You've heard the term 'exploratory surgery.'
Sounds cool and macho.
However, when you are on the receiving end, or someone you love is on the receiving end, the term 'exploratory surgery' is far from cool or macho.
Actual Patient Case History leading to Chronic Eosinophilic Pneumonia:
82 year old male with a severe bout of bilateral pneumonia treated successfully with antibiotics.
Then the pneumonia came back.
Treated again with antibiotics.
Pnemonia came back ... again.
Pleural Empyema followed causing liters of fluid build-up in the lining of his lungs. While the paramedic was running the patient down the hall, he asked, "Do you want to be resuscitated if we lose you?"
The patient ended up staying in the hospital for 3 weeks. Every few days the doctor performed a thoracentesis removing fluid from between the lung's linings. When I say removed fluid, they removed over a liter of fluid. Not an ounce.
There was no sign of the fluid production stopping.
The patient, who is my grandfather, cal...

Panetta throws in the towel on 2013 base closures
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta says it's now clear another round of BRAC isn't in the cards in the immediate future, but maintains it will be necessary to keep a "balanced force."
00Too many branches on the DoD treeLisa LisaThere is always opportunity for savings. IMO the problem is, Panetta has to dig deep in to the trenches of how his DoD operates and all of the directorates, divisions, etc. I worked under WHS under DoD and there was a LOT of fat to Panetta isnt going to find out these fatty areas unless he asks for employee's opinions directorate by directorate. It will cost less that a BRAC thats for sure.32433{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }0Disagreelonzo71but whatever, But before we close bases here in the states, why are we not focus on closing overseas bases? We dont need them to protect the US and I'm tired of closing home bases when there are too many overseas bases still left to close!

Local clergy, civic leaders and residents will participate Tuesday in the National Day of Fasting and Prayer for Immigration Reform.
Cincinnati's prayer vigil will be held at the Su Casa Hispanic Center in Carthage.
Some local groups will be holding signs outside of Great American Ball Park today and Thursday while the Reds play, protesting Arizona's new immigration law and seeking signatures for a petition that asks Major League Baseball to move the 2011 All-Star Game from the state. The Cincinnati Interfaith Workers Center, the Immigration Advocacy Movement and various religious and civic leaders are organizing the event and will distribute leaflets to passersby.
Also, some participants plan to disrupt today's game by unfurling two large banners stating "Not in Arizona, not in Ohio — Immigrant Rights Now — No S.B. 1070" and "Shame on Arizona, Don't Spread Hate." The action was planned after Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig's announcement that he won't change the venue for next year's All-Star Game.
This week's issue of CityBeatfeatures an article about the grassroots effort last year to have the city of Cincinnati establish a Domestic Partnership Registry.
Ultimately, Equality Cincinnati (EC) became part of the effort, assumed responsibility for the registry and then delayed trying to have one officially enacted through City Council.
Instead, EC created its own symbolic registry, with no connection to City Hall.
Several dozen Cincinnati residents will participate in Saturday's "Reclaim the Dream" rally in Washington, D.C.
The rally was organized by the Rev. Al Sharpton and the National Action Network after it was announced that conservative TV talk show host and self-described "rodeo clown" Glenn Beck was holding a demonstration on the mall in Washington, D.C., on the 47th anniversary of the Rev. Martin Luther King's historic "March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom."
Last week's Porkopolis column examined the in-fighting among the various Tea Party factions after the spokesman of the Tea Party Express wrote a satirical blog item about a letter from "Coloreds" to President Abraham Lincoln.
The not very funny but very hateful item was written by conservative radio talk show host Mark Williams, who was angered by the NAACP's resolution asking the political movement to denounce and expel its racist elements.
Phil Burress' obsession with other people's sex lives is continuing unabated.
Burress, the head of Sharonville-based Citizens for Community Values (CCV), is upset that this year's Cincinnati Equinox Pride Festival is being held downtown on the Fourth of July and could potentially intrude on some Independence Day events. CCV has sent a mass e-mail to its followers, asking them to write letters of protest to companies sponsoring the event.
It's definitely a sign of the times we live in.
More than 70 unemployed people were joined by labor union leaders, clergy and community activists today to push of the passage of a federal jobs bill. In an event organized by the AMOS Project, the crowd circled Fountain Square chanting, "We need a job" and "I'm ready to work," while brandishing signs containing similar sentiments.
An animal rights group had one of its members question executives of the Kroger Co. grocery store chain at its annual shareholders meeting held here Thursday.
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) had member Lindsay Rajt, who also is a Kroger shareholder, ask during the meeting whether Kroger has plans to move toward a less cruel method of poultry slaughter, called "controlled-atmosphere killing" (CAK), instead of its current practice.
Despite numerous examples of intolerance and hatred at its events and multiple polls showing the group represents only a small minority of the populace, the noisy Tea Party movement continues to gain an unwarranted amount of media attention as it strives for respectability.
CityBeat first wrote about the Springboro Tea Party last month, detailing the agenda for a rally planned Saturday that's heavy with speakers from the John Birch Society and movies about far-right conspiracy theories.
Now the Tea Party leader organizing the event, Brian "Sonny" Thomas, is under fire for racist and vulgar comments he posted on Twitter, which has prompted several politicians to cancel their appearances at the rally.

