NEWS August 27, 2014 Press Release, Statement of William W. Thompson, Ph.D., Regarding the 2004 Article Examining the Possibility of a Relationship Between MMR Vaccine and Autism FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - AUGUST 27,2014 STATEMENT OF WILLIAM W. THOMPSON, Ph.D., REGARDING THE 2004 ARTICLE EXAMINING THE POSSIBILITY OF A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MMR VACCINE AND AUTISM My name is William Thompson. I am a Senior Scientist with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, where I have worked since 1998. I regret that my coauthors and I omitted statistically significant information in our 2004 article published in the journal Pediatrics. The omitted data suggested that African American males who received the MMR vaccine before age 36 months were at increased risk for autism. Decisions were made regarding which findings to report after the data were collected, and I believe that the final study protocol was not followed. I want to be absolutely clear that I believe vaccines have saved and continue to save countless lives. I would never suggest that any parent avoid vaccinating children of any race. Vaccines prevent serious diseases, and the risks associated with their administration are vastly outweighed by their individual and societal benefits. My concern has been the decision to omit relevant findings in a particular study for a particular sub group for a particular vaccine. There have always been recognized risks for vaccination and I believe it is the responsibility of the CDC to properly convey the risks associated with receipt of those vaccines. I have had many discussions with Dr. Brian Hooker over the last 10 months regarding studies the CDC has carried out regarding vaccines and neurodevelopmental outcomes including autism spectrum disorders. I share his belief that CDC decision-making and analyses should be transparent. I was not, however, aware that he was recording any of our conversations, nor was I given any choice regarding whether my name would be made public or my voice would be put on the Internet. I am grateful for the many supportive e-mails that I have received over the last several days. I will not be answering further questions at this time. I am providing information to Congressman William Posey, and of course will continue to cooperate with Congress. I have also offered to assist with reanalysis of the study data or development of further studies. For the time being, however, I am focused on my job and my family. Reasonable scientists can and do differ in their interpretation of information. I will do everything I can to assist any unbiased and objective scientists inside or outside the CDC to analyze data collected by the CDC or other public organizations for the purpose of understanding whether vaccines are associated with an increased risk of autism. There are still more questions than answers, and I appreciate that so many families are looking for answers from the scientific community. My colleagues and supervisors at the CDC have been entirely professional since this matter became public. In fact, I received a performance-based award after this story came out. I have experienced no pressure or retaliation and certainly was not escorted from the building, as some have stated. Dr. Thompson is represented by Frederick M. Morgan,Jr., Morgan Verkamp, LLC, Cincinnati, Ohio, www.morganverkamp.com. http://sharylattkisson.com/questions-surrounding-review-of-challenged-vaccine-autism-study
Questions Surrounding Review of Challenged Vaccine-Autism Study by sattkisson on September 10, 2014 Did the medical journal Pediatrics stand by a questioned vaccine-autism study without interviewing the coauthor who confessed to and exposed alleged scientific misconduct? If so, that would deviate from what should be standard procedure in such an investigation, according to internationally recognized medical ethicist Dr. Michael Carome. If the evidence seems substantial, the journal should contact all co-authors, present them with the allegations and supporting evidence, and ask them to respond, says Carome, a research ethics expert who heads the Health Research Group at the watchdog group Public Citizen. Last month, William Thompson, a senior scientist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) stepped forward to say that he and his CDC coauthors omitted key data showing a link between MMR vaccine and autism in African American children. The study was published in 2004 in the journal Pediatrics. I regret that my coauthors and I omitted statistically significant information, said Thompson in a statement issued through his attorney August 27. The omitted data suggested that African American males who received the MMR vaccine before age 36 months were at increased risk for autism. Decisions were made regarding which findings to report after the data were collected, and I believe that the final study protocol was not followed. It may be unprecedented for the author of a scientific, peer-reviewed article to publicly expose alleged flaws in his own work and that of his colleagues. Upon receiving such an allegation, the journal editors should ask the co-author making the allegations to submit them in writing along with the supporting evidence, says Carome. In this case, that should include the data that was allegedly withheld improperly. However, it appears officials with Pediatrics may have disregarded Thompsons allegations without speaking to him or examining his documentation. That would mean they interviewed only the co-authors who are accused of improprieties. When asked about its review process, Pediatrics spokeswoman Susan Stevens Martin initially seemed to imply that the journal had interviewed Thompson. Theres a standard process that journals follow when an article is questioned, Martin said in an email. Those discussions took place between the editors of Pediatrics and the authors of this study, and the editors concluded the research was appropriately conducted. When repeatedly pressed on whether Thompson was consulted, Martin avoided a direct answer. The editors followed our normal protocol and are satisfied with the responses by the CDC authors, she stated, again implying Thompsona CDC authorwas among those consulted. But a source familiar with Thompson claims that Pediatrics officials never contacted him about his allegations. When asked for details about its review process and why Thompson wasnt consulted, the Pediatrics spokeswoman would only say, The journal takes allegations of the use of fraudulent data seriously and that it investigated the allegations in accordance with the Committee on Publication Ethics guidelines and has decided that a retraction is not warranted. The Committee on Publication Ethics guidelines states that a journal should issue an expression of concern about an article if authors produce conflicting accounts. Pediatrics is published by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), which receives significant funding from vaccine makers but will not disclose the amount. As a publisher we take very seriously any questions about articles in our journal and have a set procedure to investigate such issues. We have followed that process, discussed the research methods with the authors, and have determined to take no action regarding the article. Additional questions about the study and its data should be referred to CDC, said Martin. |

