority items include: cereal (cold and hot), canned vegetables, soup, stew, tuna, canned fruit, rice, beans, pasta, pasta sauce, shelf-stable milk, peanut butter, jelly, macaroni and cheese.
Is there a place to lock up my personal belongings?
While the Food Depository encourages volunteers not to bring any personal belongings with them, there are a limited number of lockers available.
Do we have to attend a training session prior to volunteering?
Volunteers for repack sessions will receive a brief orientation introducing new volunteers to the Food Depository and detailed description and instructions of the project prior to your session. Some volunteer positions do require training.
Will we be required to lift heavy objects?
Repack volunteers are not required to do heavy lifting, but should be prepared to stand for 90 minutes at a time with some light lifting and bending, depending on the project. Some volunteer positions including produce delivery and loading vehicles do require heavy lifting.
Are there volunteer opportunities on Sunday?
The Food Depository is closed on Sunday. Please contact a member agency for possible Sunday opportunities.
How do I get there?
Visit the Food Depository's contacts page for driving and public transportation directions.
Is there parking available?
Yes, there is non-metered, non-permit street parking surrounding the building.
How do I sign up to complete court-ordered community service?
Anyone volunteering to complete court-ordered community service must be approved by our Human Resources department prior to scheduling. Please fill out an application (PDF) and return it to the Volunteer Services department along with any court-issued paperwork stating the nature of the offense.

Good diner food with decemt priced.Only place for freshmade food in East Missoula
Quite good, though it's what my CA friends would call a 'gringo' burrito (gorganzola cheese!?! but it is good on the veggie option). Fresh ingredients, good salsa, friendly staff, clean, value for money! I'll give 'em the 5th starr if they feature local produce...
to with previous comment
My friend and neighbor loves biga. I went all you can eat pizza $10 day that's why I find out my favorite there. I like to go there only for winter squwash pizza.
I wish they have other good pizza combination, too.
I liked burger but I always order half portion because too big.
I like add a lot of vegies in it.
I wish they have small size french fly. It's good for people who eat a lot but not me. so I need to take other friend to share it.
only one time I got little low meat so too bad.
Good food, cool people, what more can be said?
Went to vist Montana, And during our travels we found a nice Bar/Louge in a small town of Hamilton. Dont get me wrong, there are alot of bars, But this was so clean and refreshing, the Bartener was awsome, and very attentive. If you want a nice place to have a drink in hamilton Montana.. The Banque Club is the place to go..
Bad Habits was great. The play is a little dated, but definitely funny. The acting was really great. The actors almost all took this play all the way, no holding back.
This place has been greatly improved and a visitors center has been added at the base of the buffalo jump. The trail is fun to walk. Lots of wildlife in the spring...just watch out for the baby rattlers!
Good Thai food for Missoula but would not fulfill most individuals needs for Thai who have had true thai or lived in a city.
In regards to tig233's review, I wanted to say that I have always received great service at James Bar. Don't let one rare experience influence you. This place is usually spot-on with their service and their food.
The Four Star Bar is a great place to dance and party on the weekends. During the week its a great place to meet the locals and have great conversation.
So I'd agree with Smitty regarding the atmosphere at the neighborhood location. It's cavernous and less than warm and inviting, but THE FOOD MORE THAN MAKES UP FOR IT!!! Having lived the majority of my life in Chicago, the one thing I miss constantly is food. Good, authentic ethnic restaurants are VERY hard to come by in Western Montana, but dinner at Cafe Dolce has really hit the spot with the seasonal, changing, Italian dinner selections. They are currently serving a Braised Short Rib Ragu that is out of this world. There are several other pasta dishes that are delicious. Their pizzas are terrific, and don't get me started on desserts. With great food, and a great wine selection, dinner at Cafe Dolce's neighborhood location has become a fairly regular choice despite the warehouse-like atmosphere.
The Crab Benedict is awesome. Plus there is shrimp in their Bloody Marys!
Greatly improved! The new menu is so good. the seared tuna as an app. or sandwich was fantastic! haven't been to the Horse in a wile & was glad to see the new choices. Check 'em out!
Their Hot & Sour soup is the best in town! When I don't feel good it's the only cure, say goodbye to Chicken Noodle - order the Hot & Sour!!
The breakfast is a must try. The coffee's good. It's a bit of a wait on weekends, but worth it.
A sandwich is a sandwich. A sandwich in a bread-can?? Now that's a different story.
Taco Del Sol is great. With 4 locations here in town (including Boca Ray) you always know what you're going to get. They don't have lots of options or ways to customize your burrito/taco, but again, consistency is key. Definitely great for lunch or dinner, the restaurants are nice to meet with friends, sit outside, or enjoy a lunch by yourself.