It is Friday, Feb. 1, and before the gathering of years can further tarnish our public recollection, the Easley Progress will shake off the red rust of time and open up the archives to February of 1961.
The front page reported that Ann Mull of Easley had been named Senior of the Month at Carey College in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
The Progress also featured a headline that read:
"Lemon Bush Here Produces King-Sized Fruit"
The article detailed that several members of school faculty in Easley had grown a lemon bush that produced a lemon that was converted into three lemon pies and ten ounces of juice.
The Colony Theatre in Easley was showing "It's Only Money" starring Jerry Lewis and "The Manchurian Candidate" starring Frank Sinatra.
Several advertisements were also featured.
Wrenn and Syracuse sold steak for .49 cents a pound and two dozen eggs for 89 cents.
Crane Chevrolet of Easley announced Chevrolet truck quality.
"You can see the difference wherever you look"
"Just call us to test drive one of the new reliables"
In other news, John F. Kennedy would remain President of the United States until his assassination in Dallas Texas on November 22, 1963, and the RMS Titanic had been beneath the waves of the northern Atlantic for 51 years.
The Easley Progress was in its 62nd year.

Fester Reveals New Artwork; Streams Song Via BraveWords
Tuesday, November 15th, 2011Norwegian pioneers in blackened death metal, Fester have revealed the cover art and tracklisting for their forthcoming new album, A Celebration Of Death. The band's first offering of new material in 17 years, A Celebration Of Death will be out in early 2012 through Abyss Records. In an exclusive premier, Bravewords.com is now streaming the track "Rites of Ceres." Visit this location to experience the return of Fester!
The cover for A Celebration Of Death was painted by artist Eliran Kantor (Testament, Sodom, Atheist, Sigh, Anacrusis). The rest of the layout was done by Joce of Industrie Chimere Noire (Portal, Ghäst, Total Holocaust). The core members of the band, bassist Jon Bakker (Kampfar), vocalist Thomas Andersen and guitarist/vocalist Bjørn "Tiger" Mathisen, all made the following comments regarding the album:
"A Celebration Of Death is a whirl of flavours hitting you all at once. All the varieties makes you spin the tracks over and over again. A real treat for the fans of Black, Death and Doom. The mix of musicians makes everything really original, but all in all Fester reeks through it all." – Jon Bakker
"For me personally, A Celebration of Death has the ultimate lyrics evolving the theme of death, and it manages to pull all my aggression just to the edge, without turning over " – Thomas Andresen
"Have you ever felt the sensation of darkness and death embracing you, and that you actually welcome it? Like love, death comes in all different shapes and sizes, and I really feel that we have captured our feelings around the theme. It's darker and more melancholic than our previous releases, but it's FESTER no doubt!" – Bjørn "Tiger" Mathisen
Rites of Ceres
The black tower
March of death
I'll hunt you down
Jeg spytter på deg
Last day of battle Pt.I
Last day of battle Pt.II
A Face for a funeral (bonus)
Rites of Mortiis (Remix of Ceres by Mortiis)
In addition to Bakker, Andersen Mathisen, A Celebration Of Death also features Audun Kleive (session drums), Raymond Pellicer (additional guitars, programming and synth), Eivind Aarseth (additional guitars), Guido Saint Roch (guest vocals on "Metalized") and Mortiis (Dark Converter). For more on Fester, visit the band's Facebook page. Norway's atmospheric masters have returned to once again change the face of black/death metal. Prepare yourselves…

to involuntarily expel a beverage that is in one's mouth in reaction to a startling, usually humorous, event. When he said that, I totally gerbed all over my shirt.

One gram of marijuana Yo im just gonna buy a gerb to smoke
2. | Gerb | ||
A word Defined by 2 High school students referring to a guy with a relatively small penis. The term "Gerb" is short for Gerber. Gerber is used as a baby food brand name. Therefore, Gerb means a person with a Baby sized Dick. Person A. Why is that kid so down and depressed?
Person B. Oh him? I heard he got that Gerb. Person with Gerb: "I got that Big Meat!" Associates: "Shut up Gerb." |

4. | gerb | ||
A skater type person, donning oval shaped skating shoes. Usually also wearing cargo shorts that come to the bottom of the knee, and an excessively graphic graphic tee that tends to draw your sight from the peripheral, only to rape your senses once you've focused on it. gerbs are also known to own many assortments of graphic flat-brimmed hats, usually having one to match each of their excessively graphic tee shirts. they tend to have some piercing, either the eyebrow or small gauges. the gerb's hobbies are usually transfixed on skate-type hobbies, either some sort of skating or often times "tagging" the areas just like they learned from tony hawk underground video game series. gerbs smoke (and will attempt to sell you) a distinct strain of low quality marijuana called "gerb weed" which will immediately make you pass out and wake up with no energy. gerbs should be avoided at all cost, they are a total and utter waste. the new guy that moved in down the hall is a total gerb. Not only does he stink up the whole hall doing his shitty "tag-art" with all those spraypaints, but i hear him clunking around in those obnoxious skate shoes all damn day. fucking gerb
5. | gerb | ||
To cry, to weep, to shed tears. Especially in reaction to chick flicks and holiday film favorites. Refers to the Gerber baby found on the Gerber Baby Foods label. Watched "It's A Wonderful Life" last night - makes me gerb every damn time!

Replace it with the word "grab". Origonated from a young man in Bath Maine. 1) Yo dude gerb me that.