Here's some important reading to start with. Sorry about any cognitive dissonance it may cause.
NEWS August 27, 2014 Press Release, Statement of William W. Thompson, Ph.D., Regarding the 2004 Article Examining the Possibility of a Relationship Between MMR Vaccine and Autism FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - AUGUST 27,2014 http://sharylattkisson.com/cdc-responds-to-allegation-it-omitted-vaccine-autism-study-link-576
CDC Responds to Allegation it Omitted Vaccine-Autism Study Link by sattkisson on August 28, 2014 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is responding to a charge from one of its own senior scientists that it omitted key data in a 2004 study that would have revealed a link between autism and a commonly-required childhood vaccine, MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella). The allegation was made by CDC epidemiologist William Thompson in a statement this week issued through his attorney. It states: I regret that my coauthors and I omitted statistically significant information in our 2004 article published in the journal Pediatrics. The omitted data suggested that African American males who received the MMR vaccine before age 36 months were at increased risk for autism. It is highly unusual, if not unprecedented, for a sitting CDC senior scientist to blow the whistle on alleged scientific misconduct involving a study article that he co-authored. In this instance, the impact of the charge is magnified by more than a decade of allegations from autism advocates who say the federal government and pharmaceutical interests have worked to downplay or hide associations between vaccines and autism. A spokesman for the journal Pediatrics today said the publication stands by the study despite the news. Theres a standard process that journals follow when an article is questioned, said the spokesman. Those discussions took place between the editors of Pediatrics and the authors of this study, and the editors concluded the research was appropriately conducted. Pediatrics is published by the American Academy of Pediatrics, which accepts vaccine industry funding. The Director of the CDC Immunization Safety Office, Dr. Frank DeStefano, is a co-author of the now-questioned study which has been widely-cited to dispel an MMR-autism link. DeStefano is frequently quoted as an expert who debunks vaccine-autism ties. I stand by the research and the conclusions in our 2004 paper, and Ill reiterate that the evidence, thus far, the weight of the evidence, is against a causal association between vaccines and autism, DeStefano told me in a telephone interview this week. <> The CDCs DeStefano acknowledges that he and his study co-authors changed their study analysis plan midstream, which resulted in reducing the statistical vaccine-autism link among black boys. But he says they did so for good scientific reason. (Vaccine) exposure around (three years of age) is just not biologically plausible to have a causal association with autism, DeStefano says. I mean autism wouldve already started by then it probably starts in the womb. So I think from a biological argument, its implausible this was a causal association. <> This week, in response to a query, the CDC stated that it is not currently investigating the relation between vaccines and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Further, CDC does not have any planned research addressing vaccines and autism, said a CDC spokesman. CDC believes that this topic has been thoroughly studied and no causal links have been found. Current CDC ASD related research focuses on determining how many people have ASD and understanding risk factors and causes for ASD.CDC spokesman More.

