last year i replaced all the windows in my house with those expensive double pane energy efficient kinds, in a beautiful yellow shade similar to my hair. but this week, i got a call from the contractor who installed them. he was complaining that the work had been completed a whole year ago and i hadn't paid for them. hellloooo? now just because i'm blonde doesn't mean that i am automatically stupid. so, i told him just what his fast talking sales guy had told me last year... namely, that in one year these windows would pay for themselves! "helllooooo? it's been a year," i told him! there was only silence at the other end of the line, so i finally just hung up.... he didn't call back. guess i won that stupid argument.
the food and drug administration reported yesterday that two more women have died after taking the ru-486 abortion pill, bringing to seven the number of fatalities associated with the drug since it was approved for use in 2000.
the agency said that it was investigating the new reports, provided by the manufacturer of the drug, but so far was not able to confirm any cause of death. in four earlier fatalities of california women who had undergone medical abortions, the victims died of a form of blood poisoning caused by clostridium sordellii , a common but rarely fatal bacterium.opponents of abortion quickly described the fda advisory as another reason to ban the abortion pill, sold as mifeprex.
"ru-486 is a deadly drug that is killing pregnant women," sen. jim demint (r-s.c.), who has co-sponsored a bill to take the drug off the market pending a review, said in a statement. "this drug should never have been approved, and it must be suspended immediately." but supporters said that the pill, which has been used worldwide for years, remains safe.
the fda said yesterday that it did not know whether the clostridium bacteria played any role in the most recent deaths, but the agency did establish that it was present in four earlier fatalities. one other death related to medical abortion was in a woman who had an ectopic pregnancy -- a condition where ru-486 is not considered appropriate.
opponents of medical abortion filed a citizen's petition with the fda soon after the drug was approved for use, but the fda has never acted on it. in addition, rep. roscoe g. bartlett (r-md.) introduced a bill in 2003 -- called holly's law, after holly patterson, an 18-year-old california woman who died following a medical abortion -- that would ban use of ru-486. the bill has 79 co-sponsors. bartlett said yesterday that the maker of mifeprex, danco laboratories llc, should pull the drug from the market. if it refuses, he said, the fda should force its withdrawal.
this is a pretty cool prank. i'd laugh if someone did it to me. but damn that candid laughter sh*t in the backround is annoying.

article submitted by master911. a quiet round of golf is a popular way to relax for many australians, but experts warn the sport can be so loud it could leave players deaf. doctors in the united kingdom say modern titanium clubs create a "sonic boom" when they connect with the ball, which is so loud it could shatter golfers' eardrums. some believe the risk of going deaf is so great they have advised golfers to wear earplugs to tee off. experts have identified at least one case of a golfer they believe has hearing damage as a result of using a titanium driver. but pete's golf pga professional peter radford said manufacturers were working on making titanium drivers quieter. "when titanium first came out they were trying to make a big head so they stretched the metal further and further . . . and the early ones did make a lot of noise," he said. "but every generation of clubs is quieter." most golfers associate a satisfying impact noise with a good shot, so manufacturers strive to produce clubs with a sound that is music to a golfer's ears. "the new callaway fitq's big selling point is that it's quieter than the callaway fit," radford said. doctors at norfolk and norwich university hospital in the uk conducted tests on titanium and stainless steel drivers after a 55-year-old golfer complained of unexplained ringing and reduced hearing in his right ear. he'd been playing golf with a king cobra ld titanium driver three times a week for 18 months and said the noise was "like a gun going off" and had become so unpleasant he had discarded the club. the doctors could find no other physical explanation for the golfer's hearing loss. when tested, the titanium drivers made a much louder sound than the steel-headed clubs. the doctors' report, published in the latest edition of the british medical journal, concluded "caution should be exercised by golfers who play regularly with thin-faced titanium drivers". report co-author dr malcolm buchanan said the sound from thin-faced titanium drivers could induce temporary or permanent cochlear damage. "wearing earplugs is a possibility, although it might be a bit too radical for some," he said. source