SOUND OFF: Feb. 11 - Obama trying to derail country; Why is my IRA being taxed?; Values define who we are
Hey, everybody, guess what? President Obama majored in studying the Constitution of the United States of America when he went to college. That wasn't to uphold it, apparently, but to destroy it. I urge you folks to look into Switzerland's gun control laws and other countries' abortion laws. Not that Obama would implement those laws, but he has put this country on the wrong track. Obama is trying to derail us. I believe that completely. He just sent another $150 million to Syria, and that amount or more over to Africa. We in the United States are seeing our gas and food prices increase. This is pathetic. People who cannot see through this man's agenda need to have a thorough head examination.
Commerce Township
After the U.S House of representatives impeached Bill Clinton, the majority of the Senate voted to convict him, but convictions required a two-thirds vote. That was not reached because the Democratic senators protected him. The state of Arkansas suspended his law license and he was prohibited from practicing before the U.S. Supreme Court. If George Gardner takes his head out of the sand, he'll know that Walter Williams' accusations were not reckless.
GM announced a $200 million expansion. It is my understanding that GM still owes the government -- taxpayers -- $535 million, and they have asked the government to forgive that loan. Is this $200 million part of that $535 million that they're expecting the government to forgive?
Waterford Township
I am 70 years old and I have an IRA. The state of Michigan is taxing it. This doesn't seem right to me. I want to find out if there any other people who had this happen, and what do they think.
Rochester Hills
The color of our skin or the amount of money we have does not define who we are as individuals. Our behavior and our values define us. Most Americans are not 100 percent of any race or ethnicity. The president of the United States is a prime example of that. Most able-bodied Americans strive to achieve and enjoy their own accomplishments, paving the way for others to do the same. Political correctness is used to abuse our freedom of speech in order to divide us. The entertainment industry has abused our freedom of expression to promote violence and immorality because it is profitable. Many of our politicians in Washington decided to ignore defending our country when they realized they could enrich their own lives by diminishing ours. We can't afford to continue sacrificing our freedoms, our rights and our values hoping it will change the bad choices of others. It won't and it hasn't. It only encourages more bad behavior.

Finley Woodard has been named the first female head coach of the Logan County High School girls' basketball team, replacing Scot MacAllister, who stepped down from that post recently.
Woodard, who works at Western Kentucky University as associate director of admissions, will work as a paraprofessional, which means she is not a teacher at the school she coaches.
She joins boys' basketball coach Lonnie Mason, who also serves as a paraprofessional.
Principal Casey Jaynes said 15 people applied for the job and four were interviewed before the position was offered to Woodard.
"We did check and make sure there would be no problems with NCAA rules with her working in admissions at WKU — and there aren't," Jaynes said.
Woodard said she was looking forward to getting started as coach and was thrilled when she was offered the job.
"I have a passion for coaching basketball," Woodard said. "I have been an assistant for about 13 years, and when this came open, I really wanted to take this opportunity to be a head coach."
Woodard spent two different stints as an assistant coach at LCHS. Most recently she was an assistant at Greenwood High School.
"I like playing an uptempo style," Woodard said. "When I played, I always liked to get up and down the court. We'll also be playing very good defense, because I think that is definitely a key to winning."
Logan County went 9-19 this past season under MacAllister. The Lady Cougars' most successful season in recent years came in 2010, when they went 18-12 and advanced to the semifinals of the 4th Region Tournament.
Woodard said she is confident she can lead the team to even greater success in the future.
"I think there is a great group of girls here," Woodard said. "We'll get there by working hard and having a great work ethic."

Botha's contractual bungle set to explode
1 Apr 2008
Bakkies Botha's transfer saga continues to get more twisted, with both the Bulls and Toulon laying claim to him.
Botha is one of a number of elite players targeted by the French second division club, who already own Botha's Springbok lock partner Victor Matfield, legendary Australia scrumhalf George Gregan, All Blacks Anton Oliver and Andrew Mehrtens, while All Blacks great Tana Umaga coaches the galaxy of stars.
When keo.co.za spoke to millionaire Toulon president Mourad Boudjellal on a recent visit to the club, he explained that Botha had signed a pre-contract with them, and would join on 1 April. He said the document indicated Botha's intent to sign an official contract but explained that Botha was now legally obligated to join the club.
The Bulls, however, refused to release the player, despite his request, citing the fact that he was bound to the franchise by a four year contract he signed in late 2007.
This website has learned that Boudjellal last week showed the Toulon media the contract with Botha's signature on the dotted line. Boudjellal insisted that they would secure Botha's services irrespective of the Bulls' assertions to the contrary.
If Botha failed to arrive on the specified date, Boudjellal said the club would proceed with legal action against the player. As it stands Botha is with the Bulls in Perth preparing for their Super 14 match against the Force. Unless the lock has developed a supernatural ability to teleport himself across the world, he is unlikely to show up for work in the south of France.
Toulon claim they have sent a copy of the signed contract to the South African Rugby Union [Saru]. However, Saru general manager of policy and regulations, Christo Ferreira, insists he has not received anything of the sort – but explained that manager of national teams Andy Marinos may be in possession of the document. Marinos asked to be contacted later on Tuesday, but would neither confirm or deny having received the contract.
"If the two parties are looking for mediation on the matter, the IRB usually deals with that. But Saru may intervene if they are requested to [by the IRB] although that hasn't been the case to date," Ferreira told keo.co.za.
Botha's agent, Bernie Habana, failed to respond to questions around where the process stood, while Bulls CEO Barend van Graan was vehemently opposed to discussing the matter. "Please don't ask me about Bakkies. I'm not talking about that. No comment," Van Graan barked.
As it stands both the Bulls and Toulon have a contract with Botha, and Toulon will feel they have a watertight case should they opt to take legal action. The Bulls won't relent on their position that the player has committed to them for the next four years, so the battle could get even messier in the coming weeks.
How Botha got himself into this situation is perplexing. He has no escape clause in his Bulls contract. In fact, he requested a long-term contract from the Bulls so that he would have financial security. Yet he, or his agent acting on his behalf, felt it appropriate to sign a legally bonding document with Toulon and he now finds himself in the middle of a brutal battle.