Note about Dr. David L. Lewis.
National Whistleblowers Center: Meet the Whistleblowers (35) Note: Dr. Janet Chandler (As a young attorney President Obama worked on Dr. Chandlers case. The Supreme Court upheld Dr. Chandlers lawsuit.) http://www.whistleblowers.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=74
Dr. David L. Lewis Dr. David Lewis cutting edge scientific research forced the EPA to abandon its policy of promoting the land application of sewage sludge on farm land. Dr. Lewis lost his job and his case in ongoing. Dr. David Lewis, a former senior research microbiologist with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencys Office of Research & Development, is the only EPA scientist to publish first-authored research articles in Nature, Lancet and Nature Medicine. Dr. Lewis is an internationally recognized research microbiologist who discovered, at the University of Georgia (UGA) in the early 1990s, that the AIDS virus could be transmitted by certain types of dental equipment that dentists share between patients. His research, published in Lancet and Nature Medicine, led to the current heat-sterilization standard for dentistry worldwide. He has also studied similar problems with flexible endoscopes used for common medical procedures such as colorectal cancer screening. As a senior-level (GS-15) research microbiologist for EPAs Office of Research & Development, Dr. Lewis used DNA-fingerprinting in the late 1990s to study the effects of global climate change on the breakdown of pesticides by bacteria. This research, which he published in Nature, was awarded EPAs Science Achievement Award. EPA officials who developed the Agencys sewage sludge regulations, however, moved to shut down his research when he began investigating illnesses and deaths linked to EPA programs promoting the agricultural use of processed sewage sludge. Nevertheless, his research in this area prompted the CDC to issue guidelines protecting workers handling processed sewage sludge. At UGA, Dr. Lewis directs the Georgia-Oklahoma Center for Research on the Environment. There, he has published additional research articles concerning the public health and the environment, including a first-authored research article in Nature dealing with global climate change. He also organized and published a five-year prospective epidemiological study of hepatitis C cross-infection in Egypt. Dr. Lewis was awarded the Lexington Leadership Award in 2000 and the Accuracy in Media Award. He is Senior Science Advisor to the National Whistleblowers Center and a member of its Board of Directors. At the NWC, he organizes conferences and other events concerning the use of academic institutions by federal agencies to support government policies and quash independent scientific research. He also works with religious and community groups to foster acceptance of advancing scientific knowledge, promote religious tolerance, and discourage the use of the democratic process to empower religious movements. Dr. Lewis work has been covered in numerous news articles, editorials, and documentaries in a wide variety of professional, scientific and popular publications, and broadcasts including Science, Lancet, JAMA, The Scientist, National Geographic, Readers Digest, Voice of America, Paul Harvey, Time, Newsweek, U.S. News & World Report, Forbes, NY Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, London Times, NPRs All Things Considered, PBS Healthweek, PBS Technopolitics, CBS Evening News, ABCs Primetime Live, and BBC Panorama. Dr. Lewis is available to speak about scientific fraud and environmental advocacy. Author: Science for Sale |

Economic and Social Upgrading in Global Production Networks: Problems of Theory and Measurement
Abstract The massive globalization of production led by large firms in industrialized countries, combined with the policy shift in developing countries toward export-oriented growth, has meant that economic development has increasingly become synonymous with "economic upgrading" within global production networks (GPNs), that is, moving into higher productivity and higher value-added aspects of production and export. There is much research on economic upgrading in global production networks, connecting economic growth and economic upgrading to international trade performance. There has been less analysis of what such upgrading means for living standards, including wages, work conditions, economic rights, gender equality and economic security. In this paper, we refer to improvements in these aspects of economic and social life as "social upgrading". This paper reviews the ways in which economic and social upgrading in GPNs are measured. In this paper we focus mainly on developing countries. In the process we also scrutinize the theoretical connection between these two dimensions of upgrading within GPNs.

"It ran for about nine months then began to cut out, failing to generate power even on a sunny day."
The end of the line position along the grid probably sends a good amount of noise to the inverters. Noise that could well be detected as a fail in the grid. Then the inverters shut down. Why the inverters don't sample and re-establish connection to the grid could be a programming change needed within the inverter(s). It could also be the owner doesn't realise that the utility might be browning out and causing the inverter(s) to trip. This is a utility problem not a solar PV system problem.

