Two reports this week showed the flu vaccine may not be effective in preventing health problems in children. One study revealed that flu shots in the past two seasons did not reduce doctor visits or the risk of hospitalization for flu in children age 5 and younger. Another showed that MRSA, or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (a sometimes fatal drug-resistant bacteria that can accompany

I have to wonder if the people working in the Office of the Attorney General for the State of New York even read the complaints they receive.

I don't know about you, but I can't remember half of what I learned in history class.

Lenin coined the phrase “useful idiots” to describe those Westerners whose misplaced idealism led them to be Soviet sympathizers.

But at least their [...]

There have been some very strange selections so far in the Euros, for me Raymond Domenech's utterly inept management of the French side stands out head and shoulders above anyone else. This is despite Aragones playing Xavi ahead of the marvellous Fabregas, but here my opinion is probably a bit more contentious. Firstly how on earth Domenech can leave both Clichy and Sagna out of his squad is

Meanwhile, our community is thriving with station managers who actively pounce on the new releases and will help promote your songs for you.

Source: ionizers.orgThe water that an ionizing water purifier outputs is 'split' into two forms: 'alkaline' and 'acid'. The alkalinity and the acidity are more a byproduct of an important change that occurs in these two forms of water. In the 'alkaline' case, it is alkaline because it is loaded with enormous amounts of negatively charged hydroxyl ions. In the acid water case it is highly oxidative water, and therefore, acidic. In both cases, however, because there are no 'buffer' chemicals such as calcium in the water, they do not behave like lye or, respectively, hydrochloric acid. They will readily dilute on entry to the gastric system. However, in the case of the acid water, there are other benefits we need to be aware of. The very best astringent water available?

When you're sick you may feel that certain body parts are more trouble than they're worth. And in some cases, you'd be right. While the human body has evolved and adapted significantly since the caveman days, a few biological traces of our prehistoric ancestors still remain with us in the form of freeloading body parts we lug around with us, but have no use for.

Pull open the two more noticeable eyelids and take a look -- it's located right in the corner by the tear duct.

A frustrating by-product of modern life is the constant accumulation of useless knowledge. As soon as we really learn the ropes of something, it's over: we leave, we move on, we encounter something new.

Dangerous, racist Obama + delusional, tedious Hillary = 1 vote for McCain.Regarding Obama's speech yesterday, I don't believe a word of it. First of all, how can anyone trust someone who would abandon his religion to further himself in politics. He should have left that church 19.11 years ago. Just back in January he had put out that:"I've been to the same church _ the same Christian church _ for almost 20 years," Obama said, stressing the word Christian and drawing cheers from the faithful in reply.Obama will be a president "guided by his Christian faith" and includes a quote from him saying, "I believe in the power of prayer."Yeah, guided by his hatred of rich, white people . Power of prayer? Don't be so friggin hypocritical!I take great offense to this part of his speech in particular

I’m sad to say that the sound recorder in MS Vista really sucks! A lot of useful features are gone after switching from XP to Vista. I really don’t understand why they want to do that. Did they do it in purpose? Some said it is for copy protection? Record it illegally? It doesn’t make sense because Windows Media Player has the recording capability.From this:To this:Some of the cool features like increasing and decreasing the volume of recordings, adding echo, reversing, editing the file and etc have no longer there in MS Vista. The worst part is you CANNOT playback what you have recorded. You must save it and play it with Windows Media Player. What the heck?With this new sound recorder, you can basically do 2 things only – record from microphone or line-in and save the file. That

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — On a recent Saturday afternoon, John Toppel, a retired Hewlett-Packard sales manager, did not spend his leisure time golfing or mowing the lawn. He spent it at a local electronics store extolling the virtues of H.P. laptop computers to customers.He was not paid by the store or by Hewlett-Packard, for that matter. Mr. Toppel, 62, left the technology company four years ago, but he remains a volunteer cheerleader for H.P., one of thousands of its retirees whom the company is trying to galvanize into an auxiliary army of senior marketers, good-will ambassadors and volunteer sales people. None of them get paid; they do it, they say, because of their affection for the company.“I feel like I have two marriages: a wonderful marriage at home for 36 years and a wonderful ma

Or at least it seems to me like they have to start up one of these ridiculous German army “issues” every week around here these days. As if German soldiers didn’t have enough to worry about already; weight problems from not doing any combat, psychological problems from not doing any combat. Now these soldiers are going to have to worry about being awarded a medal for bravery while not doing any combat, too. That’s right. Someone has seriously proposed the reintroduction of the Iron Cross 2.0 as a military decoration for “outstanding bravery” during the course of, uh, something, but it won’t be war. This outrageous proposal has gotten everybody all hot and bothered, of course, but not for the reason you might think. Everyone here is outraged because of that German mil

Daylight saving not saving anythingDaylight saving appeared originally in ancient times, but the first recorded proposal for the use of this convention came from Benjamin Franklin, during a visit in France, when he proposed that Parisians could make a more economic use of candles if they were to wake up earlier in the morning. In 1905, William Willett invented daylight saving time, or DST, also known in the United Kingdom as the summer time, and two years later he proposed it for implementation.Daylight saving time basically means that during the summer period, clocks must be set one hour in advance, so that the human species makes better use of the light received from the Sun. Aside the obvious advantages which descend from the use of such a time scheme, there is also the myth of electric