Won't be surprised if he is granted asylum in SA…
Probably be bestowed with a doctorate or two, like that other mad dog from Haiiti.
We spent R10m for Thabo to go see him that time in Port Whatever, I recall… -

If we ever meet up or if there is drastic change in Zim…I will tell you of the encounter I had with him and some of his henchmen.
1 Apr 2008, 16:43 pmCheers Ranger
Let's chill a while and see what happens in the morning. -
1 Apr 2008, 16:44 pmWalla,
Did you pee on the wrong bush in Zim?
1 Apr 2008, 16:46 pmWalla
yeah, I gathered as much over the past two years, that you had some dealings there in Zim.
Well, perhaps in September, instead of CT we can go to the Falls, would be nice.
But then Bob has to go, I don't trust myself near that ape. -

Did the henchmen manhandle you, jail you, throw you out of Zim?
You're lucky you did not just vanish like so many others….
1 Apr 2008, 16:53 pmAB
Jameson raid wasnt the English, it was Rhodes and his henchmen, Rhodes was Prime Minister of the Cape at that stage. Granted it was a subterfuge that was supported by the English, which ultimately led to the end of the ZAR after the war. So Saffas had no particular love for the Rhodesians (well a certain section anyway). The fact is, South Africa has stood by and watched the country to the north of us go down the tubes twice. I dont agree with it, just stating facts.
1 Apr 2008, 16:54 pmGBS/Walla
Yes, I also have to be out now.
Will reccee the situation again at daybreak.
Mooi loop. -

So the Prime Minister of the British Colony is not representing them?So you call Zimbabwe becoming a democratic country going down the tubes? Mugabe only lost it much later!

Faaaaaaaark, ek het nou so baie plekke waar ek moet check, moet nog n paar pennies ook maak so tussen alles deur!
Sien jou. -
1 Apr 2008, 17:09 pmPiet, GBS and manne
I picked this up and I am reading other stories that seem to back this up…..
Mugabe is negotiating with Tsvangirai, amid signs that he maybe prepared to resign, according to the New York Times.Mugabe has opted for a possible transfer of power because he regards a run-off as demeaning, a diplomatic source told the paper.
If true this would be a "stunning turnabout", as the paper says.
"Hurray for Zimbabwe!! Best news in a long time", says EBain on Twitter (thanks for the tip).
The NYT quotes local insider John Makumbe saying: "The chiefs of staff are talking to Morgan and are trying to put into place transitional structures."
It should be pointed out that Makumbe has suggested before that Mugabe is on his way out. In 2006 he told the New Yorker that Mugabe had run out of solutions. "
1 Apr 2008, 17:12 pm#414 AB
My comment was a philosophical one. the same thing has happened twice to the same country while its neighbour stood by and watched. Rhodes was acting for the BSA company, as the country which became known as Rhodesia had been given to the British South Africa company to run by decree (first time in history by the way, the Dutch East India co was slightly different, as they ran Holland aswell). I am not sure in my own mind whether democracy is the best way forward, maybe it is, but their is no accounting for evil men of which Mugabe is one. Classic case of absolute power corrupts absolutely. the man started political life as a minister of the church, who used Marxist Russia, professing to be a Marxist, to ultimatly set up a dictatorship. It is arguable the in this case should the minority have remained in power it probably would have been better for the country ultimately. I have no doubt in my mind that the true culprit is Imperial Britain, which abandoned its policies of Imperialism and left most of the colonies in chaos. i doubt anyone would win a court case against them in Geneva though, besides the fact that money would have to be found and most of the maligned people are now geriatrics.

Interesting news.
The Generals are yet to have their say….I say watch for the coup, its a strong possibility. -
1 Apr 2008, 17:22 pmThis Zim thing is balancing on a knife-edge…
Hope this thing is peacefully resolved with the MDC taking over…
1 Apr 2008, 17:29 pmMy vraag: hoekom het die big US of A of Brittanje of Frankryk of wie ookal nie lankal Zim ingeval nie … is dit dalk omdat hy 'black en beautiful' is, en nie 'wit en lelik' is nie ?
Of is daar nie genoeg olie in Zim om 'n 'heilige oorlog' te verklaar daarteen, soos teen Irak nie ?
1 Apr 2008, 17:29 pmIf Bothas' contract does explode, does he have to clean up the mess?
1 Apr 2008, 17:30 pmOCO, dit is 1 April
1 Apr 2008, 17:32 pm#421 Alf
Its the lack of oil in my opinion.
Although some press in the UK has been saying that the USA were about to intervene in Zim. Maybe this is why Mugabe is ready to stand down. -
1 Apr 2008, 17:32 pmAlf,
Good to see ya. The Us of A is only interested if there is an economic benefit. In other words, if the equation (monetary benefits – cost of invasion) is positive then the dumb yanks will intervene.
1 Apr 2008, 17:34 pmAlf #423,
I was an hour ahead of you on that! Mind you, every day here in the ME is 1st April!
1 Apr 2008, 17:36 pmmarlin
It is becoming less of that.
Some security officials are concerned that the vote against Mugabe was too big that a popular uprising is inevitable if Mugabe announced victory.
Mugabe has been persuaded at least to delay this or not to do it at all.
The delay in results I believe is that Mugabe is in negotiation with MDC and to prevent party factions from fighting..this is why we are seeing even results being announced.
I have hope for Zimbabwe…I hope this all pans out according to what media reports are saying.
MDC has kept there lines of communication open with moderate zanu pf party members and more importantly the most influential man to the defence…Solomon Mujuru.
Solomon headed up the army whilst fighting in the liberation war and so has immense respect from the military.
Morgan approached him so he could open up communication with the military which is a direct indication that support for Mugabe is severely waning and Mugabe is beginning to realise this. -

