Don't give children under age 6 laxatives without a doctor's recommendation. If you're pregnant, ask your doctor before using laxatives. Bulk-forming laxatives and stool softeners are generally safe to use during pregnancy, but stimulant laxatives may be harmful. If you've recently given birth, consult your doctor before using laxatives.
Delica Beads made by Miyuki in Japan are the original precision made cylinder bead. 1.6mm size with a roomy hole and over 1000 colours avialable make a glass bead akin to a pixel. Delicas can be used to represent almost anything. Delica beads mesh beautifully and behave like fabric when woven together.
As far as I know, most of the Nikon DLSR's are made in Japan, yes. At least my D60 is. My D70s along with 18-70mm Nikon zoom lens, SB-600 flash, were all made in Thailand. My Nikon 70-300 zoom lens is made in Japan. These were all purchased in the US, not 'grey market' products. Beware of grey market products (more on Nikon's website).
