New feature in LGF Search - you can now choose to search either comments for articles or comments for Pages.
I finally got around to fixing the bug that stopped comments in Pages from appearing, and ended up separating the two types of comments into two options, to make it easier to distinguish them.
The feature used to work before I redesigned LGF Pages, but it was a little confusing because the comments for Pages would appear mixed in with comments for articles. This simplifies things.

This week, there is an example in Virginia of the ways in which a concentrated number of deliberately unvaccinated children can effect (or infect, depending on your perspective) the health of an entire region: Earlier today, The Roanoke Times reported that the Blue Mountain School, an “alternative” private school in Floyd County, had to shut down for a full week after twenty-three of its forty-five students came down with pertussis. According to the Times, every single one of those children was unvaccinated. The school’s administrator, Shelly Emmett, was quoted as saying, “Many of the families and staff at our school understand that some people choose not to vaccinate their children. We’re not requiring that they do.”

re: #53 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds
Give me that ol’ time stupidity… *rolls eyes*
It’s not all or even mostly wingnuts on this one. In California, anti-vaxers are mostly well-off lefties. As the article makes clear, this isn’t just a ‘wingnut problem’:
I fear we’re going to be reading similar stories in the months and years to come. After a 2008 measles outbreak in California — which, incidentally, was started after a non-vaccinated patient of self-proclaimed vaccine and autism expert “Dr. Bob” Sears came back from a European vacation with the virus — a Los Angeles Times investigation identified two hundred Southern California schools where outbreaks are more likely “in large part because of parents choosing not to immunize. … Most are schools in affluent areas.” I wrote about the ’08 outbreak in my book; when I went back and re-read that section this morning, I was struck by the parallels to the current situation in Virginia:
One of those schools is the Ocean Charter School in Del Rey, California, where an entire century’s worth of medical advances have effectively been thrown out the window: Since the 2007-2008 school year, between forty and sixty percent of incoming kindergarteners have been exempted from vaccines. Administrators told the Times those figures were no surprise, because the school’s “nontraditional curriculum” attracted “well-educated parents who tend to be skeptical of mainstream beliefs.” “They question traditional knowledge,” the school’s assistant director said, “and feel empowered to make their own decisions for their families, not deferring to traditional wisdom.”
Indeed: Traditional wisdom holds that vaccine-preventable diseases like whooping cough, measles, and Hib are dangerous and potentially deadly. This week, the students at the Blue Mountain School get to learn those lessons in basic virology first-hand.

“You know another really good business? Teeny tiny baby coffins. You can get them in frog green, fire engine red. Really! The antibodies in yummy Mummy only protect the kid for six months, which is why these companies think they can gouge you. They think that you’ll spend whatever they ask to keep your kid alive. Wanna change things? Prove ‘em wrong. Few hundred parents like you decide they’d rather let their kid die than cough up 40 bucks for a vaccination, believe me, prices will drop really fast!” House then plays with the baby some more.

re: #122 sattv4u2
My usual “week” is Tuesday thru Friday, 12 hours each day
We have one guy out on vacation, so this past week I did my “usual” hours, had yesterday off, then i’ll have Monday and Tuesday off before being back for 12 hours each Wed, Thurs and Fri
I occasionally work 12/14 hours days, but usually by my choice. When I first started this business I would leave the city at 8:00am and return about 10:00pm 4 days a week, but now I’m rarely gone for more than 9 hours.

Gadhafi graffiti artist killed
Interesting how CNN fails to mention the artist alsways seems to portray Q’Daffy as a Jew (or an agent of the Jews). CNN doesn’t mention it and even tries to frame shots to block out the Star of David.

So did I, but fortunately I made a couple of good moves since, coupled with over 12 years of (as stated above) 50-60+ hour work weeks