From your lips to Gods ears.

Enjoy your evening morning etc wherever you may be, its a bright sunny day in London today, and the Sharks are going to kick arse this weekend. -
1 Apr 2008, 17:59 pmCould this article be about trying to embarrass Bernie Habana and thereby boost a player-agency based in the Cape?
In fairness though – this does sound like bit of a ****-up.
1 Apr 2008, 18:10 pmTrain,
I doubt whether "the Player Agency" in Cape Town has anything to do with this….. Bernie is his own worst enemy, not having been accredited as Player Agent with SARU yet.
I think nothing will come from the threats of Toulon…..
1 Apr 2008, 19:16 pmWallabie,
RM is still investigating whether he would be elligible to run for president in SA – first choice – or the cost of being put into suspended animation to await his next 'coming'.
1 Apr 2008, 19:44 pmBakkies is overrated anyway. a world class player does NOT ONLY shine when the team is winning and dominating….ala Bakkies. They show there class when the team is doing poorly too. Somneone like Latham always shows his class and his danger…always. Vic shows his class. Breyton used to in his 1999 to 2002 era and Andre Joubert etc … when they got the ball you just felt like atleast they would do the best thing or get the team on the front foot again.
Bakkies just disappears ! Far too often.How many lineout steals this S14 ? -
1 Apr 2008, 20:11 pmThanks GBS – do you know how many players Bernie looks after?
1 Apr 2008, 20:22 pmTrain,
Not sure, I know he is supposedly the Agent for Meisiekind, Bakkies, Bryan
An un-accredited Agent is only allowed to act if he is family…… like Bernie with his son, Bryan
1 Apr 2008, 23:25 pmBakkies would not have agreed to something which he cannot deliver on – there would always have to be suspensive conditions in teh contract (i.e. only IF he can get out of the other contract with eth Bulls,then he agrees to join Toulon). No self respecting agent would ever agree to anything else.
There is no way that Toulon can "enforce" a contract like that with a suspensive agreement. Sounds Like toulon are blowing a lot of smoke.
1 Apr 2008, 23:40 pmHi there.
To everyone thinking this is an april's fools, believe me: it's not.
I've personnally seen the press conference where M Boudjellal shows briefly the signed paper and says that he will sue Bakkies if he doesn't show up on April's 1st.We'll see how it goes although i doubt it'll go well for us (Toulon). Bakkies will probably remain in SA and it might be for the best. We'll be able to recruit second rows that are more interested into committing into the club than into their paychecks.
2 Apr 2008, 02:16 amIf Bakkies just gets up and leaves to play for Toulon, it will be a breech of contract with SA rugby and Bulls, so his boks days will be over. IMO.
2 Apr 2008, 08:22 amHi Romain,
I have one question.
Firstly no-one is denying that Botha signed a contract.
However it has been mentioned on this blog (by GBS I think) that there is a suspensive condition on the contract. The suspensive condition is apparently that the Bulls release him from his current contract.
If this is true then the suspensive condition has not been met and the contract is unenforceable by Toulon.
Any more info?
2 Apr 2008, 14:36 pmI'm afraid i don't know much of the details, just what M Boudjellal said to the press and a few things they've said independently.
Botha was thought to have a contractual release clause with the Bulls and he was supposed to be quite interested in leaving. He signed a precontract and we were merrily waiting for him to come when SARU and the Bulls said there was no such thing. It came a bit as a shock, it means someone's lying between SARU/Bulls and Bernie Habana. Personnally i have lots of doubts on Bernie Habana, he's already made talks for Bryan and Wynand Olivier with french club Aviron Bayonnais will both of them had contracts running with the Bulls until 2009, i remember the president of Aviron Bayonnais being quite confident as well, we even saw both players in Bayonne with a scarf of the team on their shoulders at the stadium. I don't need to tell you that these players still do not play for Aviron Bayonnais. I'm afraid the same is happening again and Bernie Habana made talks while it was impossible for Bakkies to leave SA.
2 Apr 2008, 22:40 pmMaybe Mr Habana needs a course in contract reading 101.

