I agree. Ivory Soap is what most of us in the scientific community use. It's fairly inexpensive, can be bought in bulk at Costco, Fred Meyer, and (uck) WalMart, and it works.
Dove tends to clog up drains, though. The cream mixes with hairs sometimes.
Water itself cleans hard surfaces. Just get a dish rag, soak it in water (or normal soap and water) and place it on the baked in hard surface for about 5-10 minutes.
This has more to do with your lack of training in how to wash your hands than in the soap you are using.
Ever seen Grey's Anatomy or any of the TV shows about doctors? Notice how they wash their hands? Do that.
Problem solved. Now get rid of that disease-spreading anti-bacterial soap and go buy bars of Ivory Soap - it works better.
Many people tend to scrub longer with anti-bacterial soaps than they do with standard soaps, as they are thinking about the anti-bacterial nature, not because it's better.
again, read my original post, and then consider that I recommended you read the original scientific papers on which these articles are based.
They say it in fairly clear terms.
Just because you don't want to hear what I say, doesn't mean it's not correct. Endanger everyone else in your pursuit of obsessive cleanliness if you must, but don't lie to yourself that it's doing you that much good.
Want to reduce infections and cut colds in half? Simple solution: wash your hands thoroughly with PLAIN soap and water after every time you go to the restroom, and after meals or working in farm labor.
Sorry, but if you had actually read the scientific papers, you would have noticed that it says that anti-bacterial soaps are not just not better, but in fact are worse for you than a good basic soap.
Why? Because, as we in the medical research community like to point out, and our friends in the biochemistry community as well, anti-bacterial soaps breed antibiotic-resistant strains of many diseases.
STOP. Do not use or buy anti-bacterial soaps. Do not use or buy anti-bacterial sprays - use a standard detergent or a common vinegar solution.
By using these soaps you breed strains of diseases that are difficult to fight.
How do you think we got drug-resistant staph infections in the first place? People overusing drugs when they shouldn't have.
won't get a plug-in hybrid because I have come to feel a connection to our earth and the plug-in hybrid uses more resources overall. It saves gasoline directly but burns a lot of it to charge the batteries and uses much more in terms of cost - more than you'll get back in gas savings ever.
Where I live most electricity comes from hydro, wind, or tidal energy (WA). Same is true in BC and other places.
From our viewpoint the plug-in hybrids use electricity that creates less pollution which also costs less than one-tenth as much as gasoline would - and cheaper in some cases. The battery aspects you refer to are old-style batteries from a few decades ago.
In Seattle tri-pane windows are pretty common in anything built from the mid-90s onwards.
Also, most of our houses have R values of 30 or more.
I used to live in a 1912 house with a big yard, but sold it to move to a townhouse - same square feet of space, but a smaller yard, and my electric and heating bills are about one-fourth what they were in the old house - and I had retrofit that place with insulation.
The air leaks in the old house were, as you say, the largest impact on heating.
1. Use as little space as possible, so as to reduce unnecessary energy use.
2. Realize that the more space you devote to a garage, the larger the number of inefficient automobiles you will buy to fill it.
3. Spend all money saved in replacing inefficient corporate jets with green jets that use half the fuel to carry the same passenger load - or ride coach.
But that would be efficient design of an energy-efficient house.
Now, maybe he'll get a plug-in hybrid for the garage, that gets more than 100 mpg, that might help a bit.
Well, technically, in WATFOR. And I coded it by hand on punch cards, even though I waited until the 360 operator went on a break to steal the main console and execute my runs for my players.
Don't you mean he's one of the people responsible for ending it?
True. As a result of the GWB WH and the actions of the GOP in the House and Senate, it is highly likely they will be cast into the wilderness for another 40 years, as happened after WW II.
Can't say I'll miss those lying apostate traitors.
Little remembered will be the fact that, as opposed to the treasonous liar Scooter Libby who lied about how he actively outed an active CIA operative and her overseas intelligence network, Karl Rove admitted he told the media, and thus only committed treason.
So some random analyst assumes the PS3 is the problem
Actually, it's all over the media. G4 TV has been quite frank in how the PS3 delays are way longer for virtually all announced games, although they say some of that is just due to marketroids overpromising game ship dates.
It's pretty sad, since they've yanked off a lot of the people to start work on Grand Theft Auto: Emerald City.
Especially since this Seattle based version, with a fictional Grey's Anatomy "Seattle Grace" hospital where KOMO TV is next to the Space Tower (Space Needle), doesn't even have the Fremont Troll, although it does have an Art Car where the Fremont Troll should be.
Personally, I'd love to play it, but it sounds like I'll have to wait for the Mac version, cause it requires Windows Vista, that or wait for the Wii version.

no, we're saying leave the hospital when they say you can go home.

Then scrub - it comes off very very fast.

Sorry, if you knew anything about biochemistry or medicine, I might waste time arguing with you, but the science is clear.
Anti-bacterial soaps are just plain bad.
Period.

not just there, they just put up another one on the main drag of Capitol Hill in Seattle.
That's not in England. It's here.

The future's so bright, I've gotta wear shades
NYC is far more energy efficient than SF or Seattle, actually.
... well, don't get me started.
Per capita energy usage - and per capita global warming gas emission per capita - are both much lower there.
LA
No, you're confusing efficiency per square meter with efficiency in terms of kilojoules of energy consumed per capita.
Smaller house means less energy per capita.
Now I can stop wearing my tin-foil helmet to protect me from the Blue Wave of Death ...

of both Canada and the US.
In fact, I have registered copyrights on file with both the US Library of Congress and the Canadian equivalent - which cost me money to file.
When I or my son make a video, we are Canadians, and we ignore the Soviet-style illegal "laws" of the US.
Fair use is international law - not US only. Not what US courts say.

can't find Ubuntu on the Dell site? Probably because it would be listed under Linux.
Which is connected to a wireless secure router.
I could have not secured it, in which case anyone could wargang it and download music without authorization.
Or it could be my son had a friend over who did it while he was upstairs in the bathroom - usually as a joke, teens do that a lot.
Or it could be the girlfriend of my son wanted to show him her cool blog which had music on it.
