		<content type="html">Resomation(R) is a trademarked name for particular process offered by Resomation LTD. Resomation(R) is not the universal name for using water and alkali for the final disposition of human remains.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The soft remains need not go down the toilet; such would be a waste similar to incinerating a body or placing an unsterile remain in the ground. The option of placing soft remains in the sewer is a lot less noxious than spewing 96% of a body into the air. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CycledBurial returns 25-30% more of the bones than would a cremation, as no bones are incinerated in the process. The bones become pure white powder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Burial options have not evolved for millenniums. Consumers, in general, do not spend time thinking about their final disposition options, so they accept what is readily offered. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Death should lead to a final resting place, not the beginning of an endless cycle of consumption of resources. Consider the never ending use of fuel, water, pesticides, and fertilizer used to keep burial grounds "green". (Nitrogen, a fertilizer, consumes 2% of the world’s natural gas output.) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Burials that involve caskets, vaults, and cemetery plots require the use of vast amounts of land, concrete, metals, and wood. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A CycledBurial does require the use of water, alkali, and energy. The total cost for these materials for an average sized person is $12.50 to $25.00 depending on the type of alkali selected. The water and alkali are returned to the earth, so they are recycled. The energy usage is equivalent to that contained in about 2.5 gallons of gasoline, a savings of the equivalent of 24 gallons of gasoline compared to a cremation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CycledLife's CycledBurial process was designed to protect the living from prions, viruses, and bacteria. It transforms unsterile remains into hygienic remains. It consumes a tenth the fossil fuel compared with a cremation. It does not require the dedication of finite land resources. Our systems offer the most practical and sustainable means of dealing with the inevitable for the 6.8 billion people on the planet. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For consumers and funeral directors the introduction of CycledLife's new, patent pending CycledBurial systems allows for pathogen free burial for a cost comparable to that of a cremation. &lt;a href="http://www.CycledLife.com"&gt;www.CycledLife.com&lt;/a&gt;</content>

		<content type="html">Hey Justin, these are legitimate picks, I pretty much agree with them all except I have the WHite Sox winning the NL Central, I think they ahve the bats to do it.  I’m looking forward to this year’s season, should be another good one.  I made a top ten list of my projections for the regular season results: &lt;a href="http://www.toptentopten.com/topten/projected+baseball+teams+2009+regular+season"&gt;http://www.toptentopten.com/topten/projected+baseball+teams+2009+regular+season&lt;/a&gt;. I think my picks are solid, if you don’t agree you can actually change the order by voting.</content>