Armadillo Pup
Binds when picked up
Use: Teaches you how to summon this companion.
Idles about. Rolls up into a ball.
Pit-pattering footsteps; vocalizations (on-click)
Guild membership required.
Guilds can unlock this pet by completing the Critter Kill Squad guild achievement (kill 50,000 critters).
Members must be revered with their guild to purchase this pet from a guild vendor.
After trying the epl cave, zg and the sheep and being in a semi small guild (50ish) and me being about the only pet collector in my guild, theres a sweet spot in Krasarang Wilds http://www.wowhead.com/npc=58883 (feverbite)"elite" spider that calls upon a load of critters, i used my mage kept poly on it and killed the critters, surrounding trees also have critters much better wit 2, 1 tank the spider other kill critters surrounding the tree. Only took a few hours.
i never noticed it before, but mine is also showing as an Uncommon in my pet window, though the guild vendor and website list it as rare
My armadillo pup is green, not blue, in the battlepets viewer. However, on the armory under my collection, it still shows as blue! Is this a glitch?
So now with patch 5.0whatever I have this pet available to me from a diff toon, opposing faction, diff server. I'm having to rethink my WHOLE strategy on pet collecting. :/
Fyi, armory update is no longer a viable way to update one's collection here :(
Anyway, it's FILLED with buggies to kill. My baddie and I walked through spamming AOEs and went from 800 to 2300 in an afternoon. Another good place is the deeprun tram. the rats re-spawn really fast there.
....and what's 14 hours to a pet hunter?
Okay, there's something really wrong with having to slaughter thousands of defenseless little critters to get this adorable armadillo pup. Just wait 'til D.E.H.T.A. hears about this! I could see maybe limiting it to killing the icky critters like spiders, cockroaches and snakes. Oh, and rats and maggots! And don't forget those nasty toads that look all cute until you pick them up and they... well, you get the idea.

The early morning sky is cluttered with color. The large crowd that woke up as early as 5.00 a.m. to be here oohs and aahs in unison as yet another balloon inflates and calmly lifts off the ground. There must be nearly 30 of them up in the skies of north-central Mexico by now and many more to take off.
- In Mexico, Partying is Hard Work…But Someone Has to Do It
Posted on March 5, 2013 by Glynna Prentice
In the months leading up to mid-February, I went to sleep frequently to the sound of music. It comes with the territory in Mexico. From Virgin of Guadalupe Day (December 12) right through to Epiphany (January 6), Mexico is one long fiesta: a time to loosen your belt, let down your hair, and party down. Mexicans jokingly refer to it as the "Guadalupe to Reyes (Epiphany) marathon."
- Where to Find an Endless Summer…
Posted on March 5, 2013 by Michael J. Fitzgerald
In our part of coastal Mexico, there is a cadre of people who migrate annually from the Northern U.S. or Canada. Like us they enjoy the warm months in the north, and the warm winter months in Mexico. We sometimes call our lifestyle, "the endless summer." I rarely have to wear long pants and own more pairs of sandals than shoes. During our time in Mexico, we rent out the small mother-in-law apartment attached to our main two-bedroom house…

My wife Sylvia and I landed in this Pacific coast village of 302 (300 Mexicans, two gringos) six years ago. We bought a half-acre vacant lot in the center to build a modest, hacienda-style place. We had sailed from San Francisco on our 48-foot sailboat, Sabbatical but were easily lured ashore by the tranquil lifestyle.

- From Peppers to Hardwoods—Farming in the Yucatán
Posted on October 22, 2012 by John Luoma
Growing habanero peppers wasn't on my bucket list when I first visited Mexico. Nor was developing a 48-acre forest. In fact, when my wife Janet and I crossed the border in 2005, it was to explore our retirement options. Janet was 59, I was 64, and we wanted to explore Mexico, get to know its people, and see if living there was something that could work for us. I had visited our daughter in Mexico in 2004, where she was on a student exchange. It was summer and the balmy weather meant we ate outdoors. The food, full of peppers and tropical fruits, was outstanding. I fell in love with the culture—slow-paced, quiet, dignified, and peaceful. I had started and managed my own businesses in the U.S., but connecting with the land, a culture, and its people had always been my passion.

Earlier this week - yes the one that was super rainy, windy and just annoying navigating around NYC all day long. I am someone who never likes to run around wearing wellies and wet things but there was no choice as I was very excited about heading over to someone that I definitely admire within my fave field - accessories! Pamela Pekerman hosted her 2nd Annual Accessorize for the Holidays event at Kimpton Hotel's Ink 48 (a fab sponsor). We didn't have to worry about raindrops as Pamela insured that one of her sponsors, Ford picked us up in cars to the hotel. It was a nice way to get ready for a cozy night in with friends, accessories, nibbles and bevvies. I arrived rocking dual animal prints, leggings, wellies, trench coat and fab scarf!
Once inside, we headed up to the Heaven Over Hell's Kitchen Suite where we had the option to enjoy getting our hair touched up as well as manis in a portion of the suite courtesy of Maria Bonita Spa. As everyone settled in and enjoyed nibbles and bevvies, we were introduced to Pamela Pekerman's holiday picks (above she takes a picture with one of her friends from The Real Housewives of NY, Romona Singer who also brought her daughter along for the fun) which were focused on us getting ready to travel home and getting ready to enjoy the holidays with friends and family. We were introduced to fab Swarovski bling from Chelsea Taylor which I have had the pleasure of wearing for my appearances on HSN as I love to add a little sparkle which you can as well when you're at home with a fab brooch, ring and more (they even have water bottles that are blinged out).
In addition to loving a bit of bling, it's absolutely necessary to have a scarf - not just for cold weather, it looks amazing to have just a pop of color while keeping your neck cool! I have been living in my Olsen Europe scarf in ombre which looks so luxe and has been getting so many compliments! It comes in a number of colors as well as styles so you'll find the perfect one that works for your look. When it comes to finding your style, it's all about color so I love that Pamela introduced us to a site where you can shop by category but more importantly, you're favorite hue! Colour Me is the perfect site for the times when you're super particular on getting that shade but want to see all the available options!
My FAVE FAVE FAVE item of the night was from The Chick on the Go! Interestingly enough, Pamela joked that I needed this since I am always going on air and I was one of a few people that won an entire collection. This fab brand has a kit which has 5 garments and 2 accessories in it and a card that shows how you can make 25 outfits - (includes black pants, white long sleeve top, white tank, black tank dress, black poncho and a sash in white as well as black) within a case and is $289 total. I love the fact that it travels well and ensures that you can make everything fit in your bag when you're traveling which is nice as it can go over your head on your flight. As you think about traveling via your favorite airline, Travalo allows you to pump your favorite fragrance into this atomizer without dripping everywhere and this TSA 3 fl oz container ensures that you can take your scents with you.
Finally it's all about the look and we ended the night with Franco Sarto boots which elongate the leg, are comfortable and are staple as the weather goes from crisp to chilly! In addition TJ Maxx and Marshall's completed the night as they are a great way to obtain various on trend and designer looks from attire, body and home which is essential for all of your personal touches!
Definitely take some time to look at all the images photographed by Shawn Punch from the event which gives you a 360 of everything from participating brands, fab touches of the events, editors and more!