PORTLAND, Oregon — Robbie Findley scored the lone goal as Real Salt Lake advanced to the MLS Cup with a 1-0 victory over the Portland Timbers on Sunday.
Salt Lake won the two-legged playoff 5-2 after beating the Timbers 4-2 two weeks ago at Rio Tinto Stadium. Salt Lake, which won the league championship in 2009, will play Sporting Kansas City for this championship on Dec. 7.
Sunday's victory extended Salt Lake's unbeaten streak against Portland to 10 straight matches. The Timbers remain winless against Real Salt Lake since their first meeting when Portland joined MLS in the 2011 season.

They sell metal polish at Halfords .. £2.99
Use your discount code at cleanyourcar if you are a club member - Tim (the site owner) is a good lad and stocks the best value foam applicator pads!
iirc 'cliosport' will get you free postage at carwashnwax
at clean your car you will get 5% off with 'cliosport'
lol that took £0.90 of my £20 order. better than noubt
As some of the companys don't support or give CS discount not sure if it will happen.
Those that do should should have a sticky like the Carwash 'n' wax one though IMO.

It is a good idea anyway even without discounts as a reference tools. Plus it doesn't make us look like complete losers having loads of detailing sites saved on our favourites!
They can get virtually anything, you can order online or call.
use "Gabi" as the discount code and that will provide you a 10% discount.
just ordered this lol

i would be 2 scared to open it.
they say you get free refils for life, well you could just put it in another tub sell it and get them refilled

It is not as easy as thast so it seems, there has been a fair bit of discussion about that and the Zymol Vintage refills over on Detailing World.
The big pain is you also have to ship the pot back to be refilled in the US every time.
yeah lol it would probably take 3months for them to ship it back.
Well dont worry i aint going to buy it
Shame I would have drove up north for a coat or 2!

I've had to hide multiple pages worth of posts because they're completely littered with game spoilers, and our Spoiler Policy is quite clear that no spoilers are allowed in anime threads (even behind spoiler tags). I may restore some of the posts after I have the chance to sort through them all in detail. I'd ask in the meantime that all the game players please create a game thread where this sort of discussion can continue.

btw, listen to WA2's OST again today and once again realize how much better WA2's bgm is compared with WA1's despite its inferior vocal songs (or singers?). My favorite track is "Kotoba dekinai omoi", the most emotional bgm in WA2 imo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAHYTrRxJPA |

When was the last time Hitomi Nabatame (Kazusa's seiyuu) had a starring role? It'll be great to hear her as a main character in this series--too bad she doesn't sing.
And I'm glad that Madoka Yonezawa's fortunes have improved, from being a supporting character in K-ON! to a main character in a series that also gets to showcase her singing talents. Still a mystery why she signed on for the original eroge though, given how much of a career liability that seems to be for female seiyuus in Japan . . . |

oh really?
I had the impression that a lot of seiyuu are doing eroge roles. Albeit under an alias The best recent example I can think of is this game http://www.eukleia.co.jp/eushully/eu14/eu14_des.html Star cast there.. all under aliases. and before this, there was Majikoi I don't think otaku really care about "2D" shenanigans. I think they only make a huge deal if the seiyuu is caught having a real boyfriend, and if that seiyuu is also an idol. Also, didn't Kuribayashi Minami get her big start by voicing Suzumiya Haruka from Kimi ga Nozomu Eien? edit: http://www.kenproduction.co.jp/member.php?mem=w42 This site says that Nabatame Hitomi's most recent major role is Cure Heart from Doki Doki Precure. (Precure is a huge franchise)

