Was this propaganda for the H1N1 swine flu vaccine your tax dollars well spent?
in ref to:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSejLKIQq uA&feature=SeriesPlayList&p=4053 691FC54DAD49

U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (includes the CDC, FDA, NIH) sponsored TV advertisements have now hit the media trying to make it hip to push the H1N1 swine flu vaccine. This is not about educating the public; it’s about coaxing compliance. These ads were likely pre-planned to be released now when less people would think they need the flu vaccine, and the basic message is in the absence of getting the vaccine you can’t "fight" the illness (complete misinformation). Good citizens brandish band-aids as evidence of fulfilling their civic duty. Propaganda in the form of "together we can all fight the flu" attempts to put pressure on people to think that if you don’t get the vaccine you are somehow responsible for someone else getting the flu (a pathetic notion because you might as well blame me for your weakened immune system). Do you find this propaganda justifiable? Or, is it an insult? You think it will actually convince anyone to get the vaccine?


No, just as my tax dollars are ill spent for the TARP program, the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, etc.. Nearly everything the Government spends money on is a waste.

wisdomforfools | Dec 10, 2009


it appears so far the efforts to stifle the spread of H1N1 have been extremely successful…..so yes.
cheesus | Dec 10, 2009


why are you opposed to the clearing of an epidemic. these advertisements are needs so more americas get the vaccine and the epidemic can be controlled more efficiently. its not about fighting the illness, for instance, its about controlling its spread through vaccinations.

Do meanings of Names,really matter?
I asked yesterday about unique and different names,because i’m writing a sort story and need names for the people. Someone had suggested a really good site that i’m looking at write now,they say the meaning of the names. 2 names i had used as an example yesterday were,Brookelle and Megara. Megara means ”To Grudge” And then Brookelle doesn’t have a meaning,that i have seen. So does it matter about the meanings? Some of the prettiest names have the worst meanings. Like i found out the name Mary means ”Sea of Bitterness”

-So like,do you think meanings for names really matter? Not just for a story,but like for anyone..?
And who decides what meanings are for names and everything?
Just curious.
Thanks!
Right now* Not Write now*

-lol sorry typo


An ugly name with a pretty/amazing meaning is still an ugly name. I would NEVER choose a name based on meaning alone.

I would however, if I was stuck between a few amazing names, compare meanings to help make my decision.

Too much importance is often put on meaning and not enough is put on what the actual name sounds like.

i dont think they matter to be honest because at the end of the day its a meaning that your baby isnt going to live up to. otherwise every mary will be bitter and nasty, which they’re not. Meanings of names are completely irrelevant…its the people that carry them that matter =)
Janet | Jan 31, 2010


Meanings can be personal or so called offical meanings but go to three or different sites an books and you ll get different meanings. All that matters is when your child asks why did you name me (….)you have a full answer, that your happy with.
Char ) | Jan 31, 2010


No, my friend’s name is Casimir James, his name means "destroyer of peace" in Polish and he’s a loving humble peaceful man
Mr. Ernest Lee Evans | Jan 31, 2010


Mary is one of my favourite names, along with Mia which has the same meaning, and the meaning doesn’t bother me.
However, if I’m just considering adding a name to my list and I don’t quite love it yet, the meaning can put me off. An example of this is Cecelia; I was considering it, then I found out that it means ‘blind’. So, I picked the similar Celia which means ‘Heaven’

Meanings of names don’t really matter. It’s not like someone is going to come up to you and say, "Hey, what does you name mean?" ,and the same thing with a story. Some people just like to give their kids names with cool or unique meanings, but just about everybody will not care what names mean, it’s just a meaning nothing more. :) Camryn | Jan 31, 2010


I don’t really think so. Most experts seem to agree that the name "Brenden" means "smelly hair" (though some websites gloss over this and give the nicer –but made up–meaning "prince") but this hasn’t really affected it’s popularity.
Rebecca means "to bind" (with both positive and negative associations) and people haven’t shied away from it either.
I think that what matters more is the meaning that people themselves assign to names. Adolph, for example, means "noble wolf", but no one cares because it makes us think of Hitler.
For Americans, when we hear Benedict, we think "traitor", though the name itself means "blessed" or "well-spoken".