Yeah, I don't have any of those symptoms thank God. I only had a slight ache in my right side of my back, but I think that had something to do with the way I was sleeping. I only had that very slight hint of fish and nothing since, and as you all know, it was the weekend which meant a catch up of sex. (And yes, it's getting old) lol, but, anyways, no smell, and I'm only going to use the boric twice a week, and again only after sex. Shorty, thanks for taking the test for us. For me, I may be able to get by only using it after sex. Just to kill whatever funk he has going on inside of him, which I feel is the cause to this. Damn, if I just didn't love him so much!! lololololol.

hi all
well its been a couple of days since my 1 dose of boric, the following day no odour or drip, i had sex last night no odour during or after and im all good today. Im not planning on taking any more boric acid as a preventer im just observing if and when it comes back all im taking is acidophilus 2 tabs daily and lots of probiotic yogurts as snaks. Will keep you posted. Ps i hope it doesnt cause uti's that would be so unfair, perhaps its related to longterm use of boric acid , like i said i will be the 1 dose guuinea pic i mean collectively we have found and tested a cure, now its time to get some concise dosage and length of use info. Good luck 2 all |

Urinary tract infections make you pee a lot and it burns really bad. Back pain can also be a symptom if it's around your kidney area. I hope the boric acid isn't what caused mine. I'm on antibiotics for it now.

Hey all. Well the Boric seems to be still working. I did have a very slight hint of fish two nights ago, but I hadn't used the boric for a few days. My boyfriends mother had a stroke, and he has been gone, so I figured I didn't need to use it as much. Obviously I was wrong. I guess with Boric, it's going to be lifetime, or, until I decide to stop smoking and drinking so much coffee, which I'm thinking is why my b.v. is so bad. I had to be on this forever, because as with everything, you never really know what kind of long term damage it's going to do. I've developed some pain in my lower right back, and not sure if it's related to the boric. Sassy, what are the symptoms of a UTI? Anyways, just wanted to give you all an update. Still going strong with the Boric!!

Hello ladies,
I am 28 years old and I've been battling BV on and off for about 4 years now. It began with the ping pong effect of bv and then yeast. I would get BV once every 6 months or less often. Then every 3 to 4 months and now I've had it twice in lesss than two months. On top of that I"ve been diagnosed with having vulvodynia, which my doctor presumes was brought on by over the counter yeast infection creams. I've been researching this for years and have used everything from clindesse, metrogel, garlic cloves (inserted) to Wise Woman suppositories recommended by my naturopath, acidophilus suppositories, twice daily yogurt suppositories (which got rid of the symptoms for months at at time but now isnt as effective), oregano oil, herbal infused douches, berberine complex (from goldenseal)...you name it. They all worked but it was only temporary appeasement. I got a second course of antibiotics for my beau and myself. It worked the first time around but after the second time of unprotected sex with him (he is uncircumsized) it came back. I've decided to follow this regimen before taking metronidazole and so far the symptoms are gone but the bacteria could very well still be there on a microscopic level. The repHresh/acidophilus milk/water seemed to have cleared up the odor. I've decided to take the antibiotics after my period comes since the blood is alkaline and will more than likely encourage the growth of bacteria. During the course of antibiotics I will still follow this regimen until my doctors appointment. If everything is clear I will contine the regimen and take acidophilus (got from pharmacy at cvs), acdiophilus milk internally and vaginally (especially after sex, proctected for atleast 1-3 months). I've also bought some plain organic Kefir, Stoneyfield and HOrizon ogranic yogurt to eat daily. Here is my regimen: Regimen Systemic support Cut out sugars, breads, yeast, processed and refined foods as much as possible Drink6-10 cups of water daily (48-80ounces) Consume 4-8 ounces of plain organic yogurt Take 4-10 Table spoons of acidophilus milk Drink 6-8 ounces of unsweetened cranberry juice daily Take 4-12 cranberry capsules with water daily Take Immune Health supplement "System Well Ultimate Imumunity" by Nature's Way 3 pills 2x daily Drink several cups of strong Pau d arco tea (unsweetened) Take 1000mg – 3000mg of Vitamin C daily Take 60 mg of Zinc daily Take 2000mg to 6000mg of Flaxeed Oil daily (2-6 gel caps) Take 2-4 garlic pills daily with meal Internal support Alternate: Use Rephresh gell every three days. Use acidophilus milk/water douche (morning and night) on days not using rephresh gel. i.e. if you use Rephresh gel in Monday, use acidophilus milk/water douche morning and night on Tuesday and Wednesday and Rephresh on Thursday and so on. Note: after doctor's visit continue with rpH gel twice weekly and the Acidophilus douche treatment once a day 5 times a week for about two weeks or more. Other suggestions (have not incoporated yet, as I have not found the need too, but will definitely stop taking oral contraceptives): Purchase acidophilus powder and capsules (good to superior quality) one strain (to be take internall and vaginally) Get Aci Gel (just in case; it restores ph) Stop birth control Purchase "tiny kit" re-useable from CVS (reuseable douche to put water and acidophilus milk/powder mixture in) Natural pads REMEMBER IF A STRONG ANTIBIOTIC LIKE FLAGYLL NEEDS TO USED TWICE A DAY FOR A WEEK OR MORE, A NATURAL METHOD WILL HAVE TO BE USED VIGOROUSLY FOR SEVERAL months or ATLEAST A MONTH OR MORE. also check out his very helpful link: http://www.womentowomen.com/digestionandgi.../probiotics.asp |