Start out by finding an electrician that can install a line monitoring recorder on your main C.B. panel and see what the electric grid is doing, from sags to surges to phase loss, frequency shift and total harmonic distortion on the line. The utillity may need to replace the transformer that feeds your property.

Market Preview: The Bulls Finally Blink (Correct)
Updated from March 6 to correct first name of American Eagle CEO.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Wasn't all this trouble with Greece supposed to be sorted?
The major U.S. equity indices finally suffered through a good old-fashioned sell-off on Tuesday, the first one of 2012. The reasons behind the rush for the exits again were rather vague. A recession for Europe has long been in the mix for market prognosticators, and the idea that everything was going to go smoothly with Greece when nothing has since the country entered this bailout phase was pure fantasy.
What's more interesting is that the bulls blinked for the first time since this rally began in earnest. Wednesday's session could shape up to be a real test, and at least one trading veteran thinks more pain lies ahead.

piperookie (21) | Medium | Medium | Medium | Pleasant |
I can remember my Stanwell pouch of Belle Epoque. A summer, cool flavored blend with a complexity of flavors that pleasantly surprised by the strong presence of each fragrance, highlighted strongly in the mouth and nose.
I could taste the exotic sweet tart taste of mango, vanilla that was present, at least in the first half of the bowl-end rum which i personally didn't like it much,in my pipe but there it was.
This blends tend to leave a chemical aftertaste.So ..somewhat recommended.

A fruitful and aromatic tobacco. It has some sweetness from Virginia and Burley. It is smashed in pieces, with a very good perfume when you open the box, but after that, nothing. Strong burning on the tongue, almost no flavor which could match to what it promises, ie Black Cavendish, fruits, Mango, Vanilla and dried fruits.
Were all these flavors mixed up a lot?

I bought some this based on its beautiful name. Never had heard of it but my B&M swore it was good stuff. Well, if you like Bob's Chocolate or Blue Note or (pick one) of Lane's worst aromatic tobaccos, this baby is for you. The casing/toppings or both really overwhelm. Even though There are three basic types of tobacco or two and one method(Caavendish), The flavorings overwhelm them all. I did catch a bit of a fairly good Virginia every once in awhile but it wasn't worth waiting around for while smoking this weed.I cannot recommend that anyone except the smokers of really heavy aromatics spend their money on this. On a surprising note, the stuff actually lights fairly easily and it isn't a battle to keep it lit. I won't be buying anymore of this in the foreseeable future.

This must be one of the nicest blends I have ever tasted. It is close to orgasmic actually. It is rare that the pipe smoker can enjoy a good taste as well as a pleasant aroma. Well this is one of the rare ones.
The only thing that gets to me is getting it into a smokable state. All that handling to get it finer is too much owrk but I guess for the nature of this smoke quite worth the effort.
The taste is really great and is most definitely the best tasing blend I have ever smoked.

Indiana State University students can now pay their student fees online and paper bills will be replaced with a fully electronic system in less than a year, ISU officials announced.
The university last month began sending electronic statements to students along with paper bills. The parallel billing system will continue through the fall and spring semesters and the university will switch entirely to e-bills in July 2012.
"Many people are already accustomed to online banking or paying bills online. We think students and parents will find e-billing easy, convenient and secure," said Domenic Nepote, associate vice president for business affairs and assistant treasurer. "The eventual elimination of paper bills also supports the university's commitment to environmental sustainability."
Students can access their accounts and make payments online via the Student Account Suite by going to http://www.indstate.edu/payisu. Another option would be to visit the university's one-stop web page for student services, Sycamore Express, at www.indstate.edu/express and click on "Pay your bill" under the Billing and Finances section. Payments may be made via Visa, MasterCard or electronic withdrawal from a checking or savings account.
Students may also allow other individuals, such as parents, to access their accounts by setting up authorized users who will also be permitted to sign in to the account suite to view account information and make payments.
While the university is switching entirely to electronic billing, all current payment options will continue to be available.
Students and/or parents with questions about electronic billing may call 812-237-3511 or send an e-mail to email@example.com.
Contact: Domenic Nepote, associate vice president for business affairs and assistant treasurer, Indiana State University, 812-237-7992.
Writer: Dave Taylor, media relations director, Office of Communications and Marketing, Indiana State University, 812-237-3743 or email@example.com
Students can now pay fees online and paper bills will be replaced with a fuly electronic system by the summer of 2012.

