Greetings from a fellow LJer who just discovered your paper on Fools through an online search (at this point, I'm not even sure what I was googling!).

I just wanted to thank you. I am in the middle of a writing crisis. I'm presenting a paper on Joss Whedon's Anya as a Fool at a conference in May. I'm up to my elbows in disbelief in the paper at this point.

However, your paper has re-lit the spark of "yes, it's true and I can write the silly thing!" in me tonight.

So, thank you. I'm enjoying reading the paper and am back off and running in my own research on the subject.

Web site - toddler bed sheets

[nicole79.livejournal.com]

I was looking at your sleeping baby website (I found it when looking for a sling pattern to make for a friend who saw one she liked that a woman made for herself). In reading through the patterns, I noticed the one for the toddler sheets for the crib sized bed. I had a suggestion that might make things a bit easier for you with regards to sewing those sheets.

I would suggest starting by finishing two sides of a top sheet (the head side and the side you want open. Then, when sewing the bottom sheet, you can include the two unfinished sides (somewhat gathering the bottom to make it fit in the shorter seam). You can also include a bottom portion of the open side so that it stays tucked in better.

This would reduce the number of seams. It would also make the bed that much quicker to make (easier for when wet spots occur at night).

It is kind of a mix between your sheet design and the sheets often used for waterbeds (the top sheet is sewn to the bottom).

I had considered that idea, actually -- I'll add it as a reader suggestion :)

A Poisonous Move for Kids by CDC

Why will CDC inject millions of minority kids with poison proven to kill brain tissue and cause learning disorders when child-safe vaccines are available?

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

On February 22, CDC announced that it is dramatically expanding America's flu vaccination program to include all children between six months and 5 years and their siblings and caretakers.

[..]

Thimerosal is the mercury-based preservative that has been linked to the epidemic of neurological disorders including speech delays, language delays, hyperactivity, attention-deficit disorder, and autism in American children born after 1989. CDC recommended the removal of thimerosal from children's vaccines by 2001, but most flu vaccinations still contain 25 micrograms of thimerosal in every 0.5ml dose. Under CDC's new recommendations, every American child under five will be injected once each year, with a double dose for first-timers. By his fifth birthday, a child whose parents cannot obtain the child-safe vaccine will have received up to 100 micrograms of thimerosal, which is half ethyl mercury. A recent scientific study indicates that many children will retain the tissue-destroying toxin in their brain and organs for years. CDC has moved aggressively to cut funding and derail follow-up studies that examine the impacts of retained mercury in children's brains.



In its announcement, CDC admitted that the health risks from flu to children do not justify the dramatic expansion of the vaccination program. For the first time in history, CDC rationalized the new protocols by arguing that the inoculations will spare parents and the health care industry significant lost work time now spent taking care of sick children. Although framed as a recommendation, CDC's new protocols function as mandates, since they establish the standards of care for the medical profession. Doctors who fall short of that standard are liable if a patient were to die from flu.

Since CDC is not requiring production of thimerosal-free children's flu vaccines, its expanded recommendations are bound to provoke a scramble among parents, pediatricians and HMOs to get their hands on the limited stashes of thimerosal-free flu vaccines.

Donald Rumsfeld makes $5m killing on bird flu drug

Donald Rumsfeld has made a killing out of bird flu. The US Defence Secretary has made more than $5m (£2.9m) in capital gains from selling shares in the biotechnology firm that discovered and developed Tamiflu, the drug being bought in massive amounts by Governments to treat a possible human pandemic of the disease.
