A shot glass or two full if human; more if animal. (Yes, vampires can drink animal as well, but it just doesn't seem to be as potent. Beef is best) If Human, from a willing donor. (*always get to know your donors. Also, make sure you get them screened for disease or sickness before ever drinking from them!)

The same holds true here. Every myth, every legend, every author, every movie producer ascribes different and varied vulnerabilities to the vampyre being depicted. A few of the more commonly accepted quirks are detailed in question [201] in the Traditional FAQ located at http://www.altvampyres.net/newsgroup/faq.

In these books, I wanted to boldly explore the definition of the term vampire and to take it into a whole new realm. I didn't want to tread the common ground, but rather I let loose my imagination and wanted to expand the genre and see just where it could take us. These are vampires like you have never seen them before.

Only the first time you see it. After all these years, you don't seriously imagine there's anything new to be said about Dracula's motivations, do you? 9. I see what you mean. Good. 10. So whom can I flame? Before you start, drop the grammar. Using "whom" isn't going to impress anyone around here.

Ans. As you know, blood is a life saving medicine, which works wonders in certain medical treatments, and life threatening situations. It is an emergency medicine. Our society is today threatened by scarcity of blood. The only source of blood right now is human being. This issue has got further complexes by professional donors, who donate blood for money. These donors have contributed towards rapid spread of killer diseases like AIDS, Hepatitis B & Hepatitis C in the society.

Yes. Any exposure involving mucous membranes is considered “significant” and immediate irrigation is required. Experts recommend no less than 20 to 30 minutes of continual irrigation with water or saline (although we suggest using Lactated Ringer’s to improve patient comfort), starting as soon as possible after the exposure. Treatment should not be delayed to determine whether or not the patient has an infectious disease.

Yes. In the same way goths tend to enjoy things relating to magick, ghosts, the paranormal and alternative religions, they will very often seek out and absorb anything vampire related too. Threads in UPG regarding shows like Ultraviolet, The Masquerade and even Forever Knight back this up, and the idea of more movies based on Anne Rice novels is always a source of excitement. Vampire legends exist in most cultures and hence are an important part of world mythology.

No! Your average goth thinks that people pretending to be or acting like vampires represent all that is pants in goth. Plastic fangs are not merely frowned upon, they are completely and utterly taboo and anyone wearing them might as well go the whole hog with a T-shirt saying "I am tosser. Please do not talk to me or even make eye contact".

Oh yeah... refer to section [3.03] of the Traditional FAQ located at http://www.altvampyres.net/newsgroup/faq.

The most common coupling fluid in use is DI water. Other fluids can be used but chances are that they will absorb more ultrasound than water and at very high frequencies may cause poor signal levels. The instrument operator must choose a fluid that will not harm the sample or the instrument. Alcohols such as IPA are the next most common fluid.

In cases where losses aren’t severe, athletes can replace these fluids by drinking isoosmotic beverages that will serve to replace lost nutrients and electrolytes.

A group of tests that are important for diagnosing lupus will be performed. The results of these tests (serology) will be sent to you if you choose to receive them. The DNA in your blood will be analyzed to determine which genes may be involved in lupus and to address other scientific questions about lupus as they arise. A permanent cell line will be established and this cell line may be used for other approved lupus research at a later time.

You can give blood every 56 days (8 weeks). Every time you donate, you will have to meet the same criteria as you did before, and pass the medical examination.