Cape Brett
Cape Brett is rich in early Maori history with remains of ancient pa sites (fortified villages) visible at various locations. There is also an electric fence that crosses the width of the peninsular, designed to reduce the impact of possums on coastal bush. The 14-metre high Cape Brett lighthouse stands at the entrance to the Bay of Islands.
You can walk Cape Brett or Whangamumu tracks through beaches and native and regenerating bush.
On your way to Cape Brett Lighthouse you'll walk through native and regenerating bush. Rich in ancient Maori history, a number of pa sites also exist in the area. Whangamumu Harbour was once a whaling station.

Some financial advisers are riddled with conflicts of interest, making extra cash for themselves when they put your money in bad investments. Hidden fees and sales commissions can secretly gobble up thousands of your hard-earned dollars.
Itasca-based Gogo, which installs Internet Wi-Fi capability for airlines and on private aircraft, reported a narrower loss and higher revenue than expected Thursday as it racked up orders for its advanced ground-based system and newer satellite-based connectivity.
United Airlines last month issued a stern and blunt bulletin to its pilots expressing concerns over safety.
United Airlines on Wednesday said it is upgrading the food offerings on its regional jets for premium-cabin passengers.
Itasca-based Gogo said Wednesday it has a deal with Delta Air Lines to outfit more than 250 aircraft with speedier inflight Internet access.
Chances are, you have no good idea how much your next flight should cost, according to a new survey that suggests consumers are terrible at estimating airfares.
Federal regulators ignored many local competitors in its claim that the proposed merger of Sysco and Rosemont-based US Foods would significantly reduce competition and raise prices, lawyers for Sysco argued Friday.
You know who likes all the fees airlines charge? Customers do, one airline industry analyst contends, and he has an idea for a bunch of new ones.

The U.S. Transportation Department's Federal Highway Administration is seeking to move forward with a study about truck parking.
In a Federal Register notice published this week it said it is seeking approval from the White House Office of Management and Budget for what it calls the "U.S.DOT Survey and Comparative Assessment of Truck Parking Facilities."
The U.S. DOT was directed by Congress to perform this survey in the highway funding reauthorization bill that was signed into law last year to evaluate the capability of the states to provide adequate parking and rest facilities for commercial motor vehicles engaged in interstate transportation.
FHWA is looking to get input from state transportation departments as well as from owners of private trucking facilities, such as truckstops, along with trucking companies and truck drivers.
There is no indication when the survey would begin.
You can read the Federal Register notice here.