This is a personal experience which I have faced before three months. So after reading this post you will know my opinion regarding paid to promote sites.Many people may be thinking that Paid to Promote is also an acceptable way for getting traffic for sites or blogs. But until people try this type of advertising, they don't know that it is useless to promote sites with the help of this type of advertising.I am one of the person who tried this type of advertising and came to a conclusion that, paid to promote is not good for sites who are selling products or services. Also promoting our blog's is useless through this type of advertising. As you know that I am a kind of experimenting guy, I wanted to use donkeymails.com . As rates are cheaper, I wanted to promote my blog with the help of th

My experience on Monster.com, and other internet based resume systems is that employers are looking for people with no brains. They want people that will do anything, and question nothing. They want drones. They want slaves. For $25,000 a year for an entry level position, getting someone coffee, or doing some rudimentary tasks. Speaking for all Engineering graduates of the past several years, we want to show employers how smart we are. We want to be professionals, and this is the very reason we became engineers. We do not want to be a lackys, we want to express our business desires, and concepts in an effort to better ourselves and achieve economic profit. Shouldn’t a company want its employees to express their ideas? Having more perspectives should promote better projects, and avoid errors; but when an entry level employee has a professional idea they are shot down being rejected prior or subsequent to the interview process. These are the jobs that are most available to recent B

Well it's Sunday morning and we will have a new government. I was completely wrong when I predicted the Libs to win.

The inventor of the flu vaccine has sensationally stated that he has never been impressed by its efficacy. Natural Health Practitioners have been saying for years that there is no evidence that a flu shot provides protection nor saves lives.In fact researchers have shown that the immune system is suppressed following any vaccination. The chemicals and virus present in the vaccines significantly reduce the function of the immune cells for months following the shots.Dr Laver, the Australian doctor who developed the flu vaccine over 40 years ago, warns that the UK could have a severe epidemic this winter following an extremely bad flu season in Australia this year.Statistics show that 12,000 in the UK die each year from flu but many more lives could be at risk this year.

It's fairly lengthy and will require at least two coffee breaks.When Sphinn first opened to the public back in July it seemed like one of the best online communities for search engine marketers, optimizers, and anyone else who deals with online branding or internet optimization; but quickly, the negative side of Sphinn started to show.Only popular, prominent members of the internet marketing community where being displayed on the front page of the website. It seemed as though the only "usef

Right now I feel like staying home. I can't be asked to go all the way to Oxford street for this damn game. I've been trying to phone near enough every GAME store in London for the past half an hour and not one of them picked up the phone. I know shops can be busy places, so I hung on and let the phone ring for a good while. Still nothing. I finally got through to one store and asked how much they'd be retailing Super Mario Galaxy for. The answer I got? "Errrr...I don't know". The twit tried to save himself when I went "Oh-kay...riiight..." on the verge of laughing at how bad his answer was with "The price might change in the morning. So we won't know until then". With customer service as shitty as this it's no wonder video game stores get a bad rep. Thankfully another GAME store employee was more helpful and gave a better answer that was helpful. He told me that the once again, the price was unconfirmed and that the game could retail at anything between £34.99 and £44.99. Now

Consumer Affairs has a report on a debt collector hit with fines for, of course, abusing consumers and lying. The amount of the fine? 1.3 million.Maybe I'm just a pessimist, but I don't see how this solves anything.By abusing consumers, making illegal threats, etc, this company likely raked in millions in extra profits. They collect 1.25 million accounts per year. A 1.3 million fine from the FTC is probably listed on their financial report as overhead, along with electricity. Is the FTC making any difference? Of course not...we know this because they allowed this fraudulent company to stay in business.Under the proposed settlement, LTD will pay a $1.375 million civil penalty. In addition, LTD and its owners, Timothy Feldman and Leonard Pruzansky, and its top managers, John Brewster and Derrek Davis, are permanently prohibited from misrepresenting to consumers that nonpayment of a debt will result in garnishment of wages, seizure or attachment of property, or lawsuits.They also are pe

"Best firewall – no firewall" has been a common joke in the IT world for some time. However, it seems that Apple has taken it for serious, and their latest released OS goes to prove it.As Heise Security's report points out, the firewall included in the Leopard OS managed to fail every security test performed by the firm. - Now that's a bummerJurgen Schmidt writes:“The most important task for any firewall is to keep out uninvited guests. In particular, this means sealing off local services to prevent access from potentially hostile networks, such as the Internet or wireless networks.But a quick look at the firewall configuration in the Mac OS X Leopard shows that it is unable to do this. By default it is set to "Allow all incoming connections," i.e. it is deactivated. Worse still, a user who, for security purposes, has previously activated the firewall on his or her Mac will find that, after upgrading to Leopard, the system restarts with the firewall deactivated.”Also, it seems

Does anyone see the point of these so called (this made me laugh a little) “latest trend” stiletto handbags. No really? I mean, seriously, where does this idea come from? Was it a mind driven by childhood pirate tales with treasures hidden in filthy boots?(I'm not sure about that) If that be the case, what's up with the stiletto heel? Who could have thought that it would be fun to wear your shoe as a handbag or as a shoulder bag, whichever is more obvious? Because this is the purpose, right? To be stopped on the street and be asked "Hey, miss! Where's the other boot?" But who would wear such drollery? I can't imagine.