A Question to all Cincinnatians who've been to Spring Grove Cemetery?
I’ve been wondering about this for a while. This was a few years ago, and I’ve never really asked anyone about it for fear they’d think I’m a bit crazy.
It was early summer and I was learning to drive back in the cemetery because it’s so large and there are lots of narrow roads and there aren’t likely to be many cars back there at all, making it an ideal place to learn. I was with my dad and he dozed off in the car, so I decided to pull over for a bit while he napped since I’d been driving for over an hour and wanted to stretch my legs. We were at the Dexter memorial which is one of my favorite spots in the summer. The trees are beautiful, the lake is peaceful, and the memorial itself is lovely. But then I heard music. I though I left the radio on, so I went back to the car but I hadn’t. People often do yoga there on nice days so I thought someone must be by the lake near the memorial. But no one was there. I walked around the whole memorial looking for anyone, but no one was there. I even thought someone might be being buried near by and perhaps there was music for that, but nothing. The further I got from the memorial, the fainter the music became and the closer I got, the louder it was. I could only assume it was coming from inside the memorial, but as always, it was locked and chained and there were the usual webs accumulating behind the gate as though no one had been there for quite some time. The music was beautiful, almost like a music box in that it had the light tinkling quality, but it was different somehow. Almost like the high keys of a piano. Had it not been for the location, I wouldn’t have said it had a haunting quality to it at all.
I don’t believe in ghosts and this is the only thing even near a "paranormal" experience I’ve ever had, but I was curious as to whether anyone has ever experienced something similar near the Dexter memorial?

In a Dark Place
In a Dark Place (2006)

IMDB rating: 4.40

Plot: She thought she was their Guardian Angel, but was she really their Nanny from Hell? A chilling modern ghost story, inspired by a classic of the genre, In A Dark Place is the suspenseful, erotic story of a young woman fighting to redeem the souls of two children seduced by dark influences beyond the grave. Anna Veigh, a recently qualified art therapist and teacher, is finding work at her inner city special school a tougher psychological challenge than she can cope with. The offer of a new post minding two wealthy young orphans whilst their wealthy uncle is away on business seems a perfect escape for her. It is a welcome escape. Her new workplace is Bly House, a remote country estate with beautiful grounds and a small resident staff. Miles and Flora, the children, seem sweet and charming, if a little strange, and Anna thinks that she has really “landed on her feet” after the rigors of her previous job. The only fly in the ointment is the frosty estate manager, Miss Grose, who seems remote and unfriendly to the new arrival. Very soon, moreover, Anna makes disquieting discoveries. Miles, the boy, has been expelled from his school, for a sin so dreadful the headmaster will not even discuss it. Anna then learns that her predecessor in the job, one Miss Jessel, died in suspicious circumstances. To add to her unease, she begins to catch glimpses of unknown sinister figures lurking in the grounds, but nobody else admits to seeing them. Anna confronts the Miss Grose with her suspicions about these intruders, but is surprised by the force of Miss Grose’s reaction. The figures Anna describes are unmistakably those of two ex-employees at the house. The only problem is that these employees are dead. Anna senses that the ghostly manifestations are malevolent in their intent. Not only is the psychological welfare of the children in very real jeopardy, but their lives and their souls are also at risk. But Anna is forced to confront dark secrets buried deep in her own psyche as she fights to cleanse the children’s souls of darkness, with terrifying consequences for all concerned.

crow minister 2: The tiger will never eat grass even when it was hunger..even thousands of rats will never stand before a snake. we should go immediately to fight with them…

crow minister 3: if we begin a work we should see the pros and cons. what disturbance we face, what will be the profit etc.,we should see. owl group is a very terrorist group, more strong than us..so, at present we quit this place for our safety and after winning the owls we will come back..

chief minister: The ministers words, their speech over this issue are good. This is more or less humans sanadana dharma type. we can not go for war. no use in peace accord. it is good quitting the place, but we should wait a long years, even it is impossible to come back this place.. so, do what i say. you paste some blood of animal on me and throw at some distance. you all go to the nearby temple and live for some time. i will join the owl group scolding you all as traitors and i will make an end to them by knowing all their secrets..

crow king: we thank the chief minister. you all crows do what our c.m. said and go to the temple..
As usual the owls came to the crow place and they did not see any crow and saw one crow with blood stain on the ground..

owl group: you crow..we will kill you now..

crow: please don’t kill me. i am already suffering..i will be helpful to you…
so, the owls took the crow to their owl leader..

owl leader: who are you ? in what way you will help us ?

crow: oh ! respectful leader, i am the chief minister of crows. The crows wanted to fight with you, and i as chief minister told them to go with peace, and also i told your strength etc., and on hearing my words, the crow king and all crows scolded me as a traitor and made injury to me..

owl leader: where are that crows now ?

crow: i don’t know. i will give due ideas to kill the crows after my recovery. i am tired. please permit me to take rest.

owl leader: i like you very much. This is my place. This is the entrance. Here we all stay and live, so you can also stay here..

crow: no..respectful leader..i should not stay equal to owls. i may be permitted to stay outside the rock..(and thus came out)

The crow daily brought small sticks, fire woods near the cave. And also told owl leader searching of crows etc., The owl leader put full confidence on the crow.
just after 2 months the beginning of the summer..one day at day time.. it went to the crow group and asked all the crows to bring one small fire wood each to put at the entrance of the cave. All the crows brought the sticks, fire woods and put it promptly as told by the crow chief minister.
The owls not able to see what is happening at the entrance since they will not able to see in the day time. Then all the fire wood, sticks got fire at the entrance and the smoke, fire heat surrounded inside the cave and all the owls dead.

crow king: i appreciate the chief minister. He is an example how a minister should act. so, i request all the crows to go again to your place and live happily.