BogbeanMenyanthes trifoliataCommon names
Bogbean (botanical name, Menyanthes trifoliata L.) is an aquatic or semi-aquatic plant, often found growing in soft wet lands, and, hence, its common name. While 'bog' means a marshy land, 'bean' in the plant's name denotes the even-edged glossy leaves which have some resemblance to the appearance of the young broad beans. Since, each leaf of the herb is split into three leaflets, the plant's specific name is derived from the Latin word 'trifoliata', which means three leaves. Characteristically, the leaves as well as the flowers of bogbean appear above the water level, growing from a crawling storage part of the plant akin to a root and called 'rhizomes'. The flower stalk of bogbean is smooth and may grow up to a height of 30 cm and each flower stalk bears several subtle, fluffy flowers that have resemblance to stars having a pinkish colour on the external side of the petals. The bogbean is also known as 'bog hop' and this aquatic plant obtained this alternative common name owing to the use of its leaves in the form of a flavoring agent in making beer. It may be noted that only bees find easy accesses to bogbean, since it generally grows in swamps and marshlands that are virtually inaccessible as well as in cold water. In effect, people who come across bogbean growing in the wild are generally fortunate and can never mistake this species for any other herb, since bogbean is amongst the most attractive and striking aquatic plants. When the bogbean flowers are in the phase of buds, they have a subtle whitish-pink hue and when the petals open completely, the flowers are swathed by a supple white color fluff or tassel. Humans have held bogbean in high esteem since ages owing to the gorgeousness of its flowers. In addition, the leaves of the bogbean, which enclose substances that are potently bitter to taste, were used in the form of an herbal medication. In earlier times, physicians in Europe employed bogbean leaves in the form of a cathartic as well as a medication to cure fevers, constipation, scabies, scurvy, rheumatism and dropsy (formerly known as edema or an anomalous fluid build up inside the body tissues). In addition, bogbean was also reputed for being a useful tonic and for promoting appetite. European settlers who established colonies in America discovered bogbean growing in nature and employed it to the fullest extent like they did in their native lands. A number of native Indian tribes in America boiled the rhizome of bogbean in water to prepare a decoction and used it to cure spitting blood as well as different other internal medical conditions. They also used this aquatic herb to cure jaundice, skin complaints as well as to flush out parasitic intestinal worms. Parts usedLeaves. UsesBogbean is an intensely bitter herb which helps to promote appetite as well as invigorates the secretion of digestive juices. This herb is generally taken to enhance a weak or dysfunctional digestion, especially if the patient also experiences uneasiness in the abdominal region. In addition, bogbean is also used to facilitate weight gain and is considered to be a useful natural medication for treating rheumatoid arthritis, particularly when this malady is related to debility, weight loss and absence of vigour. Generally, herbalists prescribe bogbean in conjugation with other herbs, for instance white willow and celery seed. It may be noted that bogbean has intimate relation with gentians that are well-known bitter herbs employed in the form of a digestive as well as a common body tonic. This herb too may be used in the same way, but it may cause irritation to the digestive system, especially if the patient is enduring gastric infection or inflammation. Bogbean possesses astringent, anti-inflammatory, carminative (a medication that eases flatulence), digestive, cathartic, diuretic, deobstruent (a medication that helps to remove obstructions), emetic, febrifuge, emmenagogue (a medication that promotes menstrual discharge), stomachic, hypnotic and tonic attributes. Every part of bogbean plant is therapeutically active, but the leaves are used most frequently. It is best to collect the leaves of this aquatic plant in the later part of spring or early part summer and dried out prior to use. Using the fresh leaves may result in vomiting. An infusion prepared with the leaves of bogbean is used to treat muscular debility in M.E., persistent infections accompanied with weakness and fatigue, anorexia (inability to eat), indigestion and rheumatism. When this infusion is given in minor doses of 10 grains it enhances vitality of the stomach and facilitates in digestion. Patients suffering from dysentery, diarrhea or colitis should avoid this herb. In addition, taking the herb in excessive doses may result in vomiting. Culinary usesThe rhizomes of bogbean are edible and cooked before consumption. However, the roots need to be treated with a view to eliminate its pungent (acrid) taste. The acrid taste may be got rid of by dehydrating the root, pulverizing into a powdered form and subsequently rinsing it under running water. However, it is unfortunate that in addition to the acrid flavour, this process also deprives the roots much of its vitamin and mineral content. The powder prepared from bogbean roots may be used to make 'missen bread' (also known as famine bread). In effect, the root of this aquatic plant is an emergency food, which is used when there is nothing edible available. The leaves of bogbean are extremely bitter and are employed in the form of a substitute in the beer making process. Habitat and cultivationBogbean is indigenous to Europe and North America, where it is found growing from Labrador to Alaska in the north and southwards to West Virginia and extending to Wyoming. In some states of the US, this species has become rare or turned into an endangered species. Bogbean needs to be grown in wet land in a semi-aquatic garden where the soil is swampy or in low water along the sides of a pond. This species has a preference for acidic conditions and thrives well in water that is at the most 30 cm deep. Bogbean loathes shade and the plants of this species may turn out to be extremely invasive as they spread very rapidly through their long crawling thick rhizomes. Bogbean is basically an extremely resilient plant that has the aptitude to endure temperatures as low as -25°C. Interestingly enough, it has been found that this plant is a favourite of the cats. Bogbean is primarily propagated by its seeds. Ensure that the seeds of the plant do not dry out and sow them in a container in a cold frame during the period between the later part of winter and early spring and keep the pot just immersed in water. When the plantlets have grown sufficiently large to be handled, prick them out individually and plant them in separate pots. For their first winter, grow the young plant in trays containing water in the greenhouse. You may transplant the young bogbean plants in their permanent positions outside during the later part of spring or early part of summer after the last anticipated frost has passed. ConstituentsBogbean contains:
Usual dosageFor therapeutic reasons, bogbean is taken in the form of an infusion or tincture. Infusion: To prepare the infusion, add one to two teaspoonfuls of the dehydrated herb to one cup (250 ml) of boiling water and allow it to permeate for about 10 to 15 minutes. For best results, this infusion needs to be drunk thrice every day. Collection and harvestingIdeally, the leaves of bogbean should be gathered between the period May and July. Soon after collection, the leaves are dried out in the sun or under reasonable heat and stored for use when necessary. CombinationsTo treat rheumatic conditions, bogbean is combined with celery seed and black cohosh for better results. CommentsBACK TO TOP |

