The Lillipad has been designed and constructed for functionality, strength, stability, durability and aesthetic appeal. The Lillipad is made in small batches in New Zealand. We use the best quality 12 mm and 17 mm thick plywood sourced from New Zealand’s sustainably grown Radiata Pine timber plantations. We coat the Lillipads with a deep penetrating wood oil which is waterproof, mildew resistant and will last many years. The footpads and step have a naturally slip resistant surface when dry. http://www.lillipad.co.nz/lillipad/Lillipad.html

"Never worked a day in her life"

James Taranto correctly excoriates the feminist philosophy that served as the foundation for Hilary Rosen's epically stupid attack on Ann Romney : In truth, anti-momism was the very heart of "The Feminine Mystique." Friedan's argument was that motherhood and homemaking were soul-deadening occupations and that pursuing a professional career was the way for a woman to "become complete." She agreed with the midcentury misogynists that a stay-at-home mother was, in Friedan's words, "castrative to her husband and sons." But she emphasized that women were "fellow victims." The book might as well have been titled "Why Can't a Woman Be More Like a Man?" http://voxday.blogspot.com/2012/04/never-worked-day-in-her-life.html
http://www.cornucopia.org/2010/09/organic-egg-report-and-scorecard/ September 22nd, 2010 The Cornucopia Institute’s report, Scrambled Eggs: Separating Factory Farm Egg Production from Authentic Organic Agriculture, will empower consumers and wholesale buyers who want to invest their food dollars to protect hard-working family farmers that are in danger of being forced off the land by a landslide of eggs from factory farms. The accompanying organic egg scorecard rates companies that market name-brand and private-label organic “shell” eggs based on 22 criteria that are important to organic consumers. The scorecard showcases ethical family farms, and their brands, and exposes factory farm producers and brands in grocery store coolers that threaten to take over organic livestock agriculture. Some of the factory farm operators literally raise millions of birds (both conventional and organic) with as many as 85,000 “organic” hens in single buildings.

Seriously folks, this sort of distortion cannot exist in anything approaching a free market. The IFHP just released the data for 2012. And yes, once again, the numbers are shocking. This is the fundamental fact of American health care: We pay much, much more than other countries do for the exact same things. For a detailed explanation of why, see this article. But this post isn’t about the why. http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?blog=Market-Ticker&page=1&cat=Health%20Reform

Your Government Is Killing You (Really) in

I mean it. We physicians with all our training, knowledge and authority often acquire a rather large ego that tends to make it difficult to admit we are wrong. So, here it is. http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=203155

Eliminate and reverse BPA toxicity

http://www.naturalnews.com/033993_BPA_protection.html (NaturalNews) There have been several obscure studies performed and written up that have discovered natural nutrients that fight BPA toxicity. Bisphenol-A (BPA) has become epidemic in our plastic reliant society. It not only affects our current population, but there is also evidence that it is passed on to newborns as well. In the USA, Big Brother refuses to fix this.
