for about a year and a half. I have something against mp3 players, so I've never opened it. Well, since I don't really want to haul a boombox with me to the hospital, I figured this cute little thang might do the job for me quite well.
Given the fact that I don't know how to get music from the internets, I need help. Where do I go to download really uncool, old music?
You know what I really prefer? LPs. NOTHING sounds like a record. The random scratches? The poor, grainy quality? I love it. The Stray Cats was the first record I ever got and oh how happy that rockabilly made me.
I fear that this means that I am becoming old; that it means that I'm not part of the young generation anymore. I mean, who the hell is Tokio Hotel and why does MySpace think I want to download their mp3? I'm going to be like that last idiot wearing their Members Only jacket clinging to their 8 tracks.
I asked my doctor how he felt about it and he said he's getting it for his whole family, which includes a 3 year old with respiratory issues.
Plus this:
Q.: I see very little information available to the public about how the vaccines compare as the manufacturing process for each. Are they created using the exact same technique? If so, does that mean that the safety/risk profile is the same for each?
A.: A flu shot is a flu shot is a flu shot, according to the Food and Drug Administration, which licenses companies to make vaccines. "All flu vaccine manufacturers use essentially the same technique to produce the seasonal and H1N1 vaccines. They each produce a slightly different version of the vaccine, but all versions adhere to the FDA's stringent standards for safety and effectiveness," said Pat El-Hinnawy, a spokeswoman for the FDA.
Q.: I've heard 56 children have died since April from H1N1. Could you give me more detail about this figure? I would like to know of those 56 children, how many had underlying health care problems? How many of them sought medical attention? And finally, what is the age range or average age of the 56 children?
A.: According to the CDC, of these 56 children, 31 had a pre-existing medical condition such as spina bifida or cerebral palsy before they became infected with H1N1, 17 did not, and health authorities don't have data on the eight other children. Among the children for whom the CDC has information, 35 died in a hospital's intensive care unit, four died in the emergency room, three died on an inpatient ward in the hospital, and five died outside the hospital, such as at home or on the way to the hospital. The average age of the children who died is 10 years old. A September 4 CDC report has more details on the pediatric deaths.