Date: September 21st, 2006 Edited by: Nathan Glentworth (Owner / Head Editor) Product was submitted by: <--SHOP FOR SAMSUNG SC-DC164 DVD CAMCORDER HERE
So what features does this camcorder have?
You will have to excuse this camcorder with being so forward by first showing off its rear to you. Bold little bugger. ;)
In the above shot you will note the static eyepiece which unfortunately is not adjustable. This is something I would like to have in a camcorder and comes in handy which changing recording angles. Beside the eyepiece is the external microphone connection. Below the eyepiece is the external battery pack slot. Installation is as easy as setting it into the slot and pushing it up and locking it into place.
The battery pack is remarkably small but its tiny stature comes at a price. For one, the 800mAh battery pack in my mind is too small for this camcorder. The minimum should be 1100mAh which was the standard model with previous MiniDV camcorders. There is an optional 1600mAh which can be purchased separately and if you are serious about using this camcorder without being tied to a wall outlet. Check ebay, you can buy the bigger batteries rather cheaply.
With the 2.7" Widescreen LCD screen opened, you can check and reference the camera menu and control buttons.
The control button layout is easy to understand and straight forward. In the bottom you have your usual play/pause, stop, fast forward and reverse buttons when viewing your recorded media that also serve as secondary function keys when recording. You have the back light compensation (BLC) which can be used to brighten up an object which is placed in front of a brighter background such as when you are filming someone in front of a window. Beside that you have the fade in/out button which also serves as a slide show key when viewing and recorded photos on your memory stick if it is installed.
Under these key you will see a small door that can be opened to accept a MMC, SD, Memory Stick or Memory Stick Pro card for photo recording. It is not often you see a camcorder that is flexible enough to use more than one single type of memory. To the left you will see the Color Nite button which in my mind is a useless and weird function on this camcorder. When it is pressed in standard (not widescreen) recording mode, it will brighten up the image and add a small delay and insert a sort of motion delay to give the recording a slow motion feel. In my mind it was kind of pointless and didn't really interest me nor would it interest any normal consumer. What I would have like to have seen is the night vision option which is actually quite useful in low light conditions. I thought that Color Nite represented this wanted feature only to be disappointed. Above the Color Nite button is the camcorder's main speaker which is small, but it clear and actually quite loud. Beside the speaker is the Disc/Card slide switch which enables you to control what media you want to view and record to. If set to card you will only be able to record and view photos. The rest of the buttons are comprised of the manual/ auto focus, menu, LCD display and the playback volume control.

If you're like me, you've skipped sending Christmas cards more than once because you didn't have a decent family photo to use. But these days, there are plenty of photo ideas for Christmas cards that work just as well, if not better than, the family portrait. Many cards now have room for several photos, which takes the pressure off finding one perfect photo and gives you an opportunity to get creative.
- You can pick one great photo of each member of your family, close-up or candid. Some cards even have space to write about each photo, so you can say a little about what each person has been up to.
- You can show a series of photos from the a vacation to highlight some of your family adventures, or from a wedding or graduation where you all were gathered.
- You can use candid shots, some solo, some group shots to show kids activities or fun events you had over the year.
- You can show your new baby, your new baby's fingers and toes, your new baby's sleeping face, your new baby's bottom…you get the idea.
Yes, one perfect family photo is nice if you can get it, but hardly a requirement. Of course, that doesn't mean you should cancel the family portrait session. Just be sure to ask the photographer to also take lots of informal candid shots you can use in your Christmas cards. Because once you see them, you'll want to use them all.
Simply browsing through our holiday collection will give you more photo ideas for Christmas cards.
