you know, it occurs to me this isn't something rob has to worry about even if he was 1 in 5.5 million.... he'd have to get a girl first.
-
look, if he was umm..."solid" enough for girth hitching, or ummm..had sufficient ummm...slack for tying off, i might care how he feels about this conversation. basically i'm just bitter that pink married kevbone instead of me.
-
you're preferences weren't amongst my thoughts or concerns rob

baloney! i've got several to clip. just b/c they aren't attached doesn't mean they couldn't be mine
-
too many guys don't know how to use the one they've got. throw in an extra and that just can't be good
-
i just did not need to see that...my neck hurts
-
yes i'm sure diet is going to solve my whooping cough problem

oh goody, i hope some great geniuses like that will twitter about me when i keel over

doug i don't know who you are nor do i really care but you seem rather antognistic. my thoughts on MJ have to do with his prior erratic behaviour with his own children (think balcony incident). Further, think about the burden of being raised by a man with such a reputation and even his fame. Perhaps it will be better to for them to be raised with the ongoing suspicion and jokes about their father? i didn't wish the man dead but i'm not sure it doesn't have some perks. i know my death will.

didn't have to watch long... am i the only one that thinks this is the best possible thing for his kids?

kimmo will be keeping her child in a bubble so that it never faces even the remotest possibility of physical harm. psychological...well living in a bubble will do that to you.
-
pudgey or not...he's still way hawter than you, dru. (Note: bitterness from not getting a call from dru while i was in canuckleville)
-
let me, know i can handle that name change for you
-
alas...you have still avoided answering about your own reluctance to accept the scientific method. i'm bored now. y ou win
-
why, are you a scientist? you are the one who brought it up... so a) why does it matter if he's a scientist. don't want to debate someone who might be educated on the subject? b)why not answer the question?
-
well PP was the many of my dreams...not interested in small talk or my prana top, just wanted me to go strange places and swap belays.... and then he quit calling. why can't there be more men out there like that?

adjuvant MF59: APPROVAL OF THE FIRST NON-ALUM ADJUVANT FOR A VACCINE. M Hora1 , J Fang2 , S Tuck3 , V Levi4 1Chiron Corporation, Emeryville, CA, 2Chiron Corporation, Emeryville, CA, 3Chiron Corporation, Emeryville, CA, 4Chiron Corporation, Emeryville, CA, Enhancement of immune response of vaccine antigens by combining them with an adjuvant has been an active area of research for the vaccinologist for many decades. Alum is the only adjuvant which is present in approximately one dozen out of the nearly fifty vaccines currently approved for the US market. The modern, well-defined antigens based on subunit and envelope proteins are safer than the older whole cell or bacterial vaccines but may generate a weak or incomplete immune response. So, there is an even greater need for adjuvants for use with the newer antigens for eliciting an optimum immune response. Adjuvants based on particulate or cellular materials have been evaluated for many decades. However, none of them have resulted in successful development of a product thus far. To be commercially viable, an adjuvant must have the appropriate pharmaceutical properties (consistent product profile, acceptable shelf life and reproducible manufacturing process) in addition to the desired immunological attributes. We have developed an emulsion adjuvant using squalene, which is a metabolizable oil, having a well defined, submicron particle size distribution and predictable characteristics. This adjuvant, identified as MF59 (or MF59C.1), has been tested extensively in clinical studies with many antigens and can be produced at a commercial scale. Development of an emulsion with a particle size similar to the pore size of the membrane, through which it must be filtered for obtaining a sterile product, posed many challenges to the process scientist. In addition, the formulator and analyst had to stabilize MF59 against degradation of key components to ensure that the adjuvant had a commercially meaningful shelf life. An MF59-adjuvanted influenza vaccine (FluAdÔ) has been fully developed as a commercial product and is on the market in Italy since 1997. Development of a commercial formulation and manufacturing process for MF59 will be discussed in the presentation. In conclusion, MF59 is a well-characterized, safe and powerful adjuvant that can be produced at a commercial scale in a consistent and reproducible manner for administration with traditional and recombinant antigens.

not to quibble she also calls out hep a

does it matter if he's a scientist and i apologize, i shouldn't have used the word many but there asome vaccines w/o alum adjuvants. further, one of the benefits of the multivalent vaccines is the reduction in overall alum content for the vaccination process. now why on earth would you not vaccinate a child for a hepatitis? they are some of the biggest hand to mouth transmitters of all sorts of things. kids are not clean.

well bosterson, yes we can get to discussing those problems but kimmo is going to have to chime in. i can discuss the problems in short v. long whips but beyond that i'm done for the day. have a nice evening.

alright...before i go. let me also add, that many vaccines no longer use aluminum adjuvants. further the discontinuation of mecury as a preservative (thimerosal) has made delivery of basic vaccines to developing countries far less cost effective when the preserved version of the vaccine is unavailable or no longer manufactured. the risk of mecury toxicity from the amount of mecury in these vaccines is nearly nothing. thanks...at least someone appreciates it when i'm feeling fiesty. bosterson...take it easy cupcake. yeah i do something that involves whips and leather not much rubber though. but frankly, regardless of how intersting that might sound a) it probably isn't to you and b) you won't ever know.