Look at this guys...although I'm pretty sure none of us actually have this...it's weird.
Fish odour syndrome (trimethylaminuria) is a metabolic syndrome caused by abnormal excretion of trimethylamine in the breath, urine, sweat, saliva and vaginal secretions. Trimethylamine is derived from the intestinal bacterial degradation of foods rich in choline and carnitine and is normally oxidised by the liver to odorless trimethylamine N-oxide which is then excreted in the urine. Impaired oxidation of trimethylamine is thought to be the cause of the fish odour syndrome and is responsible for the smell of rotting fish. Certain foods rich in choline exacerbate the condition and the patients have a variety of psychological problems. Recognition of the condition is important as dietary adjustments reduce the excretion of trimethylamine and may reduce the odour. Occasionally, a short course of metronidazole, neomycin and lactulose may suppress production of trimethylamine by reducing the activity of gut microflora. |

I guess I better get on board with the boric acid.Since I've had the miscarriage it seems like it's trying to come back.It's been 3 or 4 months since i've seen or smelled this smell and here it comes again.Could this be a hormonal thing or could it be the flagyl? Someone please answer!

Hey girls...just to let you know, I have a urinary tract infection now. I'm not sure if it's related with using the boric acid or not, but just be careful. Ow! I will resume my boric acid in a couple of weeks I guess.

Girls Girls Girls, you have got to get on board with the Boric Acid!!! Straight quote from my fiance "Babe, do you realize it's been a LONG time since we've had the smell!!" This has been the longest I've gone in years with out the itty bitty fish head smell. I only use the boric now after sex and maybe once a week, since I only see my fiance on the weekends!! Anyways, GET ON BOARD GIRLS!!! It really works!!!

I use one 00 gelcap at night. In the beginning I used it everynight for about a week. Now, I only use it approx. twice a week, and ALWAYS after sex. I was in California this past weekend so I didn't use it 1 time after sex, and the smell was still gone.
If you do a research on it, I think it tells you to use it for a specific amount of time, I just don't want to speak out of line. So click the Search button, and do some research. That will help alot!! Tell your friend I said, she will be amazed at how well it works!! |

ok, please someone post the amounts you're using, frequency, etc. it's totally sex related for my girlfriend too and she's willing to try the boric acid (or anything) at this point. i just don't know what to tell her about how much and how often to use it.
thanks girlies! |

Hi ladies...
I had some difficulty getting my handle to work with the new format, but now I'm back. Things have been ok and odor free since my successful self-treatment with the boric acid until... (key dramatic scary music) I met a new boy. Ain't that always the way??? Dang it. It seems I only get two choices: either I can be celibate and odorless (with no one to appreciate it) or I can be dating and stinky. SIGH!!! Waaaah! LOL. So we met three months ago and started having sex a few weeks ago. He is wonderful, sensitive, funny, thoughtful and caring. The sex is fantastic. He is an oral magician -- better than anything I've ever experienced, and hey, I will be 30 in September so I've tried my share. But alas, he is uncircumcised. Which shouldn't matter one bit, since we are very diligent about using condoms. But somehow, some way, maybe from the excessive oral festivities, the damn BV is back. With a vengeance. He doesn't seem to notice it, and I don't want to treat it with more boric acid while we are having oral sex on a regular basis, so I am resigned to waiting. And waiting. In not-unlike Jewelscando fasion, some days the smell is completely gone for no reason, other days (especially during the last 3 days of my period) it is horrifically strong. Anyway, I just thought I'd share the news that at least for me, this BV sh*t is definitely sex related. I am going to try treating it with boric acid during my next period when we are not having sex anyway, so that he won't miss out. Although I have tried that before and it doesn't seem to "take" as well, maybe b/c things are already hormonally in flux down there during that time. I am SO GLAD though to hear that the boric acid is working so well for all of you with next to no irritation and a reminder to the newbies -- don't eat the stuff!! It's a suppository, not a supplement. Sure is great that something so cheap and so accessible works for so many folks, and the great thing is it doubles as a yeast infection treatment should we ever need it, though since the BV set in 2 years ago, I never seem to get those anymore, even while using yucky old metronidazole... ugh. Stay healthy and keep taking your probiotics everyone!!! Gotta repopulate those good bacteria too! |