You are severly exaggerating to call this a "star cast", because the only 3 noticable seiyuu's are Miki Shinichiro , Wakamoto Norio and Touma Yumi and all of these seiyuu don't even do that much voicework these days. Also neither of these 3 seiyuu's regularly voices for eroges. And eventhough i have heard of most of the regular "eroge seiyuu cast" from this game, i don't even think this is a star seiyuu cast under eroge standards, because the only few "famous" ones are "Kitami Rikka" and "Kawashima Rino" and atmost a few more. |

You won't find super-famous seiyuu like Nana Mizuki or Yoko Hikasa caught dead voicing eroge or H-OVAs. And just look at how much flak the otakus give seiyuu who prove "less than pure," like Aya Hirano, or Aki Toyosaki who was confirmed to be living with her boyfriend Tom H@ck, or even Ayana Taketatsu who was spotted with a man (the otakus didn't even confirm the man's relationship, if any, to her before heaping abuse on her reputation). The most famous female seiyuus in Majikoi who have to make (censored) noises are Yuu Asakawa and Shizuka Itou, and they still have to publicly deny ever acting in the 18+ versions. A damn shame, considering they're only using their voices--they're not pornographic actresses by any means. Quote:
The situation for eroge voice actresses is normally much bleaker. Look at Ryouko Tanaka (AKA "Hikaru Isshiki") and Harumi Sakurai (AKA "Kazane"), who starred alongside each other and Ami Koshimizu for H2O: Footprints in the Sand. Tanaka's and Sakurai's acting abilities are beyond reproach (especially the latter's who starred as Yurippe in Angel Beats!), and yet they've hardly appeared in anime outside of 18+ OVAs and eroge adaptations. It's a crying shame. I stand corrected. Still, White Album 2 will be a nice new opportunity for Hitomi Nabatame to use her deeper voice rather than her cutesy high-pitched voice. If I had to choose between the two main heroines, I'd have to say I'm a fan of Kazusa. |

but, there's also Mizuhashi Kaori doing this http://www.eukleia.co.jp/eushully/eu...eu14_ch04.html and Keiji Fujiwara doing this http://www.eukleia.co.jp/eushully/eu...eu14_ch11.html and I think there's Eri Kitamura in there somewhere

Mizuhashi Kaori is "more well-known", eventhough personally i don't think she should be listed as "famous" especially next to the 4 seiyuu's who were mentioned earlier. I don't think i have heard KitaEri among any characters and i doubt she is doing any roles for eroges because she is popular enough to get regular anime roles edit: because this doesn't deserve it's own post Why are we almost going almost off topic with this ? The talk about how famous seiyuu's are is fairly pointless because White album 2 doesn't even have that well-known seiyuu's in it. Last edited by hyl; 2013-04-16 at 17:53. |

And Nana Mizuki has done at least one semi lewd scene. You can find it on nico nico douga. Quote:
But anyway, yes, I know there is a certain line female performers must not cross. It's unfair like that. And this is basically the premise behind the first White Album and the recent arc in Bakuman. But to my knowledge it only applies to things they do in real life. I'm not sure.

It is more about the fact that you are appearing in 18+ game rather than what role you do in that game. |

But I think the shame that seiyuus get for making (censored) noises is just stupid. Quote:
In any case, I do hope that Madoka Yonezawa and Yoriko Nagata (Setsuna's and Koharu's seiyuus in WA2, respectively) don't get too much flak from having had to make (censored) noises for the original game, and that their fortunes will improve after the entire WA2 anime has aired. |