How do i fix a chair leg that my dog has chewed the finish off of?
Help! My three month old bulldog puppy has chewed one of the legs to my dining room chairs and the finish is completely gone. How do i fix it without having to get another chair?


You might get better answers to this in the House and Gardeen, Maintenance and Repair section. I guess you could sand it and then try and match the finish the best you can.

Bonzie12 | Jul 22, 2008


Have it chew the other legs so all the legs look alike.

Or you can do it yourself!
wanosd | Jul 22, 2008


strip, sand, varnish. simple.
thom k | Jul 22, 2008


Please use common sense and buy a new chair or get rid of the dog.
DANIEL C | Jul 22, 2008


I can’t tell you how to fix the chair, but I can tell you about a spray you can spray on stuff to keep the dog from chewing. It is called Boundary. You spray it on whatever you don’t want the puppy to chew on. The only problem is you have to do it every day. It works!
Brandy C | Jul 22, 2008


Sand the whole thing down and refinish it. Just buy like a shellac or something clear to keep the natural color of the wood. It will take time but very little money.

Buy your dog some rawhide bones. Dingo’s for a treat.
maggie the third. | Jul 22, 2008


sand it down,stain it to match, and add lacquer for shine.

there is a bump beneath my gums in my mouth that sometimes hurts and oozes a foul tasting fluid. what is it?
it is just above my last molar on top. i’ve seen a doctor twice and they did not even seem to see or understand what I was showing them. I also had my dentist look at it and he said it was bone reacting to me grinding my teeth. It has gotten more sore lately, also has been oozing more lately. it is making me worried.


I do not know what kind of dentist you went to but if you have a bump above your tooth on your gum tissue that is oozing foul tasting fluid, that my friend is an abscess. The fluid is puss and you better get it properly checked out as soon as you can.

Bless the Child (2000)

IMDB rating: 4.80

Plot: Omens and concepts of good vs. evil have no place in Maggie O’Connor’s well-ordered, practical universe. Her life revolves around her job as a nurse at a busy New York hospital, until one rainy night, her sister Jenna abandons her newborn, autistic daughter at her home. Maggie takes the baby in, and she becomes the daughter she never had. Six years later Jenna suddenly re-appears with a mysterious new husband, Eric, and abducts Cody. Despite the fact that Maggie has no legal rights to Cody, FBI agent John Travis (Jimmy Smits), an expert in ritual homicide and occult-related crime, takes up her cause when he realizes that Cody shares the same birth date as several other recently missing children. The little girl, it soon becomes clear, is more than simply “special.” She manifests extraordinary powers that the forces of evil have waited centuries to control, and her abduction sparks a clash between the soldiers of good and evil that can only be resolved, in the end, by the strength of one small child and the love she inspires in those she touches.

IMDB rating: 6.00

Plot: Two people Matt and Kate wake up in a closed down prison. They have no idea how they got there, or why they are there. In the prison they encounter several terrors as they look for an exit. These terrors include a wolf beast that terrorizes Kate, a hideous monster that hunts them both, a “zombie” surgeon who operates on people whilst you’re still alive, the executioner who gives Kate a ride in his electric chair and finally executes her with the guillotine. But Kate just wakes up again in the prison and the nightmare continues. Also in the prison Matt and Kate encounter a strange number that pops up a regular basis, first the number is being printed over and over again on a printer gone crazy, next the number appears painted on a wall in blood. Kate finds a room containing a vacuum tube machine for sending messages between rooms, when she pushes the operation button it comes alive and a cylinder appears. Inside the cylinder are the pictures of five people, Kate has no idea who these five people are. Later in the movie Matt and Kate explore the basement in the search for an exit and discover five pairs of shoes all neatly arranged on a shelf. As Matt and Kate endure these horrors, the beautiful fashion model Raquel Lake is being interrogated by the police about a series of homicides. Raquel is arrogant and diabolical, she also has a very high IQ and proves more than a match for the professional police interrogator. Strangely many of the subjects in the police interview correlate with the events transpiring in the prison. For instance, Raquel is shown a series of pictures of five dead people, and when Raquel is informed by the detective that they are “looking for a cold blooded predator.” Raquel’s response is….”like the wolf?” What is the connection between the two people trapped in the prison and the interrogation of Raquel Lake?
